Actually now that I look at it again, it would put the boot where the base part of the 999 shifter is, but the shift lever itself looks like it's still in the factory area, so it should line up with the upper console boot still?

Dope! Thanks man

Swapped in a new Chasebays Clutch Master - super nice piece.

Been a while since the last update. Cars been running for a few weeks now and it feels great! SerialNine shifter is crazy short and took some serious getting used to but damn does it feel good. This trans with a stock 4.08 rear rips through gears like nothing - acceleration is insane but highway speeds suffer big time. Few pics since last time

Custom Driveshaft made locally took less than a day and came out great.






Sent the car off to STP Motorsports near me to double check me on the clutch pedal setup, fix a coolant leak and while it was there i had the steering rack rebuilt and car aligned.



Havent found a solution to seal up the shifter hole so a little aluminum tape did the trick for now.


First oil change is probably well over a year


Random pics of the bay.. planning on cleaning up a ton of wiring and more things in the bay now that its back on the road

Little update - not much changed. Just cleaning up the bay a bit and throwing some wheels on the front to finally match the rears.

Some goodies from Driftmotion to help in pretty up the bay.


GKTech RCC Kit and Eccentric Lockout Kit


ESR SR04's 18x9.5+22 but running a 12mm spacer to clear brakes wrapped in Federal 595's 215/40/18. Car needs more low up front now. Ill be dropping it after I install the GKTech RCC Kit I bought along with DIFTech knuckle adapter sleeves I never realized I needed




Driftmotion power steering reservoir I had literally just bouncing around in the bay for years... I picked up a Chase Bays reservoir bracket and drilled 1 extra hole and it worked out super nice. Threw on a new turbo feed line, turbo blanket and the billet caps for the engine oil and ps reservoir. Waiting on the correct chase bays bracket to mount to a new coolant res by them.




Bracket I used for anyone looking to mount their DriftMotion res

Slapped on the old front bumper again to high that massive front mount. Definitely time for a proper kit


Few random shots with my cousins clean ass Starlet



More updates coming soon! Got a digital dash on the way and im pretty excited about that one to finally have a working cluster again.

[BiG MiKE86]

Nice package came in today! Finally getting dash back in the car now with this bad boy.





Almost fits like it was meant to be there. Ordering a sheet of ABS plastic to mount the cluster to and it should be good to go

Installed the AIM MXS Strada 1.2 and customized a few pages and the splash screen. This thing is worth every penny!

I believe is a 3SGTE? Something out of an MR2 I believe - not entirely sure.

I was in the market for pigtails to finally get all my front lights working. Missing the pigtails for the corners and finally found them.





Ordered some from Wiring Specialties that work!!!

Perfect fit and brand new connectors. Its a shame to see folks on ebay selling a pair of beat up pigtails with 1" of wire for $30-$40! Get yourself these and you'll be set.

Quick clip of the first burnout. Car feels solid and smoother than ever

+ A million for the bread trick. You must be a mechanic by family generations or have a good old friend. Only other time I?ve seen that is from an old mechanic buddy of mine.

Sweet build, makes me itch to drop my 2J

That bread trick I actually picked up on YouTube but definitely been wrenching most my life following the older generations in the fam

Thanks
