  1. Hi all,

    Well it's been a long long wait but are demo no1 wheels are finally here! These have taken over 9 months and are custom made in the states. They use these in the Miata Cup Series over in the USA, each wheel is balanced within 0.005 grams offering near perfect weight distribution.

    They are 15inch by 9inch, very very wide! They also retain the stock offset. These will give us a much wider track and will be utilised with 25mm hubcentric spacers. We can fit 275/35/15 full slick tires onto these ideal for time attack :lol:

    As some will know these wheels have prevented us from completing the main demo car. Without these we have been unable to make the arches needed to fit them. Now they are here the car is going off to the painters so fingers corssed she should be ready by early August!

    Anyhow hope you like the pictures and we look forward to posting the full write up! Nearly there! :lol:

    Thanks,

    Toby

  2. No that's expected with aircon no worries there! If you let the engine warm with no lights/heaters/electrical drain what RPM do you see? You can raise using the idle screw but if it returns to 400 then I would say the problem was elsewhere, otherwise it could have been altered at some point. Has it always done this or only recent?

    T

  3. Did you buy the diff from new and was it worn in using the figure of 8 method? In general LSD's can be noisy dependant on type but most buyers never ware then in which means they get really bad. As far as oil type use what the manufacture of the LSD recommends not what a random company recommends. The manufacture will know best :(

    only oil i could get at short notice was Royal purple.....only £17 a litre :p .......worked a treat though, feels perfect now.
  4. I would agree on the above you get what you pay for. Some of the hybrids out there are worryingly cheap so please be cautious when buying parts. So many go for the bargains and end up paying twice in the long run when it fails, trust me I have been there and done that! We squeezed 200hp from our units at 1 bar which isn't bad at all. Enzo's units look to be good as well, never seen a Tong Turbo and Speed Visions products speak for themselves :( As mentioned you pay peanuts you get monkeys, if it's too good to be true then it probably is!

    front mounting is the only option in my head but i think mesh is pretty good as a replacement if front mounting is a problem and you dont do rakes of miles, it will not do a job as effectivly as a front mounted filter but i suppose if you look at it from a different view thats why you have your oilfilter, and frequent oil changes (1-2000 miles) then it should be alot more effective then utilising that long inlet trackt and airbox, poeple will disagree or agree but there are alot outhere that use mesh,

    on a plus point, yea it does sound amazing, you can hear the hybrid unmistakably wisteling a treat.

  5. 28psi - 32psi should be enough for Proxes, if you plan to get 888 then you can go lower but the original proxe side wall is quite soft so you don't want to go too low unlike the semi slick cousins..

    cheers lads

    I check them every 2 weeks or so, but since having the new wheels I wasn't sure what the right pressure was for them

    oh well problem solved now

  6. You only need a turbo timer is you don't want to sit in the car and wait for the turbo to cool down. If you don't let the oil cool down the turbo can fracture with the heat stress, just needs a few minutes. Or is you calm down for the last 5 mins of driving then you won't even need to wait. We use Sigma on all our imports, good quality, not fancy and does the job. We used to have Cliffords but they caused us nothing but headaches! :(

  7. Yeah no worries just take you time with everything it will slowly get there, you don't need everything but it just highlights the most important areas to look at without naming manufactures, that's up to you! :(

    Look forward to hearing from you..

    Mate thats awesome, i think i will be getting some brakes from you guys pay day time. But will be looking at this list and seeing what i can afford and when.
  8. As above 3G, 1144 and some braided lines will be more than enough for fast road and the occasional track day. Stock disks and pads on the rear is also fine they have a very minimal rear bias like most FWD cars. You can always chuck in a BMCS for good measure if needed as these will really improve the pedal feel but apart from that you shouldn't need much more, also make sure you bleed the system thoroughly and use Toyota DOT 5.1 :(

    T

  9. Not you Rick the guys with stockish cars you need to run a high idle in order to move we run 2000RPM on idle :(

    For the others that are not purposefully running a high idle then make sure your throttle body is nice and clean, if you plan to adjust the idle using the screw then make sure the car is warm and the throttle postion sensor is dis-connected, if you adjust it with the TPS it will be unstable again.

    T

  10. Here is what we recommend to most of our customers looking for around a 200hp setup with brakes and chassis to match, you don't need everything below but it will certainly give you a good idea on where to go:

    â?¢ Hybrid CT9

    â?¢ Free Flow Mild Steel Manifold

    â?¢ Decat

    â?¢ Cat Back system 2.5inch

    The car is now expelling gases more efficiently.

    â?¢ Relocated Air Filter to front bumper

    â?¢ Heat Reflective tape for Inlet Track

    Car is now breathing more efficiently

    â?¢ Raise the Rear of the Bonnet with washers

    â?¢ Front Mounted Intercooler (wrap throttle body side pipes with heat reflective material)

    â?¢ Uprated Thermostat

    â?¢ Rad Cap

    â?¢ Consider better radiator and breather/header tank if planning on track days

    Car is now cooling more efficiently

    â?¢ New Spark Plugs (consider colder grades)

    â?¢ New HT leads

    â?¢ Inspect Dizzy/Rotor

    Ignition system now works

    â?¢ Uprated Fuel Pump

    â?¢ Fuel Pressure Regulator Kit

    â?¢ Engine Management/Piggy Back/Fuel Controller (depends how far you want to go)

    â?¢ Rolling Road Session

    Car now fuelling adequately

    â?¢ Uprated clutch with flywheel is poss

    â?¢ Quickshift Kit

    â?¢ LSD if poss

    Car can now handle power and you can shift quicker rather than stirring soup.

    This should net you around 180bhp - 200bhp on 18 psi max. This then leaves the brakes and chassis which will need to be sorted to cope with the power. I would recommend at a min:

    â?¢ Uprated Front Disks

    â?¢ Uprated Pads

    â?¢ New OEM Rear Pads

    â?¢ Braided Brake Lines

    â?¢ Cusco BMCS

    â?¢ Dot 5.1 Toyota Fluid (bleed dry and refill)

    You can now stop!

    â?¢ Coilovers / Fixed height shocks with springs

    â?¢ Front and Rear Strut Braces

    â?¢ Panhard Rod

    â?¢ Lower Arm Bar

    â?¢ Anitlift kit

    â?¢ Check and replace worn bushes

    â?¢ Good tires

    Power to ground greatly improved.

    Thatâ??s a basic list of what we recommend, obviously there are many more parts that will net you a good handling car that can stop with power to match but that should give you a good idea on where to take her pending needs.

    If you need any help let us know.

    Thanks,

    T

  11. When you alter the idle screw you also effect the base timing, if it's really low or really high then I would say you were only masking the problem. Is your idle effected badly by your lights/heaters or anything else that uses electrical power or is is stable regardless?

    T

  12. What will your car mainly be used for and do you have an idea on budget?

    We sell our own 4 pot kits for the front and have 2 pots coming out shortly for the rear. Other than that there is the 3G range which most go for, Mintex 1144 work well with these but again depends what you are looking for. We also sell stock OEM replacements if needed. Have a look in our brake section and if you need any help don't hesiaet to ask:

    Description:

    Stainless Steel Oil catch cans from AB88. Includes s/s catch can, s/s breather filter, oil hose & 2 x jubilee clips. Catch cans relieve the pressure placed against the valve train under engine load, but, unlike a crankcase breather filter, the oil used by the valve train will not drip/spary onto adjacent engine components which is common on the starlets. The oil catch tank will 'catch' all of the excess oil that is blown out by the valve train. This will help to keep your engine compartment clean and they look nice under there too! With a bit of thought these are easy to mount.

    A nice saving off the retail and a bargain when compared with Cusco/Greddy units. Breather filters are supplied with a chrome top.

    Description:

    Toy Tuning CT9 Adjustable Actuator for all Toyota Starlet EP82 and EP91 Turbo models.

    The Toy Tuning CT9 Adjustable Actuator is a direct replacement for CT9 actuator and simply bolts straight onto the stock Starlet CT9 turbo. Boost pressure can be raised or lowered accordingly by extending or retracting the actuator arm. The spring is much stronger than the stock actuator, which can become weak over time, thus making the Toy Tuning actuator a good alternative when running higher boost levels.

    This product will also help reduce boost drop off at high rpm and boost spiking. They are very useful if you are still using the stock ECU as you can reduce the boost and counteract modifications you make staying well with in the fuelling capabilities of the stock setup. These are a cost effective alternative to the HKS (£95.00) offering the same capabilities.

    Available for both the hole type arm (<92) and the pin type arm (>92). Please state which arm type you would like when adding your name.
