Engine:
Stock 3T (not 3T-C)
Fully rebuild including stock carb.
Everything is new.
Stock CR 9.0 now 9.6.
Cast snots removed from head.
Martelius extractor and 2" pipe with one muffler.
Waiting for MegaSquirt with quad throttle bodies(under construction).
Turbo in a year.
Drive train:
Stock W50
Stock T292
Waiting for Hilux rear-end with LSD(under construction).
Brakes:
Stock front disks with Twin pot calibers.
Stock rear 9" drums.
Waiting for Hilux/pug disk swap. Im planning of using Saab 9000 calipers with suitable rotors at rear.
Chassis:
Short stroke coil-overs and Monroe sensatrac at front with 2.5kg/mm springs(too soft springs and shock not worth the money).
Rear (mega stiff) springs, unknown origin and Kayaba Gas a Just shocks(definitely worth money ). Rear is wonderful.
Waiting for rear coil-overs(under construction). Maybe watts link and traction brackets.
Stiffer anti-roll bar for front and rear. New poly bushes all around.
Intrior:
Stock.
Exterior:
Stock apart from paint and mirrors.
Also door locks, badges, antennas, etc. removed.
I have afterwards purchased Martelius muffler and 4.0kg/mm springs for front.
Those springs indeed made world of difference to way my car behaves. Theres still minor body roll, most of it due to yielding winter tires. Ride is still comfy. I'm thinking 6.0-8.0kg/mm front springs for next summer.
Quad throttle bodies are almost finished aside from intake plenum and injector positions because I dont yet have injectors. Otherwise I have most of the EFI gear accumulated.
I have also purchased HiLux calipers and Subaru calipers for rear. Those Subaru calipers were from front of one of those butt-ugly Coupe Leones. Original Subaru disk is 18mm thick and 242 diameter. Furthermore favourable features are big pad area, lots of clamping for hand brake(I have tested these calipers in my friends 555), inexpensive and I can use slim rotors due to decent looking desing(not very bulky). I hope these calipers are usable. Both rotors (front and rear) are still question mark to me. Pug rotors might be NO because one half-acquainted has RS-50 hubs that I'm thinking to buy but those are drum hubs. So rotor off-set might be out . Nothing more worth mentioning, I think...
NOW my quad throttle bodies are almost finished. Still have to make bellmouths and plenum for later use(read: forced induction). I have also purchased injectors (Bosch 0 280 150 804). Too large, I know but only another option was too small Camry injectors or brand new ones for +1000¤ .

Site is relentlessly under construction. Dont mind about that.
Photo page is enormous because I dont know how to make thumbnails or what ever those are called.
Lots of things have happened after last post...
Quad throttle bodies are finished and I'm putting them in right now. I have also made and assembled Mega Jolt light junior distributorless ignition system and it's working. My EFI and turbo project is late because of crash I had. Plus I didn't have room for distributor any more and I didn't want to make compromises with my intake system. So I went to distributorless ignition system. It did took it's time. Anyway, anybody with T motor knows what I'm talking about . Pics of throttle bodies are coming up...
