mattyD Posted April 21, 2014 Author Share Posted April 21, 2014 Sorry for the lack or activity on this thread lads, I didnt wana be looking at this thread as it just infuriated me of which I am sure you can all imagine!! Anyway..................................................She is now, after another 6 months or so, back up and running again! albeit slightly raw (need a couple of bits fine tuning) but she is now boosting away again and im fucking loving it haha! The looks I get from folk makes it all worth while So to the updates as to what has been going on and the cause of my problems, it may take a few attempts to get up to date as I have a few pictures! As you know the throttle kept jamming up, spoke to Ricky and we agreed to send my throttle body back for him to inspect. It turns out the bearings on the butterfly shaft had loads of play in them causing the butterfly to move up and down and jam on the inside of the throttle body! This apparently was caused by a lack of bracket holding the TPS on to the bottom allowing it to move around, how true this is I don't know as this problem never arose the first time I picked it up but I just went with it................after a few weeks it was decided that the TB couldnt be fixed and that a new one was needed. Another one came from his supplier but unfortunately the bolt pattern was different to the original so I then had to whip the inlet off and send that back to him to be modded. I also opted to have an O-ring put in between the TB and inlet, apparently seals better and will obviously get rid of the horrible sealant around the join A couple of before an after pictures, you can slightly see the butterfly bent over from hitting the inside of the TB This was rectified, a new TB WITH the bracket was sent out and this is what I got to be fair, does look a hell of a lot better than what was on there before Much happier with how it is now The TPS needs a little adjustment as it a litle jumpy when at low revs but other than that she seems as sweet as a nut! Here's a couple of other small bits I have done while she's been off the road, kind of lost the love for her since she has been fucking about so to be fair I have been really lazy and not done much lol. Mounted my AEM gauge, just need to get it plumbed in so it works properly. I am booked in at an exhaust place down the road to get the bung welded in later this week. got round to fitting my flocked trim (although I have no pictures of it fitted for some reason) I noticed I was lacking clips and the screws so went to toyota and ordered a few bits. Quite surprised they can actually get new screws etc still old vs new Got some TRD rep carbon dipped interior mirror trim, not to far off the TRD pattern and brightens the place up a bit lol Due to the car being stood around for a while and the absolutely shocking weather we had over Christmas, I noticed a small puddle of water had appeared in the back of my car so off came the rear plastics and the leak was traced back to the rear lights! I assumed it was the rubber seals so off the lights came to have a little look........ It appears that someone before had the same problem and to try and solve it the siliconed the old seals the the body itself lol top work! New seals where ordered and arrived in a week or so old ones looking pretty hanging Old vs new lovely new seals on ready for the light to be fitted back on my temp fix to try and stop further rain lol Took the rear bumper off to fit the lights back in properly and look at the state of it! gave it a quick clean up and polish didn't come out to badly and will do until she goes back in for more work done to the shell While i was at it, I replaced the boot seal then fitted the lights back in and gave her her first wash in about 5 months lol! I have also got my new lights and 98 spec fogs in as well, makes the car look so fucking fresh on the front now cant beat a crystal clear look, so much better than these tints in my eyes Anyway, that's it for the time being I have probably missed a load of stuff and still have loads more pictures to put on but I cant be assed at the moment lol, this has taken me forever to put up! I have fallen back in love again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azz Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Looking like a monster buddy, I had the exact same problem with the Inlet, bearings were shagged so the unit had to be replaced only tofind it was a different bolt pattern.In short of it the end of the inlet was chopped off and the new plate welded on, just a pain as it's unforseen costsSo happy to see your not breaking this matt, would have been a shame with it being so close to completion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
