Chops

I could do, im a plater by trade so it doesnt scare me, but i had a go in an mr2 the other day and they have a removable manual job that takes up nearly no extra room at all so i was wondering how involved fitting the clips etc would be. Im already going to have to take the whole headlining out and remove the rails the stock job slides on.

So ive been musing about my starlet project, ive fitted impreza seats to the interior and they sit roughly where the stock jobs do,(very comfy and cheap by the way, would recommend) perhaps lower as theyre hight adjustable, but alas as mine is a sunrood model my head hits the roof :/. Ive been considering the possibility of converting my sunroof to a much slimmer manualy operated job from an mr2 etc, or perhaps even a removable one. Has anyone attempted or done any research on this? What do peeps think?

Pretty much confirmed cracked toyosport lol. Who delocks doors too

Hi Chops, as above, I tried messaging you mate but your inbox must be full.

Interested in HKS BOV and Rear Strut Brace with plastics with cash on collection.

Get in touch pal.

Thanks

Id like a bmcs too please!

Its a pretty straightforward job, that will probably turn into a more time consuming job as you go and the while its apart opportunities appear lol. Its best to just pull the engine and gearbox as one, do the swap out of the car, refreshing gaskets here and there as you go. Makes drilling a hole for the clutch master cylinder etc easy, and whe youre done you can be sure you wont have to pull it back apart for a while!

Ive literally just finished doing my own conversion, feel free to message me if you get stuck!

Yeh sure he will def be selling them as he's got all the parts now. Ill get him to message you on here

And we are only located near Andover so not far away

Lovely gt mate, always love to see a gt running. Just wondering mate, if your friend does do the quaddie conversion id love to buy the squarelights from ya!

My green gt project will be for sale when it comes back from bodywork cleanup! 92, around 50k miles on the clock

Bump! (If a mod fancys clearing up all the excess posts on this thread, id be grateful!)

Im sticking a td05 16g on a 5e, planning to run an emu. Anyone had experience with that setup?

The head was rebuilt and pressure tested. Bores usually give the game away with rings and its timing chain is deff correct, wouldnt give a difference between 3 pistons and the 4th anyway.

Im tempted to butcher it, central locking, complete engine for a mad build someday, 6 speed gbox with driveshaft cups etc.

Im confused as to why its so low, the bores didnt seem that bad, no gouges from ringland failure or anything. Im torn now, i could pull it to bits for parts or try and find a replacement shortblock or whole engine.

So i got the head back on, new gaskets, bolts etc and gave it a comp test.

150 150 150 180

Game over lol.

I was in gosport sunday, saw a white glanza bombing through. Always spotting starlets about, never hear from any of them on here lol.

Might need a short block tbh. If it doesnt work ill probs pull the engine and box and bin the rest off lol

Ooh, got any intake cams and or rocker pads that arnt curly whirlied? Got set of springs?

I want this badly lol, id px for my minty green one or a phat saab with only a small amount of head gasket failure lol

Only when using the hot cam tho eh, when i say later i mean if the engine runs well when i throw it back together and doesnt burn oil. Ill be looking for some at the scrappys im not paying the 300 odd toyota want lol

Got my cylinderhead back from the shop, refreshed the valves and gave it a big old skim to try and get the compression up as well as seat the mls headgaskets these use, so shiney, so chrome .
This happens to most 2zzs it seems, the hot cams and pads on the intake camshaft get smashed on the back of the lobes, im not going to do anything just yet, ill fix it later if the car is a success. toyota wanted mad dollahs to replace em, fuk dat noise for a car im intending to drive hard till it dies again lol.

Plough through, the heartache moments and skuffed knuckles are all worth it!

Just soak it to death in some degreaser and pressure wash

So i finally got round to getting the head off today, and found this.

Not seen a gasket blow through between two different cylinders before, presumably this thing got silly hot .gonna clean it all up, hopefully the bottom end is strong at least!

Saw this twice yesterday and once today. Gave you the team amreica secret signal from my saab as i went past but i think you must have just thought i was a geography teacher on crack.

So much sludge in the oil, but no bits of bearing or other shit. its coolant was mostly straight water, so its been leaking/burning coolant for a while and topped up i recon.

I'm hoping to god the bottom ends ok and i dont have to pull the whole thing out as i cba with that shit. found the timing cover is one piece today, and i have to take the whole lot off to check the timing is aligned ffs. id have just kept the bottom of the chain from being loose but the cover has to come off to get the head off obv and ill need to turn the crank to inspect the bores, they were pitted to fuck on my old scoob from getting too hot, caused serious blowby and destroyed the whole engine!
