Wardyep95 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Overnight parts from Japan 🇯🇵 Took a while to find one as these are now discontinued by Toyota. But unlike my one which had gone solid this is working as it should. Can't wait to get my 4wd back as I had to drop the prop out to protect the diff and transfer box from damage.

This would have been considerably more expensive but would definitely work as its what the yanks are using now for their 4wd civic builds. At the end of the day though this is the result I really wanted. A lot cheaper than custom. I can't tell you how relieved I was when I received it and tested that it was in good working order.

Wardyep95 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 I know I've been quiet recently, and progress has been slow. Tbh it's hard to find the time with a family and unpredictable work schedule so I have entrusted the car to Shaun Corr @ ss autos to fit a replacement cylinder head due to a crack on the 4th exhaust port, and to fit a few upgrades while it's there. More to follow soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I'm just having a catch up now. Some very nice parts I see. It's going to be very nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have to say I'm both surprised and impressed, Shaun clearly knows his stuff when it comes to tuning these cars. Can't wait to pick it up and feel the difference for myself.

Wardyep95 Posted July 2, 2022 Author Share Posted July 2, 2022 Only a small addition, but in my opinion an important one. Having seen the damage done when a friend sucked a rag into his turbo, it always makes me uncomfortable having no filter. Few quid on ebay and about 5 minutes to trim and fit, I'm feeling much more comfortable for the drive to jdm combe next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
