So, it's about time to update this thread!
11th July
A few weeks after having the new engine running it got BHG, as the core heater hose went bad, so the engine overheated. The top was machined, and then new stock HG with the ARP studs.. Also got a new pillar pod, lotek 2 insted of 3, so now I can keep stock grab handle, looks much better.

Got the turbo back from overhauling. Looks like new
Also done a knock sensor rewire, but still got error, so guess it's the sensor(s), just my luck.

I've had the car running 110% with no problems since the 25th of July, new record! Been using it as a diaily driver,. No oil, water or vacuum leaks! Now that the turbo has been overhauled, it's hitting fuel cut on about 0,7-0,8 bar. WIll be saving up for 550cc and walbro 255. Already bought a lexus afm.
Other then that I felt like doing some shopping.. so bought a
Bee*R Rev Limiter swell as
Line-Lock.
Next will be to buy a bigger radiator and dual 12" electric fans.
Took a picture of it at work. Done some cleaning and restoring. Used a "tornado" to renew the leather seats, worked perfectly! It sends out a liquid with pulsating air pressure, cleaning and restoring leather. Also changed both inner side door panels as the old ones were cut to fit a speaker(by previous owner). Updated the stereo a little, so bought a Sony XAV-W1 2-din player, and removed a whole lot of old wiring mess.

17th August
Tok some time to clean out more. Found a really old Pioneer 60w amplifier under the drivers seat. The other antenna(got two on the car if you haven't noticed) goes to.. nothing. Removed a whole lot of old messy cables. Other then that I felt like doing a short shift mod, as it was really loose when it was in gear. Removed the black "shoulder", made some threads. Fille the TRD knob with chemical metal, drilled and made threads in that. Now it's perfect to shift
I've received the Bee*R limiter for a few days ago. Very fun toy, but try to keep it turned off most of the time while driving normally, to not get tempted. Still got line-lock on it's way. I've also ordered a CXracing 3" rad with dual 12" fans and alu shroud, aswell as Hayden fan controller.
