mas12555 Posted July 14, 2015 Author Share Posted July 14, 2015 Bought some new wheels for the car. Japan Racing TF2, nothing special but they are cool and will suite the new colour perfect. 15x7.5 30et. so nothing too extreme. Only place I could find them in white was in Germany and they are having to order them in from the supplier for me. Nothing fancy but you dont see them very often and hardly see them in white. Unlike rotas which everyone and their dog has. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Got my Defi Advance ZD replica today. Very happy with it. Considering it was only £135. So far it is fantastic Bench tested it with a 9V battery and tested how accurate the oil temp, water temp, volts and boost pressure is. They were all bang on which is geat! The amount of features this thing has is nuts. Defiantly worth the money. Picture of it with the sandwich plate and water coolant probe holder. Sensors fit perfect as well. Picture when I was bench testing it. Two pictures of where I will put it in the cluster. Dont need a rev guage as the Defi unit had a built in rev guage with shift light/alarm. Will be fitting this over the weekend. Edited July 15, 2015 by mas12555 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Just bought a HKS PFC F-con with the GCC as well . Also came with map sensor and 420cc injectors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Where did you get the defi from mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 Where did you get the defi from mateWill send a message today about it mate.Been researching about the hks Pfc fcon the past week. Getting there slowly. By my understanding it has 9 preset "maps" and then you can adjust fuel with the GCC. Also been looking at IPM which will show the duty cycle of the injectors.

mas12555 Posted July 18, 2015 Author Share Posted July 18, 2015 Got half way through fitting my Defi Advance ZD then my mate came in superspats old Daihatsu Avanzato. Made me fit bucket seats in it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 (edited) Just been going through my aims for this car by the end of this year. got a 210bhp target I dont want to run anymore on a standard engine. List of parts is only involving the engine as if it included everything would be endless! Parts I already got. HKS pfc fcon ecu with GCCHKS FCD420cc injectors (probably overkill but came with the ecu)Tial 38mm wastage Wepr ct9 manifold with external waste which runs back in the decat blitz intercooler corealloy half radSpare 60k mile glanza engineAEM wideband Defi advance zd (has egt function) knock gaugeParts wantedRace tech stage 3 ct9 which will also have a flipped compressor.Apexi AVCRIntercooler pipework for a CT9polybush engine mounts HKS IPM very rare but would be handy. So I have done good to collect the parts I have considering how long I have had the car. Got so many other parts for this build. Not much more stuff I need to reach my target.

mas12555 Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 Well the intercooler pipework is kind of sourced haha! I managed to win a whole brand new intercooler kit for £41! I just need a short route pipe. If anyone knows someone selling one please shoot me a PM! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MustakimQZ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The intercooler went back up on sale. Any issues with it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Exterior plans sound awesome mate, I'm sure I got a short route hot pipe here you can have when you come to collect the bonnet of no use to me now. I'l have a look for it. James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) The intercooler went back up on sale. Any issues with it? No amazingly mate :)I was half expecting the company to make up some excuse. I got it today and fitted it with my blitz core. Hopefully the blitz core will flow better than the chinese ebay crap. Exterior plans sound awesome mate, I'm sure I got a short route hot pipe here you can have when you come to collect the bonnet of no use to me now. I'l have a look for it. James Yeah mate its getting there slowly! going to really look awesome and hopefully have the power to go with the looks as well. Cant wait to get that bonnet.

MustakimQZ Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Cool. Hope you can put up pics of it installed. I was considering it at 1st but wasn't sure whether it'll fit the 82 with air cond. You defo got a good deal there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted July 23, 2015 Author Share Posted July 23, 2015 Cool. Hope you can put up pics of it installed. I was considering it at 1st but wasn't sure whether it'll fit the 82 with air cond. You defo got a good deal there.I got pictures mate but its with a slightly smaller but more efficiant blitz core and not the ebay core. With some bumper cutting it will fit over the ep82 aircon mate. Its very close but it will fit. My starlet still has air con which I am meant to be removing soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just bought a blitz K1 turbo so thats the turbo sorted. I really wanted a race tech stage 3 but those turbos havent really been on many set ups yet. the blitz k1 turbo has been proven to be a great turbo over and over. Also for the price I got it, it was a no brainer. Dont need many things now to reach my target. just need braided lines etc. was also very tempted to buy the basic zisco inlet manifold because it still uses the stock throttlebody which means it wont confuse my HKS FCON.

mas12555 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Painted some of the smaller stuff today! Both front wings, the optional kit, rear bumper. I ran out of paint though!I repaired the front bumper and smoothed it all. That front bumper I got had alot of damage which was bodged. Right then time to see what colour it is going , Its a very love or hate colour. Apparently its java green but I say its more mint green. Got the inspiration who has his micra this same colour. Also last night I found a picture of an EP82 in japan which is very similar colour. And this is the colour! Looks alot whiter in the photos. I put that down to my poor phone camera.

Yeah it will be matte Half tempted to lacquer it though. In theory it looks good but never know it may look naff Edited August 1, 2015 by mas12555 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris84 Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I like the colour you have chosen mate keep it matte it should look quite fresh and a little moody at the same time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'd personally lacquer it but each to their own, it'll look sweet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I like the colour you have chosen mate keep it matte it should look quite fresh and a little moody at the same time Haha cheers mate. Would have got everything except he shell painted but I ran out of paint! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 I'd personally lacquer it but each to their own, it'll look sweet! I am very close to mate but I refuse to lacquer the car with rattles cans though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Got nearly all the parts which I can take off the shell painted. Doors, wings, mirrrors etc. End of this month the sell will be painted in a gazebo. I mocked up the rear end to see what it will look like and I LOVE IT! Also picked up a JAM FRP bonnet off of JamesD89. Lovely bloke and a great guy. Pleasant experience to trade with him. Also got it painted and mock fitted. Although it did feel quite wrong to graffiti paint a jam bonnet... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mas12555 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 Got a week off the end of this month which is when everything is being done. Will do the of sods on the weekends Quote Link to post Share on other sites
