so the tidy up begins

i gotsome gunk engine degreaser today and cleaned up the engine bay, looks pretty good but still not happy with it

also got a second rocker cover im going to spray, not sure on colour but was thinking a nice metallic gunmetal grey and do my intercooler pipes grey aswell, what do people think to that?

also gave the car a full exterior polish then hoses it all of and cleaned it but it started raining so didnt get a chance to put any wax on ;)

i also have a new leather gear gaiter to go fit tomorrow as mine is pretty tired and has a small hole in it

and have also got a new parcel shelf on the way with OEM toyots speakers and an air purifier so 2more optional extras to add :D

and still trying to find a good company to re-trim the recaros, once they are done and i have some recaro door cards, the interior is complete :(

will add some pictures tomorrow of everything going on

i have moved one of the eather off the rocker cover now tho

engine bay is a bit messy and really want a proper wire tuck, so will get that sorted sometime aswell

Posted

and also, when im gently pulling away the car sounds like a tractor at low revs, is this it blowing or the screamer pipe?

heard some people say the sound abit dodgy on low revs

Posted

may i be cheeky and have ya old gear gaitor , i aint got one and im not sure if it will even fit :) haha

if u do get a wiretuck leme know i quite fancy one :)

Posted

yeah mate, send me your address and i will post it out on saturday for you

i really wanty a wire tuck, glanza engine bays have wires everywhere and its so messy!

Posted

haha where do wire tucks though, id want my bay cleaned up aswell though

and the only thing im dubious about is if something goes wrong it makes a 10 min job take an hour lol

Posted

lol yeah i no what you mean

i have had an offer from someone to build be a forged 5e pretty cheap so may have that done, and paint all the engine bay then wire tuck :)

Screamer mate, at idle and low RPM it will sound like the exhaust is blowing

shouldnt do as its an external gate setup, and will be fully sealed till you hit your designated boost...ct9 screamers are the ones that sound like that..as there not sealed..

Posted

havnt braced the wastegate yet, going to do it next weekend as it was a total bitch and didnt line up, then i thought i was going to have to take it all off again lol

Posted

maybe end of project! :D

car is stinking of oil, really hesitant under boost and have oil coming out of the 4th sprak plug

going to get a compression test but seems something internal is fucked now!
