Scoobysvx Posted January 1, 2016 Author Share Posted January 1, 2016 Haha I priced a cv boot in toyota not long ago, got a right scare!I know I sucks don't it! At least I won't have to worry about them in the future! Some serious work hear ladKeep it upThanks buddy So true man, so true Is that the Subaru with the bad-azz engine? Hw do u end up with split boots?Nah don't think so... These came with eg33's... 3.3 N/AWhat do you mean the new or old ones? The new ones come with some sort of resin to glue them together Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Had a nightmare with the CV boots this weekend after purchasing them from Toyota with the chassis number they still turned out to be wrong, no surprise there! After a lot of phone calls to and from the dealer we concluded the the inner ones are no longer available 😡 much to my disappointment as id already started to fit them! Rather than wasting £50 odd for them I though of a solution, the cut outs in the cup were the issue so I attempted to fill those and continue fitting the new boots This is the one I tried to repair previously as it had completely split and covered my bay in grease! Here's the solution we come up with to try and get round it... Opinions/Solutions/Criticism welcome...Using a plastic bottle I made a circle shape to contain the abro steel while I was working it in. I chose to use this as I've had good experiences with it before and I'm able to remove it if it doesn't work out.Once they've fully harden I'll clean up the excess, file the inner edge completely smooth and cut 2 small groves in them so they boot will fit properly. Fingers crossed!Got my rear lights fitted though 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 So weird I fitted my fears yesterday exactly the same, removing mine tho as I don't think they suit the sr. Good progress mate you're getting over these hurdles well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) She's looking lovely mate Thanks mate!So weird I fitted my fears yesterday exactly the same, removing mine tho as I don't think they suit the sr. Good progress mate you're getting over these hurdles wellGreat minds think alike 😛 oh no not a fan of them? I'll check it out in a mo! Cheers mate, struggling to find the motivation again though 😔 I'll post the to do list later... It's not getting no smaller haha Edited January 11, 2016 by Scoobysvx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ha ha it's like any project I guess you just keep finding more things you want to do. If I had a spare 5k I think I could blow it on the car in a couple of days easily. Not surprised you lose a bit of drive now and again as it seems like you've had a few obstacles a long the way. Are you going to be the first person on here to try the longer final gear mod? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Began the job of cleaning up the cups and getting a grove cut into the new part for the boot to fitTest fitted the boot using the old clip. No grease will be getting past thatPrimed and painted Will post pictures up of the other side when I've got some more black paint! Really pleased with the outcome though 😊Ha ha it's like any project I guess you just keep finding more things you want to do.

Are you going to be the first person on here to try the longer final gear mod?Yeh you've got that right, like any project there never 'finished' lol I'm sure we all could jase, if only 😛 Yeh it's so close to being road worthy now, I need to pull my finger out! That the long term plan yes, hopefully in a couple of years I'll completely change the drivetrain, IRS subframe and different gear ratios Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Well I'd definalty say that getting it on the road and enjoying it is in order I think you'll have bags of fun. Even though I've got no power at the moment I love driving the sr, just puts a smile on my face Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted January 12, 2016 Author Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) That's the plan mate i just want to get it back on the road and enjoy it now! Think it'll be a fun daily 😉 That's the main thing buddy Edited January 12, 2016 by Scoobysvx Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted January 22, 2016 Author Share Posted January 22, 2016 No real updates atm due to a few other projects but I have managed to source the long lost items! Throttle cable bracket that's goes onto the inlet, wire wheeled and paintedAlso got a O/S headlight as my last one got burnt in a small garage fire 😢It's in pretty good condition as it is but I'm just waiting for marco to polish it for me 😂Here's the remains of the burnt one... I was looking for the other headlight for about 20 minutes while my dad was grinding away in the garage... Then I come back in to find a pretty big fire and the headlight I had found melted into the orange box 😕 And as you can guess I found the other headlight about 10 seconds after we put the fire out😡 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 So what do you do when you've got an unfinished project... Buy another one I recently purchased a Glanza with low compression. After a strip down it was clear to see what was at fault! Time to rebuild the head Various parts cleaned up ready to be refitted Back from the machine shop from having the head skimmed... Note the build up on the exhaust valvesDe-coked all the valvesLapping the valves back in and installing the new valve stem seals 😴First valve back in!All lapped in and looking clean!Finished up with a fresh lick of paint Really pleased with the results!

Scoobysvx Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 I finally got round to mounting the Pas pump this weekend and making the lines from the rack. This gave me a chance to offer up the wings and bumper finally Nothing's bolted up properly hence the gaps and bumper is a little misshaped due to be sat in my bedroom for 2 years and never being fitted! All will be good once bolted on though!Should look spot on once the skirts are fitted and the cars lowered some more! Power fold mirrors fitted too.Also managed to remove the EMB and repair the loom in readiness so I can use the powerfc to start the car and know it's all okay before I change over to the link ECU. Wiring for the Oil pressure & temperature gauge run into the cabin ready to be fitted once the dash is back in. I'm hoping to get the fuses and distribution box sorted in the next couple of weeks so the battery can be mounted in the boot and once the oil return is fitted she should be ready to fire up!! Still lots to be fitted though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
00joeindastarb0 Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 Definitely the best current 4paw build, great attention to detail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MustakimQZ Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Can't wait for more updates on this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Thanks guys Currently trying to figure out who to map the link ecu, it will most likely end up at race-tech to be fitted, run in and mapped hopefully within the next 6 weeks Just waiting on some parts to get the battery wired up in the boot properly. Still need to sort the oil return before I can fire it up though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I tackled the never ending job of the power steering pump this weekend... I sure hope it works faultlessly when it's up and running after all the time and effort that's been put into it! Wiring now complete with a heavy duty multi plug installed, just need to get some high pressure hose to run to and from the rack and job done! I managed to get all the small annoying jobs done... Clipping the loom into place around the headlights and wings. Installed the pressure sender and sensor for the oil gauges.Got the oil return sorted for now! Unfortunately things have started to rust due to it being sat outside for so long Heater pipes fitted tooRan the wiring for the boost solenoid which I mounted under the slam panel and ran the vac pipesI got all the vac pipes sorted, Dv, map sensor, gauge etc.Throttle cable bracket on tooIntercooler refitted again!! Doesn't look like much has changed but tied up a lot of loose ends Cleared out the interior too not that you can tell 😂 and also got some more sound deadening.Unfortunately I need a couple of small things before I can start it which I forgot about... AN Union for the fuel filter and braided clutch line. I got an inline fuse and power distribution box as the battery's going in the boot.Hopefully there'll be some significant updates in the near future! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Mate they were significant updates! It's always the little things that take ages. Bet you can't wait to actually have it back on the road. Oh by the way, do you have the plastic adjuster cog for the 98 spec seats? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MR-2 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Damn that car is sweet, good work By the way, turbo return hose rubber? If is, it won't last long, be carefull, huge fire risk... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bet you can't wait to actually have it back on the road. Oh by the way, do you have the plastic adjuster cog for the 98 spec seats? Yeh mate you've got that right! Hopefully things can start moving forward a lot quicker now You don't understand, it's been about 18 months now :/ Yeh sorry buddy I'll drop you a text later! Damn that car is sweet, good work By the way, turbo return hose rubber? If is, it won't last long, be carefull, huge fire risk...Thanks mate! Yes it is a rubber hose, just a temporary fix so I can get it running, I'll be getting a silicone one soon ... That'll be the last thing I need! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Some small updates for now...I ditched the smaller clutch line and had a custom Hel one made from the master to the slave Also sourced the hose for the PAS, fuel filter fitting and steering wheel boltsFuel rail connected to the filter now but I might get a right angle fitting for the filter as I'm not too happy with how it is atmRunning the clutch line against the bulk head P clipping it to the fuel filter, still need to figure out where it's going on the front of the gearbox but I need to finish the wiring there firstStarted connecting up the power distribution boxMore fun to come tomorrow 😊 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
