Updates:
Gen 3 map sensor arrived finally. Got that installed and confirmed fueling was correct.
Turned boost up from 7psi to 15psi. Big difference man, the little car hauls arse now!
The radiator top plastic trim and engine bay fuse box lid arrived from the UK so I fitted those.
Fixed the wiring to the dash check engine light.
Replaced most of the small vacuum hoses with new stuff.
Ordered a used front right front lip/spoiler section, wiper arms/blades, rear strut covers and a front fuse box cover from the UK.
Ordered new ignition components from twosrus. Dizzy cap, rotor and denso spark plug leads (Already changed the plugs)
Also ordered new T-top door seals from Kbox.
Had a good quality insurance approved alarm installed this morning. I can finally stop opening the doors with the key! :) If anyone is looking to have any auto security installed I would highly recommend Daniel from Carbon Car Systems.
http://www.carboncarsystems.com.au/ He did my last MR2 and now this new one so he is experienced in SW20 and AW11 :)
To do list:
Wheels/Tyres (I want Jap rims but don't have the budget for them atm so MR2 spyder wheels will do for now if I can find a set)
Replace all four spreakers (Not a high priority as I now listen to the turbo at 15psi right behind my head :)
Install ST205 alternator brackets and relocate Alt to the celica position. Alt is occasionaly hitting the frame rail which bothers me.
Install ignition component when they arrive to get engine into a better state of tune and humming along. (On the current dizzy cap you can't even see two of the terminals they are so worn away! They are past flush with the plastic haha)
Fix two oil leaks from the pan and one from a leaky driveshaft seal.
Overall the car is running okay, still seems a bit rich during idle and has a slight hesitation transitioning to boost. Judging on the way the motor was connected by the previous owner I'm thinking the timing might be off. Will check that on the weekend.
