If you can get brand new twin pot calipers well priced I'd be interested in a set mate Think they are expensive tho. Aftermarket pads are dear for them (£100 a pop) the standard ones are more than up to the task. Back in the day I went full steam on everything ;) As for the WMS kits I'd wait for some concrete feedback first, not doubting Keri of course. Brand new forged pistons will come with their own specific set of rings dude. I'm always happy to give my input, not a prob. Joz

The block needs to be at least honed/crosshatched to accept the new pistons and piston rings. It will need bored/machined if there is any stressing or pitting in the cylinders after inspection. I haven't heard of any pistons that will fit straight in, but thats just me. Scat rods would be the cheapest brand of forged rod out there and I'm not knocking them. If it was my build I'd go Wiseco or Ross for pistons (both are tried and tested) and something different for rods (not scat) Pauter rods would be one choice or even something rare and jdm at cost e.g HRF. I'm running Levin AE101 Twin Pot

The stage I'm at now is before boost as my engine is still being run in (up to 700 miles), with not too long to go. Its already prepared/ready engine and modwise for the 1bar treatment which I will be doing once I get my emanage U set up later on. The red EP is running: CT9B HKS Actuator Properly ported standard exhaust mani Screamer Decat HKS Full exhaust Standard TMIC Standard Airbox/TRD Panel Blitz Dump Valve Walbro Fuel Pump Apexi Boost Gauge Emanage Ultimate waiting in the wings. The first step will be to setup the boost and then have her RR tested to see how she is running and of cou

The gearboxes are interchangable so no need to worry about that. I'm using a 4EFE gearbox with QUAIFE diff in mine. Its all easier said than done Asad. Check Streetracer_Starlet's turbo conversion and you will see the pure pain of the whole dash out job. I've not seen many use the glanza dials but if you have the whole dash loom and are prepared to take out the whole dash there is no reason why they wouldn't work. I use Paseo ones myself. I'm glad to hear you will be getting everything machined properly etc instead of just throwing it in. An engine crane would be the ultimate peace of mind.

Before investing in all of the engine parts and goodies I'd make sure that you have a decent wire loom and dash loom that is specific for the engine you are putting in EP82 or EP91 4EFTE. To me a good wiring job is the bread and butter of a decent n/a to turbo conversion as well as making sure you can insure it. Will you be attempting the wiring yourselves or get an experienced autospark to help? A full 'dash out' EP91 glanza loom conversion is the most time consuming (ask streetracer_starlet) and costly if not done yourself. For my conversion we used a running EP82 FTE and had the dash and

Happy Birthday K! Joz

Cheers guys @Jay - I think it was you who parked it there Roll on the next potm! Joz

The background subject is what makes the photo Thanks very much for all the kind votes. Is a huge honour to win this month's potm Credit goes to Alan D. Joz

I guess it isnt as bad as it looks bro but still not a nice feeling. Still a bit of work to restore it but don't let that get you down. Im surprised the canards didn't trigger their slice 'n' dice function... Wizard of Nos kit looks good. The pieces are coming together now. Joz

But will it turn out right lol you know hair products these days Joz

That is just ballbags mate Some days everything on the road is against you. Hope it doesn't slow down your momentum dude. Joz

I remember it vaguely man, care to refresh my memory... Joz

Hey mate Here's a link to Enzo's store EP Tune eBay Shop The CT9b replacement isn't listed at the moment but as above I'm sure he will be sorting you out. Joz

Thats great news that you got a job rolling again mate. All the best with it and get the starbucks saved up. Joz

But Ryan did you know that 'Bed Head' is actually a style that can look good Joz

I totally agree with Riko. I'm now a brunette Got my hair dyed one place and cut at another (head massage is really good ^^) Some of us guys need pampered too (because we're worth it!) Oh and pics please Georgie so we can see how BAD GOOD you hair turned out! Joz

The engine bay will also be pretty tight! Nice effort on ideas tho Chris. Refreshing. Joz

Nice project you have going Monsen Some nice subtle mods happening. Glad you got your pics working now. Keep up the nice work. Joz

Cheers Si Its a completely different ballgame parts wise. So many options and deals on every other week. Gonna enjoy what the ct9 has to offer at least until the new year An emanage tune-up should do her wonders. Also gonna give the screamer pipe a chance She was really nippy off-boost and caught me offguard moving off Jay's driveway lol. EP is so light compared to the bigass beemer I'm driving at the mo. Not long now mon frere... Joz

I just had a sarnie and chocolate mousse so maybe later on Keri Joz

Looks tasty mate, that WEPR workmanship will do you proud The next mani I buy has to go to plan with the future setup so I can't just buy a plain uprated ct9 mani. Am running ported standard at the mo. Most likely external wastegate mani I reckon Joz

Glad you approve of the work that has gone on Lew She's nearing 400 miles of the run in period and had her 1st oil and filter change courtesy of Jays Garage today. Not too long now until we can start setting the boost and drive at higher revs when we near 700 miles. A complimentary dyno run is on the cards after the run-in to see her current stage 1 power output. Fuel economy is also good so everything is on track. Engine and gearbox are both tight. I'll have her dynoed again after CCM works their magic. Just having the finishing touches sorted such as an alarm, new square plates and bit '

It all depends on what setup/turbo and boost you are running that will enhance the sound of the valve and the chatter. I own the tried and tested Blitz SS (trumpet) on a standard ct9 and it sounds decent (short, tight and sweet), an all rounder. Paid £50 in decent condition. Many will also recommend the HKS SSQV series. Both are the most commonly used. You will find quite a few sound bites on youtube, well worth a look. Joz

Congrats mate! I bet the work was not easy but give yourself a big pat on the back. Takes dedication to get honours like that. I got my HND in Software Development last year and was a great feeling. I also worked my ass off and became a nerd lol! Will prob top it up later on. Lets hope you can make it up to the starlet All the best for the future. Joz
