  1. Working to a 5k budget on this one including the car which isn't spending too much for me haha.

    Ordered a new boost controler and a lightweight flywheel too on saturday

    Got some gauge's yesterday that I'm gonna fit and wire in, not going to put sandwich plate on yet, will do that when I pull everything off for the tf035 swap.

    Car has a fancy radio with equalizer and a sub which ain't my thing so will pull all that out today aswell.

    All the bits I've ordered should be with me end of this week/early next week so once I've had the clutch and flywheel fitted I'll be ready to do the turbo swap !

  2. So I had a dig through my garage and found a few cool bits from my old car:

    Braided brake lines

    TD low temperature thermostat

    JD tuning cooling panel

    RW developments battery tie

    2 sets of foglights lights

    Oilfilter

    Silicone rad hoses

    340lph fuel pump

    Also ordered a shit load of bits from TD including

    Paddle clutch

    Half rad

    Turbo related gaskets

    EMU field harness

    Tial 38mm wastegate

    Polybush bush engine and Gbox mounts

    Ignition overhaul package

    And a few other bits and bobs

    Also found a JDM titanium rear exhaust section (backbox) so will get pics of that when it turns up

    So hopefully in the next month or so She'll be making me some nice useable power, just need to find me a Gbox with an aftermarket diff and that'll be my mechanical's as I want them !

  3. Nah don't primer it, clean it and etch it lightly spray it (in a dry place) leave to dry for 30 minutes do another layer leave another 30 minutes then your all good, every time I clean my car (once it's fully dried) i spray over any marks in the core whilst it's still in place, just be careful not to get over spray on your bumper if your spraying close to it.

  4. Had a Starlet 3-4 years ago, was a badass car, broke it for parts, owned a few badass cars since but non of them quite made me smile like my old GT did, so I decided to buy another.

    Now I don't know if is just me, or have Starlets gone up in price considerably compared to 3-4 years ago? Anyway i've been looking for a reasonably priced one for a few month's but it was proving difficult, then a work colleague decided he wanted to sell his on and offered it too me for a very good price so....

    She's pretty bogo as you can see from the pics:

    Japspeed cat back exhaust (cat still present)

    Bleed valve at 10 psi and spikes to 13

    Airfilter

    Bailey dump valve

    Lowered on shock's and springs

    DMV wheel's

    OE aero

    Nardi steering wheel

    Razo gearbox and pedals

    OE armrest

    OE parcelshelf speakers

    Recaro seat and rail

    So far I've removed the Bailey dumpvalve (they sound awful) and plumbed back in the stock recirculation valve, swapped out the worn out recaro and replaced it with my Bride seat from one of my JZX's.

    This car isn't going to be as wild ad my previous GT but what will be done will be done properly and I want it to be very JDM.

    I am in 3 minds in what route to go Turbo wise, engine will be staying stock as my budget is limited (buying a house)

    My 3 choices are:

    Td04

    Tf035

    Blitz k1

    I know Td04 is the easy route as I've been there and done it, but the quicker spool and power delivery of the other two (more so the Blitz K1) are very tenpting. Anyone had much experience with the k1 ?

    Aesthetically i think a change of wheel's, front splitter/bumper and a Tom's wing will be all I do.

    Will keep this up to date as possible even with the little fiddly shit, cause that's what everyone loves !

    Comments and critism welcome good or bad.

    Thanks for looking

  5. Ep91 this time, I dont like owning the same model of car twice haha, s14 was good fun but i was using it as a daily, and when youve got 555cc injectors and plenty of fuel pressure the car drinks fuel no matter how steady you are, my personal best was 230 mile to £90 of vpower.....
