Thanks man!!

There was very little pressure in the pipes but now that I changed the cap they are alot more firm,not rock solid but pressurized!

I know ya!! Timing belt and water pump being changed soon and 265 cams going in,then mapping session soon

Well lads and lassies,as the title suggests I'm having some electrical issues. Since parking my car up 2/3 months ago(been driven every week or so),I've noticed that when I start my car,the clocks on the dash don't light up.The whole dash lights up bar the instrument dial(speedo,etc.) As well as that the rear lights don't work either! I do find that once driving for a bit they will come back on and work fine..This is leading me to believe that there's moisture after building up in the fuse box or something along those lines and after a good spin dries it out. What are peoples opinions on this? Want to get the car back on the road asap but want everything working fine before I bring it out! Any help would be appreciated.

Found and fitted a 1.1bar rad cap to my GT tonight and shes perfect now

She was fine with a 90mm throttle body all along!

So even though the compression test came back fine ye wreckon headgasket?

I might try bleed the system tomorrow evening or something and when I'm off next get my hands on a few rad cap and thermostat and see if it sorts it

Well, One of my friends is after rebuilding his 5e with monster cams and other bits and pieces but the engine is making no vacuum or something along those lines and he wreckons that the throttle body might be goosed. Could anybody point me in the right direction for a 90mm throttle body? He has a custom inlet manifold(unsure of the brand)if that makes any difference? Any help would be appreciated

Well lads and lassies. A few weeks back while dropping my GT to my unit she started blowing steam from the rad and expansion bottle even though the gauge was reading around the normal level. I assumed the worst and thought the headgasket was gone so left it alone for a week or 2 and decided to do a compression test 2 nights ago which came back as follows, 172 172 169 173 That seems to be fine(fair enough theres a slight drop in psi but its nothing to worry about i've been told) After fiddling with the rad cap I let the car run again and it was fine,no steam or bubbling or a bit. Did the same tonight but after taking it for a spin and pulling up in the unit,there was no steam or a bit but after the car had turned off you could hear the expansion tank bubbling and it let out some water but once again,gauge was reading as normal. I'm going to change the rad cap and thermostat asap,also noticed there is very little pressure in the top rad pipe. Any ideas on whats causing this?

How much for these delivered to the south of Ireland?

Thanks man! Cage arrived yesterday so must bring it up to the unit and fit it soon

Savage work gone into it! and thanks to me,you have your fiberglass gi bonnet.I had the original one that Idrees made the moulds off!haha..

I've made my list and the price is sickening :/ Be worth it in the end though! As soon as it gets here its being fitted anyway!

Thanks man,hopefully it'll only get better from here! Also getting my hands on a set of billet 265 cams so should go nicely with the head set up i'm going for! Once funds allow,bigger turbo kit and a standalone ECU will be sourced and hopefully hit mid 300's. Been talking to Zisco and Wepr about what specs I should go for so have a list ready of what to get,just need to start ticking it off!

Well lads,been a while since I made any sort of update here. Been a good and bad start to the year so far. Good points: -Shes now running an external wastegate td04 set up -Fitted a walbro 255 fuel pump -Acquired a lovely Zisco strut brace too but have yet to fit it. -got a full set of CJ Performance pipes for the engine bay -Full Cusco 7 point chrome cage on route tomorrow compliments of Jake Nest off of here -Fitted a set of QSP Raceware seats -Will be getting an intake manifold similar to the race-tech street entry model with a 70mm throttle body for handy money too so will buy it anyway! Bad point: first one in a long time and possibly the worst so far...headgasket is going/gone in the car. Not too surprised about that though,its had the same engine in it for the past 23 years and has covered just over 277k km's in its lifetime,40k of which was done by me since I bought it in April 2010 So on that note,let the forged build begin!Not going to bother fixing the engine in it(but I will keep it)as I have been planning on forging a 5efhe engine I have laying around for a long time now so I have an excuse to do it now!Wasn't planning on doing it just yet but my car decided for me. As soon as I can scrape the money together I'll be getting the build done so watch this space

god damn my stupid bank...was gonna send payment for it today...

whats the best price on the ep82 cage delivered to Manchester?

Working fulltime in McDonalds and dabbling in valeting!

Thanks! Planning on going for Compomotive MO5's in 17x8 in gunmetal grey

Well lads. Sold the Glanza and decided to buy this because it was at the right price and i wanted one since I was a child! shes hd a fortune spent on her over the years with receipts to prove! some nice optional extras too. First thing to be changed is the wheels anyway,found the set i want,now its just a case of saving up for them!

fitted 98 spec rear lights today

Heres some pictures of how she stands at the mo after a serious clean. decided to take some pics of some cool things i noticed today. the OEM 3 point strut brace was there since i got it had a look at my jack which i found out has never been used as well as the tools to go with it and the spare wheel it still has the flare too but forgot to get a pic of that

whats the best cash price on these??

Thanks lads. Collected the dumpvalve a while ago whilst at the annual Toyota Owners Club big meet!
