Hey dude, running parada spec 2's, found them to be decent for a low cost tyre. Around castle coombe last year I destroyed a set of rears as they had got that hot (tight track, lift off over steer) the rubber started to come off in long strings lol. I'd recommend them, but ill be going semi slicks soon

Why hasn't this gone yet? Cheap!

one of mine round silverstone, first lap is a sighting lap -
Emissions is easy, say it has an early replacemt 4efte fitted, pre cat. That's how mine is done

Go to your local Toyota, only pence. Just bought some

Not good, not good at all, Problem seriously needs to be addressdd before you fix it though. I'd get the injectors out and remeber which came from where and get them flow/spray tested. Then as others have said, check over the belt for signs of damage/where it has slipped.

Check my build (not updated in ages),. but I've wrapped mine in heat wrap, not only does it keep heat in exhausts, but also stops heat transfering from the bay into the pipe Works both ways, not just to keep heat in, but keeps it out too!

Ill buy it, pleaseee please pleasee lol! The only thing I use the car for is track, and I completly forgot to book this one up!

Looking fresh dude!

Awesome car! Just don't hit the wall ;)

Check the lower cover isn't rubbing against the crank pully, had this happen to me over the weekend

Also, you just have the discs machined to fit your hubs (Evo 8 ) you wouldnt use standard discs as they're as thick as some a4 paper lol

This is true, how ever it wasn't the stopping power that I found real poor on the Glanza's, its there ability to disperse heat. Its the reliability you get with bigger brakes, knowing they wont fade coming into a corner at 100+. I could lock the wheels up with standard brakes (ABS fuse romoved, as starlets abs is too sensitive), but that doesnt mean the brakes are good enough. Will they still do that after a 15/20min session? The Kpsorts I can lock the front wheels up at 130mph quite easily, but when do you ever use 100% of the braking force? All about control and getting used to them. I

Couldn't agree more to be honest, drivability doesn't bother me too much as its not a daily and used for track. However, I seriously don't find the torque bad on my 4e, 344n/m If I remember right, and will pull from real low down without thrashing it. td04 makes them so much better to drive than a ct9 too, always in and out of boost on ct9.

Leave it all under the same hat if you ask me!

Last year I managed 1 session out of 3 at coombe due to my Racetech manifold breaking and my ext. W/G hanging off, suprising how much coombe takes it out on the car, i shredded a set of REAR tyres there the year before in 2 sessions! Very tight track, works the car hard, should be fine though. Just didnt expect the manifold to die on me so easily!

You'd prob find it would be excellent setup, just a lot of people think, yeahhh big turbo cuz it's a 1.5, yet they don't rev to the top like a 4e. (Due to it gaining the extra 200cc from being stroked, not a bigger bore size), which means it will pull great figures, but won't be in the power for as many revs

Power/torque figures are just pub talk, found this from experience. An engine can produce 400bhp, but if its only making decent power in one place it's no good. Take whitegv's 335bhp 5e, couldn't touch a 270bhp 4e. He had a bigger turbo, spooled slightly later than a td04 on a 4e, ad didn't want to rev to the limiter like a 4e would, in return a short band where there's power to use. Also, more oil pressure issues with a 5e, don't get me wrong, if I'd have built a 5e I'd prob say different, can only go from what I've seen. Take a look at zisco's new GT he's building, going for record with that

People buy enough fake steering wheels (infact, a trader on here sells them), no difference really to having a fake seat.
