This was the car as of 2010:
The hood fell victim to to sun fade, VIS Racing replaced it with a carbon fiber oem style hood.
Around 2013 I also scored some used carbonfiber headlight covers and an East Bear replica lip to hold me over until I can afford to paint the car:
By 2014 I have started to accumulate a lot of parts and put them in.
So far I've basically been replacing wearing parts & sensors plus going BPU:
2JZ 440cc injectors
2JZ map sensor
2JZ water pump
Mishimoto electric fans & Aluminum radiator
Walbro 255 fuel pump
new timing belt/pcv
IAC block-off plate installed (oem bov deleted)
new igniter & coil pigtails replaced
Apexi air intake
AEM cam gears
Albert's steel c12a upgrades (gt2860rs comp. wheels)
Full 3" custom stainless steel x-pipe through downpipe back 4" titanium tip silenced
DM 3" IC kit w/ HKS bov & Aluminum pulley kit
Blitz Access ECU
Turbosmart e-boost controller
Tein Super Street Coilovers
ST Swaybars & bushings
new brake pad's (BBK next goal before power)
255/45/18zr for the rear
Beech short throw shifter
DM "stage 2" clutch
DM full tranny rebuild kit
The interior was also showing it's signs of aging so I refurbished the buckets, centre-console & both shift/e-brake boots, along with a TRD knob. Found a 300km/hr cluster from K's along with a full stereo upgrade.
*pictures to follow after gauges installed*
Ordered my aero after new years, took some time to piece it all together:
August 2015 finally recieved it back from the paint shop after adding the aero beginning of summer:
End of the year decided to take care of my burning oil issue (assumed from valves)
Got some pictures of my head back from the machine shop! Mild port & polish, Brian Crower 1.6mm over sized valves, BC springs & retainers. Ready for a new 2JZ head gasket of course.
Also heres a shot of Albert's rebuilt ct12a's on my new X-pipe, going to heat wrap it since I'm deleting factory heatshield.
I will post the rest of the updates once I've re-done my coils & pigtails along with a knock sensor I've managed to throw a code for trying to reach my goal of 18 lbs of boost on a Blitz access ecu.
