JayJ Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Is that tegiwa bmcs? I have one too waiting for install. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yes it is. Going to install it this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Woop woop!Today was a good day. Installed new fresh radio surround, thanks to Browner!Also installed the BMCS using TGTT instructions. http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?96326-Tegiwa-brake-stopper/page2My engine mount bolt was way too long for the BMCS to fit, so had to think how to figure it out. Didn't want to cut the bolt as it is in quite challenging place and I wasn't sure how it would have ended....so did it like this!Took 3 washers, cut small slices off them so I could fit them without removing the bolt! Turned out perfect. Cheers to Browner again!And then we had the first meeting of UKSO Finnish Department with JayJ Yay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The weather was also as bad as it is usually at the Headquarters ;-)) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 this may be why i cant get my bmcs to fit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Do the washer trick matey! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Oh yes, got my CT9 decat today from funny onion (thanks)! It took THREE weeks for it to arrive, thx royal mail! Luckily it arrived at last, almost lost my faith! The car is now tucked away for the winter. Me and my two friends rented a warm garage where we can work and do our stuff while the weather is bad. The car is really dirty right now, but I'm going to tidy it up alot during the winter. Next thing I'm going to do is to take the turbo and mani out and get the mani ported at a professional workshop! Then alot of cleaning inside and out, loosen the stuck front coilover and lower a bit more, get some gauges, install my HKS actuator and wind the boost up...And more. Busy winter comming up!

Socks Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Awesome Update! Exhaust is going to sound awesome with a decat buddy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funny onion Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Yay everyone's happy! Looking awesome, I'm going to order a bmcs so ill probably end up trying washers too. Like the look of the s2000 as well. Looks like a sweet little place you've got to work on the cars and stuff! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 Cheers socks, I'm waiting for good results on both sound and power. And yeah, the washers were much easier than to take out the bolt and cut it just to the right lenght.My mates have that s2000 and a -98 caldina gt. I might be posting more pics later of those too...still in middle of moving in to the garage so can't do much yet.Has anyone tried prosport gauges? Been thinking if I should try a set of those...

Amjad Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Depo gauges are the one ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 So maybe depos then ;) Any other good and reasonably priced recommendations on gauges? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Nothing new with glanza yet, but got myself a winter hatch! Has only 140k km on the clock and very minor rust. Only slight problems are with idle...as usual with hondas I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Ok something happening again! Got our final winter shelter finally and the cars are in! The place is almost perfect, 140m2 space to do what ever we want. Also started taking things apart. Going to port the mani by a professional and install my decat and HKS actuator.Going to take off the turbo, mani and decat next weekend and taking the mani to the porting next week. Today also ordered a bunch of new parts from toyota (gaskets, thermostat, oil feed for turbo etc....).Also a few more things to do: remove the passenger side front coilover and try to loosen up the bottom part to lower the front more, clean the engine bay, install C J Performance anti lift kit and HEL brake lines when they arrive and some other misc stuff.

whitestar Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Cheers! Hey by the way, is there anything I should know when removing the manifold and turbo? Never done it before! Should I warm it up or can I just carefully try to loosen the nuts when cold? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JayJ Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 And how much is the hourly fee for another Glanza, if using own tools? ;-D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whitestar Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) Well well, got something done today at our garage.Finally got the turbo and mani off. Wasn't as easy as I thought but not too hard either with right tools. Everything looks pretty well actually, clean and working!Only cracks I could find were in the mani collector:and in the wastegate:Othervise turbo looks nice and no shaftplay at all!Also tried my decat on the setup, fits like it should. This is how she stands now just befere leaving the garage tonight (with one new wheel on ;)). Edited January 5, 2013 by whitestar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whitestar Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Got my HEL brakelines installed this weekend. Also restored my VERY hazy headlights and removed my stuck coilover and left it soaking in fuel oil. Gonna try to loosen it again later this week...
