Today... I spent money. Its my birthday so the car gets parts. Strange how that works..
One tilton oil pump, pre-cooler filter, some fittings, compression tester and weld in bungs are now on their way from the land of the free to me. Should sort my oil cooling out once I place the cooler and fit it all up. Just need to redesign the oil pan and get it made/modded before it all arrives.

Finaly finished wiring under the driver side dash. Now boost controler trigger is confirmed to work, and the IC sprayer "works". Now to finish wirring the afr in then just wait on turbo stuff

I had four oil filters and two brake hoses turn up on Friday thanks to Mark. Sadly, rain has meant I can't fit them

Pulled Corolla off lawn.

Idle on the piss.

Appears ISC has packed a sad. So I guess I figure out how to clean one of those, or find a replacement (5AFE AE110)

Removed the lower control arm from the Mitsi. Looks like it was bent ex-japan has a yellow mark where the wrinkle is, which I assume is from an inspection.

For 5 bolts there was a lot of swearing!

On the 5A-FE just remove the throttle body and unscrew the four screws underneath to clean out the ISCV (put a lot of pressure on the screws when undoing them though because they're easy to strip). Some people just squirt degreaser from inside the throttle body without removing it but I always preferred to clean it properly.

Took apart an A340e gearbox, looked pretty good inside, could still read all the writing on the frictions. Now to clean and see if my extra strong rebuild kit fits

I helped do some work on this "interesting" Altezza. I should really get my own car...

Discovered the crown likes to flash fault codes when its bored

Started assembling the fuel system for the rebuilt motor and discovered..
$400 of AN fittings is not a lot of fittings...
That I forgot to order one rather important one.. and ordered another one wrong (female on run instead of female on side branch)

And drilled one out for more flow.. silly 3mm hole in a -6 to m10 adapter wasn't going to cut it. 6mm should do it.\

Add an oil cooler and some mountings and the oil cooling will be sorted too.

after a year of putting it of l finally bought a battery for Crown.

Finally got around to replacing the park lights with my Spree LED kit ones.

Thinking of getting brighter headlight bulbs aswell, the H1's are just too weak in the low beam projectors.

The new and the old
