Hi, just a quick intro first.
Owner - Eric (me:))
Car - 1990 ST185 SuperRed (originally - before i took ownership  )
Bought her at 230,000kms and new it needed a rebuild.
Paint was first. Had her resprayed to the Toyota black. They did an ok job (for $2000)
The motor is fully rebuilt and i bought it off Charliemr2 off these forums. Big thanks goto him because he helped me so much with the installation and everything. Thanks man.
The turbo is a hi-flowed ct26 which i also bought off here.
Other mods are 3" aussie downpipe and front connecting pipe+ cat converter.
Greddy Turbo Timer
I had a vdo boost gauge. then took it out. coz i wanna buy a boost controller that can show me that aswel.
The latest and best mod is the ST205 intercooler. Using a brand new genuine 205 heat exchanger, and used genuine pump, it works a treat. we didnt modify the cooler at all. Matt at Toyospares somehow managed to make an adapter to fit.
Tomorrow i am going to pay for my whiteline works kit.
I dont plan to do much more to it after that.
here are the pictures..

Hey Eric, just wondering if you have replaced the tail lights so that they are series II style and match the genuine GrpA's?
