Jim* Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Right so my engine has been blown for over a month now! and finally I have purchased a new engine!will be going to TD tomorrow to have a stage 2 forged engine fitted and then the fun can finally begin again! little update too, bought a HDI front mount for £150 delivered but was a bit shabby when it arrived! The side tanks were covered in crap so I set out to polish them up and make them shiny again One side polished All done! looks loads better almost like new to be honest really pleased with it. Can't wait to get the car back now, I'm having boost withdrawal symptoms! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim* Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 So car has been at tuning developments this week, then received a call Thursday saying my car was done so took a long drive up to warrington to go and pick up my car! after not having it for like 7 weeks it's not been nice! Thanks to chris for selling me the engine! car is running sweet as a nut now, just running it in at the minute but can't wait to start boosting! Got a stage 2 forged package built by mike at tuning developments, Massive thank you to him as he has done a great job! would recommend them to anybody looking to have any work done on their cars. anyway only got it yesterday so not really got any pictures only 1 quick one from last night. http://s1083.photobucket.com/user/jim_169/media/D046C3C5-DE68-43D2-86C8-C8A8007E5E3F-13443-00000B0CBEC4A944_zps860bdd67.jpg.html'> Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim* Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Haven't updated on here for a loooong time so will do a little update, Had a few little problems, had my MOT and car failed on the handbrake cable so on the drive home from their I also managed to drive over a screw and get a flat tyre which was a bit of a kick while I was down!So I replaced the handbrake cable got a re-test and all passed. Bought some temporary wheels aswel as I needed all new tyres and I wanted 15" instead of 16" so bought these off a member on here. Not a fan of them at all especially the colour but they had good tyres on so they would last me until i got some better wheels. I was having a slight oil leak coming from the dizzy cap which made a pretty good mess! Bought a new seal from toyota for about £3 and problem solved Currently gathering up a few different parts got a SARD FPR and have also bought this Just slowly stocking the parts up ready to be mapped at TD My decat had started to blow very badly as I think it is only a cheap toyosports one or somthing like that so took it off and it had cracked half the way around! So got a friend to weld that up for me, unfortunately forgot to take a photo! Pretty annoyed with myself about butchering up my 98spec bumper so in the future I'll be looking to get another one uncut and a much thinner core as the HDI is fucking huge. Also decided to give my fuel rail a clean one day as I was bored Before: After: The picture really does it no justice, it looks brand new! really pleased how it came out! Then bought some new wheels yesterday off another member on here, really happy with them, will be getting a refurb and spray at some point mind! but here's a pic how it stands now. Only problem I have at the minute is an idle issue, it will idle around 2k and sometimes when slowing down in neutral it will almost pulse up and down the revs to 2k then die to 1k then rev up to 2k and so on which is really frustrating! can't seem to find the cause for it at the minute but I wont let it beat me! That's about it for the minute will make some small updates as and when they happen. Another pic I took the other day after a wash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
