Yesterday I replaced the console speaker in my LX, and cleaned up the mess under shifter console. Found 90 cents in coins hiding in there. Now 6 of the 7 original speakers are new and improved. Decided to do this after getting a replacement...
Pulled out the rest of the intercooler/hoses, all pretty dirty with a layer of corrosion. I plan on polishing the aluminum tubes to get them looking nice before installing into the 80

I will spray over the top of the overspray when I coat it all...
You won’t get 275whp without upgrades. Stock an FTE is a bit lack luster, best you could expect stock is 120rwhp. That’s at sea level in perfect running condition without a bunch of soot clogging it up. My new 1FZFE produces 115hp being full time...

Finished painting the air box and started install
I don’t really have the proper hoses to go to a stock turbo and also don’t really like that the current one isn’t sitting flush. I don’t need to drive it so will either swap the aftermarket turbo...
Never Realized for $55 that I could turn my Cores into this.
Do not pay $100 for the Napa Reman like I did, when you can get this for $60.
I would get a New Bajo Bolt for the Brake Line and Washers while you are there. I forgot.
