Ahhh haha yeah it will be faaaar cleaner come spring once I have everything installed and the car painted. I'm painting the bay the color I'm painting the body so it will be all pretty and shiny too. haha

MR2_Josh · 10-19-2009, 10:49 PM

My camera's battery is dead and I can't find the charger so for now I have ****ty cell pics...they are really crappy because of the lighting but oh well

Anyway, The rear portion of the underbody is all painted and coated now. The rear gaurd I bent back down to do the work and then bent it back up.

I laid out all of the brake items just to get a pic of everything. I didn't have a lot of time tonight to do much so I didn't get them installed yet but should by friday hopefully.

I have all of the hubs reassembled with all new wheel bearings and seals from Toyota and they were powder coated as I showed earlier. Just have them mounted up on the coilovers with the crash bolts.

Rears

Fronts

hopefully picking up the head tomorrow.

MR2_Josh · 10-20-2009, 11:25 PM

A couple teasers.

Didn't want to remove it from the plastic until I'm ready to mount it on the engine. Details are....1mm oversized Ferrea valves intake and exhaust, 10.5mm lift 268 duration cams, Crower titanium retainers, engle valve springs, 3 angle valve job, bowl blended, smoothed intake and exhaust ports, polished combustion chamber, all exhaust studs were time-serted.

MR2_Josh · 10-22-2009, 06:11 PM

^Yeah I'm kinda the same way. Right now I will only drive it on sunny days with no chance of rain in sight etc.

haha, yeah I pressed the fitting out and welded it shut and smoothed it over. I will get pics of it next week some time.

Assembly pics, more to come today and tomorrow as well since Ihave the two days off and it's raining.

L19's

MR2_Josh · 10-22-2009, 06:11 PM

Closer pics of the head (Details are....1mm oversized Ferrea valves intake and exhaust, 10.5mm lift 268 duration cams, 1zz shimless buckets, Crower titanium retainers, engle valve springs, 3 angle valve job, bowl blended, smoothed intake and exhaust ports, polished combustion chamber, all exhaust studs were time-serted.)

Assembled, head tq'd to 75 foot pounds using a progressive sequence of 25 then 50 then 75. I then backed off one nut at a time reseated the stud and retorqued them to 75ft lbs 2 more times.

MR2_Josh · 10-23-2009, 09:01 AM

Brakes are on, control arms bolted up, and Xmember in so I can put the wheels on and move the car. As I was suspecting, my front wheels don't fit but it will be cured once I receive the spacers. This spring I am most likely getting a new set of rims.

This is a set of wheels that I have in my shop that are a friend of mine's that I just threw on to see what they look like behind a wheel.

MR2_Josh · 10-23-2009, 08:24 PM

Not much for pictures from today because mainly I was doing small stuff but I put the manifold on and turbo with the wastegate to see what it looks like. Needless to say....I'm very excited! haha I dd have o cut the vband flange off for the wastegate that was on the manifold as it was a generic vband and did not work with the tial. Luckily I had a weld on flange that came with my 44mm so I cut the old flange off and mig'd the new one on today and fits like a glove.

Ignore the valve cover on the engine, it's just used to keep stuff outta the engine.

r0y6989 · 10-24-2009, 11:43 PM

lookin good man can't wait till she's fired upppppp

MR2_Josh · 10-25-2009, 12:14 AM

Thanks man! I'm veeerrryy anxious to fire it up! hah

Did some more small stuff today, installed all of the timing side and set timing dead on with the Greddy t-belt and all new pullies, etc. Just threw the downpipe on and the injectors and fuel rail. Also got the new transmission ready to be mounted and put the new from the dealer speedo sensor assembly.

LeePeyton · 10-25-2009, 06:18 AM

WOW! dude. "jizz in my pants"

very nice man. where did you get the intake manifold?

ice_mr2turbo · 10-25-2009, 09:05 AM

crazy as allways, looking good, look forward to see this finished

YELLOW_MR2 · 10-25-2009, 01:11 PM

Man that all looks freaking crazy, IT"S AWSOME. I'm subscribed!

da_force · 10-25-2009, 04:02 PM

Love every pic you take!

That's a big ass turbocharger

You are doing it right, just as an 2 deserves!

MR2_Josh · 10-25-2009, 11:09 PM

haha thanks guys! The manifold is being fabricated by ATSMATT/Dedicated-Matt (not sure what his screen name is on this board). He's making my IC piping as well.

If everything goes right, I should have the engine in the car by the end of Saturday.
