  4. Hello everyone, Just got my 1993 GT Turbo, Not alot of progress so fare but figured i would post some pics up and keep adding allong the way. Heres how she looked the day i picked it up: No major updates straight away just abit more engine tidying, sprayed up the the standard Strut and got the rocker cover power coated. Also added TRD sweat bands over resovoirs. Engine still very much work in progress: Few more pics after i gave her a quick clean and polish Thinking of changing the wheels to Rota Grids or possibly spray the ones i have black as going for black and red
  5. thanks all anyway... got some nice parts on order so will be starting build thread tonight
  6. ha no didnt have inside shot blasted, yea he said they probs got blatsted off to, i followed guide exsact on removing cover didnt say anything about removing spark plug seal ah well wil have to await new ones to arrive. ive waited a month for insurance to start on car had this done whilst off the road. day finaly come and only drove for an hour ha
  7. thats what i thought, bit concerned now as im not driving the car until this mechanic (friend of family) is going to order me new gasket for the plugs, i kept saying im sure it doesnt have one but thought id check on here
  8. Hello all, Have just had my rocker cover power coated, Recieved it back and re-fitted to car with new Rocker Cover gasket, drove down the motorway and checked engine, noticed theres oil coming from the spark plug wholes. Is there supposed to be another gasket for the spark plug wholes? any info much appreciated cheers
  9. ah ok ill check when i get home, just thort the fitment type maybe model specific?
  10. Hello all, Some one on the forums is selling a Pin type HKS actuator. Just wondering if this will fit my 1993 Starlet GT, as not sure if its the PIN type fitment i need. Any info would be appreciated
  11. Feel for you man some one has just keyed my mums type r from one end to the other
  12. thort that might be the case, think ill just collect the rest of what i need till i see one
  13. na it was in poole, still waiting till insure it gotta wait till 22nd its drivin me mad
  14. ok not sure if im confused or enlightend ha To be honest 190-200 bhp is as far as i want to ever take this car i think. to be honest this should be ample power for what im looking for in a car at the moment. to be honest i dont want to go any higher then this or want to start rebuilding my engine with different enternals, so based on this and from what ive read from you guys sounds as if the plug and play systems are more sutied to me. Does sound like the stand alones are a better bit of kit if you want top take it to that next level though. Is there any where you can find these plug and play
  15. ah cool i might see you about ive seen one white glanza and a friend of mine has a black GT running TD04 turbo. will have to get to some meets n find some more localy.
  16. sweet, thanks all will keep ya all posted
  17. Nice one youve been realy helpful.. Just one last question i promise ha the parts ive mentioned are they all pretty much bolt on and go. you think ill need any fabrication for turbo to fit? Other then that think im good to go thanks for all your help
  18. Cheers cool ill add that to my list, might but few extra things aswell like uprated cam cover and over gaskets. Just wanted to make sure before i start buying things Dont spose you know how the starlet standard brakes will handle this sort of power and do you think running this sort of set up should be reliable ish day today. I know there capable of a lot more, from what ive been reading sounds quite reliable just wanting to make sure again cheers
  19. Hello all, Im still new to the starlet scene, and the turbo scene so youll have to excuse my lack of knowledge. Im wanting to get my starlet to around 190-200bhp. My starlet currently has a FMIC, HKS dumpvalve, boost gauge, Exhaust (Not De-cat but will be) and Air filter relocated to front of engine. Now my question is to get a CT9 hybrid turbo running on my car and to achieve this power what else would i need. From my understanding including the mods i have i would need the following. 1. Uprated Manifold 2. Some sort of after market actuator (HKS) (Assume this would need to be set to 1
  20. no pics of under bonnet at moment. will get some though, theres a few things i wanna do under there to tidy it up. Im from southampton
  21. im not 100% sure so your have to bare with me to good with makes of things yet. It has FMIC (HKS), Dump valve (HKS), KandN Air filter, Cat back exhaust 4" not sure on make. Lowered on Apexi Shocks. Will be able to be abit more specific after a read about when im a bit more clued up
