Fiynix st162 1985 Maroon 3rd engine installed

Lol i kinda neglected cleaning inside the car as it is only driven to and from work and nobody really goes in my car except me.
I always kept the oustide clean.
Have been doing a lot more interior and exterior cleaning on a weekly basis now and i have an all new love for my car again lol

 

Well latest update for you all.

I have been talking with jaydee/smackdownz and have purchased something from him he was holding onto and thought id inquire about if he still had them.


here are a pair of st160 corona front indicators









and what i believe to be the last unused pair of clear side repeaters that tangcla use to be able to get for us 4th genners





updates on the car are
rust on underside of windscreen up top so a bit afraid of removing glass and finding it badly rusted and hoping it's only surface rust.
have also purchased some rear boot plastics and tail light covers
hatch seal from wreckers in awesome condition


not much else has been done lately now that we have a new project to get on the road.

 

Thanks steve.
we have 2 cars in the garage and pingu is parked in front of garage.
So have 1 car park soace left for future spare parts car lol.
everyone in the units are wondering when we will need to hire their garages for more cars lol

 

Just a quick update for you all.
Have purchased another oil cooler sandwich plate so i can reinstall my oil cooler kit.
Sandwich plate that came with the kit had a o-ring rubber too big in diameter and was causing leakage however this on has a diameter of 65mm so hoping it will work as that's what i measure the inner diameter of my oil filter to be.

and i also managed to score a set of 4 undamaged mint condition 7th gen zr rims with brand new tyres on them for $100.
only problem was they were 250km's away from me and i had 1 day to get there and back.
also found out the rims are actually 16x6.5 and the offset is +39 which i thought was a bit weird.
for some reason i thought the offset on them was +35. oh well either way i'm stoked to have a set of them now as backups.

here is pic of tread and rims.

 

Hi all it has been a very long time since i updated but not much really going on down here.

I have had 2 different sets of rims on my car but for now have settled for the 7th gen rims on it as my usual black rims are bald and need new tyres.
i bought a mazda 323 whiteline strut brace brand new off ebay and installed that in the rear. only needed to be redrilled for the strut bolts to fit.
I also have st202 twinpot brakes up front and st202 brakes in rear. with very thick discs.

Also have been to a car show and also had professionla pics of my car taken but will put them in a seperate post.
Anways heres the brakes strut brace and pic of the car for you all.

 

Hi all. Thought id throw in a quick update on the old girl.

As some of you know i have bought a new car which means this one doesn't get driven as much (not that it was driven much to begin with lol)
Anyways only updates i have are it currently has white lightning seats installed (not wired in as i have other plans for them)
and currently running 17x8.25 xxr527 rims 215/45/17 tyres. +35
Have received a package from the mighty mitchell (cuts) of a st204/5 brake booster and have a st205 master cylinder i received from another friend to help complete my brake upgrade as i have some serious pedal play with the new brakes that are currently on.
Anyways as the car isnt driven as much i;m not in a mass rush to install but hoping to give it all a go soon and see how it ends up.


I have also been to classic japan in my car and had a blast down there and spent the whole day cleaning and prepping my car for it.

 

Thanks Mafix,
the brakes are very spongey and soft atm.
Have a st205 booster and master cylinder to install to fix the problem (hoping to fix anyways) lol.
as the stock st162 setup isnt enough to give them the grab they need. but should pull up fairly quick once done.
if i have trouble installing them i may just go for the st185 master cylinder and see if that works.

 

Hi Lone WOLF
From memory it was this strut brace as it was on sale.
might not have been a 323 but a 626 brace. only needed to redrill holes.

anyways hope this helps mate.
But id imagine the 323 ones would fit also

 

All good mate.if these are still available next week I can buy one for you and you can pay for it plus postage.won't charge you anything extra.don't think it would be too much for postage to Europe.

Otherwise give these guys a message and they may ship international.they are pretty good and have a lot of deals all the time.
I got a set of front and rear slotted rotors off them dba brand for $90 posted.brand new.

 

Well not much really has changed with Fiynix in the past couple of years as its basically at a point where i want it to be and just focussing on my wifes gtr has been enough to keep me from wanting to do anything to it lol.

heres a few pics from car shows and events since last update however am planning on soo doing a gt4 bonnet for it for something to do and will be getting a new windscreen and rust removed as it is leaking so will also strip interior and remove sound deadener and possibly air con and give it a bit of a fix up if it needs it lol.
