Here is my car when I first bought it









Happy is a kid in a candystore.
Even though I bought it I had to do some repairs. The exhaust had to be completely replaced and some more stuff. Of course than I didn't know about forums yet.




I started changing things about the car.
Altezza lights
Some meters
Painting interior stuff




But than, less than a year after I bought the car, it appeared to be using quit a bit of oil.
As a student I wasn't the most rich person but also didn't want to part from the car.

So a KLZE was bought.

Somebody in a famous movie once said "With great power, comes great responsibility"
For me with great power comes great stopping power

Sandler brake discs
Ferode ds2500 pads
Goodridge brakelines

My stoppingpower went from 1680 to 4560 !!
(perhaps old was bad to, but a big improvement)



After this my audio was created. Together with a friend we started as two noobs making an audio layout







In the meanwhile I've destoyed 1 woofer (after 2 weeks already) and 2 amps.
The newest amp



The woofer is a bit large at the moment but who knows what will happen in the future.


Next up: New wheels !
Searching for over 6 months to find the wheels that I was really fund of. In the end I've found them in Belgium and so far I've only seen one Toyota Celica with thesame rims. Uniquenesss

[WhiteFinish]

After making the nailsfield a littlebit better on the audio it was time to buy some bumpers.. Bumpers as in Rice ??
Yes bumpers as in Rice

I like them so worked hard, saved up money and bought a nice kit.
But... it didn't stop there. Of course the car had to be repainted.

So..
Repaint in Panther Black which is a metallic black with some blue sparkles in it.






And off to the painter.
These nice guys did some more things.
ANGRY Eye mod on the hatch !!!


no more sidemarkers


rearbumper adapted a bit


Hood with scoop and evil look


Skirts molded


And of course the hatch




Huh? What's this... a hole in the trunk?


Ow yeah.. for these baby's... Like it or hate it


Finished after painting and stuff



At that time my car was valued at 15,500 euro.

[WhiteFinish]

After the painting job I went to live in San Diego for a while so my project back in the Netherlands come to a pauze.

Of course living in the US has its advantages so parts collecting started.
Walbro fuelpomp



Thermal spacers


MSD window switches for vris control


Magnecor leads


Millenia alternator


Aasco 9lb fly


Clutch line


And some laughing stuff



Back in the Netherlands all those things had to be installed of course.
When taking the clutch off for the flywheel it appeard the clutch was already smoked !!
The MF>LKJ sold me cheap *ss ebay clutch that was worn out within 1,5 year /25k.

So the ClutchMasters stage 3 had to take it's place and be resistant enough against the nitrous vailance.

Then I did some more wiring stuff






some separte fuseboxes for aftermarket stuff






Bought a rear seat of the second gen (like it better)




Put a different testpipe under the car


Bought a SRD ebrake cover ~ and redid the armrest


Then I bought some seats Which are sooooo good



And started working on my intake manifold













Which now is bling bling



Fixing the stupid throttle leaver



Installing my AST coilover set (bought 2nd hand, because new they are like 1700/2000 euro!! )








Some believe in it, others don´t. A cyclone for the intake



And some random pictures

[WhiteFinish]

And, last for now.. the stuff laying around

Installed but not properly secured yet.



Oil cooler




Doorhandles


Motormounts



Slimfans on radiator


SRD crossmember ~tybar(reproduction)


Whiteline swaybar (bought for 30 euro hahah)


mx3 engraved



Reverse glow gauges.. haven´t decided what to do with them yet


Big spoiler



B_M shifter




Megasquirt installing which is a b..ch





And it still doesnt run good.

I´ve tried to reburn the firmware which was a fail.
My megasquirt and laptop can´t seem to communicate properly.


Anyway, more stuff

5th gear mx6


Pacesetter headers


Interprep spings ~DE retainers



Colt cams trioflow & racegrind




But... now i´m stuck. I moved about 3 months ago and I can´t find a place to put the car in the garage and work on it.
So, still waiting untill i found something good.

[johnmx3ze]

[AaronTietje]

Wow, now thats a ton of work. Great car-I like it.

I must say tho that my fav. pic is the one with the 2fast 2furious sticker .

[Nd4SpdSe]

Who makes/where did you get the AF gauge?

[-eunos-]

Looooove this thread. soo much WIN!

[Mooneggs]

glad to see you finally decided to make a worklog! I really like your car robert! A lot of thought has gone into how you have built it.

[WhiteFinish]

Thanks guys

The gauge is a narrowband af meter. The brand is SmokeLensMeter.
But this one is sold, I have the Aem wb

[WhiteFinish]

Thanks to Mark got some more parts.

The doorhandles came in but there is a pic in a post above


TB kit.


And a new oil pump, Melling.

[Sisko182]

The car looks awesome! I must say... i'm so glad you got rid of those racing flags on the sides of the car.

[WhiteFinish]

Today, with some help of a forummember of the Netherlands, we put in the radiator with the slimfans and the front crossmember.

The tiebar and swaybar were hard to reach and unbolt so that will be done when the Pacesetter headers will be put on.

[WhiteFinish]

Finally got my car to my city.

It was at a garage for 7 weeks, and still nothing was done !!
I was fed up with it and had to take it home on a trailer. (which almost cost my my rearbumper and exhaust because it was too low).

Anyway; finally got around to work on it a bit.

Installed the doorhandles and I love it
