Gearbox still for sale mate? And where abouts are you? Or would you post it. Thanks

Would you Let me no if they don't go please I'll have them

Are the Gearbox's sold?

Still got the clutch mate?

Nice build, just out of interested where did you buy the 'replica' EWG from?

Thank you . Ermm I can't remember to be honest but it came from the U.S.

I agree with jay i think it looked good 😂 but red was my favourite colour

Ha same here, did look awesome, thank you

Looked good when saw it at japfest dude..

Cheers mate, besides the colour lol

For some reason I got bored again with the colour, think it's cause the outside looked the same as it did at japfest last year, so went for candy orange, as you can see the sprayer did too many coats so ended up being really dark, so here's a few pics and some pictures I took at japfest.

Pretty much as soon as I got back from japfest I sprayed the wheels with some rattle cans cause I hated the colour of them so much

Then bought a new gearbox with a kaaz lsd so started cleaning it and waiting on the clutch

What are the trd mechanical diffs like?

Nice build thread. Love those those rota's. 16's?

Thanks mate!, yea there 16's

Nice thread, car looks nice, whats the boost like on the VF24 like spool time etc

Thank you 👍🏼. Probably about the same as a td04 the exhaust housing is a bit bigger than td04 as well, plus it's ball bearing

Stunning project that red and purple the wheels were wow some colours and dome nice power outputs

Thank you dude 👍🏼

Very sweet. I bet that tuning package wasn't cheap Tasty

Lol no it wasn't , but thank you

Where was it mapped?

Was mapped at tuning developments mate

Absolutly love this car. Looks just as mint in the flesh as does in the pics

Thanks mate but I'm pretty sure it looks better in photos lol

Looking good dude, that welding is shocking on the mani

Thanks mate!, tell me about it lol it's only temporary though 👍🏼

Good to finally see a build thread, been following you in instagram for a while looks great, nice figure out of the vf24

I'm running one now nice to see they can get into the 300s easy

Thank you yea I have been meaning to do it for a while now lol. Yea it's a pretty good turbo, and I'm happy aswell as shocked that it made that too lol

Well, after having the car for about 3 years now i think its time to do a progress thread, so ill try and post pictures of when i first got it and to where it is now, keeping in mind its been 3 years!

i got it like this, standard ct9, had a blitz nur spec system, tein coilovers a blitz access ecu a front mount a hks dump valve and some bloody dashboard gauges that seemed to stay in the car for way too long.

after getting it dynod it made 161bhp, i decided to make some changes with the engine, fitted a short route fmic pipe, alloy rad, a hks actuator and a gizmo boost controller

it wasnt long after uping the boost the clutch started to slip so ended up going for the stage 2 exedy one

finnaly then i got some new wheels for it!

after that it was the paintwork issues, like the roof laquer and the boot needed to be smothed

then started collecting some pieces for td04 and other extras to be fitted at a later date

then the inevitable happened , what id heard so much about, started blowing oil from the oil breather and missfired. so strip down! and found no1 piston ruined..

after fixing it up and driving it around for a while i got bored of constantly cleaning white wheels, as using the car as a daily they always looked sh*t high all the time and didnt really like them in white anyway so they went candy red and then a picture of it on the dyno with td04 which it made 224bhp

then got a few other bits like a toms front bumper and spoiler and a whitline rear arb and fitted all those, also our workplace got flooded so felt obliged to take some pictures

a while has passed now and recently started to get bored of the red (and having scuffed the wheels once or twice lol) i played with one wheel painting it black, and silver and then blue, but none of them looked good on it so just went for a candy pearl purple

then pretty much straight after me and some work mates, and even the misses went on a track day , so i took off my wheels and front bumper (just incase lol!)

then after that it pretty much stayed the same for a while so heres a couple pictures of a charity phototshoot

after being td04 for a while now and somehow getting used too it being pretty nippy and thinking its slow again, it was time to forge and get some better power out of it, so some bits arrived

so the strip down begun and all the machine work was given to an engine shop just to bore out the block, knotch it and deck it, as well as getting the head skimmed and the crankshaft balanced and machined. i also replaced one of the valve stem oil seals again for good measure, and found one of the inlet valves was not 100% so they all got changed for genuine toyota parts along with some shims that wernt of the correct measurement. also replaced the td04 for a vf24. and while it was off the road i also finnaly got rid of the gauges that were in the dash and got a new boost controller

and then after some driving around for a month or so it was booked in and going on a nice road trip to tuning developments to get the ecu mapped and my rx8 injectors fitted. where they found a few problems like the king lead and coil pack where corroded and not sure how it still ran, and also the tial wastegate was found to be a replica!! but after buying a new wastegate and a set of leads it made 307bhp at 1.4 bar which im over the moon with!

and thats pretty much how it sits now, tried to keep it fairly short and will hopefully keep this a regular update when i can

Lol!! That's brilliant!

I couldnt resist... looked smart as mate.

U musta thought wtf when u seen weird ginger lad rocking up in mk4 golf taking photo. Lol..

Lol it was a tad wiered, but I did think you must be a starlet enthusiast, as you were a passenger lol

Me to as not many around my way
