Jordk Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 About time I updated this as there's been ALOT of work done!Well after having the car completely stripped I cleaned all the interior etc.The dash board and other trim was sent away to get flocked and came back looking rather tasty Wasn't long until the whole lot was fitted Also acquired a lovely Bride seat from Idrees and this was given a good clean and I stitched up a few burst seams and sits all pretty in the drivers side. (better pics are needed!) Also had a friend re trim the door cards After considering wether or not to go for braces or a cage my wallet decided for me at the time and went for braces. A Zisco 6 point to be precise. All fitted after hours of shouting and screaming at it... Think the rear could do with being carpeted but have more important things to think about. Like the engine! As in the previous posts I have Hawwys old forged engine. Also have the TRD diff gearbox from my no longer daily drive starlet previously imaged (swapped for a Pulsar. Regretted that almost immediately its shit).All ancillaries given a clean and paint. New belts etc fitted. All brand new Roose Motorsport silicone hoses fitted everywhere. Nice subtle Black.Also did I mention I got some poly mounts and a clear belt cover too Then on to the clutch and flywheel. Toda lightened flywheel and an ACT Clutch All fitted A few more Zisco goodies I decided to treat myself to!Not awfully keen on some of the welding on the manifold but if it works Im happy! Also the fuel rail bore is massive!! AN-10! And my catch can from Dean at RW Developments After a long time thinking about turbo set ups. I always longed for a Race-Tech GT28 set up but at the time was out of my budget. Fortunately for me 'Blitz' put his up for sale for a price I couldn't refuse! Absolute work of art. Heres a test fit to the engine We thought that it might be possible that it would fit in the bay with the turbo fitted. We were wrong. Heres some of it before we realised this. After a few cuts and bruises she was in! (and turbo refitted...)Dat screamer tho... Now just to work out these cheap ass AN fittings I bought. Think I got the wrong ones for the hose... Also plugged most of it in apart from vacuums and inlet stuff as awaiting gaskets etc. Have Emanage Ultimate as well for it but that'll get fitted etc when its getting mapped! All thats really left to get is; Brakes (deposit paid)Bumper, skirts etcNew FPR and braided linesRear caliper refurbRear ARB and panhard rodRear axle poly bushesDelivery of Race-Tech exhaustRadiatorIntercooler and pipework (in talks with Dean from RW about fabrication)CV joints/bootsJust little bits and bobs after that. Want nearly everything to be brand new! Or as close to it as possible! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
