Lovely looking mate. You should do the toyota on the rocker cover blue to breck up the white.

 

[rage]

might be a good idea will look into that!

And the lines on the rocker cover as well,will go well with the toyota writing.

Judging by what i see,guess you are going for a ct9/hybrid set up?

 

[rage]

bought a ct9b turbo, will be looking for a hybrid in the future but due to a shortage of funds i'll stick with a stock turbo for now
will be taking the car on auto-x events. will be driving 1st and second gear and lots of tight turns. so the responsivness of the ct9 will be best.
looking for the 200hp marker once the hybrid is in

Dude that is some awsome work there, i have been slowly been trying to clean my bay up with removing bits an moving bits and brackets...

Have seen someone rewire there loom an take out unessersery wires, you would not beleave how much come out...

Think if my engine went pop i would consider doing somink like this to it, i have the patience to do it to...

Hear is a pic to give ya an idea for ya rocker...

Will be following this thread...:rockon:

how did you mask the toyota letters? seems like a tricky job to do right

been bizzy with the car today, lots of little things


couple of more engine pics, fitted various extra parts. still all testfitting till i get all the gaskets etc to build the engine.

too the seats out of the car and the floormat to testfit the rollcage and to mark the points to drill

the sound insulation was falling apart underneath my seat, so i decided to remove all of it (25% done now)
this is what it looked like after the carpet came out

installed scaffolding

my replacement turbo had arrived (thx gav_kara!) the wastegate isn't even cracked

 

[Gav_Kara]

Nice build buddy and turbo looks a treat ha

 

[rage]

still working on the engine and car

doing a bit of headwork, the in and outlets have a few sharp edges and odd curves, been smoothing it out
still needs a pollish but the ruff work is done

also cleaning the pistons with a ultrasoon cleaner, takes a few hours per piston but it comes out squeeky clean.

also got a delivery from TMD today, all the rebuild parts

still waiting to get the crank balanced and once that is done i can start building the engine
