Karllos Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 Awesome car! I remember seeing this at SCS a while back and seing a total black engine bay thinking to myself wtf is in that, then i noticed the rotor :) Told my mate and he said bull shit *walks over has a look* no shit huh lol Are u entering Toyoshow at all? Karl. Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Posted February 16, 2010 Cheers Karl, cars come a LONG way since SCS. Def not what people expect to see in the engine bay. Not really interested in car shows, might enter the dyno comp tho. Today i refitted the water pump, alt and set-up my water spray set-up. Need to fit some heat proofing around my turbo oil drain then i can bolt the radiator and hoses back in. Oil feed had been dropped off to Leroy at BTR for him to make me a new braided line, once thats back it will be running again Also measured and marked out the front strip all ready to cut so it fits in with the intercooler. Started working on the sparco seat mounts too, can see there going to be a pain haha Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Posted February 18, 2010 car needs coolant and then its ready to go :hmm: backets for the sparco are all done, seat fits in very nicely. Def holds you in snug, especially with the harness. Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Posted February 19, 2010 Less chat, more pics :y: I know i know, ive lost the cable for my phone and can't seem to find a replacement :hmm: Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted March 1, 2010 Author Report Posted March 1, 2010 drove the car out to uni today, its running perfectly :blinks: cooler weather+water spray seem to have made a decent performance improvement. Really didnt hav enough space to "test" it out properly tho Quote
SLO-030 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 haha "testing". Sounds good Ryan. water spray = 500,000rwkW? Quote
Raven Posted March 1, 2010 Report Posted March 1, 2010 I'm still awaiting a ride in this thing :lolcry: Swing past work and let me have a look at what you've done :blinks: Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Posted March 2, 2010 I'm still awaiting a ride in this thing :lolcry: Swing past work and let me have a look at what you've done :blinks: DONE! lol Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Posted March 2, 2010 about time i got some pics up so i took some new one today. ENJOY! Current engine bay pics: new turbo set-up with turbo beanie, braided turbo oil feed, CF CAS cover, water spray bottle, radiator shroud rotor shape valve caps sparco seat, mounted to stock rails. Cage and new rear parcel shelf external gate and screamer pipe, excuse the mess havent had a change to clean it up since fixing my coolant leak :blinks: g/box crossmember modified to raise exhaust and some exterior shots for good measure, venetian seems to hide the cage quite well :lolcry: only a keen eye will spot the front mount intercooler and front mount oil cooler Quote
13BT_KE20 Posted March 2, 2010 Author Report Posted March 2, 2010 Yeah....nice exit too haha! haha cheers glad you liked it, didnt actually get to open it right up..... just not enough space Next on the to do list: coilover front end with 8kg front springs BIG front brakes bigger front swaybar new (wider) front tyres new rear tyres lol either restore the front lenses or buy new ones if I'm not happy with how they come up Quote
SLO-030 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 How's the tramp with those springs? getting worse? or no traction at all? :blinks: Quote
LukeAE71 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 Nice Who did your cage for you? And you're right the venetian hides it oh so well :blinks: Quote
smeetsy1 Posted March 2, 2010 Report Posted March 2, 2010 pretty amazing stuff... such a boring yet exciting car! Quote
