Ok, I FINALLY gt the pictures uploaded and resized. This will give you guys an idea of some of the stuff I have done.
Painted the block cast iron before we put it in.
The new clutch
Isn't it cute... "Anything more than a handful is a waste." LOL
The resurfaced flywheel
New flywheel bolts
The CNC'd Delrin manual rack adapter bushing
Custom waterline relocation kit. Unfortunatly I forgot to take pictures when I installed it on the back of the motor. And I learned to only put plugs into the two 90 degree outlets. If you try to put a sensor in one, it will hit the firewall... don't ask how I know this..... And in the last pictures you will see where I assembled the kit together with the gaskets and sealant, I did remove the excess sealant before I installed it on the motor. The big gasket I made goes between the kit and the block. I made some custom caps and put a few pounds of pressure into the coolant passages of the block with my air compressor. No leaks. Woohoo.
Did some cosmetic stuff to the car just for the hell of it. I painted the faded bumper trim and stuff. The bumpers will eventually be replaced by factory Japanese Kouki bumpers... Notice I didn't say JDM bumpers.... cause... well... the phrase JDM is a little over played..... doesn't make the stuff any more important to me.... plus I have enough ploblems with the price of AE86 parts thanks to ricers and that damn Initial D tax they add to all things associated with the AE86 designation.... lol
BEFORE
AFTER
I also painted the Celica-Supra wheels as mentioned in my first post
The knock off tach I got for $25... The stock SR5 tach stops at 8K.... My motor goes to 8.8K.... So it will do for now.
And last but not least... The car as it sits now.... I know.... "LOWER THE DAMN THING!" that's what I always hear. And I always reply, "In due time."
Thanks for looking. Hopefully I will update again soon, and thanks for all the positive feedback.
