ok the pricing in AU for the seals/oring is a little different..
 
Distributor o ring  19115-14106   this part number is in correct maybe 90099-14090 $6.15Dist dust seal 19127-74040 $6.09Intake gasket #1 17177-88381  $16.01Intake gasket #2 17171-88381  $14.64Cam cover gasket 11213-88381 $37.36Cam cover gasket#2 11214-88381 $13.59 Now the next question is to do it myself.   I'm a bit concerned if the intake manifold gasket is leaking oil... I would have thought that there shouldn't have been much oil in the intake...
 
also is there such a thing as uprated gaskets for intake etc? (I'm running more boost)

another *fun* part of having a JDM toyota that was also sold locally -part numbers for the spare wheel retainer.  Apparently the rev 1 part is different to the rev 2 part... GRRRRRR annoying.
 
the apexi pod came today. so will hopefully fit that tonight, and also got the ssqv recirc adaptor which also should go in tonight. FINALLY the car is going to run reasonably right afm + atmos bov = fail.
 
properly mounted pod will also be less rattly.  Replaced the canoe clips on the pod gauge holder, now it feels SOLID :)  but I'm starting to think about if I really need the AFM - might move to a single pod now that no after market ECU...
 
but we'll see.

ok BOV is now recirculating :) - it's very quiet :( but the car runs much better-  MUCH more smooth especially on gear changes. FUNNY about that. 
 
In the process of fitting the Apexi pod that arrived I broke the overflow bottle port on the radiator filler neck. DOH. oh well it's an easy fix at least.

Long overdue update.
 
I moved into the city and haven't driven the car very much at all - it's been sitting at my dad's place, and driven once in a blue moon.
 
I've just accepted a Job offer overseas, and it's now time to sell the car.
 
I'll be putting up a for sale ad (hopefully) soon.

Boo!
 
Blast from the past!
 
Looks like my for sale thread on my wheels is long gone...
 
Came back to a car VERY covered in dust, charged the battery, started up no dramas after 640 days. Have to say, I love how reliable these cars are!  Ok maybe my battery is more than a bit screwed, but still impressive!

Guys, Car is for sale. Open to offers.
 
The last time I drove the car, I had an issue with steering - it's super heavy, and the battery is almost dead.
 
It's just costing me money in registration and is just sitting there, so it needs a new home.
 
Includes the Recaro seats that cost me $2400.  
 
As I'm currently living in the USA, PM or email only.  
 
 
 $3500 or best offer.
