Mart Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Right little update:Picked up my rear axle the other day which was sweet, good nick, just going to change pads + upgrade the discs and on she goes.Picked up a handy Supra fuel pump to cope for my K1 and ordered a new fuel regulator the other day. Got some nice bigger injectors so once its all fitted, Up the boost and get her rolling roaded...Ordered a new screen for my Apexi AVCR so hopefully that should be sorted in the next few weeks...Got my hands on a sweet upgraded front disc and caliper conversion but not going to tell yee yet untill its on. Right some of yee might kill me... But remember the Sweet JL Audio Custom Install I had in the rear. I spent the day last Sat ripping it all out. YES its gone. All thats left now is the 2 channel amp, distrubution block and power cap powering the front JL door pods.I miss the bass but definately a worthy sacrafice as it was adding about 30 kilos in the rear. Response is now much quicker and accelleration faster... One or two more Sleeper pics before some more mods are on: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mart Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Ok Sorry I didn't have an update for awhile. I was collecting parts the last few months so there all being fitted to the sleeper as we speak.Just to give a few clues of whats being fitted here's a little list of the extra bits I got for her: Uprated pads and discs, with stronger 2 pot calipers.Rear axle for rear brake disc conversionBraided brake lines.Uprated fuel lines. Supra fuel pump. Nippodenso injectors.Sard fuel pressure regulator. Greddy Oil Cooler and Oil Filter relocation kit.Spare Greddy BOVWhtieline front anti-roll barWhiteline panhard rodAnti-lift kitAll new uprated bushings and linksCusco rear strut braceGreddy turbo Timer + HarnessTrd Short Shifter KitOil catch canOil pressure guageNew relocated Air Filterand still waiting to hear back about the screen for the apexi boost controller hopefully they can do something for me and we can wire that in aswell.Intercooler is being re-adjusted to make way for the oil cooler. Boost will be raised as fueling mods are now sufficient so hopefully the Blitz K1 will be spooling well proper .I think I forgot a few bits so I'll add them in when I think of em.Pictures to come when I get her back hopefully after the weekend.Mart...

SiCaln Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 wow man some nice parts there, love that TRD shifter changes th ecar completely esp if u have TRD mounts and torque damper Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mart Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 One or two suspension goodies.To match the color in the front, I got a Cusco Rear Strut.New Panhard Rod to keep the alignment good in the rear.Front Anti-Roll Bar with new bushings + links.Front anti-lift plates and anti-roll bar in next. Ok Im waiting on caliper brackets to arrive in for the front brake upgrade, once there here in the next few days, On goes the rear axle and new front brake upgrade. Then I can throw on the Panhard Rod on the new axle and bolt on the Rear Strut. Having one or two small issues with oil at the moment. We experimented by putting racing oil into the Starbo when the new cooler was patched in. Only prob is the racing oil (which the buddie throws into all his drifting cars) is like water and is so pure It had a slight negative effective on the starbo and starting burning it. Had to call down and drain some of it out and replace it with the original slightly thicker oil we were using all along. We rockon the lighter oil was seeping past the pistons and starting causing slight blue smoke from the rear. Hopefully things will be ok now with the oil change but I don't thing its anything major as everything was perfect before I dropped it down.I'll keep yee posted... ;) Mart...
