The New 2 :)

So, after my disaster with the bigends on my rev 1 , I bought another rev 2 turbo for the engine and gearbox, started to strip it down and remove the engine and gearbox and realised that I was making a mistake, the old 2 wasnt as nice as this one. So ive swapped all the best bits between the two cars to make one really neat car. Still got work to do but shes pretty solid now, recieved lots of care and attention.

The donor was cheap as it needed alot of service work doing to it, Cambelt service 40,000 miles overdue was the worst!. But various electrical sensors needed replacing. But I had 90% from my other car :)

There were various car park scrapes to it, but the important thing was that it appeared to have never been apart, and was extremely straight other then the little dinks.

Cambelt was a pig to do, no wonder toyota recommend engine out! it took 10 hours start to finish, the working out in what order things have to be removed was the worst bit, I think I could do another in 6 hours.

Swapped the nasty exhaust it came with for the powerflow I have, took way longer then I expected, nearly 6 hours

Swapped various body panels, with niallis's help :D

Now I just need to get to work on the paint, it has etched water marks all over it, so it needs a good something anyway!. I also need to refurb the wheels.

Anyway to the pictures! Need to use a better camera and retire my old useless one.

Naka, what kind of exhaust do you like, It had a pair of 4 inch jap cans on there, they just screamed for police attention. Ive gone for the stealth approach;).

Yeah benny Nur specs rule but very loud. Motoria is a good choice mate. Deep and low but not too loud. I had a custom powerflow one with 5 inch cans but smaller pipe work which was almost silent. Looked amazing.
