Quick update. I managed to get the sensor flush into the hub but it is much shorter than the oem one I removed. The new sensor is a couple of inches off the abs ring. I assume that’s why it is still throwing up a warning light as the sensor magnet is too far off the sensor ring.

Aww man. Sorry to hear that. Seems like you had a nightmare to say the least. Dishonest sellers and Jap cars seem to go hand in hand these days. Did you get to the bottom of what caused it to die 2600ks later?

What went wrong with yours man, and how come it was so costly to rebuild?

I attacked it with an angle grinder in the end and tapped it out through the bottom opposed to pulling it out. Was seized in solid. The Yaris one I bought doesn’t sit flush as the oem one. So unsure whether or not it will throw another fault code. Will update further when I take her out for a spin.

Quick update. So I was fighting with the car trying to remove the abs sensor earlier. I have managed to wedge 80% of the the sensor out of the hub, but I cannot for the life of me remove it fully. I was thinking about maybe heating it up to try and remove it fully? Or does anyone else have...

I would be happy with anything between 280-300bhp at the flywheel, and better torque. So not chasing big bhp figures. A tuner over here recommended a hybrid td04 which he has seen good figures with on the 4e. So it will be a toss up between this hybrid below and a vf28 hybrid which I am able to...

lol damn. Oh well was worth a try. How did you find the vf28? I was thinking about running that or a td04 hybrid on a forged 5e setup

Thanks for the info guys. I knew I was kind of wishful thinking with wanting to my GT to sound like that. I am thinking about changing my TD04 and engine setup again, so wondered if a vf28 would produce such sounds.

I don’t know if the journal bearing hybrids sound like this or is it just the ball bearing/hybrid turbos?

Hey lads. Quick question for the techies in here. In the video above at 9mins 25secs onwards…Is that turbo whistle sound produced because the evo is running a ball bearing turbo? I think I’m having a id life crisis as I would love my GT to produce such sounds Lol. @gorganl2000 @dac69er @Jay...

Hey lads, Saw this before on the FB Starlet page. I know a few of you are always on the lookout for them.

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

Quick update. The sensor is well and truely seized in lol. The plastic snapped all around the sensor while I was attempting to get it out too in typical fashion. I cleaned the sensor from the underside as it was caked in crap, but aI’m going to buy a new one anyway. Can I just double check...

Thanks man. I had an idea that the Yaris one may fit. Agreed Jay. I don’t think they have been removed since 1994. How could I access the pick-up without removing the sensor?

Lol.. tell me about it. Do you know where I can get a new one from?
