My ride :) ST162 April 1986, ST165 R.I.P. Engine kept !

Worked on the celica again today. Interior is almost done and back in place except for the drivers side lower part as it is easier to access the fusebox if needed now. Except for the IC pump which I received today, all is in and we started her up again today. Thanks to Alwayz sending me his NGK Powerleads !!

All we got was a code 54 which is the IC Pump ECU so that's a good start

The car ran rough stationairy so that's to find out what's going on. Next time put in the IC pump and the ST185 fuelpump and if the 3" exhaust is done ready for a first roadtest I guess





Please tell me what's on this connector??? It's on the passenger side kick panel or whatever you call it and is different from the loom of my GTS which is under the front fender...we didn't exchange that part as it is a terrible job to take off with the bodykit etcetera...
I didn'thave a signal from my gastank as well, the fuel level didn't show....



A short movie :

@Kevinkyang, it has been black for many years allready. Changed the brown interior as soon as I decided to strip down my st165 about 4-5 years ago .

Can't wait to get it on the road, new powerestimate on the official papers for the insurance and get driving !

 

I changed the interior from pre facelift to facelift that is why I did it. I guess normally only the engine wiring should be enough.

 

thanks everyone !

@kevinkyang : I sprayed multiple parts black that were originally brown...nobody ever noticed this, even myself when taking it apart thought..ow this was brown too?

So my advice is to spray it all, maybe use a carpet for the dash itself which you can buy online? I know where to get a black one, but shipping is not doable due to weight and size overseas...

 

*hugging Rich*

 

mechanic was visiting today, things not yet working on the dash:
Fuellevel
Boost (aftermarket meter works fine)
lights (makes sense as dimmer is not yet plugged in)

Would these things be connected to the loose connector I showed the picture of?

 

that's a thing to try indeed

but I was guessing some elecctrical issues.

We'll sort it out somehow , The engine is running smooth now by the way

Goal is to be all done next week.

 

will certainly try this !! Have like 3 of them laying around

 

Is there someone here from the UK who gets a good discount at fensport??

 

ok...did a testdrive today...











WOWWWWWWWWWWW, fricking fast man !!

Only few things left to do now,but wow...what a fast ride it has become, can't wait to have her on the dyno for real numbers .
