Chops

i seem to remember reading somewhere that these share parts/underpinnings from 90s civics, egs or ej/k. might be worth looking into for cheap uprated parts prehaps. make sure you get a 'rovertaken' sticker for it lol!

man down, cant make it, dont even have the fuel money to get there and back lol. another time i supposed :/

Im interested in this, can i ask for a guesstimate of how much it weighs and what it actually bolts to? Presumably some drilling is required?

I have a slightly battered side exit i bought and never did anything with, pm me if your interested

Thats the chunkiest bracket of all time lol. Another thing that i was wondering come to think of it, liamd rotated my intake to face downwards when fitted, where does the piping from that setup go to get to the intercooler lol. I was gonna chop the flange off the ct9s first intercooler pipe and rotate the turbo to mach the old ct9s position. This would put the bolt holes for the actuator on completely the wrong side of the turbo annoyingly, i need to make a bracket to do that. Also, ive suddenly remembered some td04 setups arnt stock rad friendly, i have no idea if my kit will fit lol.

I used to have a k11 micra that i fitted a big primera airbox to. The airbox sat right on top of the throttle body, and had a large snorkely tube coming off it going right round the bay to behind one of the headlights. Everyone on the old msc forums used to go on about ti being a cold air feed but actually it was more to do with resonance and intake velocity. With the snorkel on it had noticably more torque lower down in the rev range, whereas without it felt better at the top end, flying off the end of the tacho at 9k lol. (It also sounded like it had itbs when the snorkel was missing lol, great fun in your first car :L). The same is probably true of your arc airbox, n/as are very sensitive to such things. The same is probably true of turbo enginess, but to a less noticable extent.

Hi all, im in the process of finalising all the parts ill need to fit my tf035, and have a few problems. Im going to be using the original water feeds, ive heard somewhere you can run td series turbos without with no problems but i want to be thorough with this install, and id like to know whether it matters which port the water is fed into. I also want to use the internal gate for now as im not really going to be running hectic boost, and was wondering if theres an actuator or bracket that suits a forester tf rotated to suit a starlet, long shot i know lol but i thought id ask. Finally, i was wondering what the actuator is made of, ill probably end up having to cut and weld it to suit a custom bracket and need to know what it is to weld it back together properly. Cheers for any advice in advance!

Pm me please bud, stuck on my phone cause i accidentally trashed my laptop :L

I have these to fit, i ha e some astra disks for em i think, machined down to 275mm or so. Sorry to steal the thread a bit, but can anyone poi t me in the direction of a rebuild kit for levin twinnies? Having a terrible time tracking them down.

Bump

Bumpage, everyone and their dog had one for sale while i didnt need one lol, someone must have one surely?

calling all peeps, im looking for a td/vf series downpipe in a bit of a hurry now. any condition, i can repair or use as a pattern faster than i can make one up from scratch lol, pm me!

I could be game, run my new turbo in if i can get it fitted in time. ive done bluewater before, its far but my areas starlet lot seem to be a bunch of melts and a lot didnt even turn up last time we attempted a meet lol.

i rock an rsr adjustable panhard, rsr lowering springs, oem rear brace and a whiteline anti lift kit and find its super responsive without the crashy speedhump skuffing nature of cars with coilovers on bullshit british roads. id consider a more road friendly set up and add parts till your happy bud.

ill take this, ill drop you a pm on it!

ive dropped you a pm on the vf10, very interested in the twinpot's carriers too!

i have a set of 5 13'' compomotive cx1359 alloys from the 80's thatd look pretty mean on this come to think of it, 2 of which are still unused in their original box . i bought em for my micra but it died of rust, and they wont fit under my levin twinpots on the starlet or id use em on that for cushy winter tyres drop me a pm if your interested!

That's unbelievable,some people just need shooting, fucking scum. had the locks been damaged, or was it just straight up pointless arson?

super tempted for that carbon bonnet, whereabouts are you bud?

ill take this I need it for my tf035, happy days!

second on the airsoft, is a massive giggle and worth a try!

glowbadge hunting has been a nightmare, no one seems to have one lol. i know ill get a ridiculous pricetag slapped on one when i finally do, its so annoying.

I agree completely with aaddzz rant at the top, pisses me off alot when peeps break their cars completely when theyre done with them, cause they know its worth more in parts than complete. it happens to a lot of cars like starlets this age, start getting broken left right and centre for a quick quid till there's precious few left that are suddenly worth a bomb. when cars get to a certain age and rarity ie pretty difficult to obtain parts and things for, ive always felt you should consider yourself more of a custodian than an owner, having fun with it till its time to move on and let someone else have fun with it. thats not to say dont to anything to it, i got bored with stock power after a week even though it was triple my previous cars output, but going mad, then pulling it to complete bits seems like a pretty shit thing to do to me.

yeah, the impreza wagons got td04s and the saloons got td05s, only physical engine difference between the wrx and the sti for years was the ecu, although some of the later mk1 stis got forged internals as standard for a while iirc. Peeps always want the turbo bigger than the one they got lol. ive got a tf035 now, its the right size but looks a mess, i might have liamd on here rebuild it for the peace of mind.
