I was very impressed with Mike @ TD and would recommend them to anyone. Gave my car lots of love when they had it even gave he block & head a fresh coat of paint and a few other nice little touches that I wasn't expecting. 10/10.....the drive back was fun !!

March 2015 I had the car booked in at TD for: TD04 Kit, Emanage Blue, TD Fuel rail with braided lines, FPR & fuel filter change, Ultra racing C-Pillar and Ultra Racing H-Bar. Got the car dropped off on a trailer with Mike and waited for the call to see what it made. Couple of weeks later I had the call one evening from Mike to say it was all done and had made 235bhp at just over 1 bar. I was very happy with the results and made plans to go and pick it up Starlet world !

Just enjoyed reading this build, Great work mate.

So after the clutch had been run in it was very keen to see what power it was running before I tucked it away for winter. Done a compression test the week before and had 150 ish across all 4 so was happy to see what it pulled. Took the V to JF automotive in Maidstone which was local for work, booked in Saturday morning and away it went. 1st time I've had a car on the rollers i was nervous but all went well. 182 bhp at the flywheel @ 1 bar. I was happy enough with this. Later that day I found a JAM FCD wired into the ecu which explained why I never experienced fuel cutt.

Dean @ RW sorted me out with a catch can, very impressed with his work. JDM Saturday shot

Decided to drop a new clutch & lightweight flywheel in supplied by TD, with a TD04 not far away decided to get this done now. When the old clutch was taken out it turns outo it was a TRD clutch, bit annoyed but I don't think it had much meat left on it so all good in the end. Not sure if this was a stock flywheel or not ??

New rear lights off a member & new 255LPH TD fuel pump was next up. Man those things look scary to install but not too bad JDM Saturdays !!

Next up was sorting the front bumper, I needed a fair bit of cutting & smoothing off but happy with what my mate done.

Cheers fella I didn't know that Thanks mate, wiring was fine fella.

Got the Rocker cover painted in Milano red and fitted new Pro Sport Peak oil pressure & boost.

Thanks, sorry man that went some time ago

The new air filter silicone coming off the CT9 was a tight fit due to the oil cooler pipes Also fitted a TD adjustable actuator set at 1bar. Also done a gearbox oil change. Took me 2 goes at getting the right type. First lot that went in made the diff very clunky so took that out straight away and found Millers 75w90 fully synthetic done the trick. New plugs & leads went on next

Starting to take shape

Next on the list was the a front mount & air filter relocation from Dean @RW The oil cooler & lines kept getting in the way of everything but I wanted to keep it so undone it and rivoted it along a few inches. Once all done took it for a spin before fitting the bumper and all good, loved to sound of the air whistling through the new intercooler pipes!! Also what looked like a previous bonnet repair was starting to appear so decides to get it painted and changed it to black

Fitted 1/2 size rad from idworkz, did have some red samco coolant pipes ready to go on but the outlets on the rad were huge so had to sell them on and got some bigger ones from Mike @ TD Those rad fans are THE most fiddly things to install. Destroyed the first rad due to it coming loose so the next one got cable tied on by pulling them through the rad viens and back through. Haven't moved an inch since. Gave the front strut a splash of Milano red and a few pipes got changed

Cheers man, she is a minter Sumopower, was on a golf trip up that way and picked it up on my way home

First purchase was a new exhaust. Nice burble on idle & good rasp on boost

So this is a 1 uk owner before me. I bought it off a friend who imported it and done a couple of bits to it but was his daily. Spec: Stock engine running CT9 HKS air filter and bov Standard exhaust BC coilovers 15'' sparco crimson wheels Greedy oil cooler Oil pressure & boost gauge Greedy turbo timer TRD clutch LSD (cusco)

I've had the car over a year now and lots has changed since I got it. I'll add pics of where it started to where it is now over time so it makes for better reading.

See you all 2moz then

I'm in
