I’ve been away way longer than i realised.
After all of this i bought 2 more blue Cuore’s. One of them was purely for parts, the other was used a ‘‘temporary’’ ‘‘replacement’’ for the one in this build thread. I did some disability mods to this one for my mom (she needed a better seat and the ‘‘go fast pedal’’ on the left) because my moms car blew a headgasket and needed a replacement engine.
The parts car before.
The parts car after.
You can also see my moms car (the gray swift).
Here you can see my two nuggets before i sold my first.
After my moms car was fixed and she no longer needed mine, i sold it.
Not too long after i also sold the YRV.
I did quite a bit with my (now) current Cuore before i moved cities. Afterwards not too much but there were quite a few things in the pipeline.
Some of the major things i’ve done were (in no particular order)…
- Got some interior bits flocked
- Got my TR wheels FINALLY powdercoated
- Painted some interior bits
- Got a Sirion steering wheel and not much later a sports steering wheel
- The same with the seats… first a set of Sirion seats and again not much later a sports seat
- Painted my cluster and later bought a JDM cluster from a club member
- Installed electric mirrors
Here are some pics of the things i’ve done. (Some of them are poor quality cause i lost a lot due to a crashed HDD and needed to get them from my insta).
The cluster i’ve painted.
The JDM cluster (at day).
The JDM cluster (at night)
The flocked interior bits.
Fresh from the powdercoater.
I also painted the center trim, but i can’t find a decent pic of it. The center trim didn’t turn out great anyway so it’s fine with me.
My current steering wheel (the hub is from a Toyota Supra).
Before i moved i managed to total a vw polo with the Cuore.
All the Cuore had were some scuff marks, broken headlight and a dent in the fender
And because i saved the parts of the parts car i managed to fix the damage the next day.
As i said after moving i didn’t do much. But i bought a ton of stuff (before and after moving).
Some of which are…
- JDM heater panel with hazard switch
- JDM column switch without hazard switch
- L7 turbo windshield washer bottle
- A ton of new (stock) suspension parts
- New engine mounts
- A bunch of genuine O-rings and gaskets. And a few bolts.
- YRV brake calipers (and a genuine repair kit to rebuild it).
- A underseat tray (bought i from a club member who got it from japan).
- Electric folding mirrors (which are on the way from japan right now).
I’m sure i forgot plenty of stuff. But i’ll leave at this as this update is already long enough.
The things i was planning to do will probably never happen. Cause i recently came across a once in a lifetime opportunity. And am currently busy trying to make it happen, and when it happens my cuore will be sold (to a friend). It’s JDM and 100% Dai related, but that’s all i’m going to say for now.
And for those who already know…
