Cattanach Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 Right so after a few hours of swearing and scraped knuckles managed to get the ct12 on!Proud considering nobody was around to help and it's not something I've done before haha!Only thing holding up it being completed is the oil feed line from the ct9 is too short so I'm awaiting a braided one from race-tech!Will be running it on the standard ct9 actuator and standard tmic for now until it's through its mot next week!

Cattanach Posted March 5, 2016 Author Posted March 5, 2016 So this finally arrived with 3 days to spare...Oooooh Shiny Got the car all back together before priming the turbo and a coolant change!Then took her out to see what the Ct12 could do!Goes well even at stock boost! A lot different to the ct9 and I'm eager to see what it can do with the boost raised a little higher! But all in good time Old fecked ct9! Not sure what to do with it.....Also she passed her mot with no advisories!!Not too shabby for a 22 year old car eh!Time to order some goodies!Roll on Japfest! Quote
Cattanach Posted April 26, 2016 Author Posted April 26, 2016 Few pics from Japfest!I came all the way from Edinburgh! Anyone else come as far as me ?Not exactly the best car to be doing a 6 hour journey in!! HahaWee wash a few days before..Then on the way down...Then at the show Was a good weekend although it took me a while to find the ukstarletowners stand! Plans have changed and wanting to go a more OEM/JDM/Jap setup!I bought a white race spec cover but not sure if it will fit with the rx7 tmic Quote
Cattanach Posted May 26, 2016 Author Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) Been a little bored lately and had a leak from cam cover gasket so ordered new gasket kit and painted up a spare rocker cover I had!Went for VHT Wrinkle black Also bought some Jap goodies Blitz Hot pipe and Blitz Decat, also got an Arc Tmic on the way!On the hunt for a few more rare bits, Especially a toms intake!

glanzadude Posted May 27, 2016 Posted May 27, 2016 (edited) I love this gt looks super clean and like the way you are keeping the top mount as most go frontmount and cut the shit out off the bumper Edited May 27, 2016 by glanzadude Quote
Cattanach Posted August 10, 2016 Author Posted August 10, 2016 Managed to get the blitz hot pipe, Arc tmic and rocker cover fitted!Looks so much better now!Also painted the tmic bracket in wrinkle black to blend in but it's not fitted in this pic!Been contemplating selling up but managed to convince myself otherwise!Ordered new rear discs,pads and wheel bearings so hopefully they should be here and fitted before end of the month.Hopefully get this list of things sorted before end of the year:Rear wheel bearing/disc/pads New rear light(condensation in mine due to crack)New exhaust or flexi (blowing at the flexi)Front discs/padsWing/bonnet/front bumper painted Lower arm polybushes Braided brake lines Tyres (getting close to the limit) Quote
Cattanach Posted August 30, 2016 Author Posted August 30, 2016 So decided while the weather was nice to crack on with changing the rear discs,pads and bearings.Nothing special just some Oem discs and ebc ultimax pads!Freshhh....Tadaaa lolAlso bought a custom axle back backbox with 3" tailpipe to quieten down the exhaust... Fitted it but I don't like! Annoying as the japspeed is too loud for my liking!So I'll swap that back over!Needs a service so will be doing that in next few weeks along with cleaning and re underselling the arches and sills! Just to get her ready for winter! Quote
Cattanach Posted September 6, 2016 Author Posted September 6, 2016 Was visiting my brother so made use of his karcher and gave the car a good scrub!Also had some flyeye headlight tint so was gonna do all 4 but thought it looked good with just the inners done. What do yous think ? Quote
Cattanach Posted November 14, 2016 Author Posted November 14, 2016 Can't decide wether to keep or sell this! Need to keep motivated tho! Got a Wepr power up kit to fit so going to get the turbo off this weekend and get the wastegate welded shut! Hopefully clean and re-underseal the sills while I'm there! Quote
JamesD89 Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 Keep it mate you will regret selling, still miss my Gt 2 years on especially looking at your pic above, looks very smart and a nice set up. Quote

Cattanach Posted December 7, 2016 Author Posted December 7, 2016 It's not pretty but it works! Sounds lovely aswell! Old crappy eBay downpipe had a big crack in it aswell as was blowing from the join to the exhaust!Fmic I bought months ago wasn't going to fit without a good big of modification so had to throw on the arc tmic and not going to lie I like it!Not taken her out yet as need to order the bits for the intake as the relocation kit I had on is now too big to fit in.Mismatch of colours going on haha but it's temperary don't worry!

5e colin Posted December 19, 2016 Posted December 19, 2016 great kits them ct9 powerup kits go up to 1` bar the turbo will come alive Quote
Cattanach Posted March 26, 2017 Author Posted March 26, 2017 Any updates on the car mate?Not a lot mate had it's MOT a few weeks back and passed with just a few advisories for tyres and my oil leak from crank seal.Just moved flat so money's been tight lately haha Quote
maerijn Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 I had the same flexible oil return however I replaced it because it kept leaking oil from it! I think it has to do with not having a bead at the end Quote
Cattanach Posted April 2, 2017 Author Posted April 2, 2017 Managed to pick up some new wheels for cheapish as the advans needed new tyres and 2 need refurbished ideally!15x6.5 Rota MSR'sPaintwork is starting to get more and more tired with one front wing being pretty bad! So weighing up my options! Full respray is out the question due to cost but may look at short term options like Matt/satin colours but I'll worry about that in a few months time.Car also passed it's mot first time with just advisories for the front tyres (advans), oil leak and condensation in the rear light.
