Ryan.Truesdale Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 upgraded the brakes with a set of glanza carriers and mtec discs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Did this but they didn't last too long. I wanted to keep the interior, but front seats have to slide and fold forward if you have back seats and these where fixed so I sold them. Kept the harnesses though. I had the seat sitting perfect too, my shoulder was lever with the top of the door and My line of sight was straight over the top of the steering wheel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clinternational Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Car looks mint. pretty enoying those engine failures. But you fixed it! Love the exhaust so neat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted April 20, 2018 Author Share Posted April 20, 2018 Picked these up very cheap about a month or two later. They are brand new too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan.Truesdale Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Since then I've fitted a set of d2 coilovers and put the car pretty much as low as it can go. It's a wee bit silly but looks cool as so it's staying. Ive also changed the tyres as the proxies tried to kill me on a few occasions. They where good in the dry though.

Ryan.Truesdale Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Engine failures..... they haunt me. Knocking sound came into the engine over the weekend. Ive finally given up on the na engines time to take it out and build a reliable turbo lump. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 Sold my seats and rails today! im now on the hunt for a set of bride zeta seats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted May 12, 2018 Author Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) So this was one of the bearings. Weird how it wore mostly on one side. Edited May 14, 2018 by Ryan.Truesdale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 (edited) Fitted my glanza boot and live sports spoiler. I love it adds to the aggressiveness of the front bumper. I have removed the number plate surround as there is a pinhole of rust behind it. Edited September 27, 2018 by Ryan.Truesdale Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Boy is it fun getting the number plate surround off! I wouldn't recommend doing this but since I'm stripping out the car anyway it didn't bother me. The surround is held on with x2 10mm nuts and 5 pop in plastic attachment yolke thingys. (They're hateful) I found them nearly impossible to get to and I didn't want to break them so I lifted the grinder and made them a bit more accessible. LoL Bit of weight reduction too I guess. I also removed all the wiring for the rear wiper and tidied it up a bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 I'm going to fit glanza wings this time round as I'm looking to get them vented. I'm also going to trim the inside lip as with the height and stance of my car it can catch and rip the tyre sidewall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan.Truesdale Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 Got all the na engine wiring out. The bay looks rather naked now. It could do with a bit of a tidy up to be honest I wouldn't recommend spray paint it's just not as durable. Also got a chance to look over the wiring I took out of a rotten glanza shell I had. It had been broken but there was still a few bits left. Full interior wiring loom but no engine wiring also discovered a kinked fuel line yet another job to add to the long list developing.

Ryan.Truesdale Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Not much progress on the car lately don't a few bits here and there. Took the full interior out and donated it to a friend. Took the back bumper off for the first time and found a decent sized rust hole in the drivers side. Should be easy fixed so not to bothered. Currently trying to organise getting a full msa roll cage welded in! Big plans for this wee car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Purchased a bride zeta 1 for the starlet. It apparently came out of Diago Saitos jzx he brought over to Ireland for a round of the IDC. Dean Kearney then bought the car off him and sold the seat to his friend who I have purchased it off. All true or not I don't know but it's pretty cool nonetheless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted July 1, 2018 Author Share Posted July 1, 2018 4efe rocker cover modified to allow an8 fitting. Just need to get it tig welded. Have saved the program so if anyone's looking one done the same I can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SKINY Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just catching up on this now buddy, all Toyota fuel filters are a cunt as standard. Mine was twisted to fuck too but fixed now, had to get fitting for bottom of filter then some 8mm fuel hose to connect to the feed line :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan.Truesdale Posted July 5, 2018 Author Share Posted July 5, 2018 Completely stripped the interior, dash wiring baisically everything, have also taken out the sound deadening (hateful job that takes way too long) roll cage? Maybe Also went through the turbo engine wiring loom. Loads of silly connectors cut. Why are people so lazy the just cut them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
