as of yesterday, the Magistrate gave me a 3 month holiday from driving, so it will allow me enough time to do some more mods :)

No amount of drugs can make you good at that.

exactly, these professsional cyclists who compete in the Tour de France, and other major cycling opens across Europe, they devote their live's to train atleast 6 hours a day almost through the entire whole week..

Im talking from experience because i use to do competetive cycling as a junior for 5 years.. but im too unfit at the moment to bother doing the sport.

New bling factor!! Purchased and fitted PROJECTA battery terminals in brass

And have bought some new toys which are yet to be fitted to my seca very soon

Whiteline adjustable front & rear sway bars

4-2-1 flange mild steel extractors

X-force twin twip muffler

And spent some time yesterday installing new wiring for my system, purchased a Sony 4 guage wiring kit with RCA wires from Strathfield.

Ran the wiring underneath the interior from the sides of the car, leading to the back of the boot area where the amps will be mounted behind the rear seats.

Ripped out the old dash and fitted my new one..

Notice the difference from when the previous owner hacked out the air-con vents to fit the lcd screen into such an unusal place..

And instead the fold-out Lcd is re-located into a din slot, with the head-unit to be fitted above it, or viser-versa depending how it will look.

Havent quite finished the task, I still need to run the wiring to the doors to run the splits on each door. Then i shall plug in the dvd head-unit to see if it still works because it hasnt been working in a while.. still not quite sure if its blown or not.. but the old wiring done to the system by the previous owner of the car was dodgy.

spent some time constructing a false floor for the boot area. I used particle wood, 16mm thickness to construct this.

First I made a template of the boot area with cardboard and paper, it was very difficult and time consuming because I had to make the template the almost to the right size of the curves of the plastic boot garnish.

Then I used the template to trace onto the wood with a texta.

After tracing the design it was then time to use the jig-saw to the design, this is what it looked like after.

Then it was time to test-fit the false floor in the boot, but it seemed very difficult with the curves to actually fit the whole one piece into the boot. So I then cut a line in the middle of it to form to separate pieces which was easier to lay across the boot.

After being able to fit the two pieces into the boot all I had to do was sand the areas to accommodate the curves parts of the boot garnish, so job completed!!

Purchased Autic Xenon h4 halogen lamps 60/55w

These are noticeably brighter and emit a whiter light, no longer the normal yellow light, as pictured below, but pictures weren't very well taken..

Have started re-doing my boot in preparation for a custom boot install..

Firstly i have stripped pretty much almost the whole boot area and removed the rear seats, the car is temporarily a two seater at the moment..

First i started off by scraping off the grime and filthy s##t out of the area, then applied Rust convertor to cover the area to prevent further rust occuring.

Then applied Primer/Filler; pre-paint treatment

Then applied WATTYL branded Killrust Epoxy Gloss Enamel paint. I prefered to paint the area instead of using super enamel spray paint because of the fumes it would go all over the interior.

And now finished. This is not intended for show-purposes because I will be having false floor covering the boot area, but just to eliminate further rust and grime.

During the past week I have removed my stock piping and muffler. It is now fitted with 2" piping from the cat then flowing to a resonator, then 2" flowing back to the muffler. Pictured below as you can see the press bend hanging fairly low but not scraping the ground as it originally was.

And now fitted with a twin-tip muffler (pictured below), but deciding whether i should keep the muffler or not because im not really fond of the sound.

UPDATE

Purchased from the wreckers the plastics to cover the whole boot area (as pictured), I will be respraying these when I start my custom boot install. My existing boot plastics are in very poor condition with cracks..

Purchased directly from Toyota a new Insulator (Right-side engine mount), my existing one has... umm snapped!!

Purchased a set of Momo pedals from Autojoy Parramatta, removed the crappy plastic factory pedals and install these new pedals..

Purchased the plastic's to cover underneath towards the fuse area.

and plastics over here (dont know what they're meant to be named), existing plastics were cracked and s##t..

Purchased a new SAAS gearknob in red & Momo gear boot from Autojoy Parramatta..

Purchased a new Oil catch-can from Autojoy Parramatta, the hosing that came with it looked s##t (a see-through garden hose) so made my own hose in red and installed it (as pictured), felt the car pickup a bit better once i installed the oil catch-can.

And removed the factory windscreen washer hoses and made my own in red..

whoa ! nice ae92. looks great.

are you running a bigport or a smallport ?

i noticed it says you have bluetop cams.. so im thinking you have like me a smallport with the the 242 cams from a bigport rather than the 232s that come with the smallport.... smallport with bigport cams = cool :P

yeh it’s a 4age smallport, with jap spec ecu (not much difference compared to aus spec ecu) running on the bigport (bluetop) cams for bigger lift and duration..
