CURRENT PLANS:
atm just looking to rebuild another 4AGE 16v out of the car... still havent fully decided what the rebuilds going to entail, still reading and learning a lot.. but it will for sure have a smallport bottom end with a bigport head, ITB's, Cams and a standalone ecu... more than likely aftermarket pistons also, just ironing out all the finer details at this point... anyone who feels they can help me in this regard whether it be information or even just pointing me in the right direction with parts/builders or what not, would be much appreciated... looking to build something around 180-200hp give or take...

When i first got the car it looked like this





got myself some meshies and had some of the suspension in at this stage





got myself a letter box grille, redlines and bucket seat






got a new set of Longchamps 15x7 +11 and tyres






Cusco camber tops, AJPS RCA's, watanabe's 15x8 -10 also sprayed the bumpers black and fitted TRD copy lip

Trailored up for winton skids





did my old motor at winton, had this replacement waiting... just cleaning it up and a few freshened up bits for install. you can see otaku busting a sweat he helped me heaps with this, big props to him again!










4.3's TRD 2way and my t-series which i got freshly rebuilt. JDM calipers, with slotted/vented rotors + braided lines

how the engine bay is today, minus the turbo resting in there... that was for shits and giggles

been a while since ive posted an update... so here it is. im not big on writing so here's pictures to compensate
got a pair of average guards that i wanted to flare. also wanted a bit of practice with panel beating and painting. this is the progress so far.
i ended up buying a compressor and a few other bits aswell

































my guard rolling tool i didnt have a pole lol

Nice pics and car...

how do you find your compressor goes with the air sander... i found my 2.2hp one struggles with a sander, could be my sander is el cheapo

[JDM-086]

Thanks guys!! nice to hear, especially when 6+ years of ups and downs have been put into it

ps. the house in the welding photos isnt mine. friends house lol


mine is a 2.5hp compressor and its not too bad. the compressor is a supercheap auto special. i only bought it because it was an ex demo so it was $114, couldn't resist as for the air sander mine is also an el cheapo from masters but it definitely hogs a lot of air... i can use it constantly but the pressure does drop off gradually. i like to take small breaks here and there to let the compressor build up a bit more air pressure so the sander has a bit more grunt, especially when sanding stubborn bits. but generally speaking its enough to get the job done, for what i paid i expected worse to be honest. Depending on how these guards turn out i may even do the rest of the car which would really put it to the test.

Quick update! bought these bad boys from japan, hope to see them in a couple of months
guards are also finished and on the car, going to give it a nice clean soon and will take a few happy snaps and upload
