94 Silver bullet and optional extra gt


Recommended Posts

Right i was told by a few people to start up 1 of these because the grey color on my gt is a bit rare and plus im collecting a few bits and pieces 4 her and adding my own touch to her as we all do



At the start when i 1st got her i didn't think too much of her needed a bit of tlc but she was rust free low mileage and nice price but i was skeptical over the mileage but i still got her

Right with over a 2 hour journey home with her the standard steering wheel wrecked my head so that had to go and of course the car was lowered and was dog ruff and roads around me are crap so normal springs to be put in her for now


Another main reason i got her is because the engine was untouched as far as i could see still have the standard blow off valve the efi pipe and of course the standard air filter box which we all know are getting rare now


She also was on 14 inch standard Toyota alloys off a glanza i think but still i like them sprayed black a bad job but not too bad


Of course the fella i got it off cut an extra post box in the front bumper for whatever reason so that's another thing on the list to do

Too be honest i didnt take many photos of her at the start didn't it was worth it but ill try my best to make the pictures and story add up :p



Right when i got her back first thing first drove her to my buddy with a garage and a lift had a good look around couldn't see too much when she was parked when i was buying her as you all know no rust under the arches or chassis but i did find a few stupid jobs to do :sad:


She had a huge hole in the windscreen sprayers bottle and no line to connect to the sprayers on the bonnet and the motor for the sprayers was shagged how did all that happen?


Looked in the boot and under the mat no jack or wheel brace but spare jap wheel so that's a start


Plus he was very vague when the timing belt was done 1015791_581618385193945_1025557619_o.jpg



sourced a set of normal height springs for her and that made all the difference with the comfort no more bouncing around the roads now


Also when the new timing kit was fitted the old belt and pulleys when well worn so just as well i didn't believe him about it



Right also i was wondering why there was 2 different types of wheel nuts on the two back wheels


Three of the studs where cracked of course!!!

So i ditched the standard steering wheel for a leather levin/glanza one i had a BZR levin before this car and i missed the wheel just feels nicer


But i haven't thrown away the standard wheel because i like the keep her oem standard



Another thing to go was the shite alarm that came with it,


As i live close to a road every tractor or lorry that passes the car the alarm went off cant be dealing with that at 3 in the morning



So went off and got a good make with an immobilizer build in and that don't go off every 5 seconds



so with nearly all the stupid jobs done i started to enjoy the startet nice boost off her no smoke didn't burn oil


i think i got lucky with this 1 :)

Engine could do with a clean but no oil where there shouldn't be :)


So when on flee bay got a TRD oil cap and rad cap just 4 kicks


No real theme going to happen at this moment in time under the bonnet too many idea been thrown at me from all round


God you can do to much to these little pocket rockets

Also i got rid of the standard spark plug leads when i was doing a mini service on her i say they where in her from day 1


Heard good things about magnecor 8mm plug leads so picked up a set



More to follow in time of course :)
