After seeing Tigawoods red roof lining, I've got my roof lining stripped out to do something similar, I have a roll of red acrylic felt and am wanting to have TTE// down the middle instead of bride.

Maybe at a later stage a roll cage would be awesome, with a camera bar up top like Tufy's.

Work in progress...

Would you mind telling me which glue you used for those door inserts Mike?

CRC Ados F2 in a Tube for the door cards, and CRC Ados F2 spray for the roof liner.

[Penkka]

that roof is seriously messed up, on a good way!

Not sold here......I appreciate it though. Did you remove the vinyl or are the inserts applied over the top?

Just the fabric.

Any multi purpose adhesive for leather, fabric, etc will do, I use Ados F2 because it's industrial strength, it will never peel like the factory stuff

[SwissFerdi]

Well, reason I ask is because I bought 3M adhesive specially made for vinyl applications. However, the insert starting peeling off when I stood the panel back up for a while, even after I had let the glue cure for 30 minutes. It's possible that I didn't use enough, but I won't find out because I returned the stuff already - 12 bucks per can.

Thanks though...

Nah this stuff I use cures in 5 minutes, have to be really careful, if you slip you f**k it up permanently lol.

You might have a US equiv to Ados F2 in another brand, Check your hardware store for a brand you trust, something used in the trade industry.

Recent updates...

HKS Bov and Sony mp3 cd player.

It seems as though some turbo lag has gone away with the HKS Bov, perhaps the factory valve is slightly leaky?

[Rusty]

nice upgrade on the BOV, after a while I'd recommend changing the fin to the purple or gold. example by brothers old s14a had the HKS BOV, except pretty everyone else in the area had either a hks or hks style, so all the turbo'd cars made the same sound. So he changed the fin to be a bit different.

Hello delusionz great looking car.
I want to ask you about your front lip.
When you install it you needed any mods to it so it can fit on your gt4 bumper or it fit just easy as it will fit on a standard celica bumper?
Because the gt4 bumper is a little longer than the gt bumper.

[delusionz]

marinos the tom's lip doesnt fit very well, its ugly infact i've ditched it.

[delusionz]

Having some engine/turbo trouble now so car is in mechanic getting tested so in the mean time, Been doing some shopping for a few bits and pieces to fix up the rest of the car.





The purple thing is a "manifold vacuum distributor" which is exactly what the name implys, will mount this on the firewall. figured since I have a spare port on the manifold from bypassing the pcv system and I have several T-pieces for my boost controller and boost gauge, why not eh?







Still have a driver seat to come, 7th gen short shifter, TRD duracon knob, IC pump and level sensor, 6 mini t-bolts for the rad hose, and more


And the latest picture of the engine bay (subject to change, very soon)
