Heyo, some of you might remember my Brown KE20 restoration, its finished and i traded it for this shitty supra... 2JZGE, s13 front suspension with coilovers and thats about it wiring was a mess, here i have cleaned the whole enginebay, painted the camcovers and claned the wiring a bit, you can see the ecu laying in the engine bay... good... parts... a month after i got it it spun a rod bearing, turns out the engine was really unhealthy, all the pistons was full of some stuff, i think its been runing on the cold start alot of the time or something.. the day before the engine started knocking ohh and did i mention rust.. since the engine was down i decided to fix the rust i think you get the idea... it was rusty.. now its almost fixed everywhere watanabes gigantic exhaust haha time for the engine... here is the pistons... going tubo instead... so i got hold of a Volvo turbo from a dumper/excevator or something like that, turbo manifold, new rods, gte pistons, triggerwheel/campulley for gte, adaptronic engine management and alot of other parts.. my turbo besides my brothers CA18DET T25 turbo fenderflares from a p type test fitting everything this is how far i'v gotten... got a little video of it while it was running, only had it for a month before it broke... I'm really bissy with work rigth now so progress will be slow, i'v got the whole winter off so i got plenty of time then... gathering parts and money now...

Well, 6months later, its all the same. Now its winter I can see the temp runs just below the "T", where a 4K runs, and the thermostat won't let it go below that. The usual temp of running under the "E" is showing the stock rad can't quite keep it down in summer. I was going to historic rego one of them, but we're driving both as dailys until the wife finds a T31 X-Trail. So it was back up to the Woolshed in the blue Beast a fortnight back. First up was tree trimming so it didn't get the roof scratched heading for my parking spot on the verandah! Well, one tree got trimmed down to ground level & maybe the other will grow properly now. Then it was onto caravan work! Steve bought a 'van as he is determined to move out of living with his Dad, he'd rather be up at the Woolshed. That idea lasted 5minutes until he started demolishing it inside because it was too small.. I'll stick that story in the rally car thread! ..and we had a Woolshed rallying bacon & egg pie to get started! After a week and a half up there I headed back to Orange, running a neat 6.8L/100km at 110kph. Just like the KE70 they should have released in 1980 !!
