Not sure what kwik fit put in but the john bean equipped garage put in toyota>starlet>PAS and went from there although there was an option for the SR Would it have made much of a difference to the scale of the readings on the computer? It did say standard alignment at the bottom of the screen...They still couldnt get anywhere near -1 he didnt try any other settings/click something else was just adamant his machine was right and that my car was shit EDIT: Just been and undone the topmounts to rotate them 180, they are infact in the right position rotating them puts them in the wrong position (same as iamlegends) currently in this position driverside Passenger side

Hey all its getting to be abit of a joke now, i have meisters/whiteline antiflift kit and poly drop links and front bushes, its been at two different garages now (kwik fit and a john bean equipped garage) they both cant seem to give me the alignment settings i want -1 camber 0 toe and max positive camber (+2) they loosened the top mount and took it all the way in (towards the engine) and the computer read -0.23/-0.30 both saying they cant get anymore out of it (i was present at the latest garage) and did see it cant be taken any further....im 99% certain the top mounts are fitted correctly they look nothing like iamlegends did in this thread and resemble his after he turned them 180 degrees which leads me to think they are fine? http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showth...ighlight=camber both put in the correct details of the car and follow the scales on the screen to no avail....luckily i havent had to pay anything as the work wasnt carried out. Do they have to go in to some sort of custom setting part of the softwear or do as they have done and punch in the cars details and set accordingly? im going to have a play with the topmounts and the two lower bolts tomorrow before i take it to the third garage to try my luck....ill post up pics of the top mounts both shops addmited they dont do custom settings and one fat fuck even said "we dont do shit like this we usually do mercs" my old man is friends with them otherwise i would have knocked his teeth out the cheeky cnut be naming and shaming later.....extremely poor customer service!!! anyway.....can anyone shed any light? is something else wrong? or are the shops doing something wrong with regards to the softwear?

Nope not done them yet, probably be done in the summer when unis out....still in two minds may just rip the head off and do it that way also get a chance to give the piston tops a good clean and the exhaust ports

Rough up the pipe with some light grit sandpaper and spray some normal cheapo hairspray on the pipe (get a good covering all round it) then clamp it down -
Are you going to take the head off and do it? yes they just push on when the valve spring is off there are uprated ones avaliable on tgtt, ep82 and ep91 are the same only real advice is make sure you put some clean engine oil on them when you put them on and dont get the buckets mixed up (label them in a egg box)

for my N/A set the ride height as you want, i went for 40mm on the rear and 35mm on the front (the thread gap is what i went by) iirc i have 6 clicks on the rear and 12 on the front (rear has a harder spring or something) 1- camber and zero toe oh and loosen everything off and throw plenty of copper grease on then cut a old inner tube up and tie clip it on to the threads

Iirc the cam pulley is at the 12 oclock point at the 4e mark and the crank notch is at 2oclock-ish with the crank pulley showing 0 on the timing belt cover when assembled
-
Check on tgtt bud apparantly theres two ways of doing the torquing....what timing? Timing belt or ignition timing?

Look like the best ones yet tbh, they are however incorrect the brass insert doesnt go oval not that ive seen its the actual rubber bush which is the problem for the starlets -
It was in technical > braking, at the top where the twinpot ones are
-
Thanks for looking, amjad can vouch for it being there dont think anyone else commented on it, it was stickyed to the top quiet quickly

Probably been deleted, fuck that then im not putting in the keyboard time for someone to delete my stuff without even letting me know.....doesn't really do your cause any good ^

i had trouble getting my old n/a into first gear sometimes, when changing the front gearbox mount i noticed it had distorted The new mount never gave me any trouble so id change them all out for poly/trd ones oh and change your gearbox oil lads makes a noticeable difference iirc redline is the stuff to go for

i did a brake review not long ago i wanted to add my final opinion but cant seem to find it ^

Asad replied to dai_ep82's topic in 4E-FTE Engine Discussions
Mine went on a treat, no issues whatsoever with idle....did you move the throttle cable bracket over? Make sure the throttle is fully closed and not being held open by the throttle cable? throttle body gasket ok? Block off all the un-needed ports on the mani? Inc idle control valve? -
