Bad bits: Original paintwork has quite a lot of stone chips and blemishes Front O/S wing has slight dent behind headlight (see pic) Tailgate was carbon wrapped a long time ago and is showing signs of age Usual small rust patch at bottom of rear window Alloys need refurbing as they are kerbed and corroded (bought them this way and not managed to get them done yet) Dash temp gauge doesn't work since the engine swap (not the only 1jz conversion with this issue hence the separate water temp gauge fitted to dash). My priority has always been to get her "right" underneath and then get on with the cosmetics (paintwork and wheels etc) but now can not fund her further, I will be very sorry to see her go.

Yes Auto.

The time has come for me to part with my project and move to something that is easier to live with ....(for now that is), I just can't continue to spend to get her where I want to so here she is, Started out as a 199 N/A Auto and last year I removed the N/A engine and dropped in a 1JZ along with the 1JZ auto box followed by replacement 2nd hand turbo's, oil and filter changed 3 times since the 1JZ was fitted also replaced the gearbox filter at the time of exchange and used Dexron ll (as stated on dipstick)also used new Dexron ll for power steering flush and fill and new Toyota red coolant. New rocker gaskets, BKR7E plugs (colder than standard) and new coil pack clips, K&N air filter, full 3" decat with 3" Kakimoto catback, restrictor ring, Blitz dual SBC R boost controller and Walbro 225 fuel pump. This is how she stands now, other work that has been carried out in my ownership is.....Tailgate struts, front calipers and discs changed, rear discs, Bilstein shocks with Tein springs, boot rubbers, front and rear droplinks, front ARB bushes, rear upper wishbone bushes replaced with Super pro ones, S2000 ariel, Leather front seats with "Supra" logo (very good condition), black Leatherette headlining, Oz steering wheel, new front and rear speakers with amp and sub in boot, New DAB single din Sony headunit, Zunsport front grille set and 4 52mm gauge holders with a couple of gauges in (NOT the best gauges money can buy). I have replaced the rear gearbox seal and the car is solid, there are a couple of things that let her down and these are... the original paintwork (plenty of stone chips and blemishes) the tailgate (carbon wrapped that has been patched with more sticky carbon to hide marks and scrapes) along with the usual rust patch that is "progressing slowly" at the bottom of the rear window and the wheels are badly corroded needing a refurb but the tyres have plenty of meat on them. I have a folder full of receipts and the import documents (imported 2006), the mileage on the car is 151k km and 116k km on the engine, she runs beautifully and has never let me down, MOT is due in January and I have a 2nd cat to go with the car (just in case you don't have a friendly MOT station). I will update with pictures as soon as I can ( my computer struggles with this). What are your thoughts on a sensible asking price?

Dread to think how much you spent

Just fasten it to one end pin so it's not bridging any two together, this way you won't lose them.

Sent it back, had to wait ages for refund but bought one from Whifbitz, fitted it and it runs beautifully Don't buy cheap Ebay crap

My temp gauge won't read properly either.....There's loads left in that tank by the way, I've had my gauge to the middle of the E and was still going :-)

All the best David

Nice

It's only the block side of the stud that is oversize, they do the appropriate tap too and it's a simple job and they are SOLID. I used helicoils years ago in my motorbike heads but they never felt strong, you could always feel them stretch........oversize studs ftw.

TCB do replacement slightly oversize studs, I've used them and swear by them

I have just bought a Blitz dual sbc

Isn't that 4 runner cap on upside down? (pic 2 post no8)

Have also found it from another Trader on here ....Cheaper I'd have thought they were ok if the traders are supplying them.....

Just found the same item but from a Trader on here.....Dearer.

Boost controllers (as far as I can gather) are very pricey new but very good 2nd hand ones DO come up now and again, I've been looking for a few day's now but not found any and then came across this......I don't know much about them and this is why I'm asking for your opinions but IF this was any good I could kill two birds with one stone and save myself over £100.

I've just watched Rock n Rolla, I'd forgotten how good it was.

I knew a guy who bought a black cab with 850k miles on it

Simple .....get em both

There is a guy on here with that name, he bought an exhaust off me, yeah that's him

LOL longevity.....mine's a Bosch and has been on the car since I got it (3 years), longest I've left it is three weeks and it still turned over and fired up no problem. If you use your car regular then your battery will last longer/be stronger than if left for longer periods.
