Sparky Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Nice choice of intercoolers mate Im not sure on choice of inlets I have seen a corolla inlet ONCE on a GT but not sure if that gave any performance difference.Theres also the ACIS manifold off the the 5efhe (very rare) but again not sure of the difference.Or go all out and buy a RaceTech one if you got £600 doing nothing :harhar: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shorty Phil Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 Well its one of them things mate where as it could be the last thing i get on my list of things :harhar:But i spent 14k on my old starlet with it having 4 re build and all being forged lol this time i think sump baffel and being nice on the bends is the way forward lol I want a car that looks nice goes well and handles mint...

Shorty Phil Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Drop it off one day and ill do it..

Shorty Phil Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 Cheers mate ill be painting my oil cap aswell to match the stripe of the rising sun so depending what colour the stripe of it is then ill be doing that the same I did some of the other side last night but that side needs a lot more hand sanding due to not being able to get the orbital to reach or fit in certain places Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 you could get it powdercoated but makes the rising sun thing a bit more difficult lol ya can get vht paint in red and white off ebay. the stuff i got was kinda matt finish tho so got some vht laquer aswell sorted it out.

Dean @RW-Developments Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 nice build mate lovely to see a smashed glanza get re built, ive also got the red and white rising sun on my rocker cover and tbh use vht white primer then you can use ordinary paints but make sure you have your fist coat done in vht or it might peal, its in my build thread dude needs re doing due to some paint reaction, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
