scutch0 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 finally cleaned the car the other day...it was a bit dirty!been ill with this bug the last few days (this is the second time ive caught it!) and i'd been a bit bored so i started doing a design i was gonna do a stencil, and i ended up spraying it onto a spare fuel cap cover i had lying around. i think it turned out quite well, i actually had no intention of puttin it on the V but im not sure now! what do we think?

scutch0 Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 just thought i'd follow the trend and do a spec list for the motor and comment on my main focus for the V.SPECbody1998 (s reg) glanza vblack scoopuprated bulbsfactory toyota numberplate surroundsrewired rear fog light (21w filament of the bottom sidelights)chassistanbe sustec shocks and springs (not very low but great for handling and reasonable ride comfort)lightweight black racing 14" alloy wheels, red center polished lip (for summer)enkei 14" white alloy wheels (for winter) <------------------- any one know exactly what style they are?rays lightweight wheel nutsstandard front disc's and pads (for now) with standard rear disc's and padsinteriormitsubishi fto front seatsfactory arm restpioneer deh 7700 r head unitalpine front speakers with tweetersalpine 16.5cm speakers in custom door podsalpine rear 'pod' speakersalpine swd1600 6"subwooferlamco 43mm boost guageengine standard intake with cut away under bonnet weather strip for extra cooling to airbox (k&n panel filter waiting to be fitted)apexi backbox fitted to custom stainless steel straight through 2 1/4" exhaust systemstainless steel separated decatngk plugsngk blue leadsroad runner mild steel manifold (waiting to be fitted)manual boost controller running .75-.8 barde-restricted boost modification type rs (greddy copy) bovnew standard spec clutchnew dizzy capnew rotor armnew alternator beltmy main focus for the V is to have a quick road car that you can live with as a daily driver. no stripped out interiors, no stupidly hard suspension. just a well handling quick fun road car.i havent decided on the final power outcome as i'd rather have good torque all through the rev range, plus im undecided on exactly what i want from the engine. ie, less lag? better bottom end torque? better top end power?my main focus is i want it to be reliable, so i dont really want to be pushing the limits of the standard engine too far.after looking at it i havent actually done that much! anyone who has any recommendations for parts to improve my spec feel free to let me know. ;)Rich.

scutch0 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 road runner manifold updateme and fishy drove down to braintree yesterday to get my road runner manifold fitted by dave burwash's guys, and they did a great job. really pleased with it. the manifold just smooths power delivery out instead of being all lumpy, improves top end a bit too.the only thing ive found now is the boost dropped off from .8 bar to .6-.65, ive tried adjusting it with my boost controller but it doesnt seem to be doing alot... anyone experienced this?fishy's gt is still way quicker tho! lolpics:Rich.
