Seb Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 Looks tidy mate,What else you got palnned for it?GaryThanks.Plan wise, nothing crazy like a jet fighter turbo or anything As close to 200bhp as we can with it being reliable. New year will see new exhaust system, suspension, some fancy bits under the bonnet, going to spray the rocker cover....thats about it. If we can stretch we are looking at some Rays alloys instead of these rota's.First things first though, need to sort the heating out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Looks nice mate always liked this car Pah complaining about organic clutches, try a TRD paddle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seb Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 A litlle update as its been way to cold to do anything.Car had sufferd a bad electrical fault and with the connector removed it leaked coolant into the footwell. To avoid any damage i simply took the heating pipes off where they enter the car and joined them together, so we had no water entering the heater matrix for over 6 months.Managed to get another matrix and dash pannel but quickly realised there are two different types!! Two types being a manual and a automatic heat control, auto one for climate control.Day before yesterday i stripped the interior and fitted the new manual heater matrix and pannel, and as if by magic we now have some heat !!!I didnt take many pics, but when stripping the old matrix i could see that it had corroded and this is where the leak was coming from. As you can see by the pics the units are slightly different, but this is easy to fix, just cut the bend off the new unit.Few picsNew unit on the left and old one on the rightPicture dosnt do this justice, but believe me, its rusted/corroded to hell and usless!Wasnt to hard to do... realy pleased all works!!

Seb Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 nice work bud, i am doing this next weekend not looking faward to it at all any tips?? another thing i have a auto GT is there a specific matrix i will have to get then?? abit confused on what you mean there?do you have air con with climate control mate or just air con. Easiest way to tell is remove the small inner heater switch pannel, ( cold to hot slider / fan speed slider ) and look on the back. There is a yellow connector and it will either say manual 600 or auto 600. Auto 600 means the car has climate control. For me other then above i cant explain much better, just its a pain in the ass to have climate control and the wire to the matrix alone is £130 plus vat from toyota!! Its easy enough to convert to manual, as this is what i have done. No air con now and no climate control, who needs it anyway.Another way to tell is by looking in the engine bay, finding the water pipes that enter the car ( behind inlet manfold i think ) and see which way the left pipe bends. If it bends towards the floor its a auto with climate control.If your close to me im more then willing to lend a hand.Main tip is make a note of how the main wire loom goes, otherwise getting the dash back on is a pain in the ass. Also the wire for the clock!! Otherwise its a piece of cake Also just to add, ive just had my autobarhn manifold welded up as its cracked ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Does it get annoying driving with a paddle clutch ?I wouldnt say so, not once your used to it Ahhh I hate pictures of dashes out it scares me lol Oh and save up for a decent manifold before the AB shite breaks again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackStar Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I was never to sure on white GTs but ive changed my mind seeing yours.My paddle clutch is ok, but when i come to change it i want be putting one back in, driving around towns abit of a nightmare.Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
