Taggy

there mainly used on track cars and stuff rather than road, which mine is anyway. Just pissed off im having problems with the td04 manifold now not fitting tightly, i hope its not warped!

fuck i bought it on the 16th feb!!

Well its bought through ebay with paypal so its insured i think if the sale goes tits up and he wont give me a refund. I think its within 2 months too

lol Bilabong from Thailand ha ha

I didnt have a choice with mine when the bonnet flew open it damaged all the front of the car which the catch holds onto and snapped the bar which sits in the middle. So the reason i got around to doing it was because i had to lol, i wasnt looking forward to do it, but had a few beers a BBQ and got my mate around to help so made a day of it, plus it was glorious sun all day too

I havent seen a starlet with them on so thought i would post up some pics of mine, i always had problems with the bonnet catch on mine and after the bonnet flew open last summer when driving i was like f**kin hell better sort that out. Finally got around to doing it anyway, were £45 off the net and blend in well with the bonnet. the catches it pays to take your time and mark out the pins properly which sit underneath, i wasnt going to risk cocking this up. oh shit here we go, jigsaw time lol use the template the finished product, 4 hours later, a fiddly time consuming

Yeah its a pain, i have spent the money on it from new so the bugger can replace it if its fooked, you can easily tell i havent driven it as its not turned blue or anything yet. Cheap china crap probably

Yeah a right bitch, luckily i got it right more less first time but it took ages to get the pin underneath bang on so when you drop the bonnet the catches all sit in the right place. Must have taken about 2 hours per catch to fit, had to measure it properly, mask it, cut it, fit it, remeasure, then align it all and tighten. Took so long as you had to get it right first time or it would look shit. Worth the effort though, another thing done on the list!

This is just what they sent me i didnt really specify, i didnt know they did mild steel, mild steel looks crap after a while anyway

Yeah thats what im worried about, it was a bit of a dodgy fit going on and i damaged a stud putting it on because it was so tight and had to replace it. I think im gonna take it off, put a flat edge on it and then go from there, fuckin pain the god dam ass is what it is! I didnt think to check it before i fitted. If its warped im sending the bloody thing back as i also noticed the Decat pipe was also machined wrong and i can only get two of the 3 bolts in at the moment so im gonna have to redrill it to make up for the tolerance inaccuracy. Ok so i want a toyota gasket for the head to the ma

Took my car for a spin today to test out the TD04 and i noticed im getting hardly any boost, turbo wasnt even beginning to spool up until nearly 4500rpm and even then it was nearly nothing. Looked in the engine bay and can hear that the toyosports manifold i bought is blowing quite badly past the gasket, seems to be coming from number 4 and you can feel it when you rev it blowing. Now when i fitted it i notice that the manifold didnt just slide straight onto the studs, it must have been machined slightly wrong as i had to use a hammer to tap it onto the studs to sit flush. I also noticed ga

Got the turbo pipework all hooked up now and I have also fitted some cool aero catches to my bonnet, its taken me pritty much all day today to fit with about 3 BBQ sessions in between but they look the business and are cool to open. Car is ready to be MOT'd now apart from needing some new battery terminal connectors, the bloody jap ones are a pain in the ass to get connections for as the pins on the battery are so small. My gasket is blowing on my manifold too which is causing me to get hardly any boost, so gotta figure out why its doing that which is a bitch. I think these cheap toyosports

im glad its going well, i was expecting the worst when i read that ha ha!!

I have got the correct battery, the one with the small pins, problem is i chopped off my connectors a while back in the car to fit a small battery, now i have put my other battery back on I cant get the jap style connectors any where, the euro ones for UK cars are to big for my battery! anyone got any links for the web

does anyone know where i can buy the battery terminals to fit a jap car, i cant find them anywhere, the UK ones are to big!

Now that my TD04 is on im assuming that the fueling i had rolling roaded for my CT9 at 1 bar is now way out on my RRFPR, does anyone know roughly what psi it should be set to?

www.camskill.com http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m19b0s1298p0 or these http://www.lkperformance.co.uk/Brake_Discs...69?carId=129956 just get ones for an ep82 and they will fit stock calipers

Im off now for 11 days, yeehaa!!

Had my first BBQ of the year last night, loved it! Anyone out for a beer tonight seeing as its the start of the bank holiday and its cooking outside

Jesus i bet he had to dig that one out of the VOSA database!!

lol that made me laugh then, failed for a magic tree ha ha, i wonder if that went down on your MOT failure sheet

Yeah thats what i thought, i have been looking everywhere and i cant bloody find it, its probably looking me right in the face!!

Some how i have been left with a sensor plug missing, which sensor is this and where should it be coing from? There are 3 next to each other here, i think one is the temp sender in the dash, the green one is water temp sender, whats this one im missing??

do it once it warmed up, you will the correct readings

Was reading through an old build thread on my car http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....\" used to be Monkfish, nice to see there people still here 4 years on! I didnt realise it was a 1996 GT i hadnt looked in the log book!
