Karenasx_ Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 Really don't know where to begin with this update but i'll keep it short and sweet.So! ... dropped my forged block knowing it had a misfire, but after hearing her run i had mixed views and everyone had an opinion on what it could be: bottom end, bent rods, cracked head...so i took her to a local performance garage and he suggested a rebuild, few months later after becoming highly impatient, i took the car back home due to no work even being begun.and i found a standard 4efte for sale. When bringing the car home i discovered the worst ever, my work wheels had been kerb'd and bent! honestly devastated isnt even the word!if anybody knows if or how much it'll be to fix chrome please get in touch please - After talking to Driftworks about my issue they have offered me a brand new wheel at a discounted price and suggested i keep the bent wheel as a spare wheel.Any whooo, new engine is finally in, and i plan on pulling insurance out on the old girl next week!Should hopefully be back on the road very soon !!

Karenasx_ Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 That poor wheel how did that happen? Be good to see it back on the road boosting again. cheers nick. I'm still unaware, it happened during the time the car was away but no one is owning up, and i have no proof to be going around making accusations. It's more annoying that it wasn't actually me, and it's been damaged while in the trust of some body else Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Karenasx_ Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 Very quick update** Collected a new head for the car which should be fitted next week, in the main time I've took back all the repairs on my Toms bumper and re-strengthened it with fibreglass (I say I, I mean the very kind fibreglass man at my boyfriends work) ????, that still needs sanding back and painting. Speaking of painting, I've stripped back all the pink off my rocker and strut brace, and rather than 50 shades of pink, I'll be spraying them in a fantasy pearl pink. I've decided the car requires a remap so after speaking to Mike from TD I've just purchased an Toyo sports mani and dp, HKS adjustable actuator, and a walbro fuel pump. Just after a ecu if anyone can help me there????Also just to brighten mood I've ordered another set of neons due to losing my last set ???????? Few pictures? Okay Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Looking good shame you went with toyo sports it will 100% crack and you'll be cursing it to the hills should have gotten a wepr set up much better in the long run. Cheers nick. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Looking good shame you went with toyo sports it will 100% crack and you'll be cursing it to the hills should have gotten a wepr set up much better in the long run.Cheers nick. Agreed a solution to that would welding a solid brace to the manifold Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mart1 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Send the Toyo sports back if you can, they have been known to crack within a first run out of fitting.Get a wepr mild steel Mani. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 ^^ as above send it back and if they dont refund you the stainless steel manifold exchange for a mild steel one. They last a bit longer. Braced my mild steel it was fine for 6 months Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Yeah them bloody toyosports why do they bother selling them, have had two on before brand new both lasted a month or two, before they cracked, they are ok for a temp solution but that's it sorry to say 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 That rolling gear..... want a set for mine but i cant keep a savings pot alive to ever have enough haha. Looks good though. Manifold should be fine if you have it braced. Quite hit and miss with them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
