morgey Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Get a small 12x6, nice and sleek Naa im staying uk spec, more sleeper ;)Soo decided to whip my air filter off today and leave it soaking so i can re-oil it and also got my indicators off so i can change them to the unsmoked ambers i swapped with matts.But due to the rain im currently sitting indoors staying warm next to the fire so i now have no air filter and no indicators lolAnyway thought i would give you guys a tease of the throttles open http://youtu.be/WTYTs29eKLo Quote
morgey Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Im tempted to take it out for a drive but i haven't got a skid pan and with not even some gauze over them im too paranoid about a small stone or something getting in them Quote
morgey Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Well man'd up and went out and fitted the indicators back on in the snow! really happy with them so they will be staying. Also got a few pics for y'all Got a personal security guard, he's a badman u get me!!What ya think? Quote
Matts Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Looks way better with the ambers buddy glad they got there ok nice and shiney! Quote
morgey Posted March 9, 2013 Author Posted March 9, 2013 Same brightens the front up loads, think i might be after the sides but wont be until after next weekend if your still interested in swapping them aswell? Quote

Definitely mate dibs!! im up for it just pm me when you want to swap thanks Quote
Jamie93DLZ Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Ive always preferred ambers on all cars such as sierras, think it breaks the car up... Looks great morgey and i think i read this full thread every week lol Quote
morgey Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 Haha thanks man! i wish i could make quicker progress with it but i dont have any where to work on it other than my parents garden which is just sodden over winter, even if i had a stone driveway it would be better. But nooo that costs to much!I've got so much to do but nowhere to do it Once i get this weekend out of the way im going to save up and have both sets of wheels sprayed and get everything filling my room up fitted. Im getting fed up with it all now Quote
Chris Green Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Those trumpets are epic! Real nice addition to your bay! Quote
morgey Posted March 13, 2013 Author Posted March 13, 2013 I know Its a shame i have to cover them up with the air filter Quote
_shaun_ Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Livesports lip http://www.rhdjapan.com/live-sports-front-lip-spoiler-ep91-lufle-50994. Never seen a car with it apart from that picture so would suit your unique build lol Quote

Never seen a car with it apart from that picture so would suit your unique build lolAhh cheers for linking us shaun, one big reason that won't fit unfortunately, thats the jdm facelift bumper Quote
Amjad Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 It's rare, but quite ugly! I reckon you should go for a TTE lip! None on the scene in the UK mainland! Quote
morgey Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Haha agreed its not the prettiest thing in the world Im not sure on the tte it just doesn't seem to actually be any lower, i want something that going to hit the floor before my manifold and also to hide it a bit as well :/ Quote
Amjad Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 Yeah I see what you mean it covers some of the bumper rather than lowering it more. Sucks that there's no decent NA aftermarket bumpers about. I know of MS designs kit but it reminds me of Corsas! Remix is nice but it's been done several times! If I was gonna convert my NA, I would get this done. It works so well IMO Quote
morgey Posted March 14, 2013 Author Posted March 14, 2013 Glanza front with n/a lights, different but too glanza rep lol Im probably just going to raid a scrappy and see what i come up with but for now ill go without Quote
Billy SR Posted March 14, 2013 Posted March 14, 2013 i've always wondered if it's possible to just take an optional glanza lip and get it smooth onto an n/a bumper Quote

Big_T-SR Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 It's rare, but quite ugly! I reckon you should go for a TTE lip! None on the scene in the UK mainland! Actually, I have one, let's not forget about the ol' school members. Quote
Big_T-SR Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Good job Morgey! Long time no read and the progress is amazing. I remember you asking about my 4AGE back then, now you're going to have all the questions directed to you Can't wait to see you at Japfest mate! Quote
morgey Posted March 29, 2013 Author Posted March 29, 2013 Dude i was going to Pm you the other day, see how you were getting on with yours had if you still even had it! Didnt even realise you were going to JF, will have to park up next to each other Quote
Big_T-SR Posted March 29, 2013 Posted March 29, 2013 Sorry mate, mine's CAT D as you know now. But I will still be going in Shelly's Glanza. See what you youngen's have been up to lol. I love the open trumpets, it has a huge effect on the flow and power changing from filtered to open.Best thing is, if you drive it normally you can get almost the same amount of mpg as the 4EFE, but then you have the option to open it up. Shame it goes through more oil tho.. the 4EFE didn't seem like it needed any oil EVER. Sorry to hijack your thread,How are you finding yours? Is the clearance ok, with the downpipe and all? Quote
morgey Posted March 30, 2013 Author Posted March 30, 2013 Sorry to hear about that but will be good to catch up anyway. Tbh I've never run mine open, far to paranoid about a stone or something finding its way in especially since i don't have a under tray any more! But now you said that it is quite tempting hahaBut yeah mpg is great, mid to high 30's easily but i think my thermostat is sticking a bit as mine seems to run cold at times and goes on to cold idle and uses a bit more fuel at times Can't say mine uses any oil though, never had to top mine up between services or anything :sThe downpipe isn't too bad considering how low it sits, i can still get my cusco lower brace on if i wanted but then i catch that on everything so haven't used it, my main issues atm seem to be the engine mounts being a bit soft. (age related i guess) so need to get new ones but being one is custom it makes it a bit of a ball ache! Getting tempted to buy a set of levin mounts and re-do mine as they are 22 year old corolla gti mounts and the design of mounts has improved greatly over this type. It probably doesn't help that im not using the front or lower torque mounts either, im just relying on the poly filled starlet mount on the back lol Quote
Big_T-SR Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 Yer mate, i'm looking forward to seeing you guys again. If you do open it tho, it will take a little time for the engine to adjust itself to the change in air, I kept my sensor near the throttle as the plenum chamber didn't fit as should be the same as yours. But you're running trumpets aren't you? that's open.. Cold at times? hmm, I can't say I've had that issue, but mine used a bit of oil.. my bro's AE111 Levin with the same engine did the exact same so I assumed it was the norm for a high revving engine. When I got the engine from Fensport It came with the Ae111 engine mounts, but my mechanic ended up making his own mounts as it was easier and less fiddly seeming as he had to cut and reinforce the chassis anyway.Yours seems to be sitting nicely, are you happy with the changes?
