    Default toyota soarer MZ21 7MGTE

    been on here quiet some time and never put up one of these built a car and never took photos so decided ti give it a go.....a lot of you know the car and it is clean but theres just a few bits after adding up and are starting to annoy me.....the skirts are a different color to the rest of the gold on the car and i clipped the front bumper on day so they came off to be sprayed......the wing was pushed in before and is starting to show rust so off it came too






    kit and wing off



    the wheels if there staying on the car i dont know yet might change them but either way the centers need done



    the skyline gtr breaks are red but very faded and also need pads....had this at home so y not



    the downpipe has been in a bad way for quiet some so off it came to get a new piece welded in and heat rapped



    the exhaust manifold needed a gasket and theres also a annoying water leak from in behind the turbo so next it all came off




    out with the water pump and next is off with the head might aswell do it all at once....have to take a trip to toyota this week to see what parts they still stock for these as a lot would have been diss continued so will update after that

    Nice rig dude. Not too many of them knocking around , just curious to know, are they deff GTR breaks?? Look more like normal skyline ones to me. I though all gtr skylines had brembo's.

    been thinking and thinking and chatting with a few people and the 7m is coming out tomorrow clean up the engine bay and stuff pricing a full rebuild kit for the 7m and if its more expensive than a 1jz conversion the 7m will be staying out

    Why don't you just drive it on and if it dies then go down the rebuild/replace route? Makes no sense in my head!
