My 89 Build

[force_feed]

The car is actually a na/auto converted to manual turbo

Pics:

this is the only thing I don't like about the car

 

[supraguy@aol]

Its a bit rough around the edges still, but there's also alot of win hidden in that car.
Blitz IC, and looks like Tien coilovers, and not sure what exhaust that is.

 

[force_feed]

Yea it needs some TLC, but my buddy I got it from has quite a few of them and said I can come get whatever I needed.

I'm not sure what brand exhaust it has, but its a blitz muffler.

I have a fresh 7m with Comp Valve springs and ARP rod bolts, and another buddy of mine GAVE me a 2jz n/a that has a blown headgasket that he pulled out of his SC300.

 

[supraguy@aol]

It may be a Nur-Spec exhaust. The connecting flange by the diff looks correct.
Me, I'd stick with the 7M.
If you go the JZ NA-T swap route, you can expect it to take ALOT longer, and require alot of fabbing.
I'm sticking with 7M, and I already haven't driven my car in over a year and a half!

Amazing what a good bath will do

It looks way better in the pics because the car was wet. But it looks 100 times better than it did before I washed it.

Cleaned up the engine bay this past weekend.

Looks great!
Just cleaned/ painted mine as well.

 

[force_feed]

what did you paint your firewall with?

 

[supraguy@aol]

I used a Honda metallic grey touchip paint on mine, with a seperate clearcoat.
Its slightly darker than oem 167, but i might end up painting the car with it as well.

Well I decided I wanted to revamp my cluster and hvac controls with led's after looking at some threads on here and supraforums.

I searched eBay for 2 damn hours and couldn't find everything in the same color, so I said screw it and ordered everything from www.superbrightleds.com. The downside to that is I spent $80.00 on just my cluster, hvac, and all the misc. lights in the dash (glove box, ash tray, etc.)

If it turns out good I'll do the rest of the interior lighting.

Depends on how big a pain it turns out to be, but I would be interested in offering this as a service. Any demand in that???

Cleaned up the interior of the car finally although it might be hard to tell from the pics

I got a momo steering wheel from a buddy of mine. I just haven't went and pulled it from his DSM yet.
I need a hub, and thinking about a NR>G short quick release.

Nope, there's no demand for it.
At least not for what it'd be worth it for you to offer.
I've modded and sold at least 8 climate control units, in every combination of colors(including the temp displays), but I never made more than $20 profit on a unit, over
the cost of the parts, and the original purchase of the control unit.

 

[force_feed]

Ok thanks for the heads up.

Where did you find the display at? I'd like to change that too!

 

[supraguy@aol]

You want a .39 or .40 inch common anode display.

Ok, so the PO bought this car with a 1j swap and pulled the motor for something else. I have this Blitz FMIC that wont really work for me, so if anybody has any parts they want to trade let me know.
It has some damage to the bottom of it.

I will be keeping the mounting brackets.

 

[Beals]

boo just go 1jz/2jz and it will still work

actually I didn't read anywhere what you were going to put into it, 7m I assume? or maybe a lucky candidate for a 1uz? it's a clean car, I'd go v8 and turbo

 

[b'smk3]

car is super clean. and I like the idea of a 1uz, maybe ITB's.... that would look beast

 

[force_feed]

The car came with a rebuilt 7m that I plan on putting back in it. Then I'm going to start collecting parts for a 2jz swap.

I just need a few little things before I install the motor.

**UPDATE**

Having a little bit of a issue getting the title. I might end up parting this bitch out!
