Johnny-C Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 Love this colour mate Great colour that 5 now i know of in this colour! Thanks gents. Well ill have some updates for this in about 5 weeks,ive been on a bit of a spending spree,and Im not finished it yet.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny-C Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 One of a few new upgrades,S90 70mm throttle body.Pic is with a 4efte one for size comparison. Some pics i took the when I was home in august for holidays, while doing a few bits,was hoping to get it on the road for a few days driving before i headed back to Perth,but I had a few problems to sort,some of which i was willing to put up with just to get it out,but it would be a pig to drive around in,plus the lack of tax and test would be an issue.anyway... Picked these up ,k20 coils and wiring loom. another piece of the puzzle thanks to sacha at WEPR. Next purchase will be 272 cams from Tighe Cams.Im still unsure what turbo to use on this yet.

Chris Green Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Tasty update! Hope you don't mind me asking, but what did they set you back? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny-C Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Tasty update! Hope you don't mind me asking, but what did they set you back? Thanks. They where $850 Aussie delivered to me in Perth from Brisbane. Not cheap,but ah camshaft choice and suppliers for starlets are limited. Ivan Tighe seem to be very well known over here though.

Forgot to mention,also picked up a TD uprated fuel rail,some buddyclub p1s for track/drag wheels,poly bush rear factory option mount,as trd never did the optional one,and a few other bits.i forgot how much i collected over the months,it was like xmas opening all the parcels! Also bought this in my time away,unsure what will happen with it though.... And heres a pic after a quick wash and polish before it was put away again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
