TBDevelopments Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 i plan to mate, i paid enough for it and waited over a year to find one i liked then another 3 months to get it from japan.once my mr2 is finished i'll use that for a few weeks and take this off the road and do the same treatment i did with the mr2, which is to replace every last bush and service item like bearings etc etc, powdercoat all the suspension members and completely underseal and stone chip protect the car top to bottom.TimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBDevelopments Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 when it stops raining i'll get some more piccys, i need to photo the bits from toyota like new grill and parcel shielf, the new blitz nurspec system and the blitz K1 turbo when it comes back from the builders :harhar:TimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBDevelopments Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 bit of an update,i've fitted the blitz nurspec system, really helped with the breathing at topend, it doesn't feel so strangled now near redline. really nice system ) i went for the full system back to the cat. Only downside is it really shows up where the previous owner had bodged the rear bumper to get the previous exhaust in, so now i'm on the look out for a new rear bumper, or the addition lip spoiler to match the front oneI also fitted my stereo from my old mr2 into the car, i was getting so bored just driving around with no music to listen to, this is just a temporary thing as i really want to sink it back into the dash a little more so the screen is flush with the panel, but that will come in timeI also fitted my Blitz DSBC, its just being used as a fancy boost gauge at the moment until i get the new turbo on there and then connect up the solenoid. One of my pet hates is that aftermarket stuff is just thrown on the dash where ever, i like to keep things factory looking so i got another centre panel and made this up. I think its come out really well and retains the factory look. and it lights up green as well so matches everything.TimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bildo Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Looks good mate you can get replica rear lips, I'd recommend one of them, it'd cover over the ugly hole too to save you buying a whole bumper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBDevelopments Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 i like to use genuine stuff where ever possible, surely there is some genuine rear lips about somewhere?TimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBDevelopments Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 thats mate for the kind comments and the business plug onyl got round to doing the panard rod today and the rear ARB, its definitly made a difference, back feels alot more planted but i'm not happy with the way its fitted (as it is an upgrade over a replacement) and the way its mounted is a bit getto for my liking, but this is understandable really as there was never a factory bar to upgrade. So i think i'm going to get hold of another rear axle and using the whiteline bar completely redesign the kit so there are proper mounting points on the axle over the hoop style additions. Also i don't like how it hangs underneith so i'll probably move it to the front of the axle and have the arms go towards the front of hte car instead of trailing back, with properly welded on bodymounts as i can see the orignal setup (holes drilled into the chassis leg) ovalling up over time and causing a knocking. But all in good time. this is a spare time kinda project and it runs just fine at the mo :-DTimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Nice mate. The dash is brilliant, how exactly did you do it?Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevy-glanza Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Howdy Tim,I've seen this car in person at the Japshow Finale, and it's mint. . . you're a good chap to talk to dude. All the guys and gals on the TB Developments stand were sound and welcoming too, that was a good day. I'm just glad it wasn't quite parked next to mine otherwise I would have been jealous :-)Kev Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBDevelopments Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 not at all mate, nice to see it getting some attension ;)The stand was for my business, alot of the cars on there i've had a hand in building, unfortunatly one of our drag cars blew an oilfilter relocation line half way down the track and caught fire probably saw us trying to burn the remaining oil out the engine bay before we could rerun after repairing it.Also the red one just to the right of the picture is another customers car, just developed 450bhp and 370ft/lbs at 1.2bar of boost on its initial mapping session, going back in a few weeks to be mapped to 1.8bar and have the 100shot of nitrous activated and this is an everyday road car TimTB Developments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
