It all started in Decemeber 2005, hunting for a new car, stumbled accross a nice UK Spec Auto 1995 with 63,000 miles. Bog Standard, so i bought her!
Over the years she went BPU with an extra FMIC, had a DoLuck front, OEM Skirts and Spats, TRD Spoiler, 19" Black/Polished Wheels, Tein Superstreets, Custom Speaker Boot Build, New Recaro's, New Dash Paintjob, few gauges, engine bling etc etc
Here's a few pics
Every since i went BPU i was getting slight puffs of smoke from the exhaust after overrun, so decided to remove the engine and take head off to change stem seals...
One thing led to another and im doing a full blown restore, engine rebuild, respray (with new seals and trims), Dash Retrim (dynamat the whole interior), 6speed manual conversion, strip down undercarrage and restore suspension arms, subframes, diff.....
and most important of all ... Single Turbo Conversion
Its going to take a while for me to finish the job, as funds arent brilliant after loosing my job due to credit crunch, BUT it will be done, and it will be done properlly! So bare with me with the progress and updates! Ive cleared out a double garage, painted the floor, walls and put electric, bench, compressor in there, so it will be nicelly set up for me
Right, Spec...
Lets start off with the engine:
Im tempted by the BC Stroker, with the CP and Carillo Package
or just forged engine CP and Carillo again (86.5mm Pistons)
ARP Stud Kits for bottom end and head studs
Ive already bought HKS 264 Cams
Getting Ferrera Valvetrain (stock size) i mean everything, not just vavles
There's loads of little things to add to spec of the engine but im sure you know what they all are
Turbo is going to be HKS T04z with custom made 4" downpipe
going to use a HKS Ti system with that
Fueling is going to be the same as a Stage 2 PHR kit
Going to use AEM AMS with sensors and HKS DLI - or the Solaris S6 looks a bit better
Might be using a Greddy 4Row, if not definatelly 3Row
Thicker Radiator with Electric Fans or keep viscous
Greddy oil cooler kit
Clutch, well i know its expensive but im going for the RPS Carbon Carbon and RPS Fly
Brakes will be getting uprated, 6Pot Brembo's 14" discs for front and rear will be 4pots (so will have UK Spec for sale soon)
Im going to refurb my wheels to, try them in black as they are first with the new colour, then if i dont like i'll paint them a nice silver, maybe look into getting 19's Volk GTC's
Im going to keep my DoLuck front, i got Blitz skirts, Trial Rear and VS Overfenders(not using anymore) She's going to be painted in Lambo Grigio Avlon Thing will look awsome with the blend of Carbon Fin and end Caps of TRD Wing and the bottom of the Trial painted Satin Black, and possibly the DoLuck Gob
If ive left anything out, i will add as i go along!
