One of those chain things? They fail!

Working tomorrow Few weeks! Moving out last week of September!

Thanks man! I'm gonna buy one anyway but I think they're cheaper on Ebay, any chance you could check the diameter and number of flutes for me so I could order one? Where and for how much did you get it?

Awesome, I'll definitely be after one soonish!

Mine Check the build thread in EP82 section In good time my friend @Ryan: Thanks for the advice, but I only want to spend money on POWERRR, for now anyway For the record, I blocked of all three hoses that lead to the Stock DV, but left the rocker cover breather loose (will be buying a breather filter) Thanks for the help guys!

Muchos gracias Senor Badger!

Muahahahaha! Thanks Ollie! With regards to converting my N/A, that was the original plan, but once I drove it, oh my God it felt so good. It didn't feel anything like my N/A to drive, the steering and general feel of the car felt so much more solid. It's only got lowering springs but handles awesomely on what I think are probably the stock KYB gas shocks! There's also the fact that this is an import which is cool in itself We stopped at a fuel station and had a chat with an old bloke in a classic car, even he had a lot of appreciation for it ;) I've had quite a few offers to buy my N/A too, and get the feeling that I wouldn't want someone else to enjoy my baby lol If insurance is still an issue next year or in 2012, I will break the GT and transfer everything into the N/A, if it's all good then I'll probably sell on the N/A Anyhow, like I said it'll only be engine mods until I can drive it, so if I can't get insured then all the money spent will still transfer to the N/A Got the chatter sorted earlier, thanks to those that helped! Sounds brilliant, can't wait until there's a filter relocation & FMIC! Oh, and I just discovered the car has an LSD gearbox, explains the awesome handling!! Can't wait until I sort the same handling mods as the N/A!

Thanks Luke! I'm sure you know how different a GT feels compared to N/A! And I don't mean just te power, but just it feels so different! Progress will be slow but I hope to make it into a little beast hehe Thanks! I think it suits the car quite well too! Ah right, I've never seen one so I wouldn't know, but it's definitely got Japanese writing on it I've checked general insurance for a GT and it should be good in 1-2 years time fingers crossed! You can say that again! Though the desire for more power has already begun!

Thanks a lot guys! Thanks Joz! Yeah it's pretty cool, neighbours must think we're mad, 3 EPs in the family now! ;) Definitely! This is the not quickest Turbo I've driven, but feels "just right" if you know what I mean haha I quite like the orange ones on Quads! I'd love a TOM's kit eventually Hehe first thing I did was get it cleaned before we came home last night! But definitely focusing on Performance alone for now rather than cosmetics!

Can't wait until this is all done!!

Love that!

Wahey, thanks for this! Turns out I have a Fujitsubo on the GT

Jam it is the exhaust mani's you're porting & polishing right? Have you got any pics? Might get it done by you if that's cool

Thanks dude!

Ah okay thanks for that! I thought it was an aftermarket DV on there, I didn't think recirc valves had an audible dump Steed yes, I want that awesome sound lol! There's always been debate about whether they damage the Turbos, a lot of people run without a DV so I'm gonna go ahead!

I'm completely new to turbo's as haven't got a clue Which pipes do I block off and with what? Thanks, Amjad

Thanks man! Hehe funny you mention that, first thing I did after taking ownership was to get it washed! Cheers dude! Yeah he's a monster compared to the '91 hehe can't get enough of boooost Probably not for a year or two, I've just posted up my build tread in the EP82 section

★Amjad's GT Advance ッ ★ Yup another member making the natural transition from N/A Starlet > Turbo It's a 1995 GT Turbo Advance, pretty much stock other than a dump valve, MR2 alloys, alarm and an Exhaust system! I know you're probably thinking, "why isn't it two tone?" well the owner wasn't keen on the grey and had it matched in black. Shame I know, but I still love it Bought it stupidly cheap, Cat C write off so it's off the road at the moment. I can't afford to insure it yet so might be a year or two until he's on the road! The damage is nothing major to be honest, needs a quadlight, indicator and a passenger side wing. Bit of rejigging behind the light/new crash bar and it's all good! In the meantime just gonna get it running sweet and building it up bit by bit! Eventually want it running 200bhp+, but for now stock power on this is a huge step up from my EP91! Had a run on a private road yesterday, I fell completely in love with it and knew I couldn't break it for parts! From the meaty steering and gearbox, to the lovely ride and handling, to whooshes of the Turbo, I can't get enough of it First thing on the cards is a full service, the oil is in dire need of changing! I'll probably take the AC out and maybe gut the cat too. There won't really be anything more I can afford to do until I secure a summer job next year as I'm off to uni in a few months! Here's some pics! I love the steering wheel! JDM Flare! Filthy The worst of the damage, scuff on the bumper makes it look like he's been crying Hope you like!

I tried the screwdriver method last time and that was a fail lol, the thing didn't really move! :S Then used a chain tool and EVENTUALLY got it off! Beast! Haha I'm not servicing an N/A Thanks for the advice guys, TMD it is!

Thanks a lot buddy that means a lot! PM on the way! It would, but I've fallen for the GT so badly! It's too clean/nice to drive to break! As above I really love this GT, and it would quite a bit of effort to get the running gear into the N/A! Thanks!

.

Found a few on Ebay, does anybody know the diameter and the number of flutes for the Oil filter? Thanks, Amjad

Sorry I know the quality is shocking, my camera is awful at night!

Thanks guys! Yeah I think only a drift/track slut can get away with vinyls like that *Update* This car will NOT be going Turbo..for she now has a Big Brother...
