WOW, Tiga ur celi ihas and is still comming a long way bro. Making sure I a close eye on this thread from now on. GREAT JOB and keep it up.

What makes it so light in the rear?

racing with no spare and around 1/4 tank and fairly hard compound tires makes for a back end that will break loose pretty easy haha

[cheela]

Yes sir, and after seeing your awesome PC calipers it prompted me to make a spontaneous purchase of my own as well, lol. Thanks for the motivation bro

IT RUNS IT RUNS!!!


but it still leaks coolant out of the tensioner pulley despite my efforts to seal it.


And, I am going to re-assemble a couple things I had started to take off so I can put it on the ground and see if it drives!!

Is that on the head or the block? I can't seem to remember

[Tigawoods]

its on the block.


got to drive it yesterday and it is L. O. U. D.

I wanted to take it over 4k rpm but I had the feeling someone was bound to complain
The full stainless exhaust has a much tinnier (as expected) sound to it.
I dont love it

here is a idle video. nothing entertaining, more just to document that the car runs at this date

Cams too, right? I'm imagining that gravitates toward V-tak level of noise. Must be fun to drive though.

[richee3]

How's it driving?

yeup. From the couple times I got on it yeah, its sound more vtecky. no good. For now I was just going around the block starting the break in for the clutch
(the car isn't registered so im driving around with no plates ha)

How's it driving?

Its running really really well for being down for a year.
I havent been able to take advantage of the LSD yet

Well, if you want a block, I have one with 127k on it. I have the internals, just have to find where I put them all lol
You can have it for cheap too, it's taking up space on the stand which is going to be used for the 1mz I acquired

[Tigawoods]

nah thats alright, but thanks for the offer!
Its not a terrible leak. the power steering leak is something I am going to address.
And maybe I will try to take another shot at the coolant leak later on, but the car runs right now and it perfectly timed. I dont want to touch it for a little while haha


Getting the last remaining parts needed this week to start the brake swap finally

[mkernz22]

Well if you want it, its only $100 obo lol
(That's also open to everyone).

But I can't wait to see the brakes on this baby!

Im trying to do everything I can to salvage this block. it is still under 70k too!

Anyways finally got in most of what I need to finally knock out the brake job! Just need to grab some replacement e-brake pads from toyota and brake fluid thats in the mail still.



here are the EBC rotors I had to order from EBC UK along with Goodridge brake lines



and soon enough these will be on!!!



Another big thing I finally got handled was an issue I was having with finding out wether or not I would be able to register the car in PA so i could get the SCCA specialty plate, but insure it in MD, where I live. And after 3 disgruntled Department of Motor Vehicle employee's I called, I finally got one who said it was possible as long as the insurance agency was okay with it, which they are.

So no front license plate! Whew.

If you have coolant around the tensioner area then its most likely coming from the water pump thats right next to it.

[njccmd2002]

how will u be doing ur gt4 brake swap, are u cutting the disc to 298, or using a full disc. Spacers? just curious, cuz im in the same boat!

its actually coming from a crack in the tensioner pulley hole

for the fronts or rears?
My fronts are bolt on ready. As are the rears. All i need is hub centric ring spacer

[njccmd2002]

how re the fronts bolt on, are you swapping to gt4 suspension?

[Tigawoods]

Nope they'll just bolt right up for me. The front has already been adapted to fit my car, I have hubs that are tapped to fit the calipers.

[Malek]

So those are na MK4 Supra front rotors? Do you need any spacers behind them?

Also, those brake lines. Did you get the ST205 specific Goodridge ones or another set that had similar lengths?

Sorry for the questions haha I don't want to do drilled catera rotors with spacers..
