    You are a man (or woman) after my own heart. OEM spec classics are more unique and desirable then some Kitted out b@stardised wreck. Your GT is mint from what i can see, a lovely example, well done.
    My personal want is a 300zx twin turbo completely origional, wheels, interior, the lot. One day......

    Thanks for the comments lads .. Yeah they are quirky extras they have for the starlet i was amazed when i first saw what can be got for it and knew I'd have to get them all but Iv still plenty more to get still which are near impossible to get but I'll get them all

    Here's a picture of the front clean box opened up

    Here's a picture of inside the arm rest with more slots for change

    If Ya dig them up I'll take them off you Davy that'd be super id live to have a few of them

    Os there a specific site your sourcing the OEM extras? Amongst my fleet is a '95 Primera SRi that is so close to original but missing some small bits. Unfortunately the original SRi alloys are rarer then hen's teeth but I'd love to source some other original bits. Cheers

    I know a few people in Japan that can source me all these parts there pretty hard got some are near impossible to get itl take years to get .. I had the same problem with these wheels took the guts of 5 or 6 years non stop searching to get a set that need a spray nd were quite expensive too but so worth it

    Got myself more toyota goodies today .. Bought cat studs and nuts and bought a 5ltr bottle of Coolant for when I change my turbo on Sunday .. Also bought a manifold heat shield so that will tidy up the engine bay a nice bit I'll polish it up before I put it on and get new bolts .. Can't put new parts on with old nuts and bolts

    I'd love to see some a bit of a video tour of the car, OEM builds are really cool.


  • Registered Users Posts: 314 ✭✭Darraghmh91.


    I will when I'm happy with the car I'll get a video guided tour of it with the oem exhaust and stuff on it and the oem radio aswell with another few extras


  • Registered Users Posts: 314 ✭✭Darraghmh91.


    So after a lot of elbow grease and smokes my manifold heat shield now looks like this .. Well worth the effort I think took hours to do but really happy with it now .. What you all think

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,607 ✭✭✭toastedpickles

    Fair play!


  • Registered Users Posts: 314 ✭✭Darraghmh91.


    Cheers man have more stuff to polish up when they arrive too .. Takes a long time but well worth it

    I'm hopin to have a few more optional extras comin soon too


  • Registered Users Posts: 314 ✭✭Darraghmh91.

    175F8BAB-DD68-4E9F-A1A3-577B042E05BC_zps0jmuntxv.jpg

    The yellow pipes have to go there such an eye sorer so I'll be goin toyota and buying all new ones that were on the car as standard .. Just need money as Iv so much other stuff to get from toyota


    B3EE2658-B189-4755-A288-2445746847E3_zpsfczufv9q.jpg

    Air box bracket is wreckin my head so ill have to spray that up soon and get a new bolt for it

    ABD4B550-B56E-4BDE-98E0-09C3C5A88477_zpsrsotizhi.jpg

    The pipe coming from turbo to air box had no sticker so need a new pipe and its discontinued from toyota

    64E9ECB7-B996-493A-9789-E73B48A835C6_zpsxtbpa6li.jpg

    Cat is lookin shabby so Im gonna get a new one later on down the line and spray it up with heat resistant paint and get new shields for it from Toyota and polish them up

    389FFCCC-628F-443A-A69F-060A88E3D71A_zpsyzq7zf7v.jpg

    Car went to mechanic as it wasn't starting at all it wasn't even crankin so hot the loom takin out and repaired and got it started but sounded horribal like a really bad 4 stroke bike so we think the timing is retarted due to running high boost on the turbo so standard turbo back in it now and lookin for a standard actuator now and also found a leak in the rad so new one is on order with new brackets and bolts
