  1. manga graphics would look good with some tasty wheels, there is a design going spare form another forum i'm on: its designed by a guy called mook, this was originally for a soarer, his stuff is amazing, second to none quality check his stuff out at skewer.co.uk
  2. would indeed look great on some coilies,
  3. welcome to the club, any pics?
  4. yeah he was the inspiration for the TT600 throttle bodies. the thing i've learnt most from fitting the ITB, whilst retaining the stock ECU and gubbins, is to pay attention to the MAP lines. removing all the PCV lines and just leave it with a breather on the up right and a pipe (smaller diameter than stock) on the other to emulate having a manifold attached. also it's easy to use the original throttle positions sensor with the throttle bodies and adapt the throttle pulley to fit. you'll need the plug in the Idle Control Valve so the ECU still thinks it's there (it'll over compensate otherwise).
  5. awesome looking car, so analy immaculate. also i didn't know that the paseo had a sun shade, mine never did and i've never seen one before this thread. (it did take another paseo owner to show me that the sun roof came out as well)
  6. i have corolla SR setup just lying around, big single pot style that i'm going to be using. once i've tidied them up of course.
  7. awesome looking machine and impressive beginnings of a spec list there.
  8. just seen this, what a build thread. some great idea i think i will be stealing...
  9. they started life on a triumph TT 600 not 100% sure of the year though, but i got the idea as i'd recognised the itb's from some one else's starlet based vehicle using them. don't know what the Code is, i'll have a look for you, the sticker was pretty faded as not to give a great idea as to what it's frim. i might ask our local dealer or check it on my step mom's corolla G6 and then i'll get back to you.
  10. surprisingly so, it's feels a bit hesitant in the lower gears (i think thats because i haven't sorted out the exhaust manifold yet, that next on the list) but in 5th and 6th the top end has noticeably more pull, even on the standard everything.
  11. it reminds me of one of them grey'd out CGI youtube vids where the guy goes on about how awesome his car is and how rubbish everyone else is.
  12. you could fit the Tein super street springs? that's what i've got 50mm drop at the rear and 57mm at the front (apparently)
  13. sweet the ashtray is an awesome touch.
  14. looking good, drop it a few mm and it'll look sweet
  15. try skewer.co.uk he makes some awesome custom stuff
  16. at this point i need to explain that i presently have 4 current cars on the go: 96 paseo 99 corolla 78 316 73 spitfire 6 cylinder 1: on axle stands with all wheels removed.......... 3: playing in the snow.......... 6: In your garage 8: on a track.......... 11: you in your car engine bay......... 12: of your Dirty/filthy car......... 22: at a car meet.......... 24: in deep snow.......... 25: hauling cargo..........

    The End Of Tpm

    ooooh, i was looking forward to the second issue. i'd subscribed and everything. this is a great loss.
  19. i've seen cosworth yb blocks go in these. awesome little cars
  20. yeah, where as the old 5 speed i dropped out of the power band when changing up to 4th and 5th the G6 box is geared just right to change, dropping into the bottom end of the power band for each gear.
  21. my engine with the G6 box fitted dropping in a days work done:
  22. well yesterday i was busy working away the whole day at the garage i use. i turned up with this in the boot of my car: it's a corolla G6 gear box, purchased from eBay for the princely sum of £99. i unwrapped it from the mutlitude of packaging: to reveal this: and it would be going in here: first thing's first bonnet off the get the crane in: crane in and taking the weight: then popped the rive shafts out leaving the hubs attached: after lots of swearing, snagging and unplugging the last few connections of the back of the engine: here's the empty, messy bay. if i wa
  23. the corolla G6 gearbox. it was a limited run for the fog-eye corolla 1.3's over here. more pics to follow.
  24. you CAD i did wonder about that as he was telling me the most expnsive part of getting mani's made was the flanges. i've got an old t3 turbo mani i thought i'd cut the flange of that. And as for the inlet, he reckons best to bastardise the original alloy inlet mani and actually weld the throttle bodies to the mani and smooth them through.
