Tell me about it mate. Yeah pistons and rods have also been balanced.

I had it notched too mate Bad news, car needs a full respray due to some silicone dropping in to the lacquer. God knows how as I cleaned the car properly, and I thought it was a good clean booth I sprayed in. I thought I may get away with flatting the lacquer and buffing it out but it's not looking likely so I need to start prepping the car for another respray. Gutted.

I'll give you a buzz shortly if that's okay Gaz.

Today I finally got my engine and internals back from having the machine work carried out. This was done by Drakes Engineering in Bradford and it looks like they've done a top job on it. What I had done: Block honed, skimmed and notched Pistons, rods, crank, flywheel, clutch and crank pulley balanced Block and cylinder head chemically cleaned Block lightly skimmed and notched for Scat rods Bores honed Fully balanced crank, flywheel, clutch and crank pulley Scat forged con-rods Wossner 74mm dished forged pistons AE bearings

Hey guys, I need a new gudgeon pin for my Wiseco pistons, does anyone know where to buy them from without waiting months? Do Toyota sell them, and if so will the OEM ones suit Wiseco pistons? Cheers, Idrees

Hey guys, Can anyone recommend me a decent torque wrench without spending big bucks? I just need something half decent to get me started with. Cheers, Idrees

Can you send me payment details please as I still need to pay for my second track session.

Looks awesome Dan, nice to know the engines running sweet. I hope mine goes the same!

Cheers guys, the kind words mean a lot and keep the motivation going. Next: Full machine buff/polish Paint and fit Varis style front bumper Collect engine from machine shop and get the engine build started! All the window and door seals have been refitted, and some have been replaced. More pictures and details over the weekend.

Glad to see your on the road mate, I didn't know you had this. It's one of my favourites too, nice buy!

Sam I've sold my ticket to BenV's boss who has an Evo. Sorry I can't make it, my car won't be ready in time.

I'm not even gonna watch it!

Some more pictures.. Fresh out of the spray booth Home time Lowered the Meister coilovers to the absolute lowest setting, no doubt I'll have to raise them once the engine is fitted though. I also fitted the black bonnet scoop, and gave her a quick wash (wheels and arches mainly). Here you can see where I've got rid of some holes in the engine bay as I won't be needing them with the wire tuck. Smooth battery tray, also the wiper washer bottle will be relocated to the rear That is all, for now.

Looks even better in the flesh, stunning Glanza.

Oh my lord, your front end looks insane. And I'm not even being biased! The black wheels really help set it off too. Strut brace looks lush too!

There will be no fluid leak when you undo that clip as it's just for the handbrake cable. I'd recommend using a blow torch on the nut/bolt you are stuck with. It always works for me, I don't even attempt this sort of work without a blow torch!

Loving the wheels, they look abit like Buddyclub P1s. Awesome work!

Cheers dude, that must have taken a while! Finished off with the ground coat.. Then out came the pearl A short while after I finished with this.

Awesome rims, where did you manage to source those?

Thread tidied to make it easier to read

I can't wait to see this done

Today I got started on the paint properly as the body was all prepped and I know someone who was very kindly willing to rent me their spray booth for the weekend. First thing in the morning I was on the phone to the recovery chap to shift her there. In the booth and final prep work being done.. Fully ground coated.. My new exhaust system - Fujitsubo Power Getter, I love it.

That's a Livesports front bumper too. Nice and different

Are you fitting it with the engine in car?
