Glanza_cl Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Or like i said originally put a stock engine in there (out of a car you no ran perfect fine in the first place)This car is a rolling piece of art work for your company. how you going to advertise your work if you brake it?... you wont.Your getting really court up in the engine side of things, which has nothing to do with your body kits and what you produce. you'v sorted the paint, have sexy body work but keep trying to hard with the engine.If you brake this you will be cutting off your nose to spite your face.... e.i. silly Quote

yaristurbo Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I hope you don't break it iddy such a unique car, but then again mate it's what's best for you.When I broke the yaris I felt I needed to, but when I look back now I made such a massive cok up doing it! Quote
MARK@CMBAUTOS Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Factory settings wont cut it due to the material used in manufacturing the head bolts are diffirent!! Mine are done per ARP and i never had any issues torquing them down.sorry but i think thats utter shit factory settings work fine and still are in loads of engine's inc mine @ 1.8 bar ! thay are exactly like a std bold hardend ! Quote
rorenapier Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 The yeild of the material used is diffirent, hence the diffirent torque required. If yours is holding up then thats cool, ill stick with whats recomended from ARP. Quote
MARK@CMBAUTOS Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 The yeild of the material used is diffirent,hardend bolt keeping boyndie a secret ?? take it your cars going ok now ! Quote
Idrees Posted July 21, 2011 Author Posted July 21, 2011 Shame to read this. Was a lovely looking car. If the starlet market is dead, does it mean the end of id-workz starlet kits? Will there be a 'closing down sale' on them?Fortunately not, ID-Workz is running well and may be expending in the coming months.

The bodykit and FMIC will be staying along with a few more bits.I started removing parts today and it I never expected it to be such a hard task.. I'm still seriously gutted about this but at the same time I refuse to spend another penny on it. Quote
rorenapier Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Cant just harden a bolt to make it tougher, it would just snap if it was just hardened. Forgot to say to be honest! Its running 0.7 / 0.8 on STD ecu just now. No time to get back down to see Russ. Quote

Idrees Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 On a slightly more positive note, it will look something like this with the spoiler.. Quote
Idrees Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 Tell me about it.. I felt ever more gutted when I saw how good the spoiler looks fitted. Quote
daz gt turbz Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Tell me about it.. I felt ever more gutted when I saw how good the spoiler looks fitted.well stop being a tool then and just put a normal engine in it for abit! Quote
Idrees Posted July 22, 2011 Author Posted July 22, 2011 That's the plan, but it won't be the same with standard brakes/suspension/interior/engine. Ah well! Quote
redz11 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 wow the livesports looks mint! shame to see you breaking, a standard engine should be alright to have in for abit, after all, im sure its been said before, the car is really meant to be show casing your body styling kits get that duck spoiler on too! Quote
Idrees Posted July 23, 2011 Author Posted July 23, 2011 Well I haven't sold much so might just be forced to put it back together, but I really don't want to. Quote
Idrees Posted July 25, 2011 Author Posted July 25, 2011 Get ready to laugh...The project continues! Seriously struggling to sell any of the bigger parts such as the turbo kit/seats/coilovers/brakes so I've decided to start putting it back together. Seeing as though I had the suspension components off, it's an opportunity to give them all a clean! Dirty coiloversAfter a quick washArches were not so dirty as the 2K lacquer I used has a smooth surface so dirt doesn't stick like it does on the rough surface that comes from factory.Cleaned with coilovers refitted and with the stock panhard rod as I sold the Cusco today, will get another in due course.One wheel cleaned, polished and coated in Poorboy's wheel sealant. Just need to get the other 3 done now! Quote
Ryan5793 Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 yay but damn i wanted the anti roll bar friday lol Quote
