From 4AGE to 4AGE

Posted in Car stuff on October 3, 2009 by Stanley Carter

I went and had a look on my Charmant’s progress, and the guys are doing a pretty fast job, as you can see from my 1st picture below, my engine is now taken out from the car:

My 4AGE has been dismantled as well, with the parts such as the camshafts being scattered around the floor:

And the main culprit is my Cylinder, the one from the far right is basically f*ckup up, I only have my K550i so I can’t snap some really crisp and detailed pictures of it though, so this will just have to do for now:

And here is a look on my replacement engine, some of the essential parts such as the TVIS has been transplanted, and it’s basically ready to be placed into my Charmant real soon:

I’ll need to get new Engine oil and filter today, and the engine should be able to start up this afternoon, let’s hope everything is working fine, then I can focus on other stuffs, such as air cond (it’s hot in Sibu!), fuel pump as well as E brake.

While I was snapping those pictures, the mechanic showed me another sleeper project of his, a Toyota Crown that was parked at the side of the shop:

Truly a monster spec sleeper, popped up the hood and you’ll see the omgwtfbbq 2JZ inside, dayuummmnnn~~

Sadly the engine is the only impressive part of this Crown, as it has an automatic transmission and no LSD, mmmm…..
