Here I have a video from last year of the car at blyton on a track day, this track day was too see if all my current modifications at the time to do with the front steering and drivetrain would work all together and take some turbo abuse. Please ignore the fact the car was running like shit as the car was not mapped so I made it over fuel but what I later found out 2 weeks later was that the fuel pressure regulator diaphragm was intact torn at his point so it was over fuelling more than I intended and it actually tore completely which then lead to the motor hydro locking... motor says knock knock.. bad times But as you can see on the video that the car does handle very well and it does take the power so I achieved exactly what I wanted from the car on the day and I'm happy to carry on with the build to make more reliable, controllable power. I did have a moment near the end of video which was caused by my coolant return pipe from the turbo to the radiator coming off completely so my coolant caused my back end to step out, that's why I took it steady as it did start to overheat, so I took it back to the pits. More updates to come, Rob. GOPR0382_1_1.mp4 -

Cheers guys, not much happening with the build at the minute, keep having issues with the offside cv joint, it's having its 4th joint put on in the week when I get chance as I smashed yet another cv joint so something needs to change just not sure what route I'm going to take but hopefully it will be at fast show at santa pod this up and coming weekend :-) Rob. -

So the boot was finished and I headed to Mimms Honda day Christmas special as I was invited for the show and shine Indoors at Stoneleigh Park, Coventry. Here are a few pictures of the car and it's boot complete Love the more professional pictures :-) Orange countersunk washers on the number plate will be replaced with black screws and black washer for a more subtle look Rob. -

Few bits of progress Tial 50mm bov arrived thanks to Mike at td and now fitted :-) Ordered an Id workz fibreglass boot, carbon fibre number plate surround and I've bought some cv joints :-) Also polished and waxed the car with a 12 month coat, partly because of the weather changing but also because I've been offered a spot for show and shine in a show called Mimms Honda day, rather happy and honoured so want to do us Toyota lads proud :-) Rob. -
