After seeing Tigawoods red roof lining, I've got my roof lining stripped out to do something similar, I have a roll of red acrylic felt and am wanting to have TTE// down the middle instead of bride.

Maybe at a later stage a roll cage would be awesome, with a camera bar up top like Tufy's.

Work in progress...

Would you mind telling me which glue you used for those door inserts Mike?

CRC Ados F2 in a Tube for the door cards, and CRC Ados F2 spray for the roof liner.

that roof is seriously messed up, on a good way!

>

Not sold here......I appreciate it though. Did you remove the vinyl or are the inserts applied over the top?

>

Just the fabric.

Any multi purpose adhesive for leather, fabric, etc will do, I use Ados F2 because it's industrial strength, it will never peel like the factory stuff

Well, reason I ask is because I bought 3M adhesive specially made for vinyl applications. However, the insert starting peeling off when I stood the panel back up for a while, even after I had let the glue cure for 30 minutes. It's possible that I didn't use enough, but I won't find out because I returned the stuff already - 12 bucks per can.

Thanks though...

Nah this stuff I use cures in 5 minutes, have to be really careful, if you slip you f**k it up permanently lol.

You might have a US equiv to Ados F2 in another brand, Check your hardware store for a brand you trust, something used in the trade industry.

Recent updates...

HKS Bov and Sony mp3 cd player.

It seems as though some turbo lag has gone away with the HKS Bov, perhaps the factory valve is slightly leaky?

nice upgrade on the BOV, after a while I'd recommend changing the fin to the purple or gold. example by brothers old s14a had the HKS BOV, except pretty everyone else in the area had either a hks or hks style, so all the turbo'd cars made the same sound. So he changed the fin to be a bit different.

Hello delusionz great looking car.
I want to ask you about your front lip.
When you install it you needed any mods to it so it can fit on your gt4 bumper or it fit just easy as it will fit on a standard celica bumper?
Because the gt4 bumper is a little longer than the gt bumper.

marinos the tom's lip doesnt fit very well, its ugly infact i've ditched it.

Anyways it's been a while since the last update, alot has changed.

Toyo Proxes T1R 225/50ZR16 tyres

Removed Tom's lip

Removed spoiler

Rebuilt clutch master cylender

Replaced radiator cap (again, seals warped)

BC coilovers welded with the superstrut bottom ends and installed

Cambelt, waterpump & tensioner pulleys changed

RH CV Boot replaced

LH Superstrut arm replaced

RPM HD clamping kit with full face clutch installed

TTT custom made 3" downpipe & exhaust system

Nolathane engine mounts

G-racing 15mm rear wheel spacers 5x100 1.5P

timing was out by 3 deg so reset to 10 deg

shifter cables push line broke, replaced with identical item from st202. while were at it, i got a chance to grind 25mm off the top of the shift lever while the shifter assembly was out.

alternator died, replaced with item from st202 3s-ge as this was all that was available.

hks evc boost controller to try and help with the boost curve

got sick of silver painted trims so replaced with stock black trims

Having some engine/turbo trouble now so car is in mechanic getting tested so in the mean time, Been doing some shopping for a few bits and pieces to fix up the rest of the car.





The purple thing is a "manifold vacuum distributor" which is exactly what the name implys, will mount this on the firewall. figured since I have a spare port on the manifold from bypassing the pcv system and I have several T-pieces for my boost controller and boost gauge, why not eh?







Still have a driver seat to come, 7th gen short shifter, TRD duracon knob, IC pump and level sensor, 6 mini t-bolts for the rad hose, and more


And the latest picture of the engine bay (subject to change, very soon)

nice bit of shopping there

Update

Recently (as in my other threads) my engine overheated, after this I did an overhaul of the cooling system including system flush and heater core flush, replacement of t-stat and rad cap with TRD items and replacement of burst upper hose with blue silicone rad hose set.

After bleeding (or burping) the system at operating temperature (which is now lower due to the TRD t-stat but fluctuates between the new lower temp and the normal temp) I took the car for a hard drive, everything seemed to go fine but soon after the engine started smoking as seen here.

Well after scratching my head and scratching my balls for weeks I decided to drop it into my engineer's shop.

Compression test came up 180,170,170,180 which isn't great, but atleast consistent and tends to rule out the 1 popped water jacket in 1 cylender theory

And a hydrocarbon test in the radiator came up negative so that tends to back up the compression test evidence, so now we conclude (at a guess still) that I have leaking turbo seals.

As this is the 2nd CT to have failed on me, we have decided to go a drastically different route,

The plan

Old ------------> New
CT26 hybrid turbo -> Garrett GT2871RS with the 0.64a/r rear housing
Gen 3 manifold -> New Custom steampipe 3S-GTE - T28 manifold with 44mm V-Band port
Custom 3" DP -> New custom 3" T28 downpipe with 44mm return port

Factory IC will be retained, an icebox will later be plumbed into the system for racing.
Braided teflon oil and coolant hose lines will be made.
Battery will be moved to the boot.
A custom intake and cold air box will be made up.


The choice of turbo was made after much discussion and debate here is what we concluded the GT2860RS Disco Potato would be a downgrade to the CT20b, the 2876RS with it's 4" intake would spool up way too late for my needs so that leaves us with 2871 in the middle ground.

We have decided to add either 38mm or 44mm (I think 44mm will be best) external wastegate ports with blockoff plates for now and just see how the internal gate plays ball, as we can always add a Tial later on and tack up the internal.

Also considering ditching the SSQV bov for a Greddy Type RS plumb back.

Just turned up in the mail

6x T-Bar clamps 1.5" for the radiator

Thought I'd pull one out and test fit it.





They are Turbonetics brand

Awesome updates man! Can't wait for the new turbo setup!

Dude the red interior upgrade looks sickkkk esp on the door panels with the white celica. Looks good my dude!

Received Garrett GT2860RS turbo last week and the flanges and fittings.

Went down to the engineer today to see the progress on my manifold, wish I took a camera

Also fitted 1998 late spec High Beams, Couldnt get the bumper to line up like factory again though, It's that bottom screw on each side, on the left hand side I cant get it to sit flush in the recess where you screw it in, it's not noticible unless your looking under the car. Kind of annoying though. There's also a prang in my factory crash support??? Previous owner lied!

Will bring a camera tomorrow. The GT28 is a tiny little thing!!!

Awaiting fitment of new manifold and turbo


Garrett GT28RS Disco Potato


New intercooler water pump


Late-spec high beams installed


As it stands

looking good, just need the outer low beams now

Getting close to D-Day

Intercooler waterpump installed today
Intercooler pipe made with nipple for wastegate feed
Battery mounted in boot and wired up

I ended up choosing the GT28RS Disco Potato as it should be a close match for factory fuelling, except with awesome spoolup. *fingers crossed on that one*

I have sent the new custom steampipe tig welded T28 manifold and downpipe along with the turbine housing to get ceramic coated, once they return and are mounted to my engine the intake pipe can be made and a new exhaust made up where i scraped my old muffler.

I also found a HKS SSQV plumb back adaptor to plumb the BOV back into the custom intake pipe. Waaaaaa tutututu lol
