Stupid question, what did you use to fill in your wife's raisers blocks?

Used some specially made infills off a bloke in the UK - www.skewer.co.uk

You ordered a moroso sump? Let us know how it goes with installing it....i have heard that it was only made for the GEN2's and wouldnt fit on the GEN3's.....anywho great celica you have there...Cant wait to see its continued evolution!

im having a rev 2 block mated to a rev 3 head so it will work

[johnyboy1976]

Well my sump , samco rad hoses and ARP L19 head bolts finally arrived after 5 months of waiting.
Just need a set of subframes for my seats and a MSD ignition kit and ill have everything i need then.

[johnyboy1976]

Electronic controller unit for the water pump and fans arrived today so 1 less thing on my list

[3WayStunna]

Out of curiosity, why did you mate a rev 2 block to a gen 3 head? isnt that taking a step backwards? Also on another note, you wouldnt happen to be using an EWP electric water pump would you

[DKGT4]

What a good looking build. I personally am looking for a new guage kit. I really don't like the stock version as it looks out-dated. Your guage dials are very nice. Did they come with the vehicle or were they purchased and installed as after market?

[johnyboy1976]

Im using a Rev 2 block as these have been found to be stronger than the Rev 3 blocks by very reputable UK tuners and thats what my engine builder recommends.
Yes im using a Davies craig EWP.

Ref the clock faces they are made by www.skewer.co.uk

Hey John.
Nice car.
Where did you get cf side skirts, hood, splitters etc?

[johnyboy1976]

Cheers
Got all the cf kit apart from mirrors - they are APR - from RTPerformance.
Yellowchinaman on here is owner of the company

[SwissFerdi]

Sequential shifter kit, that's a unique one. Best of luck with that progress, those parts are cherry.

where did u get ikeya sequential shifter kit?

[johnyboy1976]

Placed called Fensport - could have got from Nengun or RHDJapan but fensport offer a full no quibble warranty and will fit it as they have done a few already

is the baby bottle JDM....?

nice car parts. motec display? nice....

[johnyboy1976]

As i have a lot of electrical items that are no longer in use ive decided to go for a custom loom.
This will be more efficient as will be brand new and also mean i can remove the fuses and relays from the egine bay and create a cleaner look under the bonnet.
Just need one of these

[johnyboy1976]

These are the bits ill be getting in next couple of months - as well as doing a important job they are all siny too

Twin fuel filter set up and mounting plate for Bosch 044 pumps - just means i need another pump



Nice 10 gallon fuel tank



1.5 litre water swirl pot



2 litre header tank



1.75 litre water injection tank - means it can be under the bonnet rather than in car as planned

[johnyboy1976]

Well i have done a deal on a nice set of new road wheels - Volk CE28's in 8.5x18 and bronze - and these are my all time favourite alloy wheels so chuffed to finally have some.
Also interior has been totally stripped out and ready for flocking - just waiting on my door cards to come back from retrimming so the untrimmed bits can be flocked and then my nice red alcantara headlining and visors can be fitted.

But a long way off being finished as still need to pay the company who is doing my car for all this work

Samco hoses

Didn't know Samco made rad hoses in this color for the Gt-Four, I went on their site and don't remember seeing any in purple. Good to now though, I was looking for some! How much did they cost you?
