Essexglanza Posted August 8, 2015 Author Posted August 8, 2015 Been hard at work collecting parts for A TD04 conversion ,Currently have the gearbox being looked over and a hybrid TD04 being built.Here's some more pics Quote
Matt1878 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Looking good man.. I will always hold a soft spot for a white V. Quote
russ78 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 hi buddy done a little detective work for you ive found the previous owners username it is Butchysr and it appears he never had a build thread which is a shame for you but theres plenty of history if you read through his posts profile - http://www.ukstarletowners.com/user/10097-butchysr/ it appears you have had new big end shells fitted recently, read here - http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/86453-big-end-and-main-bearing-sizes/page-2 also it appears you have a Speedvision spec 2 ct9 hybrid with Zisco mani/decat, read here - http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/86736-speedvision-spec-2-hybrid-ct9-turbo-set-up-with-zisco-manifold-and-decat-sold/ hope this helps dude Quote
Essexglanza Posted August 9, 2015 Author Posted August 9, 2015 @Russ78 many thanks 👍He did say he had the engine rebuilt but no receipts means it hard to prove , the downpipe looks familiar too haha, nice bit of welding there.It's all coming off to be fair as I'm in the process of having a billet wheel put into a TD04 and have an external wastegate to fit also .I will get this built thread moving very shortly, have a long list of parts already purchased so will keep this up to date . Also helps the next owner of there is one haha 😉 Quote
russ78 Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 shame about the build thread but it does seem like hes looked after it which is great news for you, ill look forward to seeing progress on your thread Quote
Essexglanza Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 Started removing parts this evening ready for replacing the gearbox.This is all new to me so am taking me time with it all.Raining and dark so called it a day.Will be a big update on Sunday , collecting a hybrid TD04 with 19t billet wheel ????

Essexglanza Posted August 20, 2015 Author Posted August 20, 2015 Having a very trying week.After finding out that I have the wrong gearbox my plans have been put on holdFor now.I now have a fully working OEM LSD box for sale, I have a 2nd hand box to fit and unsure if it's good or not, risk what risk hahaHave fitted a 6 paddle clutch and lightened flywheel, fingers crossed it makes a difference Quote
Essexglanza Posted August 21, 2015 Author Posted August 21, 2015 Well I was sold it as a TRD but it's an OEM LSD box, looking for £420Trying to get some of my money back that's all Quote
mitsuruki Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 woot lsd atleast its a good gearbox lolz Quote
Essexglanza Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 Been a bit quiet lately but plenty going on, after messing around finding spares for the old girl I think I may have sorted a few things . Have all parts for the LSD box, just order a WEPR top mount manifold kit from sasha and picked up the short driveshaft, engine shield and mount from rich dog , some really helpful people out there 👍 Quote
Essexglanza Posted September 14, 2015 Author Posted September 14, 2015 this should be in my possession in little over a months time gave the cooler a lick of paint, weren't to keen on the pink WEPR spray so it had to go !!! nice lightened flywheel fitted along with a new 6 paddle clutch, no pics of that though ????.Project is coming along nicely Quote
Essexglanza Posted November 4, 2015 Author Posted November 4, 2015 Little update, Now fitted my new manifold, hybrid TD04 and downpipe.Still yet to start her up as need an oil return and water fittings. Quote
