You sell the ol' beast yet? I'm still after them lights!

I want to sell it but cant bring myself to do it lol .

For a really crude check just connect a hose from the boost piping or inlet manifold direct to the actuator. It will boost like ****** so be carefull and only go light throttle. That wil prove turbo can do it. Baically the boost from your inlet manifold/boost pipe will hold the actuator closed no m...

normally done with offsets rather than spacers

i am guessing but instead of +40 offsets i reckon they could be somewhere near 0 or even - offsets

not sure with n/a boxes
if that was a turbo box the hex bar running through the middle would mean it WAS lsd

as far as i know no-one in the uk has the facility to do anything with the blitz ecu either

Sad to say that the car has got to go

i will get some final piccys done as she stands now ,the volks have gone she now has some 17 inch black rota battles .

pic 1 advan rg
pic 2 rota

incorrect on the rg's the ones pictured ar 5 spoke rg's are 6 spoke

also agree with 1st ones being gram light 57f's


second ones i agree are the rota copies of funnily enough advan rg 2's

the hydraulic tensioner "should" be ok, it will need to be re-set by using a vice and a small allen key . i would change the pulleys as a matter of course water pump is normally suggested as its simple whilst the belt is off . very simple test for the pump when the belt is off is the pulle...

If you take any bits off before you sell let me come pick up those lights of yours!

no worries matey ,to be honest i recon it will be coming to bits to sell anyway

like jj says it makes no little to no odds what it says while driving along its under boost which counts mine for the record says around 35-40 on a hot day while cruising ,sometimes goes to 45 in traffic typically around 10 degrees above ambient im running a bosch pump and a radtech c/c also worth n...

Its on a home brew boot mount. 900x600x75mm by memory. My full spec is in projects. Cheers Marc, i'll pop over some time. How's yours now? mine has been running spot on for the last year but sadly i think it has to go :cry: would like to have pushed more than 1.3 bar to see what it would do but jus...

well done mate . finally a good result for all your hard work

awesome

if you fit the complete rev3 wiring loom from the engine and chassis all the way up to the passenger footwell it will work ok otherwise it is a headache repinning i converted my old rev 1 to run rev3 bits and it took some sussing out joining a rev3 engine loom to a rev1 chassis loom is even more of ...

you will need to split all 4 wheel bearings and replace them aswell as once pressed out they cannot be reused .

mine corroded and i just ripped them off

if you still have the 540cc injectors and stock toyota map sensor then it will be fine to use on base map ,Just don't go doing too much full boost business as the base map is a little fierce for uk fuel and you will get lots of knock

Ok my carbotechs have done over 5000 road miles and 3 hard trackdays and the pads still look like new as do the discs . Seriously i was not prepared for the difference between stock pads and carbotechs. I should also note that i have braided brake lines aswell and run 5.1 fluid Believe you me . I ha...

Yeh because stock discs are miles better in everyway than larger discs with better pads ](*,) Graeme I have to say that my stock discs with carbotech pads have withstood any and all the abuse i have thrown at them with no fade on 3 trackdays ,and with the abs fuse pulled will lock the brakes with e...
