Socks Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 There was a particular boost gauge I wanted for this car. Because the colour scheme matches the GT Clocks Perfectly! Managed to find a brand new one in JDM... So over it came! There were some holes in the dashboard that a 'PRICK' previous owner had used screws to attached what I can only assume was a gauge before me.So I used the same holes and covered them with a gauge. Then very tidily ran the hose and electrical wires down the gap and after removing the A/C Buttons (A/C is gone), ran them through the hole. So no further butchering was done. I cant stress enough to people. NEVER EVER, cut holes in the fucking dashboard. TWAT MOVE... To my surprise, after already fitting an actuator and increasing the boost to what I THOUGHT, was the right level. I was only boosting to 0.3bar. Guess im just not used to CT9's haha.So a bit of extra tension on the actuator, to my surprise... Spool was MUCH faster and 0.6bar is bang on. Holds it to the redline too. Amazing for a CT9 really. Wish i'd have done it sooner. I could have put a bigger gap between me and akyakapotter on track at JF2 . Also, got my hands on some Pioneer Carrozzeria JDM Shelf Speakers. Makes a nice change actually. To have decent sound in a starlet. Usually so rubbish! Then came the night time. Only In Japan... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, im using this car daily now as the Corolla T-Sport is gone.Im going to do the bodywork over winter. But mechanically speaking a few things need doing! Simple stuff first. Front Discs and Pads: Painted the disc bells black to help prevent rusting.Also fitted a full set of Rays Wheel Nuts. To get rid of the rusty things it had before. Sorry about the dirty wheels its raining a fair bit here atm, not had chance to give her a wash! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
