Clinternational Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Looool colin... been driving the car most of the time and fixing other peoples cars,Well MR-2 Text sucks without pictures hahaha. But it's a daily project car.... Had the turbo attached to the car but not connected to the intake manifold.The turbo seal wen't bad and it started to throw oil into the exhaust.So the turbo had to be refurbished... with new upgraded seals and 360 bearing Luckily i had an old turbine housing laying arround from the earlier turbo i've bought. Had some hurrie as it is an daily driving car haha. Cleaned the sleeve real nice. The cause of the turbo was blowing smoke is that there were carbon build up between the gap from the seal.. New bearings insterted. 360 degree bearing but it was an faulty one. They use this one at the workshop, the hole got an wrong offset for my T4 turbo. Now the turbo is laying around like 2 months needs to be balanced before i will put it back onto the manifold... Also replaced the idler pulley and tensioner, with the help from an tywrap haha lol. The old ones werent bad at all but changed them anyway, allthough the koyo's were better then the new SKF. Things to do!!!Get the turbo balanced and mounted.Do an new paint job on the Ray's.Getting an intercooler.And connect the turbo to the intake. New radiator and fan needed.

Clinternational Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 (edited) OEPS i forgot to take out the balanced and lightweight flywheel ( 4efte ) crapAnd also the TRD Clutch and pressure plateThe gearbox was also flushed and like new And the bottomblock was still in the car. refurbished 2 years ago. And the special trailer arm bearings.... I try not to think of it.... as it still hurts. Bought the new car Paseo year of build 99 for 345 quid.... With no MOT so it is a little challenge.Things that needed to be fixed were:Rust on the rear brakelines.and the cv joint boot was torn.Also headlight polish because they were a bit yellow.And exhaust mounting fixed. Also fitted newTiming belt old one was 10,000 miles over. and a year too old. Tensioneridler pulley ( old one was busted )Oil sealCrankshaft sealSerpetine ribbed belt for power steering and waterpump and alternator.New motor oil Castrol GTX 5w40New Gearbox oil Castrol multi 75w90New gearbox axle seal ( long one ) Logitech surround sound dolby pro logic into the car. Subwoofer in the trunk panel between the seats. Front oem speaker in the door is good to go with the surround set added the tweeter and making them both 8ohm.The rear speaker adaptor plate are the only 2 ones left of the set. Fitted ford fiesta tweeters into the triangle Fitted renault hazard horns duo to the terrible sound of the oem toyota horn. Added this, added remote trunk opener with an doormotor to the tailgateadded immobilizer. So i got 2 instead of 1 lol.... added new function when unlocking the car the headlights go on.added Running lights to the car added Xenon 6000K Repainted the cusco lateral rod with spherical bearings on both sides. Adjusting it to the oem length because the car hasen't been lowered yet. Today changed the wishbone on both sides and hub and housing. Driveshaft busted Car was always repaired at toyota lol Old vs new Also cleaned the stuff in the rear Paseo on Volk RAYS Engineering 15" with michelin pilot 195 50 15 tyres Also the rear licence plate holder has a stainless steel polished surrounding. My starlet old wishbone + hub + driveshafts were transfert onto the paseo. Same as the Rear swaybar from whiteline which has a new paint job also. Need to change the exhaust bends because my lower arm bar won't fit Also did an compression test on all cylinders. it was all arround the 180 PSI. So the engine is good to go.

Calum122 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Aww no! What happened to the EP71. Can't believe the amount of work that went into that. Very much enjoyed reading through that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clinternational Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) Too many memories because of my exgirlfriend. And i wanted something new like another project.The funny thing is she started to cry when i send her the photos when the vorklift took the P7 away. I still feel dumb i remember that i also left the supra jdm fuel pump in the ep71 lol. Now i have plenty work on the paseo Batterie relocated. Also the 10 inch active subwoofer from logitech Had to replace the air filter but did not have the oem filter. Also added intake temp probe and display. Tailgate release motor Wishbone with spherical bearing on the rear looking for an full size saddle clamp but no result yet, and front TRD bushing. To add a more castor ( shopping cart wheel idea ) and sharp steering. Weird stock mounting plate Some old skool maintenance, these are from my 1986 P7 and still with no play oem and very very old. Fixed rear sway bar from whiteline Removed the sand building op in that area. Preparing to spray the brackets and calipers for the brake upgrade. These were also on my EP7. With an big 60mm piston Edited August 15, 2017 by Clinternational Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clinternational Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) Fitted the lower arm bar to the paseo m18x1.5 bung welded into the pipe i need to know if the throttle bodies keep the AFR the same. Calipers in the primer, Sensor needs to be cleaned, to do so i use a torch on butaan and burn the sensor clean. Also work on regular lambda probes. These only have to be replaced if the warming circuit is busted. Find out that one lower ball joint has play, ( i thought not ) but check it out extra on the hydraulik lift with an tire iron. New replacements are crap they die after 1 year maybe 2. So i choose for an second hand off an p9 with 60.000 miles on it. New at toyota 60 quid lol.
