My daily driven st162

So today I found out I have a 3sfe gearbox :/
Restricting heaps of power

 

Exactly so hard
Double clutching and waiting for the gear to catch up seems to work

Want to throw the proper box in
Is it an s54 ? 4.1:1

What's involved in the swap

 

Or already don't the shafts as they failed

 

So I've been playing with different filters and this seems to be my favourite







Here's a photo before last nights touge run along with my mates b18c converted honda crx

 

Yeh replaced that 4 months ago with the ge manifold on with a 2 inch exhaust high flow cat 12 inch hot dog and sports muffler

But ever since I changed that and the air filter top end has died, tvis isn't opening and for the first 5 minutes on cold start the car misfires

I'm thinking leads and plus

 

So last week
I replaced my power steering pump, steering rack and ends.

What I learnt was old mate Toyota hates us 4th gen enthusiasts very much.

Motor out to do pump






I then decided to take a new approach with the car

Going to remove my amp and subwoofer
Remove all carpet
Turn the car into a touge street car

I'm a bit clueless when it comes with the battery relocation
Now what's involved, what parts will I need and does anyone have any installation tips ?

 

Someone lock tighted the top bolt :/

The crx kills me
Need the correct box then I'll give him another run

 

Has been some time since i updated, have done a far bit of work on the car.

*wired up the fog lights
*60mm asi aluminium radiator
*st205 silicone hoses bottom wouldnt fit
*stripped interior
*whiteline rear sway bar
*5 stud conversion with gt4 brakes
*zenki tail light conversion
*removed mud flap
*getting a b pillar brace made up
*stainless steel bash plate being made
* removed centre vents and getting a plate made up to house gauges.




also mocked up what the new wheels will look like



Alot more to come this year so definately stay tuned.

 

I'll take a photo tomorrow for you
Just $20 eBay specials man
Have to find an s53 box, rebuild, LSD diff
Have a huge order of genuine parts coming from japan

Got to start on the bonnet vents

Wire tuck and battery to boot

Ever since I quit mechanics have had the motivation to get stuff done

 

Oh I have, I tried that, my issue was that the hose was then straight, as soon as the engine moves a little the hose pops off

 

Here a few photos of the front end as you requested.

 

Money's money at the end of the day
I work 2 jobs
Hardly get a chance to drive the car as I'm always working
