5T4R7ET N/A's Sportif Turbo


Recommended Posts

im making this thread again as i didnt update my old one and i think it has been deleted, so here goes again.

this time i will be hopefully updated the build thread even for the small updates.

i do all the work myself so time is the only restriction and as some of you know, its all in the detail.

I have had this car a little while after having a bump with a uninsured driver i decided to buy as a upgrade from my red n/a.

was mint and i was planning to 4efte it.

after the acccident i bought a already converted n/a . i know a little about the history so here goes ( this is going to be a bit long post!! )

it started life like this, box standard staret

was mint, then one of the next owners modded it a bit

Then went to someone else I think

then came the conversion (done by jackstar on here)

sadly thats all the historic picture i have. I remember there being some more but i cant find them now.

it had been slammed on coilovers and front bumper had been cut with a intercooler spray bar in it, looked alright.

when i bought the car it was in bad condition. had sort many things out being

brakes caliper one size siezed

suspension, coilovers corroded solid and one shock burst

gearbox completely gone, just about got it home. turned out drive shaft oil seal were shot

spark plug seals gone

decat bolts missing

interior very dirty

tyres close to legal limit

the list goes on...... :sad:

probably why i didnt take any photos of it then. (2-3 years ago now)

so i made a new front bumper in 2013, came out pretty good

this is how the car looks now.

under the skin i have changed the following, most will be changed again.

Suspension:

35mm apexi springs with koni adjustable shocks

front top mounts are adjustable

all the bushing is poly bushed

whitline panhard rod

brakes:

put standard ones that work properly. (these will be changed)

turbo:

was t25 but i had to ditch it as it was knackered.

it is running a toyosport kit with td04 at 0.5 bar ( this will be changed)

interior:

rs turbo seats, ( these will be changed)

AEM wideband gauge

oil pressure, temp gauge and water temp gauge

engine bay was made up just to test a few things and is mostly temporary. everything bar the engine and radiator will be moved or changed

its a right mess at the moment

the steering wheel came out of celica, i just put sprayed my airbag black and put it in.

the car has been off road for ages. i will put up more updates soon. I have lots of other bits and bobs to share but didnt want to make this too long.

I know exactly what i want to do and just need to do it. wish me luck

Its been parked up, started doing the mods that i wanted to do in first place and my daily failed mot, bought another daily and that started to play up so had to get rid of it. Finally have something now. So the work on starlet continues.

Got lots of work to do but hopefully will be back on the road

The weather was very nice yesterday so i got a lot done.

Engine block got some paint

e380c94452bea5d9a8e343071ac21919.png

So did the front end. You may also have noticed that i redone my slam panel. Got a new latch off idrees (top service as always, thanks)

Somebody made a mess of it so didnt have much to play with. So it had to go.

It's great knowing you have the car cleaned in places no one sees isn't it? :D I think I may get myself some Hammerite and waxoyl! Need to get the car protected for the winter!

Winter is what im preparing for. Got a lot to do, 3 more wheel arches and the whole underbody.

forgot to upload some older bits i have done.

i done the door frame like the glanza in satin black

5e1d5be957b2dc3e33b7cf2fe78036b5.png

this is where i plumbed in my water temperature sensor for the gauge.

6f2f07c2e321da1778106ed826d22c29.png

airbox that i made, its temporary but the concept worked pretty well with the air coming through the foglight trumpet.

4844454636f6812d590cea80fcb9ed37.png

i also had the biggest piece of the puzzle arrive some time ago. a lot of the engine bay is based around it so im hoping it works out. i gave the measurements to keith and Zisco Performance, and he made it exactly how i want it. i decided to DEI titanium wrap it.

c1a3d30858ef736e4da7b533bdf689e4.png

by the way thats 50ft of 1inch wrap. it takes a bit of time to do it properly so be patient

close to the rad so might have to create a little shield for it.

2e2248bfef804038578a3d6cec56fdee.png

also redone the pipes in a custom route for the bottom to get some space for the exhaust. also they are now black, much better than the red ones off my old n/a

809ba824be59d6e1406309a39e09e116.png

hopefully more to come after this weekend :D

Update 4/10/15

Its been another nice day so i could continue work the slow progress

I blocked off all the ports to the throttle body and then gave it a lick if paint. Used epoxy putty for blocking upthe ports which worked well.

914288dd755bc8f98d7a753eb5362839.png

Then i got my alloys out, they need a refurb. Gave them a good clean first

e5395fc2019e2e4370519b6a6576d9fa.png

Anyone guess what they are? Some people know but for now i will keep it a secret.

Done the insides of them black as well. I will be doing a different colour for the alloys face.

84fdc928e32faadcd9819bff0fe62928.png

Since i had taken most bits off the hub, gave that some paint as well. Not the best picture

4fce8a6fcadf321276f7405399283423.png

Hoping to put it back together next time and do the other side. Only half done so far.

Found some pictures of what the car looked like when i bought it. Took a little google search to find my old thread that i couldnt find on here. Lol

Looked ok, i still like the agressive front end. Up close its was a different story by the time i had it and underneath it needed a lot of work.
