Hunty Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hi Guys, Thought i would put up a progress thread. I bought the car back in may last year of my friend with suspected ring failure low and behold this was the case. I never really worked on it as I was always fixing my 106 rallye haha I finally sold that up and started this year on the starlet Here is a pic of the pug Last weekend me and a mate stripped down the engine ready to replace the rings this weekend Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I can get it back up and running and get it on the road. Current spec of the car is as follows Engine:Tongs CT9 hybridHKS exhaust systemAutobahn 88 downpipe Magnecor leads iridium plugs Walbro fuel pumpFMICHKS actuator HKS SSQV Emanage blueBlitz turbo timer Exterior wheels and brakes etcRota grids with yoko parada spec 2'sTuning developments fast road brake kitTRS tow strap in green Interior Rear seats trims etc all stripped outMomo steering wheelTRS harnesses red Prosport gauges dash mounted boost oil temp and pressure More progress coming soon!
