RECENTLY HAS NOT BEEN STARTING. Let the car sit for a few months while I have been away in training and now it won't start. I'm leaving again soon and I won't be able to get it going in time just end to get rid of it asap. Really sad about letting it go.
The engine is a late build, eavy block USDM 7M-GTE with a JDM cylinder head. the block was cleaned, luxed and checked for cracks. After it was found to be a good starting point, e resurfaced the deck for the MLS head gasket and bored it to fit 84mm Arias 9.0:1 forged pistons. The OEM rods were shot-peened and reconditioned. All new Clevite bearing for the rods and crank.
The rear timing cover was in fact bolted to the engine for the resurface. No BHG issues here!
A new oil pump was installed with a Driftmotion pump feed hose to eliminate the restrictive factory pipe.
At the same time I replaced the timing belt, ater pump, iming belt tensioner and all front end seals.
All gaskets are Cometic. .051" MLS head gasket. ARP head studs and rod bolts.
The cylinder head was cleaned, ressure tested, esurfaced and also received a 3-angle valve job and valve adjustment.
The stock CT-26 turbo is on the car with the original fuel injectors and MAF on the OEM ECU. The boost has never exceeded 8 psi as of yet.
R154 5 speed transmission. - The clutch is a new OEM disc with an RPS flywheel and clutch cover. - Very nice for daily driving. Aluminum one-piece driveshaft.

Brand new 18"x8.5", .5" XXR 531 wheels with a +35 offset. Brand new Bridgestone Potenza RE760 Sports at all corners. 275/35 in the rear 245/40 up front.
The brakes are good and the parking brake works flawlessly.
I have also replaced the original rear spoiler with an 89+ model, s well as the tail lights and side moulding. The taillights and mouldings are from a JDM JZA70 TT-R, hich have the darker colors, nd in my opinion look nicer.
JDM folding side mirrors.
Brand new Truck-Lite L.E.D headlights. - Amazing light output and no warm-up time, ike janky aftermarket HiD's.
The front end has correct UKDM front half clear markers and a C7Carbon fiberglass front lip.
The steering rack is brand new and the outer tie rod ends are a bump-steer kit from Japan with heim joint ends.
The interior has been updated with brand new custom floor mats, 990 instrument cluster (for a functioning cruise control indicator light) as well as a 1989 non-airbag steering wheel. Cruise functions perfectly.
No cracks in the dash at all. The center console, rmrest and shift console look incredible.

The car has been repainted, hile not perfect still looks amazing.
I have a total of 15,000 miles on it since the build was completed.
