tooquicktostop Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 More pics! I am there tomorrow and will get some pictures, I think Dave has been so busy he has just cracked on with it. The second turbo did not look too bad once off, full of oil though The decat had a very very crude bung wedge in it as some kind of restrictor which was odd The driver side caliper was seized and disc was shot as a result Its fun doing them up though, although I have done 2k already !!

tooquicktostop Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Painting the engine bay? may aswell order that single kit if you are going this far. Has a small oil leak from a gearbox seal, Dave said the tubbies were a pig to get out in situ so pulled the engine as it will be easier to get the new stuff on I will paint the engine bay, clean up the engine and do valve stem seal while it's out The engine will also get whifbitz cam pulleys and polished intake etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob_Mitchell Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 does Dave still still drink the strong stuff?? if so you prob wont have another update till tuesday due to it being the weekend lol Great effort, its going to be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooquicktostop Posted January 14, 2012 Author Share Posted January 14, 2012 Been a hour or so with Dave this morning,its the first time I have seen the car so it was a bit of a look and see visit. Have a good idea on what I want to do now, and Dave is starting to receive the parts I have been buying over the last week Dave is going to give the engine a good work over the refresh and this is really the aim of the project, just to refresh the car and make it good and strong with full BPU power The engine will have the valve stem seals done, starter contacts, polished intake and throttle body with new gaskets, in fact we are changing a lot of gaskets and rusty nuts and bolts, there is a set of Whifbitz cam gears going in with a new cam belt New fluids all round including V160 gear oil and Titan fully synthetic engine oil The turbo pipes (I have a spare set now) will be cleaned and coated in black, the whole bay will be on a Black, Shiny and blue theme The new discs are on the way, Calipers will be refurbed and painted gold with Supra decals, the entire underneath will get a clean up The wheels will be fully refurbed with silk black inners and polished lip, the Allan key studs replaced, these are a nice fit for the car The new FMIC will have blue silicon so will keep this theme with silicone pipes to HKS BOV, the Whifbitz catch can is powdercoated in black and will have braided lines Still need a set of front seats, not sure on the style yet, I also fancy a set of polished/anodised pulleys and a TRD rear spoiler some pics from today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
