@Sampath - Thanks mate. @Komi - haha don't get me started coz it is very tempting but i need to sort out a biggy of finding a right handside tail light coz a long time back a biker made sure of that need to fine tune everything n have the little things work perfectly...no point for now least to change something that already working, maybe if i come across one well why not right
-
Well...its not another TRD badge anymore...finally a piece foe perfection arrived
-
Thanks H.C its actually a cool thing to do...becomes apart of you at the end or family even... feels good to be appreciated after going through a freaking topsy turvy of emotions to get it all done... n trust me every time u see her...Hot damn what a feeling
-
@Schiffer - here are the pics mate i just got them done just for you and i love the nostalgic effect people are getting too and also the conlight
-
Damn... the video ain't playing Sampath and thanks... Schiffer there is a tray load which you have a sort of a filter unit... will take a pic of both 2mrw n upload it for you
-
Yup you got it the switch is on the left hand side of the steering with low, mid n high settings n auto too... it sits right behind the back seats between the speakers sorta like a grill thingy...n when you open the boot looks as if theirs a CD changer sorts
-
Nope Schiffer was there when i bought it Or an also have a purifier as well in the boot also came with it...
-
@Supra_Natural - Thanks mate Guys on ebay after you all suggested i found error corrective LED's T5 and T10's so why not go for those think they were 5W a piece??? @Schiffer - that little gizmo on the right hand side dashboard does the lighting by it self... when its getting dark you get the parking lights n fog and awhile letter the headlights pop on.... bit of a poop when u go under shaded areas but later on found there's sorta a timer to adjust at the back
-
Komi i hope its all sorted now with your wheels
-
Well...hope along the way if i do find one will change the cluster & steering @JDMNitro - Thankx mate
-
Yeah thinking on the same line as well.... the orange cluster would bright up well with a LED combination
-
@ Reckless - will put up the interior a bit later on coz need to clean it up first those pedals were put on after i bought it but the replacements are on the way too
-
Appreciate your input guys.... well i did check for the meter cluster n didn't came across these except for one Auto cluster but then again if i do that the interior might not match properly...its just gonna be a miss match scenario in there... i do deed to improve the back-lights of the panel though bit dark. hope to get this down as well http://3mauto.com/paint-defender-spray-film.html the fine tuning is what m hoping to do now. today just kept ogling at her from all sides. @Jaliya - why not mate, i missed the meet up that was recently done though, was still painting then.
-
@Davy - future plans yanna poddak inna onee dan coz yanne rim eken danata... Lol I do need to get new wheels just hope the once i looked at before are there and a set of coil-overs will do nicely. its down to the finer details now
-
@All - Takes a humble bow... thank you guys..... indeed have come a long way...think Komi knows the amount of "anayak" i must hv been @Hoonigan / Davy / Bracket - Yeah the color really came out better than planned... guess the 3hrs worth of rummaging through the color catalog of all car makes paid off in full from the reaction u guys have given... @Komi - yeah that part as well as the spoiler needs to be put on hence no picture from behind... Oh the GT emblem on the shell too
-
@iRage : Thanks mate yes the colour indeed.still ogling at it from all sides Lol BTW PM'd u the details
-
And Finally today.... (except a few pieces like the spoiler n the strip running under the headlights all is done!!! )
-
Well once the engine was done...only thing was to move on to the paint (Never knew you had so many parts inside a car till you actually took it apart for painting...the carpets alone..... my God!!!)

Newer 4A-GE getting ready...

In the garage ready for a engine swap

So finally got something worth writing about in AL… So your first car is actually something special, for car crazy fans it would be like Jeremy said ““It’s what non-car people don’t get. They see all cars as just ton-and-a-half, two-tons of wires, glass, metal and rubber. That’s all they see. People like you or I know, we have an unshakable belief that cars are living entities. Not like a Toyota Corolla obviously, but a real… You can develop a relationship with a car. And that’s just what non-car people don’t get.” - Jeremy Clarkson. Have seen in AL alone people restoring oldies or even bringing newer once a bit of a kick from what they were before. So what I got is actually a 1996 Toyota Carina GT AT210, 4A-GE Blacktop 20v engine, 5MT. and someone along the way decided to change the lights, shell n bumpers with the 1999-2000 model. For the record when I took hold of it, it had done 135k on the clock and by the time I started this project the clocked just ticked off to 180k (just putting it out for the record). Due to work sadly had to leave her ideal for about 6 months occasionally being started up by my dad but by the time I returned it was in a fix… the process included an engine rebuild also of a 2nd option of getting hold of another newer engine. The latter option was going nowhere with some guy quoting the engine, gearbox and suspension as one unit. Finally got hold of one, which was in a pretty good nick. The engine rebuild was closer to buying a new engine so opted to go for a newer one. After the engine swap, was sent off for paint. Choosing a decent color alone was a bit of a headache but pulled it off thanks to the Honda Catalogue which was “Kaiser Silver” and have to say it was a right one to go with. Right about now it’s in the last stages of touching up the few bits and pieces. Removing all the parts to the bare shell means there are few squeaks and rattles coming from everywhere for now hunting them down. Also left with a few additions of TRD spark plug wires, Greddy oil filter, voltage stabilizer (en route by now) shocks and wheels need to be sorted out from here. Have to say during this time got to know one epic gentlemen here whose car is well known in AL forum as well as the person who built it, although I would love to give credit to him with his real name for helping me out, I will just say he is the resident Doctor Komi himself. Although I am car gone wild, coz of him I was able to get in touch with few pretty awesome guys, few being Rumesh & also Nadeeka (who seems to have every part imaginable just about everywhere in his yard…it’s just amazing). And also the member “OctaneHead” who writes great blogs about the car culture in SL. So humbly like to thank you all for your help. Keeping most of it in its original condition, and welcome any input from you guys and if I missed out on anything do let me know. Before shots...think these were taken right after i bought it

Yes please...

Hmmm m loving the wheels mate....good one
