Nachtmensch: ZZW30

I've been thinking that it might be a better idea to finish the 2zz project before buying other stuff...

I will have a hardtop at some point though.

 

Volks are officially paid for. They will be gone later this week when I remove the tires.

Now, to buy some goodies :evil:

 

Your digressing. :slap: Your supposed to KEEP collecting badass parts. Not sell all of them.

 

Sell some badass parts, get more badass parts.

Stage 2 is over. Time for Stage 3.


Stage 1: RPF1, HKS coils
Stage 2: Aero, SE37
Stage 3: 2zz, ????, ???????

 

The Hipermax better stay for Stage 3. lol. You should get some SSR's. You've had Volk and Work. SSR is the logical next step.

 

Hipermax will stay. I might get some Swift springs to up the rates a little. Or find some anti-roll bars. I was leaning more toward Advan's over SSR's though. We'll see what I end up with though. I'm too indecisive about wheels to be able to tell you now.

I will be ordering some parts for the 2ZZ later this week. MWR Flat face valves, Eibach valvesprings, Toyota gasket kit, passenger's side mount, used throttle body and IAC, Circuitworx oil pump gear (stronger, stock is a known weakpoint) and new oil pump housing, and ARP hardware. I might do a new water pump while I have the motor out too.

That should be about it.

Oh, and good news; my bearings look ok Just some normal wear. (jounal #2 has some oil on it, so it looks worse than it is) This motor had a BHG too as proven by the milky oil. I'm just glad the bearings are fine.

 

I just picked up a ECU. Now I just need a TB and a mount. SWEET.



Should I black out my motor, or paint it silver? I was thinking of black chrome for the valve cover... but I want the motor to look nice. reference:

plan for 2010:

 

not usually a fan of the gt wings but thats pretty badass.

 

Yeah, the car really has to fit for it to look right. And the wing has to be the right one, not any old cheap one.

On another note, the Del Sol might be sold this week. If so, it's time to order wheels !

 

wheels? Rota Slipstreams?!?!?!?!
