  1. Hi, managed to get hold of a ct9 turbo, but I’m struggling to find an actuator, mani and do. If anyone has any sitting around or are breaking their standard parts ? 🙂

  2. I’m after a full loom/harness for my ep82. Mine has been sliced here and there that many times I can no longer make sense of it  or what goes where😂

    Did you pick up a new or used turbo?

     

    Was there any shaft play. Often I find it's just best to have your turbo rebuilt rather than picking up an unknown used turbo.same thing could happen to that turbo.

    Aye was second hand thought I was best of buying another as turbo solutions wanted £400 for a rebuild. 
    May have found another shop who can rebuild it for quarter that though.
    also I think I've found the issue is related back to the catch can, so going to do away with that and try again... 

  4. Hello, just looking for some advice.

    I've got a tf035 which started to smoke, oil seals = fucked. went and collected a new TF clocked it last night then come this morning same issue, oil is leaking and the car is smoking. 
    Am I missing something here or doing something wrong ? 
    Any advice is appreciated, booked for tuning in two weeks with rdt, so kind of stressing out here.   

  5. Very quick update**

    Collected a new head for the car which should be fitted next week, in the main time I've took back all the repairs on my Toms bumper and re-strengthened it with fibreglass (I say I, I mean the very kind fibreglass man at my boyfriends work) ????, that still needs sanding back and painting. Speaking of painting, I've stripped back all the pink off my rocker and strut brace, and rather than 50 shades of pink, I'll be spraying them in a fantasy pearl pink.

    I've decided the car requires a remap so after speaking to Mike from TD I've just purchased an Toyo sports mani and dp, HKS adjustable actuator, and a walbro fuel pump. Just after a ecu if anyone can help me there????

    Also just to brighten mood I've ordered another set of neons due to losing my last set ????????

    Few pictures? Okay :p

  6. That poor wheel how did that happen? Be good to see it back on the road boosting again.

    cheers nick.

    I'm still unaware, it happened during the time the car was away but no one is owning up, and i have no proof to be going around making accusations.

    It's more annoying that it wasn't actually me, and it's been damaged while in the trust of some body else :(

  7. Really don't know where to begin with this update but i'll keep it short and sweet.
    So! ... dropped my forged block knowing it had a misfire, but after hearing her run i had mixed views and everyone had an opinion on what it could be: bottom end, bent rods, cracked head...
    so i took her to a local performance garage and he suggested a rebuild, few months later after becoming highly impatient, i took the car back home due to no work even being begun.
    and i found a standard 4efte for sale.
    When bringing the car home i discovered the worst ever, my work wheels had been kerb'd and bent! honestly devastated isnt even the word!
    if anybody knows if or how much it'll be to fix chrome please get in touch please :)
    - After talking to Driftworks about my issue they have offered me a brand new wheel at a discounted price and suggested i keep the bent wheel as a spare wheel.
    Any whooo, new engine is finally in, and i plan on pulling insurance out on the old girl next week!
    Should hopefully be back on the road very soon !!

  8. Well as the 82 is off the road being rebuilt, and I broke my dads TF. I needed a car for work, so... Meet Dory! ????

    Absolute bargain of a price, and my old wheels went straight on.

    This will probably be up for sale in a few months. (Depending on how the Gt wants to be with the new engine) *fingers crossed* ????

    All work seen was on this was done my pervious owner, I vowed not to mod! And keep my money for the Gt, although now having a spare ct9 sat in the garage is becoming more tempting to fit by the day. I miss boost! ????

  9. Wheels look great! Couldn't imagine driving on 165s though :o

    Wheels look awesome Is it safe to run that much stretch I'd be scared of the tyre coming off the rim if I went into a corner hard ?

    Stretch is stretch, they are fine. And maybe corners aren't to be taken at abusive speeds

    Ill keep updated on the tyres if anyone is actually interested, I personally think they look good, just need to lower the car more.

    But this is my take on the build, I'm trying to be different ☺️
