Stick some pics up, would be good to see your hard Work. Plus I'm looking at doing some bits on mine so think would give me some encouragement. :thumleft: Will get some pics up soon just got a few more bits to finish of painting. Put a pic of the strut brace in my garage pics not fitted but gives u...

Thanks for all the advice iv decided to follow your advice and got myself some foliatec for the engine parts and so far looks awesome very happy with the end results. As for the x strut brace I went with basic spraying as it doesn't get as hot as bits on the engine so far has held up to the heat aft...

Brilliant thanks for the advice.

I want to paint some of the brackets, hard pipes and rocker cover to match car colour and was wondering what's best method ie. powder coating, spraying ect ect also if I remove top strut brace to paint/powder coat can I still use car with it removed or will the bolt holes move a bit and il never get...

Hi all I no this has probably been covered many many times but here goes anyway. Iv got a rev1 n/a import with a rev 1 turbo engine fitted all standard except for induction kit fitted and metal head gasket too, am planning on upping boost to 1 bar/14.5 psi via manual boost controller and as far as I...

Got a few questions guys What mm of hose is used for a boost gauge ?? Also what length of vac hose is needed to dash mount one ?? And finally I have seen front an rear drop links on eBay for £30 has anyone here used the eBay drop links ?? The diameter of hose usually depends on the gauge you've bou...

Sure - swapping in a 160mph dial will work perfectly. You can reset the odometer to match your car and it'll count in miles not KM from then on. You can mix and match the dials, BTW. It's pretty easy to disassemble the clusters, remove the 160mph speedo from the NA cluster, pop it in the turbo clus...

What's the motivation to swap the cluster? The 110mph speedo? Cos swapping to a turbo cluster won't change that - 180kph speedo is the same thing as a 110mph one. Being a rev1, your speedo is cable driven and thus the new speedo must also be cable driven. To convert to a 180mph speedo you will need...

I'm planning on either swapping my instrument cluster this weekend or simply upgrading the bulbs in existing cluster for led's. the cluster in there at the moment is the N/A set which goes up to 110mph and I have a turbo set to go in but not having done this before am a bit hesitant is it simple swa...

Been reading a lot of horror stories about rev1/2 mk2's not being able to handle having an aftermarket BOV dump to atmosphere fitted as it messes with the AFM and causes over fuelling just wondering is this true and should I stick with standard BOV or risk it for a biscuit and fit aftermarket one. P...

I'm going to presume you mean 0.5/0.7 bar not psi, if so, and your car is stock, that's normal. The car runs lower (but actuator pressure) boost in first 2 gears, then iirc, 3rd onwards has an inbuilt boost controller which allows it to run higher boost (doing it this way allows the car to revert b...

Basicly i fitted an aftermarket mechanical boost gauge today and got it all wired in correctly properly grounded and live is on a switched source too. I have T'd off the pipe leading into the inlet manifold on the left hand side of IM as standing at rear of car. So my query is that when the car is i...

As title sugests was just wondering wheres the best place to tap off when fitting a boost gauge? Needs to be a switched place so gauge comes on when car turns on dont really want to be messing with ignition preferably so was thinking about the clock? Any other sugstions welcome.

Thanks il get in touch with toyota and hopfully get it fixed this weekend.

Just seen the leaky pipe its not the long metal coolant pipes that run down the length of the car its a small metal pipe just above the fuel tank think it goes to heater matrix or something. Went for a 5 min test drive and temp gauge was just under red so leaking quite quickly wen under pressure, id...

What sort of price range am I looking at for the part and would you recommend doing it myself or let the garage do it.im no mechanic but fairly handy with a tool set.

As far a I no its the coolant pipe as he said its the long metal pipe that runs down the length of the car and is obstructed by the fuel tank.
