  1. Dude, 12k for the SD?!! Man! I got mine for 4k.. So sad..!
  2. Hi, I had the same problem a week ago. I have eclipse AVN110MRC with missing SD card. Tried almost all car audio guys including B@-_A.. but had no luck. So, tried to get down an SD card from Yahoo.japan. Contacted a Japanese frined and she bought it for me. But will take few weeks to arrive. I would certainly try to help you out if the SD card matches your model.
  3. Man, good that you ve stripped her to the bare metal. btw, you are going to put BMW smiley headlamps right ? Does it need any mods to Capri's hood ?
  4. Yeah men.. That is true.. Haste does not make anything right !
  5. Dude, I might abandon the stock (Crown) radiator due to the SIZE issue. I am too in doldrums figuring out what radiator to install. Tried several angles and i may put it oblique. Btw..i ve seen POWER HUMPS of different shapes on different Capri models. Donno they were originals or custom fabrications. My tinker made one few weeks ago and it was horrible !!
  6. Bro what you meant was a (water) radiator right ? I got a 3 core Crown Majesta radiator down along with the motor. I think it is an aftermarket product. Ordered an FMIC assuming it will benefit more to the motor. and You are right about space limitation. What i did was, replaced entire front stock reinforcement metal sheets of the car with a new H iron frame. My tinker assured the stability of the custom frame. The GOD only knows what would happen if i crash into a tree !! . Will see machan. THe only predictable thing about this project is its unpredictability. BTW are you going to make a POWER HUMP on the hood ???
  7. After a pause got down these stuff from ebay. 1JZ-GTE VVti comes with a MAF instead of a MAP sensor. There was an Asian seller who sold the MAF for approx. 100$ ! A turbo timer !!.. I Guess its little too early to get down that ! But could not miss the cheap ebay listing. Going to install them after i am done with the wiring. Placed an order for a front mounted intercooler at Kapxxka shop. Throttle body had a small dent - got repaired at Edxxxxxghe's. BTW the car is being prepped for engine installation. Will update the car pics soon.
  8. Oh man, where do i begin to complement ? !, There's lot of goodies you ve got down there.. Sweet...

  10. Thats my Wife's car, that actually belongs to her...i borrowed it from her today to go to work. and Komi i mentioned your name to Vvti, n he said that you were there yesterday, VVti.. Its a real pleasure knowing you mate , will return the rims in the evening
  11. Guys, Hoonigan, i followed your footsteps to place an order for a pair of Kumho Ecsta 245x50 R16 for the rear. And sold the existing 215 on Ik$$$ site for a less. However the deal didn't really happen the way i wanted. Ok.. Long story short, I needed to bring the car back home to slot the engine in . I am planning to do the initial work at home with my cousin's help. I needed a pair of tires something closer to 245x50 R16 to re-modify the arches. So used 225x16s were my best guess until i get the 245's. Saw an advert and phone this guy to pick up a used pair of 225s. (Guess who i bumped into ..? VVTi !) He gave me a pair tires for FREE !!.. Thanks again for the help dude ! I guess i did not disclose your identity.
  12. Thanks supra, I too thought that the motor wouldn't fit. We have already made the engine bay bit more spacious. Then some reinforcement to the front end required to hold the face of the car. Btw can we see sum pics of ur beautiful mr2 s..hmm??
  13. Machans, I am trying my best to avoid a rebuild. Its bit too early to think about it as i need to get down the map sensor etc. to start the motor. i would love some decent mods on the motor but may not go to extremes. Next in order, mounting it
  14. A long time awaited dream came true today. Still cannot believe that i bought one! And its too good to be true to me . Got down a 1jz-GTE with R154 transmission and brought it home. All those ducts were covered with shopping bags from CFC. still the car is at the garage. I am looking elsewhere over my usual garage to put the motor in . I am just euphoric.. that's the best way to explain the situation here.. Enjoy the pics
  15. While eagerly waiting to bring the motor home, i saw this at De Saram Pl- Col 10 a week ago.. Think its a Greneda. In good shape, but the face! man!, it was too ruined!! If sum 1 could save her ? and bring her back to former glory !!
  16. WoW.. nice engine bay.. very clean..
  17. Might i ask you to post a pic of those switches sir ?
  18. Hey Komi, Does this fit into your definition mate ?
  19. thanks Davy, i might change some of the gauges in the future. You see that middle insteument cluster is less dainty but its the only thing that i could get calibrated (through the manufacturer) to the wheel diameter of the capri. It has all the indicators that i needed from the gear positions to fuel warning etc etc. i 100% preoccupied with this nw
  20. Thanks Supra.. I will update every tiny bit from here.
  21. Bro, Yes, i am going to repaint the car in white. There's no other choice for me either. And I ve not cleared the motor yet. Actually, a guy from Panthikawatte does that for me. Can't wait to see what has arrived (bit nervous too)..
  22. Starting now! Man, how do i change the name of the topic "Sus. upgrade" to Project Capri B ?
