You are sleeping better when You know those are powercoated, have to do same for my P7. Once looked Toyota price for those mounts and they were very cheap, but I guess nor available anymore. More pictures about intercooler? You should paint it black with heatpaint, more sleeper look...

No, you can't buy them anymore, and the left one in the front has a habit of rusting pretty much. But now they should last very long 😊

I got some on my computer, can upload later. I have thought about painting it matt black, because it' also more efficient when it's black. And it's more hidden, the danish police doesn't like modified cars that much 😉

#TBT !

On request, I'm uploading a bunch of pics from the build today. They are from when I bought the car till today.

I've used approx. 250 hours on the bottom, and the result speaks for itself. I build my own carbon ramair headlight to use when racing.

A good friend of mine used a whole day on the wings and fenders, knocked them out with a hammer, and the car is now 15 mm wider on each side in the rear and 10 mm on each side in the front. It's been made so it still fits the car and looks original which is the plan. That's why I call the project a resto mod.

Removing this original body sealer is a piece of sh*t. In total it weights 18 kg.

Project clean enginebay started like this. Cleaned the bay so all holes were visible, and afterwards closed all holes that wasn't gonna be used. It's done right with a welder and tinned afterwards.

All corners on the bottom are sealed after the first layer of paint. It's becase the paint is thinner than sealer, so it goes deeper and protects.

Here the fenders are widened. Looks really awesome on the little boxy

Yeah a couple of hours has been used already. The engine will get even more attention to get a look that's not seen every day.

Actually don't know much about the interccoler, bought it of a friend who bought it from poland, a size too small for his starlet, but it's capable of flowing about 450 hp. I don't even have the dimensions on it.

Nice size cooler, don't have to cut front too much :) I like those old vs new pictures, so big job to get it that point.

What kind of wheel combo are You planning, maybe 9+10" as in swedish P7 :)

And rear axle bushing from where, I haven't seen Powerflex for P7, custom made?

Yea I just cut a small piece of each side, so the intercooler fits perfectly, radiator is mounted so there is space for 2,5" pipes.

Right now the wheels are gonna be 8x15" et10, but I'm looking for 8,5's and see if there's something i like.

The bushings are from an ep91, actually all bushings are, but for the rear axle I had to modify them a bit, so they fit well. Bought in UK.

I tired 8x15 et 10 on my P7 and they stuck out miles on the front! were ok on the rear though

I tested et35 8" front, those came out and no chance to turn wheels, rubbed everywhere :) Rear was ok with those, few mm cap inside :)

Okay, EP91 48,5mm rear bushing can fit to P7 axle, just ordered rear set last week, so front will fit also, thanks for info anyway.

It's also the front i'm a bit worried for, but it's 10 mm wider on each side, that's actually a lot when wheels need to be fitted. Think the rear needs spacers, so it looks the same front and rear. Or I could try et0 😄

Yes, can't remember the size I bought, there is 2 sizes on the powerflex website. But everything else fits like a glove, if you got a hydraulic press you get the best result.

I finally got a little longer with my engine. I made a bunch of other stuff which isn't visible, like loom for gauges and power control. I also got the interior mounted, only missing a few bits and a speedo with rpm.

Intake is cleaned with a steel brush and then painted skyline sparkling silver as the rest of the engine bay. Trying to keep it simple and clean. All bolts and nuts are also cleaned before mounted.

Just a pic of the interior. It's only the front seats that is gonna be mounted. I just need a strut in the rear and front.

An aeromotive FPR is gonna keep the fuel pressure stable

A bit more happened today. Got some more stuff cleaned, painted and mounted on the engine, it's slowly getting there.

Matchporting of the intake manifold to fit the head perfectly and for optimal flow.

Clean and as new. It's a huge job to clean and paint every single bit of the engine, but it looks nice when it's mounted

Fuelrail mounted with 560cc injectors, and ready for an6 adapter in the end, so it can be connected to my aeromotive fpr

Intercooler painted black for a stealth look, I don't like attention, so no shiny stuff

Gearbox is refurbished, although this isn't the box i'm gonna use for ever, I just gave it a quick clean and paint so it looks nice like the rest of the engine.
