@Aloimonos:soon to come

@JonT: Pretty noisy i 'd say. In the beginning I thought i havent screw the bolts dtrong enough. When rpm go why there that reverberant sound, VERY VERY annoying

Finally raised the car to check suspension.
Kyabas white are at the rear with unknown springs (eibach i think)

and YES i have adjustable front suspension with unknows spring (TRD i think) and custom made Konis.

Strut has a welded perch on it so you can adjust high

AArghhh...just looking at that panhard rod bushing hurts! Interesting suspension setup...never seen that before..original idea. Probably necessary with those (trd?) springs on it.

[nmwisima]

Yeah that bushing is to laught at...
It's a shock to see them like that...

What setup Ivan? The front one? TRD springs and like that greenish/blueish color, right?

A coil is welded at the outside of the strut (no cutting,no short stroke of course) and the stock "saucer" is also welded in to a rotating perch, so all that thing rotates and you ca adjust ride-hight.

I guess now it's at the lower point

Went to the mechanic again, and what I saw is this!

Car is working with the celica fuel pump and looks good. I just say "looks" ok...

Biggest surpise: I ve never seen my engine bay so clean and tidy!!!!

He cleaned everything, head, manifold protection, removed all tie raps, removed all bullshit, all cables...

He move the oil catch tank to a more descent place, removed the fuel pressure gauge, and "hide" the fuel sender.

Also wired up the fuel pump the right way, and halmeter also, and fuel pressure gauge inside also wired upp the right way...

What can I say?
We will see...

Wish somebody did to my engine bay.

Very nice I must say.

btw: what kind of distributor do you use? What picks up the CAS?

[nmwisima]

What is the "CAS"?

[ZaX]

Crank Angle Sensor
4a-ge has distributor cap driven from the one of the camshafts.
4a-gze does not have by your pictures.

[Ivan141]

If you look closely zax, you'll see that there is a sensor mounted where the distributor is supposed to be..you can see it sitting above the exhaust heat shield.

Damn Ivan, do you have to spoil all the fun? I was teasing nmwisima a little.
