Hello again. time for a quick update.
finally i received the truck from the shop. drove it about 5 hours to my uncles house where i will continue to work on it, that is only about 1 hour away. ( that is apparently a small distance here in the philippines as i am learning)
all in all i have to be happy. the sr20 has balls for sure, the power is great. mountain roads will no longer slow this sunny pickup down one bit.
so yes, i did the sr20det, disc brake front conversion( mitsu. eclipse) rack n pinion and various small things.
still to be done, wheel alignment, that is happening today. tune up on engine, plugs, oil, clean the MAF, stuff like that. it started to have hesitation under heavy accell on the way home, i suspect it is spark or MAF. they used a silvia fuel pump so i dont suspect any problems with fuel delivery.
i have an AEM Wideband sensor unit that i will also install, to ensure that the fuel system is working properly. i will change the exhaust this week and also prep it for the AEM unit.
the new wheels and tires 14x7 banana type mags, they were quite a bit larger than stock even being 14" diameter. i think the width is what really caused issues, also, they are a 0 offset so i did have some rubbing on the front fenders. simple enough, had the place remove fenders, i will trim and mount some flares to compensate for the extra width of the tires.
FMIC will be next, right now they mounted it in the fender well, i don't know why.. haha but anyway, that will be going out the window and install something much more classy.

that brings me to a question. i want to get something for the front end, bumper/spoiler set up. i suppose i am just looking in the wrong places or i do not know how to word my searches properly...
some tips or tricks helping me to find all of the options for front end cosmetic stuff would be GREATLY appreciated.
i also do intend on uploading some more photos/videos. don't worry! =)
it is very satisfying to see people turn their head, double take, when they see this truck fly by and hear the BOV ahha! lovely. currently it has TWO mufflers on it.. i told them straight pipe! haha i think a lot of my instructions were just lost in translation, my fault for not speaking the lang fluently.
5 months later though, finally to a point where I can work on it. very happy very very happy.
