Little write up on the evolution of my car - phaebo - 13-01-2022
very nice work!
Little write up on the evolution of my car - Sparkystav - 16-03-2022
Well the same as jimbob I'm racing against time to get the car ready for mod nats.
I finished tidying up the engine loom:
![[Image: gyruna2e.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/gyruna2e.jpg)
Then stripped the engine back and took it to the engine builders so it could be honed etc ready for me to put it back together.
I've got a small problem to overcome, where one of my 'tuner nuts' broke, then whilst I was drilling the stud out a drill bit broke grr.
So I've removed the hub with the wheel still attached (not an easy job!), bought a new hub for the car and i now need to destroy the standard hub from behind to get my wheel back. It's much cheaper to buy a new hub from eBay than a new 10 inch wide 19" wheel!
I was only taking the wheels off to bleed all the new brake lines I've made.
![[Image: ututu8ym.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/ututu8ym.jpg)
I've since put better clips, and supports on the lines to hold them safely.
I've also decided to change round my interior. I did had a custom pod with 4 gauges and my racelogic controls that looked like this;
![[Image: mezuva4e.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/mezuva4e.jpg)
And a custom screen unit that fitted underneath a single DIN stereo.
![[Image: ty2ery4e.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/ty2ery4e.jpg)
But I decided its time for a change....
So I've bought a satnav unit and I've custom fitted a 7" screen into it
![[Image: u7e3e9yh.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/u7e3e9yh.jpg)
![[Image: e7yjybe6.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/e7yjybe6.jpg)
And I've gone back to a standard DIN and pocket design, though smoothed it out for a more OEM look.

![[Image: u4esy3e2.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/u4esy3e2.jpg)
The petrol button actually pops the boot but I can't find a Toyota button with the boot symbol the correct way round.
So my new centre console looks like this:
![[Image: 9aqe6a2u.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/9aqe6a2u.jpg)
As you can see there is no space for the gauges now, however my dash2 unit can take upto 4 inputs so I've added the signals to that for a cleaner look.
Except my wideband sensor which will be fitted into this custom unit when I've finished it:

![[Image: ebe8uby3.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/ebe8uby3.jpg)
My racelogic also now lives here:
![[Image: yvy8ava4.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/yvy8ava4.jpg)
![[Image: ja5e5egy.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/ja5e5egy.jpg)
![[Image: 9ume7e6u.jpg]](http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/28/9ume7e6u.jpg)
So the interior is now looking cleaner IMHO with less 'rocket ship' inside, but still all the data available to check the car is running sweet.

Shiny new k&n to help the engine breath!

We're also trailing some new bigger stickers that I've put on my new daily and the lex

Your going to miss the spaceship look mate :ohmy:
