My ride :) ST162 April 1986, ST165 R.I.P. Engine kept !

So it's raining and I thought let's make the 3sge a bit more compact in the small shed I have .

If somebody needs parts of it, let me know your offer.






where I point out, the outletthingies are more white thhan the other cilinders?

 

didn't look at the exhaust, wil do it soon. It ran perfectly that was no reason to take it out

 

That's taken beginning of the month when also my car got re-valued for insurance. And yes, I broke through the 5 digit(Euro) area with it's value now .

 

Behind me is the (former) president of a belgium toyota club. And it's over 10K euro , but not much. They value the car for the obvious reasons, interior, exterior, OEM Accesoires, improvements, it is one of the last original ST162 in the netherlands and since I changed to the original 4th gen engine, that is more or less accepted and upgrading brakes etcetera helps as well. I tried to use OEM where ever possible, so it's no Fast&Furious look in/on/around my car.

 

I have an all-risk insurance on the car under club-insurance and a max of 5K km's per year. Furthermore, the car's new value in the netherlands is higher as in other countries due to our tax system.

Well, it's not that I want to sell the car so it only gives me some of the investment payback when caught in an accident, fire or whatever that would wreck the car. We all know we all put more money in our cars then we will get back for them.

 

what engine? The old one ?? Or the one I have now as the 3s-gte is not for sale of course

 

received the white doormarkers from Stig this week so plastidipped the holders black and put 1 on. I dipped it because black won't stand out from the doorpanel of course

what do you guys think? I am doubting if white is my way to go...

 

wow...I'm on page 2 lol

so just to inform you guys some new sh*t arrived today . Next spring they're due to get under the car ! (hope to collect some more stuff this winter to do it all in once).





happy me

 

So today I took off the intercooler. I'm going to clean it with petrol (the core) and insulate the bottom with heat resistant foils. Also going to re-spray the heatshield and use the foil on the inside of that as well. Took off the heatshield of the alternator as it was quite rusted. Sanded it down and sprayed it but kinda forgot to really clear the de-greaser of it so have to re-spray it now. But I'm out of paint so it has to wait .
Will also install my oil catch can otherwise the cleaning is for nothing.

I never had complaints about painting these smaller parts before, just need to follow the correct procedure with the degreaser. . Once the paint has been heated it becomes much harder as it's heat resistant paint that needs this heating first. I think I'm going to use silver paint though instead of black. Also for the heatshield maybe. I would like a bigger radiator but didn't find anything suitable (and cheap) yet, thinking of a small car radiator maybe, like from an aygo or even smaller. The stuff is self adhesive, got it from a friend so can't link to a site for it...

Did you also notice the picture with my swaybar above?? Not normal here that people don't respond to such things ! hahaha lol
