  1. Why not try swapping with someone who already has normal ones?
  2. What time(s) are you planned to go on track Iddy?
  3. Off I go..think this is gonna be an all nighter!
  4. Looking good Zac! How are you finding the twinpots? I got my Single pots bled with the help of ryan_lang earlier and I was astonished at how powerful/sharp they are even without braided lines (it feels like it has them already!)
  5. Yep UK NA Starlet belt is what you want! Rushing here too, gotta spray 3 wheels and 4 calipers
  6. I'll see if I can do something if this weather ever lets up
  7. Unlucky man Keep this one 6P2 pweaaaaaase!
  8. I wanted to watch this It looked amazing on the adverts!
  9. Oof that black works so well! That pic you posted up on FB, I daresay it looks meaner than that Evo
  10. Been following this but haven't posted until now, awesome work lads, can't believe how quickly you've managed to do this! As for colour, I like GTs/Vs resprayed in standard colours, but in slightly different shades and variations. E.g. this Aztec red?
  11. Just been polishing up the rim on one of my wheels, gotta paint that as well as grind, fill, sand, polish and paint another two wheels tomorrow before the car is ready for JF eek!
  12. Hahaha TD04 is immense! Good job dude!
  13. Loving the flush look, one of my favourite V's
  14. Thanks Lew! I managed to get all of those jobs done bar the painting, running just under a bar..still bored of it lol! I want TD04!! But it does go well as an Astra CDTi found out earlier hehe Thanks dude! Nice one for that! Shame I already bought coolant a few weeks ago I'm down there tomorrow to pick up the shock bolt, I'll ask if they have any Well like I said managed to do all those little jobs. Sensors are no longer leaking, Actuator turned up to about 0.95bar and rad flushed with fresh coolant! Just need to paint the wheels, brakes, bleed the brakes again and fit my Sparco harness! Oh, and give it a wash Roll on Saturday/Sunday
  15. Speaking to Amir today, don't think him, and us welsh lot will be coming here, but straight to the Donny services instead?
  16. Hope it's nothing you can't sort
  17. Thanks guys! The gauges are a good investment as they are really useful, but they also look freaking awesome! Haha *Update* James again kindly helped me fit a lot of the stuff the other day, car is pretty much ready for Japfest! We got started by doing the brakes.. Old disc vs New disc New caliper vs Old caliper And fitted! They look massive, you can't even get your finger in between the caliper and wheel lol Then onto the new oil sandwich plate I bought A silly amount of metal had to be grinded off the PAS bracket! Engine bay before Civic rad.. Fitted Engine bay after Civic rad Also managed to get the rear NA suspension swapped over onto this (didn't have any spring tensioners to fit new springs). The bottom shock bolts on the NA came off nicely, but the ones on the GT were truly seized! I went to a garage to nip these off, and they almost snapped the bolt as the neck of the bolt was stuck in the sleeve of the shock but luckily they managed to remove it. I've used one of the bolts off the NA for now but a new bolt and nut is coming from Toyota on Friday. Finally sitting pretty! I've also got a new rubber oil return hose & oil feed gaskets from Toyota for piece of mind The brakes so far, still bedding in but already they feel better than the old ones! I cannot wait until they've settled in so I can experience the full potential! It's a shame I couldn't get the Water Temp gauge running before changing the rad, but the Civic rad seems to do it's job. We only had a chance to fill it with water as I left my coolant at home, but temp hovers around 80c, and the fan is bloody powerful so all good there! And now that the back end has been dropped, looks and feels infinitely better! I'm finally confident of this car's abilities around a track lol We also turned the actuator up two turns, only went to about 0.85ish bar, but the increase from 0.7bar was very noticeable! The woosh dump at high boost is now a high pitched chirp (like Taggy's GT at JF2 last year) and it pulls a lot better. But I will be upping boost a little more Just a few more things to do now before we leave for JF2 on Saturday: - Drain rad & replace fluid with Red coolant - Apply PTFE tape to oil, water sensors - Turn actuator to 1bar - Fit new oil return rubber hose & gaskets - Put in a new headlamp bulb for the one that went pop lol - Finish painting the pink wheels! (As I need the grip from the T1Rs on track) - Paint brake calipers if there's time Let me know what you guys think Amjad
  18. I love this! You should've bought a track session!
  19. Looks really nice, almost sleeperish! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses
  20. Nice V And you have to block the vacuum leaving the intake with something for chatter
  21. Nice gauge, I've got a few the same myself hehe
  22. TD website doesn't open on Google Chrome iirc, try Firefox
