  1. UPDATE!

    Hey guys. Didn't realize it had been so long since i last updated...

    20/05/2012 - I recently purchased a Toyosports Front Mount Intercooler. There was no chance i was using the standard pipe routing, so i ordered myself a RW Developments custom hot pipe, which arrived super quick! I got round to fitting this once all the parts had arrived.

    Whilst everything was off i made sure i sorted my bumper out at the same time. Luckily i work for a car bodyshop so this was easy and didn't cost a penny :D. I chopped the numberplate area, smoothed and painted the bumper.

    Here are some pictures.

  2. Just got myself a new Toyosports intercooler with Dean at RW's shortened pipe. To excited to wait till the weekend when i will fit it too put it together, so i want to put it together in my room to see how it all goes :p. Sad i know and very self explanatory with the car infront, but the weathers miserable etc...

    Has anyone got any diagrams of the kit so i can put it together in my room :p?

    Many thanks, Tobie

  4. Would anyone very kindly like to send my friend a bog standard Starlet. We've been playing the game for a while and kept an eye out for one but still haven't come across it. I'm more of a Forza fan so i don't know if you can do it and we can send credits or something?

    We want to have some fun and mod it tonight :D

  5. do you know if the polished rims have been lacquered? It could possibly be moisture getting under the lacquer and causing it to corrode. if soo , you'll have to take all the lacquer off, you could probs gets away with using some 400 grit. then work your way up though the grits, ( 800, 1200, 1500, 2000) then autosol them to get a mirror polished finish. you could then get them lacquered but the same thing will happen as soon as they get curbed... best of leaving them bare metal and using autosol every time you wash the car to keep them nice. but dont use anything like truckwash as it'll scar the metal. i work in a bodyshop and do alot of bare metal polishes.

  6. Hey mate. Looking at getting a toyosports intercooler kit from ebay, but looking to get your shortened pipe... From the pictures on ebay it looks like it does have the bov adaptor on one of the pipes, do you know whether its on the inlet side or on the pipe that i will be replacing with yours? Just need some confirmation before i order a pipe with/without the adaptor welded on. :) Help would be much appreciated.

  7. Hey guys, my car seems to be running really rich recently. Quite a strong smell of fuel coming out the exhaust on start-up, idle and general driving. It's running on the standard ecu and have only noticed it recently. It has been decatted for ages but only now seems to be quite strong, Im also using Sh*t loads of fuel :(

    Is there anything i can do myself to have a look and check for?

    Thanks alot. Tobie
