Bluestreak WIP

Hi guys thought I would get some pics up now so you could see the improvements as they go on.

Cars an 88 162

When I bought it, it had been lowered 25mm, Subaru Scoop, power boost valve added, have found out thanks to Stig that it has a gen 2 head and tubula headers. Car has been resprayed toyota strong blue, rocker cover and front strut , mirrors and trim have been colour coded to match. Passenger door delocked.

Plans are to fit a proper gen 2 inlet manifold,
have a cone filter and stainless heatshield,
fit kyb shocks and a polybush kit thats being developed by bonaprene.
HID kit for the headlights, led sidelights and rear number plate lights,
swap over my blackdiamond grooved and drilled discs front and rear with predator pads,
colour code the calipers and maybe upgrade them.
Fit set of gen 5 alloys in black
Full stainless exhaust system.
Recover the seats in leather.
Momo pedals Gearknob and wheel.
Also have a 6 inch sub, 2 6x9 and amp in a stealth shelf to fit to head unit with dvd and mp3 imput

After that who knows!!!

Re: Bluestreaks ride

Re: Bluestreaks ride

Are you sure you have a Gen1 3SGE cylinder head still, dead give-a-ways are the oil pressure sending unit, coolant sensor neck and top feed fuel rail...nice Gen2 3SGE valve cover and extractors though.
If I could make a suggestion, replace the intake pipe, put a K&N panel filter in the STOCK air box, bump your timing advance a little if you run premium on a regular basis and get a nice free flowing exhaust if you budget allows, you'll get much more responsive and peepier car out of it.
Nice sunroof, Im jealous.

 

Re: Bluestreaks ride

Its been a bit like christmas today!!! Every time I've opened my door someones handed me some Celica parts!!!





Have my Gen 2 manifold now. Came with a throttle body as well. Can I use this one Stig or do I need to swap for the one in my car already?? :?





I also got a gasket set for a gen5 celica. 3sge 89-93 is that the right one :?:

 

Re: Bluestreaks ride

Thats all I got with it. Haven't seen a gen 2 up close so wouldn't really know all the details I need. Do you have pics of the brackets and manifold installed mate???

 

Re: Bluestreaks ride

Thanx Stig, Looks like this is gonna take some plumbing in!!!! ohnoes

Carson, I did install the kit but wasn't impressed. the light looked real good and I think its a good mod but the kit was not great for a celica.

The cables were all too short so it was diffucult to mount the ballasts and relay in a suitable place. One way would be to lengthen the cables yourself but this would invalidate the warrenty. The bulb fixins are also a bit flimsy, and replacements for that kit seem to be hard to get.

I will be looking for a better kit for this mod.
