  1. Congratulations to the pair of you Sorry I couldnt meet up with you guys while I was up! All the best for the future
  2. Onwards and upwards There will be a thread with all the parts tomorrow so keep your eye's peeled Obviously I need to recover the car first so maybe by teh weekend it will start being stripped.
  3. Cant stop looking at 180's and 14a's, worked out there is £7500 worth of bits on the GT, be happy to get £5k back and go towards a nice specced streeto car
  4. Haha I also have some good memories in the 3 years of owning it, cant believe it has come to this again, another one goes down in history, almost.

    R.I.P. gary

    Such a nice guy RIP Gary you'll be dearly missed mate!!! xx
  7. None of you quite understand how I feel about this If I could afford to keep it I would, I have literally NO money, NOTHING! The only way I can get back on my feet is by breaking. Its fucking breaking my heart, feel like crying writing this out, all the time, money and blood sweat and tears put into building and sourcing all the BEST parts for the build and it didnt even get to see what it should of. I am devastated like you wouldnt believe there wont be another GT like this one, the same as my old Starlet
  8. Ahhh yea he was in my year last year
  9. definitley breaking, will be putting up a price list of everything tomorrow
  10. Thought this was the 4 paw then! That would of been gutting
  11. Cheers mate I dont think I could break it especially not even getting to feel it mapped! Its gonna be 800ish including the mapping gonna have to lend some money now to get it repaired Hahaha mate you know I want to do the right thing! Its all about if I can afford to or not so will find out tomorrow And yes that EG is over 650hp must be a right animal
  12. Hey bud, whos your mate? Good point mate yea will be doing all the rings again then. Good old Toyota research development and engineering haha got plenty of spare pistons here! Thats not a problem then as I have a few spare, and no worries mate Well we'll see what it could of been when we take it apart, I would think its DET as its still stock CR, may go for a 1.4mm gasket this time but yea we'll look into it
  13. My 460's will be for sale, away for the weekend so PM you when I am back
  14. Is this the end of the road for the GT? Stay tuned folks.....................
  15. Its like Rick said sometimes an untouched engine is better regardless of the mileage, his "runaround" car he took me in to the shopping centre in is the perfect example. Civic aerodeck estate with a b18 with 200,000 miles on the clock with a GT30 strapped to it pushing 400hp and getting abuse daily! All he did was bolt the turbo on there and the engine has never been apart! That thing was mental quick ;) Also I believe Driver's engine had never been apart. Once you start taking things apart and replacing certain things and leaving certain things then tolerances could be slightly different o
  16. Looking forward to seeing it running finally, such a long time but you cant rush the perfect build ;)
  17. Well it was all or nothing tbh not bothered about it at all, its done now, could of just been another TD04 Starlet running 1 bar ;)
  18. Cheers Mick, I am determined to drive this car at 1.2bar, I am!!! Its just at this moment in time I dont know if I can afford it, going to look into it on Monday and see what my best option is. Fingers crossed
  19. Hope everyone has a good day, gutted I couldnt make it ;) shit happens I want to see lots of pics and the print outs, maybe it will make me keep the faith
  20. I could easily throw the towel in yet mate, still need to pay Rick for mapping, possibly pay him to carry out the repairs, or recover the car myself, fix it myself but then if I do that it would have to go back up there so dont know whats the best option. TBH I think if I took it from there then it would be getting broke more than likely
  21. Something to look into but I really dont know if I can afford it. My mate came up and picked us up, me and my mate was just in a student bar all night getting ruined ;) Cheers mate will do. Cant believe people still think I am fucking about Rick said it was making good boost early at 1.2 and it went on the 2nd pull at 1.4bar. Yea it was more than likely the boost but there must be a reason for it to go and not too much boost because Rick has done a few at 1.5-1.6 bar but it is pushing it really. Yea it was but there is probably a reason it went, I didnt gap the rings or check
  22. I fucking wish. Just got in the house now. Car is still at Rickys with 5psi on cylinder 3. Dont know where to go from this tbh wont be at the RR day tomorrow and will decide whats happening with the car on Monday. Just one of those things when you try and push the boundaries Wouldnt take much to fix and the car is mapped to 1.2bar and was flying so hopefully if I have enough money I can get it done.
  23. I'll take two!! lol
  24. LMFAO Luke! And String have you seen my arms torque steer is no match for me ;) Cheers guys, hopefully some good videos tomorrow and saturday
