Matt1878 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 ****Small update**** -Did as most other people will have done today and cleaned the car, no pictures of that as it was going a little dark when I was done.-I did manage to clean up the exhaust as that was letting the car down loads. The body work came up really nice bar a couple of little areas that need attention.-Gave the starlet mats a bit of rejuvenation as they were looking tired too-Filled in all the holes from where the roll cage was removed Exhaust came up really well, the picture really doesn't do it justice! Next on the list is:-Lower the car some more-Source a new cambelt cover as mine is tapping as its warped from heat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Unsure on what to do with the wheels! They really look sweet as on the car but need a refurb..Do I keep them the gunmetal/metallic grey colour? I'll post a pic and get peoples opinions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TrisK Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Your engine torque damper Matt, where it bolts at the bottom is the wrong size of the mount. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt1878 Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 Your engine torque damper Matt, where it bolts at the bottom is the wrong size of the mount.Where it bolts at the block or at the strut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Where it bolts at the block or at the strut?block. it should be the drivers side of the bracket. so it sits straight rather than a slight angle Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt1878 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 Update... After Trisk had pointed out the my Torque damper was on a diagonal, after going to look at this it was so easy to notice...So I re-fitted that..Now looks like this (Hope its right!) Next update is a bit of a shitty one... Toyotin TD04 Manifold has a big dirty crack in it... Bastard!..I know these manifolds are pony but for now I will just have to get it welded as I cant afford my new setup yet! PAIN IN THE ANAL REGION!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt1878 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Share Posted March 12, 2014 (edited) WTF can't believe the mani has cracked been going strong a very long time.. Have you been naughty and hit boost everyday lol you know like 1 bar but on a real note that sucks still one of the cleanest glanzas I've seen i really looked after it when i owned it hope you sort it matt I wish dude! I wouldn't mind so much... Only noticed it when I gave it a proper clean the other day. Put my hand over and its blowing like mad. Only been pottering around to work at 5am etc.. Filled up £20 when I came off the motorway after meeting you and Ive still got loads left .... Will be welding it up for the time being and saving up for an External Setup.

Matt1878 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Small update...Toyosports stainless manifold was cracked, I'm sure a lot of you were surprised to hear that news!Well, it's been repaired.. Welded it up for now around all branches turbo end. Just a repair job for now until I can look at getting my new setup (still undecided what).Also the bottom of the cambelt case has warped slightly and is scuffing along the pulley. Found a hole without a bolt so popped one in with a pretty big washer to quieten it down. Free fix until I have time to buy and fit a new case Quote Link to post Share on other sites
