Thanks for the kind words everyone Phil really really liked that color, I hated it, so it went. Update in a few ticks. I've basically been without internet for ages and the project has slowed up a bit as i'm back at uni now.

dude wtf? Having driven neither but been out in an S14 i'd say that the 200 would be the choice bang-for-buck. but the celica is a far more interesting car for me.

Re: Mk1 172 Hybrid Track Car Project I don't blame ya, whiteley aint half tall! car looks brilliant as always Jord

awesome mate. Really glad this F4R conversion is prooving to be toruble free :D

how'd the car hold up then mate?

what management are you running? As I'm sure your aware, you'll get far better results if you just stump the £300 for a map on RR. It's nearly impossible to get good ignition mapping done on the road. good luck tho, sounds an awesome project

I disagree with that. The 1.2 N/A engine is not as strong as the TCE, and you said yourself that forged rods and pistons are not an off-the-shelf for the 1.2. Definitely go for the whole conversion if a 1.2 turbo is what you want. However, from what I've heard the management system is...

awesome man! Much better run around. I say F4R it, probably achieve better economy tbh. Such a jammy b@stard!

a 2871R !!!!!!!!!!!!!! are you looking to do some drag-strip times? What manifold are you going to run? Custom one?

panda 4x4, hero wagon :D

Theres one pedal missing. But I wouldn't drive it anyway. Just spend all day sniffing the seat.

liking the progress whiteley. The mag wheels (have you confirmed that yet?) are really nice.

yeah that's the lot. Put serious consideration into the stiffer Ktec mounts.

one of my main worries is the drivers headlight

ta :approve: She should be reet. :D It sit's lower than the standard F7P. Rain catcher has to go though. as for the inlet manifold, as said it's so much easier to route boost piping if it picks up on that side. The AGU 20v engine code is the only one that picks up from the left afaik, so that...

what a thread. Lovin the clear boost pipes.

Everyone loves a picture of a fat turbo. :cool: Also spent a little bit of the afternoon making a custom turbo actuator bracket using 2 bits of 3mm plate. It's been sprayed and the paint is drying, here it is before spraying. Before you ask, the original actuator bracket above won't work...

Cheers Dude, God I hope he has one.

So bit of progress then, Head porting was finished. Anyone doing this should note that it's much much easier if you keep the tungsten grinding bit oiled at all times. Then it doesen't clog. Matches the manifold well now. Spent ages lapping in the valves with coarse and fine grinding paste...

fuckin funny. Lol

To add to that, if you ever get the chance to drive a lambo or something on a driving experience day, you'll find the brakes on proper sports cars are far less servo'd

b-b-bling. Speedflow? ThinkAutomotive?

certinally sounds like a linkage issue to me.

yhpm

Thought about a custom one-off one? Speak to the guy who did mine (see my thread for a number).

I'd say you'd be mad to remove them. That's interesting what dan says about pressure releif valve springs. I assume you could pop a little shim under it also.

Seatbelt point strut brace is a neat idea.

My OEM K03 mani is crack free, but the turbo is cracking up a bit. It's one or t'other.

^^ as does CV grease splilling out of the CV boot. The job would be: Slacken Hub nut (lots of leverage) Jack and support and wheel off Steering track rod detatch Ball joint remove from hub Unbolt hub from shock and remove hub Sort driveshaft and re-assemble.

LoL, not now I've had a manifold made thanks mate :D
