TSZ 1MZ-FE, The project car Options

[TimeslideZ]

Hello, my name is Toua Vang, I currently live in MN and have always been a Toyota my whole life.
Some of you know this car from before as this was previously snapshotgt's Celica.

The story of acquiring the car:
After my 5GC GTS and my S/T 20V AE102G, I was in the market for something unique (that's Toyota) and rust free so that meant travelling out of MN.
Long story short, almost got a camry all-trac from the west coast or a 5gc from the east coast.
Ended up in south coast to get Colin's 1MZ 6GC. 18 hour drive home and my very first ticket (speeding); totally worth it.

First mod: 20mm/25mm spacers on the front/rear with the 7gc wheels. Nearly sits flush with the vehicle.



Other things I have done so far:
Audio system: A small sub and amp
New intake filter: Coned shaped K&N filter to replace the old cylindrical one.
Euro riser blocks: Reps from Teo, highly recommend his stuff.
Wheels and tires: Fixed my brother's curb-rash 5-Zigen FN01RC and new paint w/ some new Yokohama S Drives.

higher temps even with an alloy 1mz??. I saw the video by driving 4 answers regarding alloy vs iron blocks. each have the pros and cons. I see

i get excited for builds like these because there are only a handfu on the web. THE ST205 builds arent as exciting to see as 10 years ago

oh well it's not that hot on the daily operating temp. but i know the problem w/ the supercharger is the eventual heat soak (after hard driving) so having a vented hood should help out with it. Plus I also have a small dent on the hood due to the battery holder being a little too tall. Still need to re-locate that as well one of these days the the rear.

speaking of heat, i also ordered parts for the A/C system minus the lines for both the daily and this car. $1300 give and take for oem + whatever there wasn't oem for. man denso compressor at $340.... so expensive.
