    LOL i'm sure you could get a set for less than the price it would cost you to get to the UK and back,

    Overdue update,
    Not done a lot to G4CELL but always fancied the JDM rear light look so sorted that out.

    Twin tails either side

    Don't know if you can see any difference to how bright each side is but the left side lens has been polished not done the right side yet,
    They were pretty badly faded.

    And twin fogs

    [​IMG]

    Also done the gasket leak on the inlet manifold

    Injector seals were shagged they were genuine toyota to 5 months ago,

    She certainly picks her feet up now lol

    Before and after shots of the lights can see how dull they were

    looks lovely.
    is that richards old hood?
    you can use 90-93 mr2 turbo intake gaskets, they are metal and seal much better than the paper gen1 gasket.
    i'll assume arp studs and a metal head gasket now as well?

    Yes Willie, that is Rich's (Alwayzsidewayz) old hood.

    Yes mate as Steve says it is Rich's old hood.
    Good shout on the intake gasket as i have only found the paper one. Also yes i have new studs on order + i have a metal hg.

    i would suggest a straight intake and replacing the heat shield on the turbo after she is running again.
     
  18. shaun4vert

    shaun4vert Well-Known Member Donated!

    I do have the heatshield and heat mat to go under it. Just left it off until i have started her again.
    I have also been thinking about the straight intake to the turbo but don't want the battery in the boot. Wonder if i can wangle it to fit in the bay where the intake is now ? Any ideas ?

    a lot of fellas use a honda size battery. then you can fit it all under the hood.

    Getting her ready for a front mount cooler.
    Went to have her de gassed to remove the A/C to find it was already empty. Fitted some bumper vents to help with cooling also fitted a A/F GAUGE.
