New Project

speedfiend · 08-22-2010, 05:44 PM

UPDATE: new hood struts, new antenna mast, new HID fog light bulbs, cleaned the contacts in the window master, resealed the top of the engine, R&R'd plugs with NGK iridiums, R&R'd plug wires w/ NGKs, tinted the windows, cut the old paint and waxed... now I can really tell it needs a paint job!

Parts on order: Denso A/C compressor, TRD grill emblem, hatch gasket & struts, OEM spoiler, blower motor resistor and a "kamikaze" graphic for the windshield.

Here's a freshly waxed pic...

*update* Added the rear spoiler, which was luckily the matching color. I was changing the fog lamp bulbs and dropped and broke a damned lens, installed a new Denso A/C compressor & dryer, replaced the "Toyota" grill emblem with a "TRD" emblem, replaced the water pump & rad cap.
I just had "7MGE" put on a "Barber's Motor Sports" specialty tag like this one.
When I changed the old fuel filter it got 750 more rpm's on the big end! I have a cam phone pic of 120 (129mph corrected) if I can figure out how to post it...

small steps, mostly in the right direction...

sounds like everything is going good.

I've been busy for a couple of weeks, off and on, no pics atm.
The state finally got my Barber's 7MGE tag to me, I installed a new Kenwood head unit, properly bracket mounted, courtesy of a local recycler, replaced the worn shift boot and missing e-brake cover with matching black leather w/ red stitching, OEM cargo cover, installed front and rear strut braces, non-cracked tail lights, installed near new fog lights and did the relay rewire so I can now turn them on when I want, T-belt and accompanying seals, Hayden 16" fan w/ A/C demand and thermostatic relay control, tweaked and tuned AFM & TPS. I have found some adjustable HK$ cam gears, I want to see the other side of 150mph with it...

I hope to find the passenger side body molding by the first of the year so I can get it ready to prep it for paint.
one piece at a time...
