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.

Well done on sourcing that I bet it was an absolute nightmare

It took a while to find one, tbh there's a fair few Toyota's that use very similar units that would almost certainly fit with modifications, failing that I had been in talks with a custom propshaft maker and a specialist in Land rover freelander viscous couplers that could tailor one to suit the starlet on a custom prop. 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.

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.

Saw this at Shaun’s on Saturday looks pukka 🙌

Cheers mate, dyno results are in.

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.

That’s pukka mate I did keep seeing the videos come up on TikTok! Have you got any future plans for it now? 

Just to enjoy it for now mate, it's already making more power than I was targeting so I'm happy. Will be taking it down to jdm all being well.

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.
