OMG... i think TRD should be spelled SEX. cause this is DOPE!

Mark_Dorman · 04-23-2009, 11:54 AM

Did you use a stencil for the calipers or a brake sticker?

Got a guy in the mr2 oc to have them laser cut for me

First off, thanks for showing us your legendary car and project in detail. Second, did you have any updates on the covered dash? Finally, did you decide to go with the TRD shift knob only or do you plan on putting in a TRD short shifter?

Thanks,

Micah

Mark_Dorman · 04-24-2009, 12:13 PM

I vote genuine TRD short shifter...

+1 on what's going on with the dash...

Thanks for your kind comments dude ,enjoyed every minute restoring the car and its 99% finished.I managed to source a TRD gear knob but it hits the shoulder of the short shifterbefore it enters the threaded part ,i have thought of a way to over come this by making a 12 mm threaded collar which i will glue in place,just hope this does the job,still undecided on the dash but will keep you all updated.

Well the car went back on the rollers yesterday to see if this baby would break the 200 barrier and i was robbed by 2.7 bhp,i was still impressed with the figures so can't grumble.I suppose with the big wheels i have on the back doesn't help so i'm thinking of doing the next run with stock wheels on so i'm sure i can claw back 2.7 bhp will have to wait and see.

countyboy3188 · 04-27-2009, 03:26 PM

Not bad at all for a 3sge. Im really impressed. This whole project has been something i have been following for a while man. Keep up the good work.

Recklesss · 04-27-2009, 05:30 PM

haha! if i were that close, I would just say its 200hp. 3hp difference is so marginal.

shoot, a 3hp upgrade might involve a "Vtec kicked in yo!" sticker

TOPGUN · 04-27-2009, 06:00 PM

Well if i wasn't running big fat ass wheels on the rear maybee i could free up a few horses by running stock wheels just for the power run lol

TOPGUN · 04-27-2009, 06:00 PM

Silicone hoses turned up today so next job on the list is to fit my newApexi induction kit with custom made intake pipe.
