Loving every episode mate, the detail and info you put in is great. A technicalities episode at the end would be sweet. Can’t wait to see the first start. How’s trucker caps for merch?
Hey mate yes it came with the kit. It’s literally exact swap out for the factory one and come with very simple brackets. I’ll see if I have specific footage. I’ll show how it fits up.
@onstreetgarage yeah, looks very familiar 😅, main difference is the hyperflex vs flipped. just a heads up, engineering anything other than superior is basically a no go. Wanted to go either long arms or 4 link, but couldn't get anyone to sign off, also the down side of 4" 35s 😆
I didn't like your chopped grill. The custom grill with the big Toyota GR lettering look pretty cool - blending together the 100 series surround with the GR grill centre.
Getting close now and looks great, I went the same way with PDI FMIC and TC, + UFI, had same issues with IC piping, no complaints on performance of everything.. have noticed however in hotter months, that the AC condenser gets less airflow at idle and doesn't perform as well at it used to. I haven't sealed the 'gap' around the Rad so the fan could pull more volume thru past IC and TC yet .. might be a consideration if not already planned. NB love the number plate for your own JDM import model, was thinking a cap/shirt that has FTE 105 on it would be unique, for these nominally 'Aus only' hand built machines? Perhaps outline map of Oz with FTE/105 inside it as a logo/emblem?
I’m scraping any spare minute I can to get it going now mate so keen. Yeah I have some adhesive foam to seal between radiator. I didn’t in my 1hz 105 and it made a noticeable difference. Something exclusive for the fte 105 is a great idea! My Mrs is working on some designs for me so might try sort out some limited runs for hats/shirts and see how we go. Cheers Craig!
I’ve bought a fair bit of stuff from Japan in the past. I might even put a video together showing a few different ways to show the different options. Mostly buy off yahoo, crooober etc and there’s a couple different shipping methods I might show comparisons
Dream rig, ultimate build, just love every bit of the process
You are getting excited, good to see as you approach getting it started & bringing her home. 👍
It’s looking like a complete car now mate very excited. Can’t wait to hear that fte and new turbo fire up 😂

Cheers Colin! Glad you’re enjoying!
A couple others have mentioned caps so might get onto that! Cheers mate
🔥
Thanks Will! ❤️
Great video, love the build
A modesty blind for the radiator 😀 love quirky Japanese additions... top build
😂 I hadn’t considered that haha! It was definitely a suprise to find it tucked up in behind everything, Thankyou I so close to turning that key!
@@onstreetgarage Like finding an onsen in a desert 😆.. cant wait to hear the beast...
Does the transmission cooler come with the intercooler?
Can you show the hookup?
Thanks

@ nice, I’m looking at upgrading my 100 series 1HDFTE. PDI look alright.👌
Yep I’m very happy with the pdi gear. Will be tuning the fte this year so will
Have some specs on how the pdi gear goes
Do you have any plans to change the suspension? outback bandits make nice custom grills but i just deleted mine
Yeah the suspension it came with is decent but I plan over time to go over it all, research what’s good and fine tune it to what I want

Yeah nice, I haven’t seen that before, might do some research and see what I can dig up, sounds like a good look

How would you go about buying grills from japan? wanting one from there too just don’t know how to get one
