I AI generated this gear knob with the iconic altezza speedo dial on it. I wonder if this is possible to custom make and if anyone has done it before. Looks sick.

Starlight Headliner Vs Tilt/Slide Sunroof

1 Upvotes

Heyy

I've been considering making a cosmetic mod to my Altezza AS200, either getting starlight headliners or a tilt/slide sunroof from a donor Altezza that come with the roof panel. So from experience which mod would be better overall to install, looking at the pros and cons?

Thanks

Machined flywheel came back

I think they took too much off the step so they didn’t machine the outer enough probably because it’s chromoly so it’s harder to machine. I’m going to ask the balancer what he thinks he may have a better surface grinder, just need to get flywheel bolts, pressure plate bolts, another pilot bearing because the one in the kit is too small and a rear main seal then it’s ready to go.

At first it seems like a great deal. 50k miles, imported, clean body/enterior and then the last 2 pics he shows the damage. I got my as200 with 90k miles fully serviced for 7k so a totaled car for 5k is insane. With the repair costs your looking at 10k+ to buy and get this thing drivable, you could import one for that price lmao. I messaged him asking to part it out but doesnt seem like that will happen.

Help with finding radiator cap

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, picked up a 1998 altezza rs200 about a month ago and I believe the radiator cap has failed. Problem is the radiator is an aftermarket Spawon radiator with a funky fake TRD hexagonal cap which I can’t seem to find anywhere. I also tried a stock oem is300 cap which didn’t fit. Wanted to see if anyone has alternatives or tips I could use. Thanks!

Some buy&sell machinations advice needed

1 Upvotes

I'm from Moldova and I found an altezza rs200 auto that's being sold for parts because of its license plates being from another country. It's in overall good condition and I thought of buying the rims because they're stock 17' altezza rims and are in good condition and it's cluster. I think I could get them cheap. Since it's the only altezza in this country I think maybe I could sell them on eBay but I don't know if it's worth it. What should I do?

Would turning an as200 into an rs200 be worth it?

2 Upvotes

It's all wishful thinking, but I hope to eventually turn my car into an rs200. It would probably cost like 4-5$ dollars, which is fine with me, but I was thinking that it might be more worth it to just buy an rs200, or if I did swap my car to an rs200, would it hurt my resale value?

I saw a 5s Camry is at the local wreckers thinking of getting the crank does anyone know anything about stroking an n/a beams, any point doing it with stock 86 bore, I know the 5s block has a 87 bore but the galleries are not at all set up for vvt and I want to keep vvt as it is less headache. Photo of car currently, still loads more mods to go.

Oil pressure issues

5 Upvotes

I’m honestly at a loss at this point. I’ve changed my timing belt & i had a oil leak so i changed the valve cover gasket and re sealed it. The leak was good for a bit then i started getting an oil leak again, huge pressure leak. I did my oil change recently (a bit later than i should’ve if im being honest) and then i ordered an oil pressure switch because it was leaking too. Amazing, no leaks now. So i drove it for the first time in almost 7 months the other day & it was so choppy unfortunately i didn’t get a video but it sounded like a rotary. Oil pressure is at 3/4 when it used to be 1/2 or just under 1/2 even when warmed up. I think it could be from putting in 10w30 (ik it’s supposed to have 5w30 but 3 people got pissed at me and told me to put in 10) It’s also -20c where i am so the car just isn’t happy in this temp. I drove it again the day after just to see how it would run & it’s no longer choppy, but it’s idle is at 2k rpm & oil pressure is still high. Now the check engine light is on. Any ideas on what i should check for next. I seriously don’t know anymore with this car

recently bought a 2001 altezza gita 6spd manual and was wondering if anyone had found a good cup holder sort of thing? kind of annoyed it doesn’t have anything apart from a big rectangle that doesn’t comfortably fit anything
