Evil_Nuts Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Sorry it's not clean guys, In the 3 months I've had her i have: Replaced H/gasket Replaced Water pump and themostat Purchased and bought new b oost controller solenoid Replace J spec shockers with Bilsteins S/F new Toyota oil filter and oil (twice) Flushed out heater matrix Fitted new rota wheels (act of chav, got run off road), thanks to Paul@whifbitz Fitted new Green Air filter S/F new front main seal and cambelt (after i did the head too......do'h) S/F lockless passenger handle S/F new battery (found a good battery in the warranty bin at work) Bought some cleaning stuff, interior etc. Next week the rear arches are being rolled and hopefully the HIDS and new headunit will come so i can fit them too. Also may have a cooling panel too, then as soon as the wheels don't catch, a fast road set up on the suspension is in order. Also need a chip repairing in the front screen....... Some other things I plan to do are: Uprate the fuel pump (Walbro) Fit new coil pack conectors. Valve stem seals (I know i should of done them with head off, but time was tight), not smoking too bad, just one puff on start up! Sort out the play in drivers seat back... Front Strut brace Coilovers (in time, may start to collect new rear arms first) I fancy some big brakes too. Really want a UK bonnet and a standard bumper with carbon lip. My plan is to run the car in its BPU state while progressively, upgrading and maintaining. Hopefully in the future year i will start to think about collecting stuff for a HKS TT upgrade or a single build. Any comments, advice and criticism taken on board, cheers! Chris!

JamesC Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 I like the wheels And remember, tyre shine is a winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 looks really good mate I know how hard it is to keep a black looking its best. IMO if you don't already have it is to get some tyre wall black from which ever manufacturer you prefer it will complete the car !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Looks great bud, I love black cars with black wheels I think you're spot on with a standard bumper and carbon lip too, that'll make a big difference. You've been busy the past three months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Car looks good buddy...def agree with your planned aesthetic changes! Stock bumper with carbon lip always looks great. If your going to change things in that direction though I'd consider changing the side skirts, but thats just my opinion! Keep us updated with pics as you go!

Kirk Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Want my opinion dude... forget the walbro and get something decent like a denso pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Nuts Posted November 21, 2010 Author Share Posted November 21, 2010 the black on black looks great Thanks, i was a bit unsure but they suit it really well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 And why might that be dude??? Cause the denso pump is much better than a walbro but then again you need to modify the hanger to fit or get a UK spec hanger. Im also a snob and dont believe in the cheap option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im also a snob and dont believe in the cheap option I do believe i'll be able to to find a hanger somehow..........is the Denso fitted to UK's as standard??
