My plan is to Paint these Gold and have Black Lexus logos on them. Dont know what Im going to do about replacing the rears just yet. Any ideas would be Helpful!!

 

Supra TT for rears!

 

That was my first thought..though not cheap by no means. Is there any other options out there?

 

Couldn't wait to put them on..Didnt clean them up or anything..And the front is has a big space because there is no engine... WHAT DO YALL THINK??

Oil Filter relocation/cooler kit came in last night..I let the kids open the packages, they like doing that.

Dang... looks good man !

Does that oil relocation kit has an NPT hole for the oil pressure sensor ? And where would it be installed ? Need to know how long will I extend the wire for the oil pressure sensor plug .

 

These pics really help me out. I'm trying to pick up a set of Works with similar rim sizes and wasn't sure how they'd fit. Nice to see that they'll fit nice n flush!

 

Good deal, Im glad it helped you out! Im very happy with how they turned out. I like that flush look as well. Not big on the wheels sticking out really far thing. Make sure you post pics when you get those works!

 

The front passenger fender had a few dents in it due to some a-holes puching it out of anger when Gerrb brought it home for me. Gerrb parked the car/trailer in the parking lot of a eatery and apparently someone got pissed that the trailer took more than one spot and punched my car. Anyway, I am sending it with my next door neighbor who is a body shop manager at a Toyota dealership here in Atlanta. I also sen the front bumper with him to get stripped and repainted. That should make this beauty even more spectacular when I fire her up. The glass contains Fireball whiskey and Sprite

So, Even though I ordered a refurb'd 200Amp Alt for my project I got bored today and figured I would clean this one up and do a little tutorial on how to refurb them if you needed to. So, I've redipped and re-insulated some motors and very large generators in my day and this is nothing hard to do with the alternators. Most of the time your alternator is fine you just need to clean it up and do a little maintenance on it. You can see with this one that is was caked with greased and filth! That can do a number on how it performs and can cause you to think that it is going out when it really isnt. I may just be grime causing problems. So, if you get on like mine you can take the bolts on the back off and the four bolts for the four winding leads out and gently tap the back housing off in a 360' action. Once you get the cap off you will see just how dirty it is in there. Here you can get some elctra clean and spray that stuff off and get you a little bristle brush to help out and then spray that excess grime out. You may see that the red varnish starting to wear off showing the copper all the way through. If this is the case you can get a strong degreaser and clean the windings off-Let dry and then spray a ton of electra clean on the windings again-let that dry. Spray some air drying varnish/insulator ( I Use Gyptol 1201) on the winding and let dry-you'll want to put 2 coats at least. Let that dry for at least a day or two in outside temps. Then your wires are insulated again and are good as new!!
However before getting to this point I noticed that one of the lead pickups fell out when I picked the rear up to flip it over and clean the other side!! You can see here-[IMG][/IMG]

Glad I didn't try and put this one in! That wouldve sucked not knowing!
Anyway you can see how just a little electr clean and a little bristle brush really cleaned this thing up and wouldve help the life of this alternator had it not been broken..

I also picked up some 1000cc injectors today, so if anyone wants some new 750cc Bosch injectors let me know-$425.00

I got to visit the shop at Fuel Injector connection today here in Cumming, GA. They showed me whats all involved with their modifications/testing/innovative additions to injectors and I must say I am quite impressed! They are called upon for some factory supercharger/turbo kits like-Lysholm Superchargers, Magnassun Superchargers, and a bunch of other big named companies I shouldn't mention because those companies pretty much put their own name on FIC's injectors-LOL. These guys are legit and are the original innovators as far as modifying injectors for performance purposes reliably. Lot of companies like Injector dynamics has started to use the processes that Fuel Injector Connection has been doing for years. These guys are huge in the Chevy/Ford industry and have everything we need on this side too! There prices are pretty much the same price as some of these mom and pop shops on ebay, but when you see the craftsmanship and testing they do on these there is no comparison. Give them a call I got these 1000cc Bosch injectors for $479.99 brand new and backed by them no questions! They've been in business for over 38yrs, so lets just say it isn't their first Rodeo.
