They are a nightmare in the wet too, as I found out today!! I think I'm going for blue centres and polished lips :surrender:

It's called Toyota Blueish Silver if I remember correctly from work, paint code A01. Available in three different shades so be careful you get the right one because if you get the wrong one it might look too blue compared to your car, or not blue enough. :surrender:

Welcome to the club mate.

That's excellent, well done Sam.

Cheers Phil, I think I go for blue centres with polished lip on mine.

Looks good, my mum made me one last month too which was pretty good! Hope you had a good one Si!

Lol at the mouse, should have let it dieeee! Skyline looks sweeeet as does the Glanza. :surrender:

Hello and welcome to the club! :surrender:

Can't take too long because my brother's car is off the road while we're doing this, I'll take my time with my own build because I'll be doing it on a spare engine. We have a few weeks for this so we're not rushing too much. The bottom has been rebuild in 2007 anyway so it can't be too bad :surrender:

Finally!! Looks sweet mate.

Welcome to the club, Glanza looks sweet!

Welcome along, yeah the little turbos are a lot easier to tune than the Hondas tbh but nevertheless the Type Rs are still very good.

Welcome along mate.

Welcome to the club mate.

Welcome along!

Thanks guys, no coolant problems at all the gasket looked fine. We have a spare head that we'll just stick on after skimming it, with a new gasket and headbolts.

Hey guys, As some of you may know we've had loads of trouble with my bro's FTE conversion, the first problem with the first engine was that it had no compression in third cylinder. Cylinder 1, 2 and 4 were fine but 3 had nothing at all. It sounded like a V8, was missing like mad, throwing flames out of the screamer and really struggled to rev. Now, as I looked in to it I heard that we could have bent a valve due to trying to get it running without timing it properly. At the same time people said the 4E has non-interference valves so therefore it can't be bent, however it could not be sealing

98/99 matey.

I'm borrowing my brothers wheels at the mo which have the Paradas and I think they're pretty good.. Some pics.. Anyone think I should paint mine the same colour?

Manifold looks good, looking forward to see how it performs.

As above, TRDs are very stiff therefore likely to explode on these UK roads!

Parada Spec 2s on order! :surrender:

Check this thread out mate, it has some pretty good info. http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35470 Although my 5E plans went down the drain!
