Jyttah is an unknown quantity at this point
Im very good at forgetting to upload pictures here. But better late than never.

Lets continue with the coil-cover.
got it sanded down and gave it some paint. As it was to basic, i added some carbon-scrap i had laying around to give it a forged carbon look. And ofc. i added some glitter to it also.




And as always. I did some useless purchases


The coolant container was installed right away as the old one were cracked.
the LED will be installed when it gets warmer.

In one of my evening drives, the alternator died. Luckily i have some spares. So 2 hours and it was changed. But still a not so fun job.


As another thing i finally installed the oil sandwich plate so i can get oil preasure and oil temp. At the same time i did an oil and filter change.


Another quick and easy job to do, is do the 1990s JDM sleepyeye mod. It requires 4 wires and 2 switches. Did some 3D printing and got the switches in place. (also please notice the boost gauge )



As the previous owner installed some 5point harness, he drilled through the fuel lines. As i knew this i just had to fix it. So took the rear subframe out and replaced both lines wiht 8mm copper




And back on the road to test it!


Yet another small thing the car was missing. The logo in the front bumper.
I have a chrome one, but it just doesnt fit the car. So i recreated one in Fusion360 and printed it. Looks pretty good. But i can be better. So im working on getting it "just right"






I also needed to paint the front lip as i totally forgot it when painting the rest of the car. I ordered a rattlecan with same color as the car and some 2k clear coat
But first i had to do a bit of fibreglass work to make it look desent


Pictures of the final result will come at a later point.

As the car is lowered, i couldnt run the OEM fender liner. So i had to get creative. Did some CAD work and created a plate to install behind the front wheels. This reduces the amount of rocks being thrown in there.



Had to enjoy it with a RedBull


My seat rail wasnt great as the seat wasnt centered. The issue was the seatbelt bracket. So after some heat and some basic tools, it was bent into place so i could center the seat. Great success!


As a last thing for now. I also did some research and purchased some roof bars. Gotta have something different for this car
Some parts are 3D printed as i couldnt find the parts anywhere.
