  1. Hi Joz, they look identical to be honest. really busy at the moment so will be friday till i can make some pics.
  2. it does not directly DAMAGE the turbo, but using some common sense you could understand the following> the blades of the turbo spool up to a high speed, this causes friction that is cooled and lubed by the oil. when a turbo has no bov the air compressed air can not escape and will push back against the blades slowing it down very fast and thus putting pressure on the blades, making the chatter noise. This puts extra, unneeded in my opinion, stress on the turbo causing it to wear faster. just my 2 p everybody has the right to run with or without bov.
  3. yeah, what RobSR said, when i switched to TRD shocks i did not tighten the top bolt up propperly it started knocking after a while! i used a airpowered tool to tighten it up and knocking stopped. tightening up manualy will mean that the inner shock tube will turn in circles together with the top bug nut and you can keep turning it forever without result, a airpowered tools works a treat. just my 2 p
  4. nice parts you got there Joz! With all the parts coming in it's all coming together, and once this car is running it is gonna be a truly epic EP that will go down in EP history thats for sure!!
  5. Nah RicoW, in the UK they got the SR as the special edition. I got the TRD leads and adjustabel shocks! yay for me I really would like the 1DIN coin/stuffholder and what do i see at the bottomright on page 2 next to the glowing ignition barrel? green neon? lolz! that bucket seat look crazy!!! i got a brochure of the euro spec Starlet, i think it's different than the ukspec one, will see if i can scan it

  11. looks nice mate! great first car! and whats up with the dickheads on the forum nowadays? i cant help but think more and more cars are getting slaughtered by GTT's and Glanza's, and people are getting annoyed?! only way to bite back is to start trashing them on forums?
  12. gonna give it to a local sprayshop, the just punch in the colourcode of the car in the computer and it mixes the paint for them should be ok picking up the wheels today, got tyres waiting: T1R 195/45/16, hopefully it won't scrape, but since the car isn't lowered i think it won't. pics soon, going to a big event on sunday on Zandvoort. Dirft/TimeAttack/Sprint = lots of fast cars. will be making lots of pics!
  13. scoop aint black, its the FRP-one, dont know yet if i am gonna colourcode it.
  14. both look propper! good pictures to, wouldn't say they are unsharp.
  15. sold seat and gearknob to MikeN i am looking into getting a set of black racing PRO N1 in 16 inch. what you guys think? further i received the gaiters, the ebrake thingy is horrible!! Reverse scoop ordered and on it's way from mc_chu and a few other bits and bobs on their way over.
  16. your car looks so mint! the enginebay is spotless!! good seeing people doing the whole thing not only engine but also handling and braking! your Cusco front lower arm bar looks like it has had some contact with tarmac, does it scrape easily or only when lowered a lot?
