Flippin Heck that manifold is bad 1 of the next things on my ever growing list is to get a manifold but still unsure what one and what turbo setup i will be running. Luckily it didn't do any damage to the rest of the car. Keep up the good work Socks, this car is mint!!!!!!!!!

well, its a small update but an update none the less. Got a call from James @ TGT this morning. Chassis is now pretty much there and someone has also looked at doing my cambelt change and adjustable cam pulley. Turns out my crank seal is shot so they have ordered a new one and should be delivered tomorrow. So new cambelt, tensioners and adjustable pulley will be fitted tomorrow. Also been lookig at te fuel system in detail. Have some idea's for this and hopefully they work out ok??? Also had a problem with the fuel sender i wanted to use but it seems after hours of research i may have found a way around that hopefuly. and im still waiting on parts Harnesses, Gaskets, Laser cut fuel cell parts, fuel sender, dowty seals, bolts and HKS ssqv. Don't these people know i need my weekly product fix!!!!! This weekends update may be a little short as im busy this weekend with other things but hopefully next weekend will be a bit more juicy Jason

That Saxo has just given me Face cancer Those are landrover lights on the back, i was going to use them on mine but went for the other landrover lights

yes likewise. Its weird going to work to actually work

Thanks Guys there perfect Jason

Hi All, Just done a little search and can't find what im looking for. I know ToyoDIY have had all there diagrams removed but does anyone have or know where i can find the fuel pump diagram for a GT/Glanza. My fuel pump assembly is missing a few parts and i need to work out what im missing as i never really looked at it when it was in 1 piece. Plus on a side note does anyone know what range the existing fuel sender is? I need a fuel sneder that works on a 0-100 Ohm range so that it will work with my new custom dash Gauge. Im guessing nobody will know this bit but i will have to test mine and see what is comes out at and hope its correct. Jason

Cool, if im free i will pop over, im only 10 minutes down the road

Welcome to the club Car looks sweet dude! Jason

Im going out of my mind!!!!!!!!!!! Just went round to see the Girlfriend, im currently driving her Yaris 1.0 litre. On the way round there i had a R8 up my ass most of the way until he got a clear road and then was off like a rocket past me! I NEED THIS THING BUILT!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH Was going to concentrate on spending the coming months budget on labour and not buy any parts but FUCK IT! Im going to up the budget for the next few months so i can get parts and pay for labour as well. I so need this thing on the road, its driving me nuts! Driving the girlfriends yaris doesn't help either as its so slow! Although it does keep me motivated to get this thing done more i guess. More updates coming next weekend, Hopefully big news Jason

Recently went to Wales and that Black mountain road is INSANE!!!!!!

I may turn up if im free, if you don't mind a Yaris/Lexus tagging along with you guys

Good choice Mark ;) Looks flippin Mental, would love something like this Jason ;)

Thanks Mate ;)

Yes, frame is going black now though and powdercoated rather than painted as its easier to do. Been told it will cost alot more to paint as its a real difficult shape to do. Powder coat is electrically charged so should be easier. Will have green Harnesses, nosecone, arch's and also thinking about getting the minilites done in green with polished lip ;)

Thanks mate, she's getting there. ;) Got them from a guy on ebay, they are the shorter ones i said about before. Don't think they will be any good for you as they bolt in just behind the seat, so you would need a harness bar to fit them.

By engine bay colour do you mean colour scheme or the actual engine bay as in the car chassis?

Finally set up the subscription ;)

This thread makes me feel OLD!!!!!!! I remember being in Florida when the original Game Boy came out and buying one in Toys 'R' Us, was the envy of all my mates as i had one ages before they came out here ;)

Thanks Steve ;) I am really cracking down on this now and just getting on with it as much as possible. I have a few parts that need sorting but give it a few weeks and the engine will be in and i will be looking at getting it connected up and driveshafts made

*** She's Rolling *** Been a busy old week really, as usual at the moment ;) Took the nice MDF mould i made for the arch's and spent the evenings during the week fibreglassing up the first arch. I didn't know if the fibreglass would stick to the mdf or if the mould release would actually release the arch. Took a gamble and it paid off. Came out pretty easily to be honest and the second arch is currently in the mould awaiting its final layers. I have used 2 layers of woven fibreglass and 3 layers of CSM so the arch's are really thick!!!! They are about 4-5mm thick so i can get away with having no edging trim and just round the edges over. Im going to try and see if i can support them just at the side also and not have any metal under the arch. This means i can get them closer to the tyre, aiming for a 15mm space between arch and tyre ;) in the mould......... taken out....... and trimmed down, the template shows the smallest arch legally possible and i am just over the limit, you can see how thick the fibreglass is........ Here is what the arch's i bought before look like on the wheel, you can see that they don't follow the wheel radius well and they are quite big in size..... and my design, follows wheel radius perfectly and is tiny in size I think these arch's will look great when they are properly on! Whoop Whoop! Well got up to TGT yesterday morning at 9am and got things rolling, literally, yep thats right she's back to a rolling chassis Spent the day getting the rear frame welded up to the main chassis and its all there. When i had arrived James had already got the bottom welded up but we just needed to sort out the topmounts. Sleeved the downtubes and got the new topmount plates in place. and welded up....... the gaps are getting filled with metal/weld and then ground flush so the topmounts and light brackets sort of blend into one another........ Rear engine mount has been removed also as the location will have changed with the work and new one will be going on shortly. Also managed to knock up the seat bars, these will get welded to the bars that are along the floor. I have also got a few things on order, the laser cut pieces for the fuel cell have been ordered and should be here tuesday. As well as some rather nice Green TRS harnesses and a knock off HKS SSQV BOV. Yes its a knock off but if its really that bad i will buy a proper one and swap the internals over so it looks all new and shiney. Will give me the chance to weld the adaptor to the pipework and mock things up. I owe James for 2 full days labour but if my budget can stretch to it this month im aiming to get the suspension brackets on, cambelt change and new Cam pulley installed, and the engine and gearbox going back in the chassis...............fingers crossed. Next jobs are to start working out the fuel cell. I have a fuel pump form a starbo, it is missing a few bits but its mostly there! as always i will keep the updates rolling. Jason

Could it be your insurance company signed you up??? Some insurance companies try and sell you this sort of thing, maybe it was added onto your insurance when you renewed/swapped? Jason ;)

Sold Steve a Clutch a while back and although he didn't have the cash i said he could pay at a later date as i knew he was desperate for it. Needless to say he paid up as promised! Top Bloke!

and so are doors, windows, roofs, windscreens...........

Yeah will defo be all stickered up with UKSC when she's done, anyway.......... How's yours coming along Steve, im guessing by the fact that you haven't posted it up yet you don't have the gearbox yet???

The Demon is calling for alot of things but these are low down on her list! First she needs her ass reasembled, poor blighter
