car made some very wrong noises a while back. turned out to be this: Rebuilt the blown turbo after getting some parts exhaust side after removing from the turbo. still no idea what caused it. engine has good compression. no visible damage in the cylinders. i'm at a loss to what happened. still had some spare parts of old broken ct9 turbo's so i happened to have a spare shaft with exhaust fan let's rebuild! all done! previous turbo was blue so decided this one should be red (so i can tell them apart later) back in the car and we power on till something else breaks

bought a set of injectors from mikey melling. good price, posted quick and very well wrapped! each injector wrapped seperatly to avoid any possible damage. great seller and would happely trade with him again!

forgot to update this. a while ago we had another drag day and me and my wife did well again my wife took the first prize, there was no way for me to beat her time. we have to run 15 seconds and over, she put down a 15.001 and i placed 2nd with a 15.034 this puts us at the first and second place of this years dutch championship for our class also just bought a gopro cam and tried it out for the first time at the track. need to fix the wind noise though. the first run with the gopro on the dash was my wife's winning run. the car should almost be rdy to run 14 seconds flat so we can m

also bought a set of lightweight lenso's will be ideal for my r888 setup for trackuse

Last weekend we had a dragweekend for the dutch drags championship. dragracing is still rather small in the netherlands so we are racing on an airfield. Hope we will onde day have a dedicated dragstrip near here. Had great fun at the strip though! Arrived at the strip on friday night. set up our caravan and prepped the car Saterday morning was tech inspection time. passed with flying colors and i parked her at the starting grid wich was still a little bit empty our neighbor, a v8 wakeup call works rly rly well and more big toys v8 escort! epic thing! 1000hp quatr

these are 15"

imported straight from japan toms wheels (dunno the type) wrapped in new toyo R1R

removed all the broken and crappy smoked gauges and replaced them with clear white ones with peak warning. glad to have working info on the engine again didn't feel good to race around not knowing oil temp/pressure etc. lights on:

Right, let's blow some dust off this topic Have been tinkering with the car (as usual) last march i was at the drags and i encountered a few minor problems. she was smoking blue, likely causes were valve seals. she was leaking a bit of oil around the crank seal on the box side. meaning i would have to take off the gearbox. and i wanted to swap out the engine loom as it had been hacked and slashed multiple times over the years for various mods and it was giving me all sorts of grief. so, let's take her apart again en yes... it failed engine out and yup, seals... i'l

and at last! she moved out of the garage under her own power for the first time. made a short testdrive around the block and she's running well very easy car to drive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxQHFcsCrLM&feature=share&list=UUCCc-qKSO3vuL1n4vgm06HQ

Been 4 years sofar. But we have had a lot of other projects that we did during this one so in all fairness id say about 2,5 years that went into the car. Usually 1 or 2 nights a week

Thx And sorry for the massive picture overload.its hard to sum up 9 years in a few pics

was having some problems with the hood locking mechanism lately and the hood didn't line up right the right corner always stood up a bit and never could figure out why. also, the support that holds it in place was preventing me from fitting the intercooler nice and flush against the beam behind it so i wanted it out off the way. the simple sollution was fitting cheesy hood pins. not everyone's cup of tea but this is a pure function over form mod for me it was quite hard to line everything up correctly and then that awkward moment of putting a drill through the hood and cutting massive ho

and we have a "small" update she's ALIVE! ran for the first time yesterday. note that the carbs still need adjusting, we had only half of the exhaust fitted and after 3 minutes we managed to find the correct setting on the choke. took a while for the fuel to get from the tank to the carbs so lots of things that still need attention but we are happy as f00k that she ran! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFf-07zIuA&feature=c4-overview&list=UUCCc-qKSO3vuL1n4vgm06HQ

thx for the comments lads still far from done and there will be loads of troubleshooting to come but we'll get there

Something different... A friend of mine has had a wish for quite some time. To find and restore a classic japanese car. And he had found his muse. If you are a true car guy, you have feelings for a car, you can look past the flaws, rust and damage and see what she can be, someday... In this case i felt sad and sorry when i saw the car for the first time. For this particular car has had a rough life and was abused and abandoned. She would probably end up on a scrapheap in the not too distant future. The mission was to try and save this piece of history and restore it to full glory. My go

i'm currently in the collection phase for my forged 5e build. would like to have your opinions on the setup i have in mind and any sugestions or tips you might have. goal is to hit a reliable drivable 300bhp mark i have a spare 4efte engine for parts. 5e bottom end with good crank 5e scat rods 5efhe cams Gt2560r turbo wepr mani + downpipe externally gated arp headbolts 460cc injectors 3 puck trd clutch (will this suffice around 300bhp?) microtech lt8 standalone the questions i have: pistons, what will you guys suggest? wiseco? wossner? something else? and why? what headgasket?

that would shut down most of the sale thread. immagine you have a single item for sale, you want to post it and it tells you to wait for a letter to authenticate your location? *seller leaves and never comes back*

thx sacha work will continue on the car. hope to start the new project this winter. currently in the collecting fase for a forged 5e build. also have a new unmolested chassis that will be the new home of my gt turbo build. will be stripped, seamwelded, full cage welded in, painted, forged 5e dumped in. the whole 9 yards during that build i can still cruise around in my current gtt as i have a lot of work to put into the new chassis first. have a spare engine to build the 5e with. and once all that is done it's just the body parts, lsd box and shocks that will need to be swapped
