Hmmm suppose to be putting car together, but all ive been doing is pulling more off it.

Did few things on the weekend...

Pulled off the throttle body, removed the coolant lines and caped

Pulled out that part of the wiring loom, cut off diag port and boost sensor wires, using few of them for extra fan wiring and extra sensors

Pulled off the fuel rail and injectors (being cleaned at the moment)

Pulled off the intake manafold for a clean (sandblast)

Pulled off TVIS for a clean

Pulled off alternator for a clean and had it rebuild already, new bearings, brushes ect (thanks to andy (brother) and dad who are auto elecs)

All that area was a pile of mud, from when that side of the valve cover gasket gave way year or so ago and dumped all my oil all on the intake, fuel rail, alternator ect.

Pulled all the remaining intercooler pipes off

Put on that intercooler shroud from James

Cleaned the hot pipe and bracket

measures for wheels

ORDERED WHEELS!!!, centre caps, light lug nuts and hub rings

wheels are being made up and wont be here till atleast end of august

Ordered new gaskets from toyota, tb inlet to tb, tb to manafold, manafold to tvis, tvis to head and isc gasket and new decal for on top of manafold... there ringing me back hmmm



Not yet drivable! (before alternator and area was cleaned)
