You are doing a great job building up the corolla.
Question did you just hook up the tps? I have a extra one but I haven't put it in yet

Thanks. Yea I just hooked up a new tps.

AE86 Gauges. We forget how lucky we are to be looking at them and have them looking back at us ...sometimes.

Bought these yesterday and was told they were in working order. For the most part they were except for the left hand turn signal....
The exterior lights worked fine. But the green arrow circuit didn't. Bugged me big time...

Had to take all the gauges out and put them onto my good working zenki circuit board thing...

How it looks now. Nice kouki cluster. Real mileage (swapped odometer). Nicer tac.

New project to add to the list! Or... something to save for when needed. Bought from user chi-town

Smog is all done! Time to put some goodies back on. :lol:

What I did today:::

Took stock mani/downpipe out...

TRD 4-2-1 header and new Denso O2 sensor.

Got this too while at Autozone for a exhaust gasket...

I want to get the Injen system but haven't yet...

Putting this on soon. HKS Sport. Tried to get it mounted today but no time... Been running a 5Zigen Fireball catback system. I think it was made to fit by previous owner...
welded on muffler? iunno...but this is more stock looking.

STILL just hoarding parts.... no time.
These are carbonfibercollection's mini OEM-style CF mirrors in the shops section. Check em out.

Posted: **Fri Apr 26, 2013 8:36 pm**

Mirror test mounted............

Posted: **Sun May 05, 2013 9:52 pm**

oh weird, never seen those mirrors before, i dont know if i like em yet since im not use to seeing those. reminds me of a T-rex with tiny little arms

Posted: **Thu May 09, 2013 9:20 am**

Very nice! Your car is perfect

Why are all the hachis being hoarded in CA though?!

Posted: **Sun May 19, 2013 3:34 pm**

Thanks! The mirrors provide no function really. Just there for looks and weight. Can hardly see out of them the way they were designed...

Time for an update!

Installed some things that had been collecting dust.

BEFORE:

HKS 256/8mm on both cams

This crank pulley bolt was a pain in the ass to get out...

Had to go old style black ones

My spark plugs were in wrong

Dunno where my brain was....

AFTER:

Need to get rid of that clutch fan next......

UPDATES FROM THE GARAGE

4 links & panhard install:

Posted: **Wed Jul 31, 2013 3:07 pm**

Radiator/Fan install:

Had to cut down the lower right tab because it was too long.
Also had to dremel out the top right hole because it didn't line up well on the radiator.

You can see the gap on the lower right due to the lower tab being too long....

Just needs to be wired up now. Using a Derale fan relay kit with temp control from a probe that slides between fins.

Thanks man. It's workin out good so far.

Went for a drive today to test hose leak. Clamp was a little off before. All good now.

Sweet build! Does the Mishimoto rub against the Injen?

Yea it does. Had to use a dremel and grind out the inside "pipe stopper" rubber area so I could push the filter in further and clamp it down.

good stuff Mideng!

Good to know, thanks. I have the Injen and I've been thinking about a Mishimoto. Good thing I have a Dremel!

Are you running the hks cams at 0 degrees both or did you time the cams? How do they feel daily driving Im looking to pick up a pair for myself. Thanks!

Should've degreed the cams but didn't. Running at 0 with ~850 rpm idle cuz I have AC/PS. Any lower rpm and there's a bit more shaking of the car left and right than I like from engine shaking (stock ECU). Driving is just like normal and smooth but rev powerband is better higher up and pulls more... if that helps haha.

Looking good!

Update pics:
Lost my front plate a while back so NEW PLATES.

genuine TRD knob

Thought long and hard about changing the interior... Didn't need to be very practical since its not my daily...
Interior before:

Sold front seats!

Picked up some replica bride gias v2 from member stock4ag. with wedge engineering brackets.
The first "fake" part I've bought...
Makes me sad and happy at the same time. Lot of hate with fake stuff.
I can use them without caring as much about rips/wear down the line was my reasoning.
Better than stock, and pretty sturdy so far.

Great build man! just curious about your TRD header... I have the same one but need an EGR plug do you happen to know what size I would need???
