trial fitted the seats, both clear the cage....well just touch against it but it's enough that they will still move on the rails
it's ridiculous the difference in height with the bride low rail compared to the recaro rail on the passenger side
will be looking for a bride low rail for passenger side in near future!!
made holes for the rear harness mounts so the harness eye hook's are all fitted
I NEED CAGE PADDING NEXT!
i've taken off the intercooler brackets and will be modifying them as the core sits too far over at one side, plus will mean i can get the bottom pulled in more so i won't have to modify as much of the bumper to fit!
got an order through from driftworks over the holidays, tein track rods and ends with spacer, kinked tension rods, t shirt and offset spacer boots however i'm going modified crossmember if i can
made myself a pipe beader for intercooler pipes, seen this idea online so made my own, it's just an old pair of vise grips with a 70mm exhaust clamp and a smaller 40mm clamp bar welded on
works perfect
last few bits from toyota arrived, thermostat, jzx90 dipstick tube, p/s pipe washers
replaced every vacuum pipe on the engine, also removed the pipework for the carbon cannister crap, also fitted an mbc at the turbo's to do me till i get an electronic one
old crap
i've ran a wire into cabin for water temp gauge tucked along the spark plug loom along with a vacuum pipe for greddy gauge, tested my water temp gauge with sensor in a cup of boiling water and got no reading, gauge is either dead or sensor is broken so i'm waiting to hear back from ebay seller now.....
replaced the thermostat, purely just for peace of mind, no idea how old it is/if it worked,
fitted a genuine toyota 82 degrees one
changing it was crap, should have done this when the engine was out on a stand!!
gapped plugs to 0.028 and fitted them, wrapped some insulating tape around the coils while they were out, should really have used heatshrink but had none with me
fitted them and as usual with jz's 5/6 of my coil pack clips were broken haha, need some new ones!
have done a few other things on the list! throttle cable is now secured into the pedal and i've adjusted the cable at the throttle body so it's shut when pedal is untouched and fully open when pedal is flat to the floor
