  1. Stick the shock back in the car semi tighten the strut nuts in the bay, place bottom of strut into the hub ( stops it spinning ) and then undo the large strut nut in the center so the spring will drop out onto brakes below :)



    Above is abit pikey but to do it correctly spring compressor the springs first and then follow above :)

  2. Cheap and easy brake upgrade is to swap the NA caliper carriers for Glanza ones, this allows you to run the larger Glanza discs. Put some decent pads on and that's all you need for an NA. Braided lines are good too.

    Better upgrade again .... celica st202 set up ;) loads of info on this in brakes section!

  3. I have just gone to update my build thread and all my pictures have gone and i have a message from photobucket about sharing with a 3rd party and i have to pay 399.00! if i was my images to be shown?

    Seen this on lits of threads ive looked at! But £399 jesus christ they will lose a large amount of clients doing that shit!

  4. Another idea... But it will be difficult to implement...

    When creating a new thread, scan for buzzwords in the title/body which throw up a series of links to similar topics. Potentially ranking them in terms of popularity/page views.

    Thats a great idea! And saying that maybe a "like button" or something similar as i liked the above comment but didnt really need to comment, but had to show i liked the idea :)

  5. yeah mate he only live a few miles away from me the parts he has is unreal could literally build 5 monster spec ep,s the guys a hoarder

    I'll pm you it now mate

  6. Dont get me wrong buying any second part is risk no matter the cost of item, some just come with larger risks!

    The bonus with a second engine is that you can just drop in and play minimizing down time being off the road.

    Not all second hand engines will go bang 5 miles after being droped in .....

    Nicks white V has a second hand engine from old memeber lews GT.

    Socks has a donor corolla engine with a massive turbo bolted on and still going strong

    Thats just two off the top of my head :) do lots of homework before splashing out on either option.

  7. Running in on a p&p should be fine my brother-in-law did his on oem and then installed emanage and mapped after:)

  8. Have you thought about purchasing an already run in engine and just drop it in and go?



    Running in can be done yourself but from what i understand its very boring not being able to boost hard or have any fun ... basically drive like a granny and have regular oil changes, there is a guide somewhere on here!



    P&P are great but to ensure your engine is safe as possible emanage or standalone ( apexi, wolf or Motorsport electronic ecu ) would be best as the mapper will ensure everything is running good!



    As with picking your engine builder, research is needed for the mapper as all have good and bad feedback but you need to make your own mind up on that :)



    Just my thoughts
