My daily driver, beater 88 non turbo, 5spd, LSD. Pacesetter 2.5" Cat back and 5 spokes from a 92. The 7MGE has seen alot of abuse since I bought the car 2 years ago, put about 50,000km on and and the last 3000 with rod knock, id keep driving it but the insurance runs out in a week so, good bye 7MGE. I picked up a 7MGTE, most of the swap parts and a good 3.90 diff from a running 88 about 6 months ago, soon after I ended up moving and its sat in my parents garage ever since. Got some time off and another vehicle to drive fairly soon here so its time to get to work on this thing.

Here's what im working with:

I say beater because the paint is crap, the mud flaps are falling off, and its got some healthy dents, still a fun car but rough around the edges.

heres the 7M awaiting its new home.

interior is ok, no I don't have the stock deck or type-s cup holder anymore.

Nothing to exciting on this build, just aiming for a nice clean engine bay for the most part. Mods will include a cheap down pipe, new suspension and bushings, repaint the wheels, 3pc wing is going on, clean up the body a bit, straighten out the moldings, new mudflaps.



Now I need your help, I am looking for some parts, I have paypal. All I need to get this up and running is:

Stock 7MGTE AFM
Stock 7MGTE Fan (10 blade)
Throttle linkage and cables

Prefer to buy from someone in Canada to save on shipping/border fees, also, if you think you have parts id be interested in, post up! Remember, this car is stock.. and I like fancy parts.
