Haha, I was wondering about that. I let it get a head a way, but the damn thing disappeared.

 

Thats a bad ass little truck man. I can say we dont have any old school trucks like that here in town, well except my brother 85 720

 

That thing is sweet. I assume its bagged?

 

Ya it is. Is actually hoping to get it done this weekend lol. Ill post a link in my build thread to his build so I dont thread jack yours anymore lol

 

Update time. I got my collectors plates finally. And I got some 300zx rims and tires. Motor is running strong. I've got an alternator upgrade in the works. Yada yada.

 

I've got to tweak the front end around a little bit to get it lower. Balljoint flip should do it. Gotta cut/mod my inners though. The bumper feet and mud flaps are probably coming back off. I may sand down the black paint, and do them up bronze. If I don't like it I can always paint them black again. Since they need touch up anyways.

 

sweet plates!!!! it's looking pretty dope!!!! how far are you going to drop your truck??? are you also going to make it a sleeper??? a sleeper in that body syle is badass!!!hell it has the power and the balls too!!!!

 

I put a harbor freight voltage gauge in today. Its temp in the stereo hole for the moment. I'll get their electric water temp and electric oil pressure soon. Then finish my celica gauge swap. But its coming along slowly, funds have been short lately. It has a 4 pin LED so it can do 7 combos of colors. Little switch on the face. Not bad for $20. I will do some research and trial/error with 4 pin LEDs and try to get the celica tach/speedo/fuel to have closely matched colors on their own switch, so I can keep them all roughly the same color. I'm going to reverse mount them as well, so they look slightly recess instead of having a ring from the face.

 

Sorry for 6 out of 7 of those pics being giant. I did resize them all. Photobucket is just being a retard.

 

I ordered a V6 all aluminum radiator from ebay tonight. My stock one split the seam under the upper hose the other day. It should be larger than stock, and will cool much better. E-fans will happen later. For now, I wanna fix the leak. I hope its here next week sometime.

And I ordered some 2500k H4 bulbs to run in the center housings. I'm going to finally swap my spare housing into the broken one's spot. And since I only have 3 working bulbs, and they aren't off the shelf bulbs, I just ordered a set of the JDM yellows. 2500k seems to be the color temp that all the euro/import guys like to run. I need to grind a little more off all the housings to get them to sit perfect in the headlight buckets. The taper is a bit too large so they all sit slightly off seat.

I'll run some temp jumpers to the low beam pins on the centers since the factory wiring doesn't have it. Not to the center housings. I'll tap power from the outers. Can't be worse than running everywhere on high beams. I've also got my headlight relay/rewire project finally figured out. Just gotta swap my new alternator in, and get a distribution/fuse block to mount to the passenger inner fender to feed all the headlight relays. Radioshack has a nice dist block I'm going to use. I'm going to run 4 relays. Pass lows, pass highs, driver lows, driver highs. Should keep wear and tear of the relays down, and let them run more efficiently. When I do this, I'll get some voltage readings. I'm willing to bet there is atleast a 3 volt drop through all the factory wiring.

Saturday, or maybe tomorrow, I am hitting the store to buy the water temp and oil pressure gauges to match my voltage gauge. And I'll get my filler panel made to house the 5 gauges across the dash panel. I'm thinking I'll use some wood I have in the garage. Easier to work with. And its free I'll try to document how I wire it all up. I have most of the things I need to do that. Just gotta do it.

So yeah, tomorrow looks like I'll be spending some money. Fuse block, get the CS144 alt tested, and figure out brackets, buy gauges, yada yada. I may even bomb can my console black til its finished all the way. And vacuum. I need to vacuum. Okay, now I'm rambling. I haven't slept.

 

new rims are lookin good man!

 

Z wheels!!! I want to test my z31 wheels and see how they look. ive never had a z32.

 

when do you wanna race the forester lol

 

Somehow I think you're talking about Lukes suby. rich??

 

nope... talkin bout my forester.. you dont wanna race it. it put down 312whp/330wtq on the dyno

 

**** it, line 'em up!

 

Great watching this progress.

 

nice truck how did you lower the back and also does it still drive decent with so much spring taken out

 

pull your middle leaf and put some blocks back there

 

Hell no it doesn't drive decent. Byker does not believe in suspension.

Did you see his post about how he got high sided on a road turtle ?? It took him 2 fat chicks, 7 feet of tow chain, and a cup cake to get his truck off the turtle. Trust me, you don't want to see the pictures.
