Dorman Wheel Studs from a 02-03 Toyota Corolla/Matrix PN# 641-4208 (DON'T BUY!!!!! THEY'RE ****!!!!)link: http://www.hunt4steve.com/05TacoExtLn.html
flew in to vancouver, bought off Dee Lo, and drove it home: 1987 black GTS with a Ae101 60k on the motor just swapped in, battery relocated behind the seat and new brakes and rotors all around, trd short shifter and trd header with 2.5" exhaust...
home:
added skyline seats and new carpet:
put the redlines on (middle piece was broken in the mail):
painless wiring and my own descriptions lol:
replace rear suspension:
time to get rid of that stock bumper:
much better:
stitch weld that front end:
time to fit those 15X10's under there:
new hood:
paint those vents:
add rear wing:
project #1 instead of thr rubber bushings you get with shocks, I used the set of polyurethane bushings that were for my front sway bar for more stiffness ( i installed a whiteline sway on the front instead of using the stock sway bar) I was suprised - no noise or squeaking...
project #2 I had to tap the intake to run my new oil catch can
remove sound deadning - the dry ice trick is the cat's meow...
time to cage it:
and paint
yeah...
shifter
hood pins
project #3 time to fabricate my own seat bracket for my sparco - took about 20 frustrating hrs and 80 dollars in flat metal from home depot (half of which i threw away or ruined) but I came out with this design where its the lowest i can lower a seat, and slightly over to the right of the rollbar to fit my seat with no rubbing issues, and it uses 6 of the stock bolt positions!!! the 4 stock bolts and the 2 seat belt locations! This sucker ain't moving!
time to lengthen those wheel studs for the 15X10
project #4 I robbed a deadpedal from a 87 nissan 200sx cut and mounted it top the footplate so now my foot has a place to rest on long trips...
added a tach this weekend so i can finally see ,y rpm's...
decided to hide the shift light
new header made up by steve g with 1 1/2" primaries and a 2 1/2" collector mock up:
make sure it clears the intercooler piping
as it sits now

take it easy guys.
that's quite a hefty list of modifications friend. it is rather lengthy even for those of us who like such things short and sweet.
welcome to the boards. if anything, you may just want to cut and paste this in the garage section.
appreciate you taking the time to join us and share though. good stuff.
