I met the Paisley team back in early 2000 when I was searching for a shop to restore my engine bay from the fire attack. I already knew of Craig from the race track, but at the shop I met Dan “Mr. Paisley”, and Rashame whom are the mechanics of Paisley Automotive. Also met Darryl and Zack who both works in the office.
There were a lot of changes I had in mind besides the turbo and I came there with a trunk load of parts which consisted of:
Custom Turbonetic Turbo
Custom Spearco Air to Air Intercooler
Clutch Master stage 3 clutch kit
JDM TRD LSD unit
JDM TRD quick/ short shifter
EP71 Distributor (thanks to spy in Jamaica)
Summit battery relocation kit
Front/ rear chamber plates
Front anti sway bar
Crane Cam Fireball LX92 Coil
Flex slim line Fans (2)
Coming from the ct12 Toyota turbo, to the new t3-t4 turbo was going to be a night and day difference in horsepower. In order to use this turbo, a custom manifold had to be made so it could have clearance. I sold the stock manifold and plumbing which would bolt up to any 3ee Tercel engine.
Terzilla was there for about three weeks before I showed up with my 3ete motor completed by Lars of Scorpion Race Engines. The motor and trans was quickly dropped in and my car was running the very next day without exhaust. The following week the slim fans and Intercooler was installed.
Next was to get the header and plumbing done so arrangements were made to take my car by VRP.
