Did you go billet?Yeah true, and yeah I can't wait haha Went for the WEPR hybrid TD04, think they may have released a new billet one after I bought my kit, not too sure... Quote

steve1093 Posted July 26, 2014 Author Posted July 26, 2014 So for the first time in 2 months, she is all back together and on the road Also got the headlights restored after about a year moaning about them.. Right side before, left side after Not too bad at all.. Quote
garrygt Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 nice build mate! a small heads up for the mani and turbo though, i have the exact same kit in my car and found that the old actuator brackets on the td04 comp housing hit underneath the bonnet when its shut. Not a massive problem but it meant i had to cut the brackets off the housing. hope this saves u a bit of hassle mate. Quote

steve1093 Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Not a lot of progress lately, mainly due to me breaking my hand and having it pinned and wired back together..I just need to get parts fitted so it's all ready for mapping. Managed to get a mate to sort a few bits out and fit my 255 fuel pump, so things are getting there.. just very slowly...Seeing though I can't actually do any work on the car means I'm just sat looking at new parts to buy.. so I had a few things turn up - Race-spec rocker cover- Catch can- TRD carbon dial surround- EPR rear tow hookQuality work by Dean @ RW-Developments again with the race spec rocker and catch can. Just need to get the rocker all polished up now Quote
jimmymac101 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Liking the new parts you must have destroyed your hand to need it pinned and wired ! James Quote

Ryan5793 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 some nice parts ready for this i have the same turbo kit and just so you know my turbo touches the bonnet so dont try slam it like i did when it dont close :/ lol Quote
wickedep Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 some nice parts ready for this i have the same turbo kit and just so you know my turbo touches the bonnet so dont try slam it like i did when it dont close :/ lol hey ryan, with this kit you need to shave down the bolt hole housing on the compressor housing. when you rotate the turbo housing down..the bolt hole housing sticks right out from the top. you need to trim it down mate. then you have enough clearance. hope this helps.

NewbieLewby Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 Cheers dude and haha yeah mainly my little finger, still sucks though ahaSucks about your hand buddyBut your car is the nuts Seriously nice Quote

steve1093 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Posted October 30, 2014 I know the progress with this is very slow, but is probably going to be even slower when I pick up the new daily...So after the near 600 mile round trip, and 12 hours of driving the Starlet up to and back from Middlesbrough, I have now purchased this Will probably get a progress blog up for this soon Quote

steve1093 Posted December 7, 2014 Author Posted December 7, 2014 First update in a fair while.. Spent all evening fitting my polished rocker cover and catch can in the dark and the cold.. not fun at all.. Only issue being, now I have the race spec rocker on I can't fit the top mount intercooler. And I can't fit the front mount I have as that is for the TD04 that I haven't got fitted. So I either change it all back, or leave it and not use it until I have the money to get it mapped with the TD04... So pretty much a wasted evening, which just involved a lot of swearing and pain!
