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
