I like how the bumpers been cut for the fmic, alot less ham fisted than my attempt!

same here, up for it depending when and where like.

85 does seem to be to cheap. Does the reconned box have receipts to prove as well?

I think you do get different counts. The ones I've got apart just now are 30's. Pics of mine being taken apart:

23 and 30 , then abs ones and lsd ones

top stuff bud, hardly ever worth selling a partly working car

I thought you was selling up?

iirc the pipe on the outside goes down then to the actuator. any use?

Hopefully crail sometime in the summer.

yeah man, one kind would be the way to go, and just the abs ones with the pick up ring. Make parts easier to find. But no, they need to know the spline count which you need to know before buying the part, and to know that you need to take it to bits. Oh another wee update, bought a new turbo timer as the one on it is gay. Unfortunately the ebay folk close for christmas so aint even going to send it until 4th Jan, cunts. Teach me for not reading the advert properly!

I was thinking that bud, but the other set have a much more prominent cogs and are listed for the abs versions. So I'm guessing these are right, well hoping haha

Wee bit of an update, passenger side driveshaft has decided to start knocking away, so bought another set of shafts to replace, and then will refurb the ones I have. Since I had already replaced the passenger side one, I can start on that now. And Camskill got my parts here in less than a day almost, at this time of year and with the weather hats off to them for sure for the speedy service! Few pics: Original shaft in bits with the boots cut away 30 spline inner for these shafts: Inner joint all cleaned up: New cv on left, old on right: And since I didn't know how many splines I actually had, I bought 2 of each to make sure ;): Will get to do the other side once and finish this one once I have the driver side off as well. Then when the new second hand ones arrive I'll do the same for them, so I have a spare set lying about

Right guys, been changing over one of my cv joints today, and when it's been in bits, noticed that my old cv joint is a bit different to my replacement ones. Also noticed it has a 30 spline count any info I've found on here suggests it should be a 23 inner spline count? Pics for comparrison: As just wondering if the previous owner might have swapped the shafts with a n/a version or something? Also the new cv's have what looks a bit like a small abs pick up ring, they aren't and again my old one didn't have it. Any ideas guys or will it be fine?

how mine is mounted: Bottom brackets are just like strips of metal but bent down if you get me with rubbers to protect from vibrations

Easy to fit, one pipe of the breather and a breather on the other pipe unless you have a race spec rocker cover, then it's both ports into a catch can and a breather on it. Where you mount it is up to you, just make sure it's not on any moving parts eg the engine as any bracket you use will most likely snap.

is it for a td04 or just want to run an uprated rad? As for mine I needed brackets made up, although normally you can move one accross by unbolting and reweld one of them. Depends how you want to mount it as I needed it mounted real low to clear my wastegate. and as Ibz said, he should know, he done it himself with my old rad

I would like to but can't be arsed much tbh and don't fancy drilling more holes Maybe if I got a proper gauge pod thing but i don't like them much. appreciate the kind words bud, never heard it put like that before though lol

Thanks for the kind comments lads Not really interesting but pic of the emanage in it's new home: A few more tweaks for today, went to town to get some silicone hosing to tidy up how and where the boost controller solenoid was: From this: To this: Although not sure if I have maybe put it a bit far away but I didn't like having it upside down on the cross member and so close to the mani. Also had to tidy up the wiring in the interior as it was looking a bit like an abortion had happened in the car! No before pics as I didn't take any except for around the area below the stereo centre console but I didn't end up taking any after I had tidied it a bit. But nicely mounted boost and wideband gauges: Although I got a cable for my emanage ultimate so I can tweak it a little as it seems to be running a bit lean on idle, and I would like to get the hang of messing about with it myself. And also need to learn how to use the boost controller as well lol Also you might notice some pics it's filthy and some the engine isn't. I gave it a quick clean, usual way, throw some silcoline pro oil on it and a quick wipe down

that was real good to get it back after being 90 degrees like that! I call a mate dk, nothing to do with drifting though, Dope King, as he got his house raided by "the man" for drugs haha

red ones where from ebay but apparently don't fit, so I got trd ones. Although never had a look myself like.

right thats me home, mapping all done. It's quick to say the least. Some weird readings coming up on my wideband although not sure how accurate that is, and it's not on boost so not that worrying as apparently my wideband came up with different readings to his when it was being mapped. Although due to the weather never really got to use it much on the way back, and fear of the man taking my license away¬

Still not finished yet bud, an no idea, just left it with mike and nick lol

ecu and mapping was around 900 all in, can't remember the exact price though bud. And no idea if it does, I've never given it boost with the standard insert and I still haven't set off the dump valve on my drive down to warrington lol

Finally a big update :rockon: The car is now finished at Mark's and back with me ;) Took it to work but had to take it easy due to having no fueling or management so driving off boost is total gay like. But as soon as I got it home, threw on my AEM wideband and gauge, my HKS dump valve insert and removed the silly boost solenoid. I also got my TRD rear beam bushes from Rory's mate Fudi which I swapped for my old wishbones. Some general pics and some of my work: And tomorrow I'm off on a long trek to Nick for my emanage ultimate fitted and mapped. Along with my aem boost controller. Then when I get it back up I still need to fit my new steering wheel and Ultra racing rear arb, get those rear bushes fitted then enjoy, until respray time!

try hitting the rivets on the light unit itself, as I had teh same problem, although on my ep82 and it cured it.
