Toyota Altezza SR20DET Daily [Archive]

Right here how it goes, I wanted a daily driver for the simple things in life, collecting my son and taking the dogs to the beach but big suprise it couldn't be standard so with a few bob and an Austin Mini swapped, I collected a very clean low mileage Toyota Altezza.

However being friends with one or Ireland's best drifters / fabricators was bound to be a recipe for disaster LoL Thanks to Martin Ffrench I now have a car to be proud of with more to come. Here is my build diary from start to kinda finished.

P.S. I only started this build Oct 2010

Then came the easy part, fitting the engine and box, you see Martin has already claimed world fame with his crazy builds and had an SR20 Altezza track car so it was simply a case of copying engine and gearbox mounts for my own road car ! Roll the arches now, run a return fuel line as the Altezza's only have a feeder, splicing the fans to the S13 alloy rad and making up brackets for the cooler and rad...

On went the fab work making everything up to suit the car so as to give all the parts a factory fit appearance, knowing the engine would outshine the look of the car it came time to get some proper wheels under it, so I ripped the wheels off my FD3S for the Tezza and got to work. Hello Racing Harts, 19 x 9JJ up front and 19 x 10JJ at the rear...

I am a picture whore so time came to fit a few more bits and get plenty of snaps as I was happy out to drive her... Unfortunately I can't fit the Brembo 8pots with the new wheels as the smallest disc they take is a 355 and the biggest disc that will go under the new Works is a 330 but said I would show you what I had planned...

Hello Works

Front : 18 x 11JJ / +10 offset / running a 255 / 35 ZR18
Rear : 18 x 13.5JJ / -10 offset / running a 315 / 30 ZR18 (N rated porsche tire)

I just threw on some KP61 over fenders to get an idea of the look, these will not actually be fitted, the new arches are yet to be decided...

Carrying one as a spare would be funny as the first pic shows and fitting them will be even more fun, check out the older 10JJ rears compared to the new 13.5JJ rears, ouchie.... Slapped them on, threw on an over fender and even the puppy had to have a nose, thats all I have for now folks but as soon as I find over fenders to suit the car, I will get out the angle grinder and start to chop her up, promise LoL

its different but still real dope.

im guessing you used a jumper harness? would it be the same one that the 240sx guys use to put 2jz's into s13/14's?

Thats what the S13.5 is for ;)

Having the arches right over the wheels was one thing but have them sitting right against the body was next :
http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu5/Kruizer_666/Toyota%20Altezza%20SR20/0188.jpg

Split the wheels and got to the shite job of removing the clearcoat and refreshing the dish :

http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu5/Kruizer_666/Toyota%20Altezza%20SR20/0190.jpg

Happy with the lines the arches went back into primer again LoL :
http://i628.photobucket.com/albums/uu5/Kruizer_666/Toyota%20Altezza%20SR20/0191.jpg

And got my attention back on the wheels, first sanded with 1000 grade, then 1200, then 1500 and all that is left now is the 2000 grade and then out with the buffer to polish them up, will never do another set of wheels again !!!

One of the split rims was leaking air so had to rip off the tire, re seal her and throw it back on the car, looks good on the space saver no ? Next hassle was getting her onto the truck using planks of wood, eventually went up on the front but the rear wheels just spit them out LoL Had to use them due to the exhaust being so close to the ground at that angle, got her all strapped up and off she went to TDP... Looking forward to getting her back mapped and ready to rock :)

So while the car was getting touched up I decided to get a new bonnet, lucky for me this one came up for sale ;)

Removed the stickers and gave a quick clean :

It is a carbon fibre skin on a fibre glass frame :

Decide to rid the frame of some over spray with matt black, ties in with the weave of the carbon :

Repairs dude, a woman rana red light and it was either slap into her quarter panel or mount a foot path, I choose the foot path and got a mashed front bumper, front arch, wing, sideskirt and rear arch along with two dented Meisters...

Its only when you see your car parked beside ones of the lads cars you realise how wide it really is :

@ shark tales : Thanks dude, minding it like a baby :) Think I'll finish work early today to wash her and polish the wheels :)

@ young gunna : Thanks buddy :) Hope it stays that way...

@ mira_alex : don't be jealous, its nothing you can't build or better, just plan your build and I'm sure I'll be jealous at the end ;)

@ BennyJay : Thinking whether or not to sell it now, I want to finish my KP61 project...

She's up for sale now dude but till she goes I'll do a few more bits ;)

So now I remember why I hate car shows, there is always a panic coming up to them to sort the stupid stuff on your car. So I got out the boss kit I bought Estie (cheers mate) and went about fitting it and the Sparco wheel that I got off Mark. Wheel looks a bit grubby but its just the gay flash.

Next was the rear suspension, car was too low, lower than the front in fact so I decided to raise it slightly, Coilovers needed a good clean anyways and the perch rings weren’t as free as I would like along with some paint chips and marks. I got on Dave in Japanese Performance (The lad who seems to get most of my free cash at this stage :p) and ordered some nice new purple perch rings from HKS Europe, got them and they worked a treat, happy days, gave the Coilovers a clean adjust the height, although the new height makes the baby jesus cry ?

Next came the wheels, there was a little bit of over spray on the dish which made them a bit dull so out with the peak for the dish and G3 for the centre’s, not a major difference but it did brighten the one on the right up slightly compared to the left. Next was to throw on some decals I got from ‘The Stinky Rings’ to break the red and I can finally show you a better pic of the colour, I still have to put the red ones on the dish but all in good time, as in tomorrow LoL. Finally got onto CJT Motorsport in Ennis and got some Grayston wheels nuts, €75 for the bloody things but they do look well on the car.

Thanks HellaQuik

So I just got the car back together at 3am on Sunday morning with a sigh of relief, jumped into bed for a well deserved 2hr nap and up at 5am to be on the road for 6am to head to Japfest in Mondello Park.

Big thanks to The Stinky Rings for sorting my Works stickers for the wheels in time :)

I was up representing tezzaworld.com on the day, sound bunch and great to meet them in person, the below pic's were taken by Banan1984 from the site and I have to say a big thanks to him cause I think he captured the car better than I have to date. Also Team Chihuahua was there is force showing there support, excuse the dopey pic of me with the car but we all had to do it for the site...
