shorty

id like to scond the fact that a spc type sheet is far better than just a user name/real name as tbh unless you dont speak and spend a whole show stood next to the car, or worse still put a photo of your self on the sheet then it doesnt realy give much extra info tbh. i used to put full spec sheets in the widscreen of the v, tbh as daz said it will give far more insite to those who dont realy see Know just how much effort and time goes into these cars. if you walk around the evo's and scooby's at shows they always have spec plaques on show and people know how much work goes in to a car like t

Well not much to update atm. Waiting on my gt loom to arrive and have started servicing and changing some bits on my forged engine ready to go in the car. Also emailed a guy at powerflex I've delt with before to sort out making some poly engine/gearbox mounts and also some rear arb bushes so will update if anything comes of it. Turbo grant is sorting some stainless out for the custom exhuast system so with some luck she should be progressing in the next few weeks.

Bear in mind the ep91 coilovers wont fit so you will need to sell em and buy meister ep*5 coilovers. At 1.2 on a basic forged engine prob around 240-250bhp on a forged though you could run 1.4 on a td04 all daylong and get 270-280bhp lol not that im trying to encourage you.

Snooper is the one you want!! Mine saved my arse loooooooads of times!! And eyes open like a hawk dosnt show you the sneaky bastard in a lay by with a speed gun but the snooper will as he is your freind!!

Enzo for the car and dave at tm for the forged engine unless your building it yourself dude as for td04 kit sacha at wepr or ricky at race tech. Your looking at spending probs around 6k+ to do it all though and thats without any other mods atal, litraly just car engine and turbo kit so better get saving

Hamerite bbq paint ftmfw!!!!

No probs dude got one lined up now anyway

Theres a few horror stories from engine damge due to powder coated rocker covers, its to do with heat decipation. Based on that i wouldnt risk doing it to a sump tbh mate. New sump is only around 80quid give or take.

Id take an frp one, but tbh these have been discussed by nearly every trader who deals in body parts at some stage or another and no one has ever made one quicker to make your own im afriad mike.

Lmao exactly wat i thought!! No offence to you ash but you only have yourself to blame for your ongoing trouble as you chose not to take it back when you where told too.

There are no oil ways at the front but oil coild be coming from the filter housing on the block and spraying up. Tbh im suprised as tmd are normaly shit hot! And i know a few people running their forged lumps with no issues atal. Id phone dave and have a word again, dave has helped me out with advice and parts many times over the years and its rare to hear of an issue with them. Im not saying you arnt having problems as you clearly are, just that its a suprise that you havnt come to some sort of resolution with tmd. Edit: Dave beat me to a reply as i typed lol, cant say fairer than that if he

Lovley turbo the k1! Waaaay over looked these days tbh.will spool quik on the 85's gear ratios.

Wish i could help got a spare mk1 bumper with oem lip though if thats any good to you instead of mk2/3? You would need the mk1 bumper bar instead off a mk2/3 one to fit it but toyota sell it for £26. You plan to turbo yours? And keep an eye on the na if not as even though mine had only done 45,000 miles it looks like the stem seals faild and she burnt up all her oil and ran dry, wich is why the bearing on the crank has shit itself ;) looks like the na's had a tough life in japland.

lol i thought you would of but you never know some times lol

hope the solderd joints on the other pic will get heat shrinked or taped as it could get messey if two touch on the twist of the key

should fit as far as im aware dude they are the same but i would save for coilovers if i was you mate, as you will get any drop you want as well as a better ride.

what about engine loom dude? im soooo desperate it untrue

Cheers mike im quite lucky tbh as my good friend turbo grant is as starlet mad as me and between us we have a gt doner and glanza doner plus his caged 5e gt and my 4wd so plenty of bits floating around, my 4wd has only cost me around £170 so far not including my alloys. As it now wears 90% of grants old gt on its body! And the glanza is donating all the vital engine bay parts for the turbo conversion so as soon as i can get an uncut gt loom we are away ;) we are fabricating our own exhuast system and just need some minor exterior bits n bobs needed plus guages and coilovers then shes

Thanks dude yea gonna be awesome with more grunt under the bonnet, expecting to see around 300 ish on the glanzas old forged lump, then few months down the line got something planed to help see around 340+ will just see how it goes though tbh. Need coilovers sooooo badly lol.

Price on full engine loom with fuse box ect. Basical all electrical parts from the engine bay.

Cap, act or competition clutch will be fine enough for that. Anything above standard and uprated should be fine.

Full engine loom with fuseboxes ect? Just engine half though not interior loom. Pm price please im desperate

Swaped mk1 gt doors on to it mate, mine where a bit battered and turbo grant had two freshly painted doors sat around he wasnt using since he ended up getting aze's green shell. Also side skirts we only bonded the rear brace on then just double sided preasure taped the kit on aswell. Took around 3-4 hours all in to completly swap the 85 to a gt body. Still some bits to do though as I've not finished the outside to how i want it

Yea exactly, if i didnt have my old engine id be gutted and probably panicing but as its all sat there waiting and i was thinking of using it anyway so its no big deal just a bit of an inconveniance tbh haha

Aye i loved the lil na tbh but never mind needed boosting soon so just have to crack on and do it sooner haha
