Good things come to those who wait, while off yet. Forget to mention lightweight pulleys Mark, p/steering, alternator, waterpump, crank etc.. Thanks, T

Coming along nicely ;) T

That's the ticket, anything porus like a sponge is fine as it will restrict yet still allow air flow. Adjusting the actuator or MBC won't help as the turbo can't physically expel the pressure. I would imagine if you dis-connected the actuator arm so that the w/gate flap was loose, thus allowing all the pressure to be expelled (no boost) it will still boost as it's coming in faster than it's leaving. T

Looking good Mark, nice to see it all documented. Your on the right lines, the loom can be a real pain when you come to start the car. I went a little overboard on a loom last year and couldn't get the car to start. As long as your careful then you should be okay. Personally we couldn't loose the heaters, we've run without a dash before and it causes big misting problems with our sparadic weather, not ideal when your on the track. We used a portable heater in the car but even that wasn't enough, not to mention how cold it can get in those early/late summer months. Were now using the dash and heater matrix again, most of the crap within the dash has been removed leaving the bare minimum. We were also struggling to mount the gauges/electronics. There are 7 Greddy gauges, a 120mm apexi tacho with shift light, 2 Sard gauges. Sard Fan Controller, Sard I/C Controller, Link Boost Control Unit, Tein EDFC controller, not to mention the sat nav and radar dectector. Without the dash it would be hard to install everything whilst keeping it accessible unless I had made a custom dash which I don't have time to do, yet. You've removed most of the essential items, sound deadening is a painful task but worth it none the less, as you say it all counts. Not sure on what you have but you can consider the following as well: Carbon Bonnet Zep FRP Fenders Lexan Windows Front Bumper Side Exit Exhaust (less material) Lightweight Fuel Tank FRP Doors (Custom Job) FRP Rear Hatch Titanium Washers/Bolts/Nuts We are releasing Lexan lightweight window sets for the EP82 and Ep91 very soon, kits will include front side windows, rear quarters and rear hatch. These will save 60% of the window weight, are scratch/UV resistant and used commonly in Motorsport, one of the best materials. A custom fuel tank isn't too expensive and can save a substantial amount, we tried desinging an alloy tank for the front foot well. 35L meaning the weight was kept nearer the front where it should be on a FWD but space was limited and it meant loosing the passanger seat for good so we mounted it in the rear where the seats used to be. You can then use two fuel pumps and a swirl pot to feed the rail and prevent fuel starvation. After this it will start to get expensive, un-sprung weight is where it's but custom fabrication can be costly as I'm sure your aware. Keep us up to date and we must meet soon as am sure your pretty close. Best Regards, Toby

A MBC may not help in this case. In essence there are no restrictions now and the filter is very close to the turbo. In laymen terms the turbo can't expel the gases at the rate in which there entering. Imagine pouring water into a glass with a hole at the bottom, the water will exit out the hole and the flow rate of this water exiting will be dictated by the size of the hole. If you start pouring water in faster than it can exit then the glass will overfolw, this is like boost creep. You can either port the wastegate to allow more gases to be expelled or you can reduce the amount going in by creating a restriction. Try wrapping the filter in foam and re-test you may be surprised with the results ;) Best Regards, Toby

MMMM P1's ;) Lovely Glanza J keep up the good work. T

If your looking for an upgrade then it's wise to consider shocks as well. Lowering springs will put a lot of strain on old worn oem shocks. The spring rates are also unmatched meaning she won't handle well and ride quality will be poor. Lowering springs are okay as a cheap fix but most will end up buying shocks in the long run. Something like the Koni Adjustables with Whiteline or Tein springs is a good match as there quite similar. After this your best bet is either a s/hand set of coilovers from yahoo auctions or a new set. We also sell KYB shock absorbers but these are stock replacements so are not really suitable as mentioned before. If you need any help don't hesiate to ask. Kind Regards, Toby

Hi mate, I can have a good look on yahoo for you if needed, I'll also see if JAM have any surplus stock. Give me a few days and I'll see what I can do. Don't mind doing a discount on a HKS actuator if you need as these are adjustable. Best Regards, Toby

Pictures now added Thanks, Toby

Hi J, Sorry for the late reply we thought the forum was down. Any how we don't currently sell the defi lineup but we will be doing soon, I will see if I can locate one. Do you need the actual sensor or just the lead as they will proabably be split up. Can you also send me the part number of the gauge so that I can narrow it down. Best Regards, Toby

Hi Jason, Shouldn't be an issue. I'll have a word with our suppliers tomorrow and see what we can do. We've imported quite a few similar parts for a member on here so I can't see it being a problem. Send me a pm when you can and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Best Regards, Toby

Hi Andrew, We don't sell the Apexi one specifically but we can enquire. We do sell the Greddy and Blitz harnesses which will also work just the same for your turbo timer. Send me a PM with your Starlet model and year and I'll let you know which we can supply and at what price. Most of the harnesses are around the £15.00 mark. Best Regards, Toby

Yes Stu's a top man, always willing to help out so if your near give him a shout. There not too hard to tackle just a little fiddly. Cheers T

Hey mate, Sorry didn't realise it was you. As soon as the payment shows I'll get everything dispatched. With regards to the pump you don't need to drop the tank. You can access the old one under the rear seats as mentioned. Remove the plastic cover, dis-connect the fuel lines and lift the the whole assembly out. Replace the pump with the walbro unit and return as normal. They come with instructions but if you get stuck then let me know ;) No smoking as well Regards, Toby

Hi there, Contact Jay, he's a busy man so if you don't get through let me know and I'll have a word with them. Can you let me know what your user name was? Thanks, Toby
