 Nice work buddy

Thanks mate

Then I have built a manifold from stainless bends and a mild steel flange.

Once happy with the length and fitment of the runners I gave it a good weld up.

While I've got a bit of time I thought I'd share a bit more of itb progress. This is where it starts to get a bit more interesting.I left the last upload with the problem of the throttle pedal being too sensitive. I did end up making a pulley and the idea behind this was to try and make the radius of the cable end hole to the centre of the pulley larger .This way it requires more pedal travel to full open throttle instead of the tiny tt600 pulley. Anyway enough talking I'll let the pictures do the talking.

First i turned this up 

Then I cut it and filed it

Looking good mate 

Not at the moment next time I get a chance I will get some.

I do have a few videos I will first have to upload them to youtube

Looks really clean i see your going for a sr rep. I also have the yaris backbox on my sr.

The next thing I did was put the itb's on the car using a chopped manifold and rubber hoses. I also got the cable to fit in the standard bracket so at that time I didn't have to make a long bracket for all the cable instead I tightened the cable to the bracket and pushed the extra cable through to the foot pedal. I then made a stop to put on the cable so when I push my foot down it pushes on the stop pulling on the cable. It is just a a piece of aluminium that has got a grub screw in the top and then a bolt on the side pulling the split bush together keeping the cable in.

I then plugged everything up and tried to start it and it wasn't starting after standing there scratching my head for a considerable amount of time I noticed a ground wasn't connected so bolted that to the engine and tried again and it fired right up. Did have to adjust the idle but after that it started and idled fine and it sounded mean.

This setup was only temporary just to get it started and prove it worked then I began building a manifold from scratch. But before that there was one thing bugging me which was when you rev it the throttle pedal is either on or off one touch and it revs right up. I asked others and they said they got used to it but I thought I'd try a way of sorting it out by making my own throttle cable pulley for the itb's out of aluminium.

Onto the itb progress 

The first thing that I wanted to sort out was how I was going to fit the tps to the throttle bodies. I know a few of you have just made an adapter plate and it fits but I don't know why my tps doesn't go on the itb so I was going to look for a different tps but then I thought I will file the Shaft on the itb a bit thinner so it goes into the tps and then just make a simple adapter plate for the different hole patterns. Once I sorted the's two things I put it on bolted it on and found the start of the tps travel.

Good to see someone stepping into the itbs route. Love to see how it's turns out, keep up the good work 

cheers

I also bought a second starlet it is a 4 door and it has seen better days. I used this for the bonnet and wing and everything else if for spares.

And then there's these.

Hi everyone haven't uploaded anything for a while so there is plenty of photos to share of the progress of the old starlet. Some of you already know that I am doing an itb build with tt600 throttle bodies so there is also plenty of progress on that to share. I will upload photos as soon as I have figured out what to use to upload them.

I used photobucket previosly and i try adding an image on the click to choose files but its saying only allowed up to 501kb

Hi everyone havent posted in a long time so i have got plenty of updates to add but i cannot add any images does anyone have any advice.

Thanks

Oh right what made you take them off if you dont mind me asking

When do you think the itbs will be going back on

Nice little sr you have there have you got any plans for it??

Nope I was selling

Oh well thank you then I think they look really good on the starlets

Did you get those mud flaps from eBay a month or two ago?

Ye I did for £15 I think it was. was you bidding?

Awesome mate nice to see another SR getting the treatment it deserves I need to finish underselling mine :/

Indeed thanks mate
