As we all drive the same car shouldn't be too difficult.
Unless you remove the seatbelts

It's a project that is an inspiration.
Also it not just a 2zz it's got a rotrex.

Agreed. Im hoping for a ride too!

No major developments, just keeping progress up to date.

Fitted new Mtec discs to the rear, fettled the pad carriers & painted them along with the calipers. Purchased new fixings from Mr2Ben & stainless banjo bolts for all 4 corners (Size is M10 x 1.0 if anyone is interested & bleed screws are M7 x 1.0)

Lightweight wing mirrors arrived last week. Just need to give some thought as to how I'm going to mount them, but I'll probably end up making some simple alu brackets with my limited fab'g skills.

Finished off the fuel tank this morning with some Gravitex stonechip, after welding up a few holes (ballache) & soaking it in phosphoric acid for a week Man that stuff doesn't half shift rust & grime!

Made a start on the engine mounts & received lovely bright yellow F & R polys from Lou at BRD earlier this week. Think I'll pour liquid 65A poly myself for the other 2.

Other than that, been generally faffing with the bodykit & trying to decide what size spacers to go for.

[J03]

Rear calipers mounted, everything torqued up & fuel tank painted. Just awaiting some Brembo pads + fitting clips & I couldn't resist ordering some tyres  NS-2R Street compound, 205 45 16 / 225 45 16.

Just need to fettle a pesky sheared bolt stopping me from fitting the X bracing, get the tank mounted & then I can finally take her off the stands. Hallebloodylujah.

Excellent work as ever.

We are going to see the car at some stage arent we?

Haha, hopefully she'll be on the road next year. Idea is to send it off to Se7en over the Winter for the loud stuff fitting, tweak the tune & then, weather dependent, hit the tarmac late Spring.

What's the deal with your ECU? Are sticking with apexi?
Also- are those adjustable drop links??
Love the pictures... It's so nice to see it all looking to clean and new...

The Apexi still has the Rotrex'd map from my old Celica on it, so in theory it'll make the car half drive-able. This means we can check the car over for any problems/issues beforehand & also means I'm not having to transport it everywhere. Idea is to eventually run the ECUMaster Black. As always, it's a balance between spending & replenishing pennies 

Yes they're adjustable links, front & rear.

Discs are MTEC dimpled & grooved with their silver corrosion coating.

Just been reading through your thread. Can you tell me which radiator you have used? Is it a Japspeed?
Cheers

I have a Japspeed not a straight swap needed fettling.
Much larger than stock.

[J03]

Don't think the same seller exists anymore, but it'll be equivalent to the below.

Not had a problem with fitting really, Iam using different lower bushings though (from a Mondeo, long story) so whether that means it sits slightly lower & clears the upper crossbar I'm not sure?

Rear end all but done, just pads to fit, underneath finished, petrol tank in & tyres on.
