I didnt think it was going on the road, what about the dirty engine build that was going on and the trackcar only plans lol?

Its good to see you got one of your own projects sorted mate, you were getting everyone elses done but not your own. It looks great, well done again.

Plans are meant to be broken Johnboy.

Think she deserves the road, definitely didn't deserve to taken off it!

The 'dirty' build 4EFTE will be heading into something else eventually. Been so busy/ill that MOT still hasn't been attempted yet. Hopefully book it tomorrow along with the RX8's.

Jay, the car actually looks polished in the latest pic. I assume its down to the camera friendly paint work, hats off for getting her back on the road.

Much appreciated, God is in the details eh?

I actually spilt some Autoglym over it by accident and had to mop it off with an old rag... Guilty as charged - the paintwork needs all the help it can get!

i cant believe they left the oem top mount on it lol, crazy japs. really nice to see this back to its former glory. its unreal how many of these cars are getting broken these days. good work!

i love the exhaust too. in the hyper revs pic it says its a 5zigen. is it the same as the one thats on it now with the outward rolled tip? my mate had an old 5zigen on his gt but it must have been a different model of 5zigen as it looked quite different, it had a smaller back box and wasn't outward rolled.

Yup, 1.1 bar on a K24. The top mount was surprisingly cool after hard runs but a front mount makes a lot more sense.

Any under the bonnet pics of her as she is now Jay?

Full story can be seen in here mate : http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/dynamics/showentry.php?e=24997

Engine bay is fairly stock until I gather what is needed for the proper restoration back to JDM spec. Might be a few years lol..

Wow what a transformation, that is one very nice GT! Just curious to know what kinda management did the Trial GT come with from Japan as i can see it had 370cc injectors plus a GTR fuel pump maybe.

Cheers dude, she was running an Apexi PFC but it got stolen at the docks during import. A Blitz ECU was used as a replacement but this was upgraded to an Emanage Ultimate from what I remember when Chris changed her to NI spec tuning. Currently rolling a Mines ECU at the minute but that could change at any stage lol.

see didnt i tell that you have brought worse things home than me this pic makes the gt we pick up last nite look complete.lol

Sure does Rab, your's will be a breeze to work at compared to the horrors that this one put me through.

She actually went uphill for a bit when Chris got his mitts on it but she was stripped out and left for dead when I got her. MOT is booked so watch for it the roads soon.
