whitestar Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Thanks mate! Turbo seems to be working nice. Happy I got around installing it this weekend. Now I can put it in garage waiting for spring again. Propably going to get me a custom manifold. Now I have a JAM manifold I got from JayJ, but I'd like to have a better flowing one and my uncle who's been a professional welder for 30 years has promised to make me one as soon as I get him some flanges.

whitestar Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Ok I guess it's time to update something again. Pic heavy set coming up! The V was more or less in bits this winter and finally got something done, that wasn't the case last winter. With alot of help from friends we got the gearbox out. The hole it left The box was quite dirty inside, I doubt it hasn't seen oil change in a while.... After that we got the box open and in goes the mighty TRD LSD Cleaned the box a bit from inside and started to put it back together... There it is now! See thru view from drive shaft hole. Then I got some stuff from Idrees. Replaced the crankshaft seal while the flywheel was of. Then in goes the new Exedy clutch paired with machined OEM flywheel, Next was upgrading the rear gearbox mount to powerflex one. Also changed the gearbox oil plugs to toyota magnetic ones and put some Redline MT-90 in. MT-90 seems to be great oil with mechanical LSD, as it only crunches a bit when the oil is cold. After warming up you can barely feel the LSD is in, unless you give it some more gas ;D Awesome mod and makes the car feel so much faster and stable! Also changed the clutch line to HEL and put in solid bushes for gear link cables. Clutch is nice and light and bites well now! Gear shfter is relly solid too, happy with it! Next I cleaned up the front coilies, still in mint condition with no leaks. Desided not to lower it more as the coilie is almost touching cv boot.... Then started the thing up and checked the compression. The results were: 1: 10 bar2: 10 bar3: 10,5 bar4: 10,5 bar Seems all good to me! After that changed all the brake pads to EBC. Red stuff on front and Ultimax at back. Then time to take car out! Ordered a front lip as I've been wanting one for so long but wanted to do something different for a while after seeing all the laguna lips and the normal after market ones for glanza... Sat really well tbh, jsut had to shorten it a bit from the ends! Here it is as it stands now. Have to finish the lip at some point and paint it white. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Got my 14x6 wheels from powder coaters yesterday. These are for my NA winter car and they're powder coated gunmetal! Came out pretty well I think. Edited April 29, 2015 by whitestar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 (edited) Great updates!!! Edited April 29, 2015 by Rich-k Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks Rich! Can't wait to get my whiteline anti lift kit fitted. The LSD made the handling so much better already. It must be phenomenal ahter the alk ;D Rear anti roll bar would propably be the next upgrade to handling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 i have the same lsd as you, i also fitted an anti lift kit and fully polybushed it all at the same time and the handling was soo much better after all that, next thing is a rear anti roll bar for mine, and get my alignment done to get the best from the set up your cars looking good though love the splitter, different from what everyone else does, looks like an eg/ek civic one?

whitestar Posted April 29, 2015 Author Share Posted April 29, 2015 Ok good to hear it made a difference! We're moving to a better garage in june with my friends and we're gonna have a hoist there so going to install the alk then and check the alignment afterwards that so that I won't destroy my new front tires right away. I was thinking to have an rear anti roll bar and a panhard rod at the same time. I might be dropping the back a tiny bit more and I want to be sure it doesn't catch the arches as they're still perfect. How much camber you're planning to use? If I recall right I have 0,8 degrees at the moment and was thinking to add it probably to 1°. And yeah thanks, I love the splitter too and the fact that this is in fact something new in starlet scene. Yeah it's a EK civic one. It's not perfect yet as I was in a hurry when installing it. I have to make the ends sit better and plasti dip it white so it would stand up more than it does in black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 The place that is doing my alignment are using a tried and tested setup that's they've used on glanzas before so will let you know once it is done tomorrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait to see which wheels you go for mate. not too many of us rocking 16" here around anyway. ;) cheeers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted April 30, 2015 Author Share Posted April 30, 2015 Oh and one thing I havent updated here is my Cusco strut brace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan_s Posted April 30, 2015 Share Posted April 30, 2015 got my alignment done today, its set at -1degree camber and 0.05degree toe in, seems to handle alot better so far but not had a chance to push it and see how it performs Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Can't wait to see which wheels you go for mate. not too many of us rocking 16" here around anyway. ;) cheeersBe my next move after wheels I think makes the world of difference lsd, that minty colour goes well with the white nice and different! Got some genuine work wheels at the coaters as we speak 14's were too small for the JAM kit haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlegreenmonster Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 What splitter is that as it seem massive compare to everything else i have seen Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Got some genuine work wheels at the coaters as we speak 14's were too small for the JAM kit haha Cheers mate, haven't seen many similar colour combinations around and been rocking these for a while already Can't wait to see your works wheels, usually can't go wrong with them! What splitter is that as it seem massive compare to everything else i have seen It's from a civc mate. Yeah, it's a bit bigger than laguna lip for example but I think It's just the right size for my glanza. I want it to be simple and sleek but still agressive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
