Project Crown: Wishlist + Future Plans
Parts awaiting install:
- TRD 3-point front underbody bracing
While I doubt this piece will do much, it can't hurt, and definitely will add baller points when I jack the car up!
- Carrozzeria Pioneer RD-038 line noise filter
Purchased from Up Garage during my 2023 Japan trip, this nifty little device supposedly will rid the audio system from its radio static - a slight problem the Crown currently possesses.
- Trust GReddy GTT3 turbo timer
This turbo timer should aid the 90s-00s' look I'm after for the interior, however, as its BNIB, I'm not sure if I have the guts to use it...
- Genuine Toyota Timing Kit
Just a bit of overdue maintenance; timing belt, Aisin water pump, tensioner, hydraulic tensioner, cam seals, front main seal, rocker cover gaskets, rocker cover ventilation hose, VVTi gear washer, Mitsuboshi accessory belt
- Koyo Wheel Bearing
Some uncalled for maintenance. Unfortunately, my RR wheel bearing looks to be on it's way out so a new Koyo (genuine Toyota manufacturer) wheel bearing and a genuine Toyota wheel bearing is here, ready to be installed!
Wishlist:
1. Mature High Spark Japan coil-packs
These coil-packs should be a good upgrade over stock and will be preventable maintenance.
2. Kazama Auto SPL Version 2 knuckles + JZS161 outer tie rod ends
Another preventative maintenance piece, while replacing the lower ball-joints, might as well upgrade them for more responsive steering.
3. Blitz KKK K1-380V bolt-on turbo
If one of these little units come up on Yahoo!, it'd be, for me, the ultimate rare turbo set-up for the Crown!
4. Toyota Altezza SXE10 BE FREE GT Z3 side mirrors
With just a few new bolt holes, these mirrors should bolt onto the Crown with some light modification - giving it a nice finishing touch after all the aero.
5. Toyota Altezza OEM front subframe brace
This cheap upgrade should give the handling a small gain.
6. Aero Tech Rando Ryu Lux headlight eye-lids
Just like the BE FREE mirrors, its the small pieces that make a car stand out.
