Got my HEL brakelines installed this weekend. Also restored my VERY hazy headlights and removed my stuck coilover and left it soaking in fuel oil. Gonna try to loosen it again later this week... A few pics: Also JayJ dropped by to install his new mudflaps...

What is this sensor on intake pipe and is it needed when relocating air filter? If not, what do I do with the vac lines and the connector after relocation?

How much for posting to Finland?

No I have a Blitz BOV. I've still got my AC on and planning to keep it (even though it's pain in the ass when doing anything in the bay ), so it's quite hard to relocate the filter. Any tips on that one? I tried to take off the excess metal pipe that comes from actuator, but the fixing screw is behind the power steering pump. I guess I'll just have to take the pump off to get rid of the pipe?

Looks totally ace!

Ok thanks! One more question about the nipple that is left open on the efi pipe. Should i bung it? I mean this one: The one on the upper left corner on the pic.

Well well, got something done today at our garage. Finally got the turbo and mani off. Wasn't as easy as I thought but not too hard either with right tools. Everything looks pretty well actually, clean and working! Only cracks I could find were in the mani collector: and in the wastegate: Othervise turbo looks nice and no shaftplay at all! Also tried my decat on the setup, fits like it should. This is how she stands now just befere leaving the garage tonight (with one new wheel on ;)).

LOL mine when I got it. Stock height is horrendous indeed.

Is this T piece necessary? I think I read somewhere that it might not be needed if you have bypassed the hi/lo boost solenoid?

I tried searching here and GTT, but didn't find straight and simple answer. I need to install my HKS actuator, but don't have the instructions. I found this, it's helpful but doesn't actually tell everything. https://home.comcast.net/~ronald_miranda/hksactuator.pdf The stock actuator has two vacuum lines. The other goes straight to turbo, but the other one. What should I do with that? I have removed the hi/lo boost solenoid restriction so can I just remove the other hose and leave it open, or do I have to bung it? All I have is this, not any other parts: I'm planning to turn the boost around 1 bar. The mods I have done by far are: Fujitsubo exhaust with decat Apexi air filter JAM ecu Blitz BOV Iridium plugs and I'm going to port the OEM mani. Do I have to think any other mods before turning the boost up (FPR, FMIC, fuelpump)? I'll get at least a boost gauge, but would a wide band lambda be necessary also? Is it possible that it will run lean on 1 bar if I don't have any other fueling mods than the JAM ecu? Will the OEM TMIC be sufficient for 1 bar? Othervise the stock internals should be able to last? I have around 148k km on the clock and the engine and turbo seem healthy. The car was totally stock when I got it so propably it hasn't been abused.

Thank you. No worries!

My pic wasn't good enough for POTM voting? :/

Got my braided lines today! Big thx to joel_ep91, they're mint!

Cool wheels Azz!

Haha, drop by and bring beer!

Got the TTE's today. ;)

Ffffuuu! Went to see the OZ's today. They weren't ultraleggeras but superleggeras. Would have bought them, but one wheel had a piece missing and you can't buy superleggeras anymore new and I'd need a replacement wheel for that one. Well, I'll try to contact the guy selling those TTE's then.

Here's a pic where it all started and where it ended.

Maybe I'll get them both? TTE's would cost only 150€ with bad tires. Though the seller hasn't answered my message... Gonna go and check out the leggeras tomorrow. If they're ok I might have to take them because they are CHEAP.

So cool! Turbo it!

H_D, how wide, offset and what size tires? Any rubbing or rolling?

Ahhh, nice one Broony! Here's another one, corolla with TTE's Kinda like them, haven't seen them on a starlet before and they are quite rare! The Ultraleggeras have quite similar look to my current ones, that's why it's a hard decision.

Thanks! Another option would be original TTE rims in size 16x7.5". Dunno will they rub, though. These could look mean in 040 white!

It would look something like this if I'll get them!

Ok, thanks! This was very helpful!
