1996 LHD 3dr EP91 "Fifi"


Recommended Posts

The euro dash is different, and looks better imo... We have a desmister switch and a blank on the ep91's so it's good to go... Also mate, on your clock light dimmer, is the plug behind the dash already or I have to wire it?? Cheers

Winter came to Finland and it means that I have to work more and less car building :/

IMG_20161103_174851_zpscmu672rb.jpg

So wintertyres have to use and I'm using my old gunmetall painted 14" Mille Miglias from 90's.

IMG_20161104_181939_zpsqnnmlktj.jpg

Added some used Bosch Rallye 225 highbeams for this darkness.

Extra bracket under registerplate and one extra support bar in the middle, so bumber didn't shake so much. And on top also, had to do bended support bars because of mask and hood.

Then I bougt "Whitestars" Olli's old jdm tail lights bottoms and he keeped his lenses. Plan was to do some bigger driving lights.

IMG_20161206_101620_zps01sumk24.jpg

Cutted walls litle bit so light can glow bigger area.

IMG_20161206_104554_zpspgmjb3vj.jpg

Ready for painting.

IMG_20161206_130038_zpsi4aprxci.jpg

IMG_20161206_131014_zpsu9o6nkzj.jpg

Old with half tinting film vs new bottoms.

IMG_20161206_133150_zpsefdmxjxa.jpg

Modded lights.

IMG_20161206_140512_zpsk31mnp7m.jpg

Not big difference, but maybe somebody will notice :)

IMG_20161206_141353_zpsc1qw9bu2.jpg

IMG_20161206_141344_zpsikgbnkhp.jpg

Frozen one. I used to have full tinting, but like this half tinting more.

Planning to change my SW20 MR2 seats from my EP70 to EP91, because I'm going to put this car under work. Too new seats for this car :)

20160415_174110_zpsgxi6wzes.jpg

I bought these AW11 MR2 to my EP70, more 80's look.

IMG_20161204_191719_zpsjr2poabg.jpg

Almost like new ones, 100 both seats.

Then winter waxing, washed underbody and engine room also.

IMG_20161209_202323_zpsvzoysuqp.jpg

Still n/a and horrible color, this is my daily now, no hurry, about 140 000 km driven.

IMG_20161209_232703_zpsjnjljv4z.jpg

Started to make new floor, wanna raise it little bit, so can put stereo and tool systems better under lids. Drilled few holes and used few factory holes to bolt rods lightly.

IMG_20161209_223924_zpsapcilz2n.jpg

This only evo1, plans can be changed.

Last spring I asked Olli "Whitestar" if he wants to sell me his old TTE wheels from his Glanza, time wasn't right. Drooled those many years in the Helsinki when I was garbage man, casually saw his car parked on street. Day came and I met him at American car show, where his beatiful car was standing :) Here was the wheels, sorry Olli I tooked screenshot :p

Then the day came and Olli asked if I would like to buy those wheels, of course. I missed one wheels once and very rarely seen thise in Finland. Always liked those 90's wheels, don't know why, most of people maybe thinks that those are ugly or too old modell. Wheels seen also on HyperRev book, 15x7" size.

IMG_20161204_223003_zpsyomxcylf.jpg

Day finally came and I collected 16x7,5 ET35 wheels from Ollis garage, thanks man :D

Wheels came to home and unpainted center panels also. Wheels are powercoated and panels are plastic so not powercoated. Some scratches on them, don't care, gona paint those anyway.

IMG_20161205_212103_zpsylwaeoia.jpg

155/80R13 vs 195/40R16

IMG_20161210_155806_zpsu3o2pvem.jpg

My last summer Renault wheels 195/50R15

IMG_20161210_160625_zpswquelmi5.jpg

Not looking good as Ollis car :/

Started to fix panel screw holes, all cracked and not fixed well. Earlier fixed over with plastic padding, didn't hold at all when I knifed those little bit.

IMG_20161210_135052_zpsgiixktyr.jpg

Cutted cylinders also away, so can glue some better system wider area, so panels will not drop ever. Have to figure something later...

Started to sand these by hand, horrible 2-3h job at least per wheel :/ Using 320 grid paper, hard shit this powercoating. Gona change colour, this pepsodent green isn't my colour for this car, have to get more universal color for my all Toyotas, maybe someone is guessing what is my color?

Tyres came today, very fast service. Only two alloys prepared for painting :/

IMG_20161219_154950_zpsubjozij2.jpg

These gona be streched tyres, bodys are not so wide what I compared. Hopefully looks good, I'm maybe too oldschool for this...

IMG_20161219_154828_zpsoip8tlw4.jpg

Baked 38/16 and now it's 51/16, not bad.
