this is how dirty the car was as it came from Japan... its a soot like substance

 

and after a quick clean and removing the unneeded wires from the loom

 

Nice Car!! I love it! even if it is an Auto!

 

REVERT haha, i guess i'm slow, i got the Vert part. kekeke

 

most aussies dont know what the VERT part means...

 

Nice...keep up the good work. Wish I had a turbo vert.

 

heres a quick pic of the Mtx8L hoping to get it in the car over the weekend

 

more progress!!

the mounted coils

 

the handset

Because my ECU is one of the last of the MT series it is actually the same as the LT series

 

another handset shot showing the LT series "martix" mode

 

the ECU itself, its not mounted yet and the wiring yet to be tidied

 

heres the rest of my "blue bits"

 

this is a little penguin that I found in the map pocket when I 1st got the car

I figured that since it had survived the tip from Japan I would but him on display

 

and to balance out the ricey blue, my new (used) hiflow
its a v trim wheel in a machined out std copm cover, rear wheel is std with the wastegate ported as big as you can go with the std flap. and the intlet into the turbo is ported too

 

i also modded the throttle body, just removed everything i could see that wasent needed then i came acrrose a site that said to do what i had just done, so i was happy about that.

more updates as they happen ;-)

 

Ive got a couple for ya,

How were you able to take your AFM (air flow meter) off? I did not know you could bypass the system.

Also, how did you do all this with your injury?! It must have taken awhile or some help.

Good effort, I congratulate you.

 

Thanks for your kind words.

The MTX8 works off the TPS and a MAP sensor (built into the ECU) so the AFM isent needed

So far ive done most of the mods myself with help for anything heavy (like the battery relocation). Im lucky i have several good friends that are willing to help me that are into rotors as much as me.

it takes me forever compared to do stuff than it used to. I used to work as a mechanic so i find it very frustrating to take so long doing things, but at least i can still do them. I have a brace i wear on my arm/wrist too
