Taggy Posted November 12, 2011 Author Share Posted November 12, 2011 Cheers guys should be on the road week after next, its been a mad two and half months Bled the brakes today, still spongy though, gonna have to do them again. For some reason when bleeding the drums at the back hardly any brake fluid was being pumped through the lines, which is odd, so need to check that. I also put all the dash back in too and my aluminium fuel filler cap arrived but its the wrong feckin size.Cant do too much now i am just waiting for the 25th to come up to go get my exhaust fitted.Wahoo, yes defo be up for a meet when its done.awesome you best be bringing this to the welsh meet? ;) hehe.cant wait to see this beauty Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Idrees Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 As Sparky said, this is awesome especially considering how quick you've done all the work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks Idress and Sparky, I have always wanted a sleeper and when the opportunity came up to make one with an old starlet I jumped at it. Suffice to say I am well happy i did it, not forgetting my mate Leon Dendle who helped out with plenty, especially the electrical diagrams.I'll get some vids up week after next once the exhuast is on I wouldn't like to think how many hours its taken though, lots!

Taggy Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Started looking at plumbing in the FMIC this weekend, its going to be much more difficult than i anticipated. There is no way in hell I can fit in my thick core front mount intercooler from my EP82 and also the pipework is all out of whack as the engine bay is much shorter.Looks like i will have to get a slim size one and then also pay someone to make up the custom pipes for me, sigh, i was hoping to save my self a few hundred quid by using the one off the ep82.Anyway here is my latest video of my work to date on the car, in the vid im talking about fitting the fmic, but thats before i realised it was to big!EP70 (boxy starlet) 4EFTE Turbo conversion part 14: Figuring out how to fit the FMIC Exhaust is 4 days away now, excited i am!!how you pulled this off, and get married in such a short space of time is awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taggy Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Ok after a lot of ummin and arrring on what intercooler size to get due to the restricted room and also a major factor of the bonnet catch asembly sitting right in the middle, so i couldnt put a wide IC in.Decided to go for this onehttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310339042303?ssP...984.m1497.l2649I can fit this nicely on the left hand side of the radiator without it interfering with the bonnet catch and the rigidty bar which sits bang in the middle.Its pritty dinky, but probably about twice the size of the standard ICJust need some custom pipes then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 go for it will look good mate! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 When you hoping to get it done? Exhaust friday but when will you have the intercooler sorted? Seriously when it's finished we need to see some proper flyby videos etc it's gonna be so funny haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Yeah exhaust Friday, i reckon the intercooler will turn up Wed/Thur, just need to ring this place in bridgend called xzorst to see if they can fit me in for the intercooler piping.I'll defo get some vids up of some flybys and see if me and my mate can go stalk some big cars and make them look slow! lolz gonna be loads of fun just looking at peoples faces When you hoping to get it done? Exhaust friday but when will you have the intercooler sorted?

TrisK Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 have you got a more reasonable price for intercooler piping taggy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 YesI went to Xzorst in Bridgend and he said its going to be about £100 for the parts and then about 3 hours labour to make it all, so its gonna come in under £200 for all the custom piping work. I have provided my own intercooler though.Decided i am also going to get the exhuast system made there too as its easier, plus hes £100 cheaper than prospeed on the system!Result Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh@TunerLifestyle Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 GREAT SUCCESS! as borat would say sounds positive mate! whens all this happening? cant wait to see it finished! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
