Nah, that's just the Pongful Mikey

wow...just....wow

head assemblies/valvetrain - areas where a motorcycle company would know their stuff

even your Paseo engine was fettled by Yamaha

bah! Bigger radiator will serve me better for trackdays

try finding space for it - I didn't actually ask for the pipe to be like that (it's how I bodged my intake when I brought the car to them) but meh. There's actually no space to go round the radiator like in your Starlet GT's/Glanza's...radiator is far bigger.

- Update - W00t, Installed my FMIC And what a bitch it was to install...so little space around the turbo with the new "EFi Pipe"...and I think I may have a boost leak as the angles between boost pipes and intercooler are crazy. And I'll need heatreflective tape for that intake pipe, it's scorching

Yes, it's not really a Starlet GT - it's a chopped EVO VIII (I think) chassis, with EVO VIII Interior and Powertrain and bits of Fiberglass thatl look like a Starlet GT stuck on it

Cruise Manifold

in a naturally aspirated car there's only so much you can do...no idea how many times I've posted this but whatever, these are typical options: - 5efhe Transplant (or just take the connecting rods, block, pistons, camshafts) - Good Ignition System (Uprated Spark Plugs, Spark Plug wires, Coil) - Proper Lubrication (Correct Oil, freer flowing Oil Filter) - Uprated Radiator (plus coolant additives like Redline Water Wetter) - Corolla Tubular/5efhe ACIS Manifold (port & polish it, extrude hone, ceramic coat...) - Phenolic Intake Manifold Insulator Gasket - 7/4AFE Throttlebody (port & polish it as well...) - Heat-reflective Tape wrapped intake piping and freer flowing airfilter shielded from heat - Tuned Tubular Exhaust Manifold (Ceramic Coated) - Freer Flowing Tuned Diameter Exhaust System - Decat/Freer Flowing Catalytic Converter - 5efhe/Custom Camshafts - Thinner Metal Headgaskets - Lightened Ancillary/Crankshaft Pulleys - Lightweight Flywheel - Headwork (port & polish, extrude honing, x angle valve jobs...) - Lightened & Uprated Valve train (lighter valves, spring retainers, stronger springs) - Lightened Internals (Pistons, Connecting Rods, Crankshaft) - Cylinder Boring (0.5 - 1.0mm overbore) - Internal Friction Reduction (friction coatings & processes on internal components) - Piggyback (eManage) or Standalone (Motec) ECU - Individual Throttle Bodies

Petrol

try parcel2go

haha, trust me Harry, I might as well suggested them to use some KY Jelly to ease my pain...True, it is a very high quality piece, and the sound/look is nice...just sounds low in tone & key, none of your typical Raspy-jap racer rubbish...but it doesn't excuse the price Hehe, that's fine....the longer I wait the better....gives me time to recover from my Haemorraging ass But yegsmesh, let me know when anything else is known about the Coilovers

Meh, Harrison's expression was like mine when I was there...but I was in a hurry so didn't bother arguing. Quality is astounding but for the money, I'm surprised it's not gold lined...

Nah, I'm usually fine on the "getting ripped off" front....I get bumraped by my own bad choices (like driving with the oil light on for 150mi, persisting with the 5efhe, cheap coilovers etc...)...I just had no choice in this instance I'm pretty sure it was an error and shall have to ask the guy about the VAT...I WAS Originally quoted £750, then he upped it a bit with a few of the requests to £825. Hah, chuck more on the Coilovers? Don't make me cry infront of you

haha...you don't really want to know .....£969.38 inc. VAT (Vat's what stung me...he neglected to mention it wasn't inclusive when I was quoted "just" £825 )

- Update - Well here it is, finally: What you see there is a 2.5" system from the Cat, back by Hayward & Scott, as some may know, one of the most well Reknowned Fabricators in the UK. 2.5" is a bit much for the car as it is but I stated the aims for the engine and the H&S deemed this the ideal diameter. Just looking at the pipework...well, their reputation really came clear. The piping is immaculate, as is the sound of the car - very refined and low key. I was a bit dubious about the Tailpipe but I did ask for something "Standard" looking, and as such, doesn't look too out of place. That is also intercooler piping (just two pipes!) and a replacement eFI pipe...couldn't be fitted as the guy sending my BOV ripped me off, but I've ordered a fake one. Oh, and I'll not be buying much till next year...this has soaked up pretty much my entire loan... Hopefully when I get my JAM Manifold, and install it with the Rebuilt CT9b with the 1Bar JAM Actuator, Zep Racing Decat and get that FMIC on, the difference will be...noticeable Can't wait

Joey's going to receive an anonymous Email...saying " Mikey is le Man slut "

don't bother, they're too soft

hehe - well I'm not all for the TD04 just quite yet, thanks for the consideration though...and it's ridiculous how quick that K1 went...I best have money next time. Argh, the wait for my car is killing me...hopefully by the end of this week I shall be reunited though

if it had red wheels, it was an annoying 16yr old tool called Cal driving illegally

Haha, clever play on words ;)

Clicky

What it looks like Think it runs 7psi of boost, it's a Roots Supercharger, has selectable Boost Settings...and that's all I know

lmao
