Tyler,
Good luck with your build!

Remember it's not about how much money you put into your car it's how much enjoyment you get out of it! Some of the coolest cars I've ever owned have been the cheapest built, of course they weren't the safest, prettiest or longest lasting, but man they were fun to drive!

Exterior-
NEW PAINT [long time]

I need to locate an oil leak as well as something is burning white smoke next to the exhaust manifold on the first cylinder by the CPS next to the power steering resevoir. more to come on that when i get the engine bay cleaned up.

The majority of these parts are simply to replace all of the stock rubber hoses and old parts to make sure she is maintained and up to good stock running condition. I want good reliability with some play on the weekends!

hope that clears up some things if anyone was wondering. ive got a hellova build coming up just to get where i wanna clean up some things and get her running very nicely daily.

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

today, i installed my HKS 3000 pipe. i also finished off the upper IC piping with all new 2.5" aluminum piping. right now its "coupler city" under the hood, but i guess form is over function at this point. i need it to run. ill get it all welded up. pics to come!

 

[MK3_Turbo]

[mk3_dude]

that supra was awesome. I loved driving it when he still had it. Im glad to see your doing new things and mods to it. Keep us updated forsure as that car was one strong mk3 for where it was at. !

 

[MK3_Turbo]

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

[forgive me for the engine bay looking like "Coupler City"...pieces will be welded together in the near future, i just wanted to get it taken care of and make it run]

[CampbellsChunkySoupra]

update:

+replaced valve cover gaskets [old ones were VERY brittle and they snapped with any flex that i gave them when i removed them]
+replaced the o-ring on the CPS [also was very brittle]
+changed my oil. added 10-W30. summer, here i come!

so far there is no more oil leaks from what i have dont today. i also cleaned up several parts and checked my turbo. little to no shaft play and things are looking good!

most of the maintainence is getting done like i had already planned. should be pressure washing the engine bay here in a day or two and finally replacing the starter and the belts just to make sure. more updates in awhile.

ive got pics of the valve cover replacement, ill have to get them off my phone.

-enjoy!
