this is what i mostly do. improve whatever i can on my 91 twin. i try to make the most of the the acronym DIY ( do it yourself)
just thought id share my work with the rest of you guys.:icon_bigg
didnt include the maintinance things.
currently i havealready installed vacuum(dont know why i put that one in), volts, and rpm gauge. repainted the center console, changed the boot cover for a momo leather,and a Mogg shift knob, changed the crappy 3m steering wheel for a Personal and lots of underdash rewiering. and i added an omp fourpoint harness.
wanted clarity to my audio so i added Focal K3 165 polykevlar line speakers.
ok for the engine bay this is how it looked like when i bought the car
now i polished the cover and the rest of the aluminum parts of the engine bay when i had the engine rebuild which took me 6 months to wait for the damn apex headgasket i ordered from the states. and i put in a KYB three puck racing clutch.
pic when the engine was coming appart. dont have something to pull the engine out so it was dismemberd piece by piece inside the engine bay.:sarcasm:
picture when i finally put the engine back in as you can see i work mostly at night because it is hot as hell during the day.:icon_bigg
had the car repainted with a red that didnt seem brown i the evening.
and i got a sponsorship from meguiars so they cleaned up the new paint pretty nicely.
i painted the rims metallic gold. which i thought would be crappy but turned out pretty nice.:icon_bigg and i changed the lugg nutts.
now to current date.
last night i pulled appart the suspension so the car currently sits on a pair of wheels and a pair of jackstands (only have two):cry:
have to change the old springs and strutts. as usual i couldnt find parts for my supra here in the philippines so i had the idea of changing them to the most similar looking ones i could find. this is where the excitement begins.
check out the difference.
the upper one is the one from the rear and the lower one is from the front. the only strutts i could find were the front strutts for the toyota crown.:1zhelp: now i have to change the springs to ones from the rear suspension of the mitsubishi gallant( the only ones that could maintain the stock ridegeight and fit on the kyb excel-g) i dont know if its such a good idea but im going to put the same new struts and springs up front and in the rear. there is no other way to do it because i dont want to have to order again from the states.
ill post new pics when im done. pardon my english and the blurry photography.:icon_bigg
