With the back arches did you remove the arch trim fixings completely? Got squeaky arches myself but can't raise it up.

Was actually gong to buy this car, drove 2.5 hours with the cash but couldn't get the immobiliser to disengage. Was a real clean shell.

That would explain why the alarm was unplugged when I bought it then!

Yeah chopped the inside out completely

Nice GT :)

Cheers bro!

Well, to summarise, I bought BCs, a set of t1rs and had a wheel fall off at 55 because I'm a spastic

Bit disappointed with the bcs as they don't go low at all, but they ride nice and work a lot better than my previous set up!

So she's now running a walboro 255 fuel pump and a polished race spec rocker cover.

Engine bays changed a bit since I've owned it

Well happy to be running almost 180bhp on my setup!

180 is that without a map?

No map, .8 bar to avoid fuel cut

Thats a nice result.

Any plans for mapping?

Yeah I think I'll go with emb and a map at td, but I want an LSD, exhaust and probably wheels first aha

Standard turbo? Good power for no map, almost too good to be true!! Should break 200 with a map though

I was surprised, and dubious at first, but after I saw an a3 and a 106 both make 50bhp less than what they should've made i was happy lol

Not much to report on, got a hypersport shortshift and fitted that along with some bearings to replace the ruined gear linkage bushes, still not sure if I like the short shift yet!

Turbo oil seals are gone, it's been smoking like a trooper, so it's getting taken apart in the next few days if the weather lets me

Also got a clunk/knock which seems like lower arm bushes, so some poly bushes and an ALK will probably be coming soon!

So on my birthday last week I spent a couple hours pulling my turbo off

4A12EE5E-C5E9-4669-8679-C231355F7FCA_zps

Another wepr screamer cracked

AF5DFE00-A29B-4710-925D-86013496E31F_zps

And off

7B04BAAE-2933-47D7-AFEA-0AF315584443_zps

So within an hour of calling Midland Turbo, the courier was at my house to pick it up, great service there, should be finished today or tomorrow

Got all new gaskets, new water lines and a new oil return/feed to go on, hopefully it'll all go together properly this time and nothing like the fuck up when I fitted the new kit lol

So I got my turbo back

Looks so fresh! Can't wait to get it fitted

Also finally fitted my manual centre console to get rid of the auto buttons, and the cup holders Dave gave me

She's currently sitting on my drive covered in crap, hopefully get it running again soon

Running fully braided waterlines, race tech braided oil feed, need to sort out the return and intercooler piping but just glad it makes these noises again

So the starlets still smoking the same as before the turbo got rebuilt, now it's not my daily it's just been sitting on my drive being unloved

It did however get a custom centre section made by my mate

EDE78B5A-CA59-4BFC-A52A-CC2B287709D7_zps

So I'm hoping the smokings got something to do with the shitty oil return on the turbo, bought some stainless pipe, but forgot to buy new gaskets (doh!) so we couldn't do it today, but he had a look anyway

CEB58C40-3B57-404F-8A8E-D3F72D93B7D9_zps

Also got a hks air filter to replace the halfords crap and gave it a refurb

Haven't updated in ages, seen as its smoking and I recently found swarf on the sump plug I've lost a lot of love for it.

Bought an LSD box off Kbond (what a knob) all the threaded holes were stripped out and it fucking leaks so that hasn't helped

Also bought a set of twinpots which made the brake pedal go so soft and one ended up sticking on so they're back in a box in the shed till I can be arsed to do anything with them

So yeah I doubt fuck all will happen with this because I want a house now lol.

So despite needing a rebuild, I bought wheels for this Posted Image

Finally found some in 15s for the starlet, they're in awful condition but they'll get refurbed before I actually run them

And I'll be that sad arse who has matching wheels
