fuel

Haha I've got a couple mates at repco tryna get me a job too.

I think there's a job going at Supercheap if you are keen haha.

dude.. bros before hoes... mates before dates...

What engine does that bad boy have? 1G-E?

Sell me your ewings cheap oi

Haha yeah.. am trying to sort something out. I really don't wanna cut the springs and find they are a mega cunt to get replacements for - brand new king springs are $420 a set and I'm having no luck finding second hand. Still.. at my standard ride height mine was still the same height and had the same wheel arch gap as Kerryn's

Done the oxy sensor? they seem to fuck out every couple of years on these things probably due to our fuel Take that back! Sorry... Stupid rusty toyotas! And yeh didn't think of the oxy sensor. Oh well her car she can sort it

Posted at the request of Chris

Haha weight reduction Oh well you plan on keeping them on I guess so no one will see the holes.

Yup mine's off a Starion too. Did you lengthen the front section? Did your Starion exhaust have the middle muffler in the same place? If so was it fine to keep in same place for the Sapporo? On that front section, was yours straight as like mine or did it have a kink in it?

Yeah that's what Chris said to do too. It clears around the fuel tank and diff/suspension arm fine it's just that main length which is an issue. That centre muffler seems to have enough room but it wouldn't hurt to move it further up.

Something like that It's my flatmates and we've tried to sort out the running richness. We've changed plugs, oil+filter, air filter, swapped over known good AFM, injectors, ECU etc - at idle the mixtures seem to be bang on, it just richens up hard out at high revs. Stupid toyotas My V6 Mitsi with twice the power uses less fuel than that thing and mine's a bigger heavier car.

Wow nice dude, so glad they finally got on there. Makes it look so much nicer. Just needa paintstrip/polish those wheels haha

So I was hoping the exhaust would fit straight up - nope. It's about 20~30cm shorter and needs a few more bends/kinks added. Some pics of the afternoon's mission (big ups to Chris who transported the exhaust down and helped me fit it! ) Out with the old: Getting it under there and lining things up: About that time we discovered it wasn't going to fit haha, here's why: Oh well.. off to the exhaust shop sometime next week to sort something out.

Yeah I'm afraid there's nothing we can do eh. We don't sell the keys seperately as its a security issue - anyone can come along and buy the keys and unlock people lock nuts. Best to take the car to a wheel shop, they get customers who come in daily who don't have their locknut keys and they get them off.

Hey dude, we only do complete sets of four locknuts for about $26. We can't get replacement single locknuts or a replacement key for security reasons. Have you lost a locknut or lost the key? -Phil

Hahah as soon as you bring it down bruddah.

Mean. I should go stalk it and tax some parts

Small update: Bought a boost guage and installed it - only running 5~6psi. Replaced dizzy cap, rotor, leads, spark plugs and gave it an oil/filter change along with replacing some vacuum lines. Seems to have made it run a bit more smoother with some more power but still not enough. Bought a complete set of tie rod ends (inner + outer), pitman arm and idler arm ready to be fitted when I have time - hopefully this should sort out the small amount of play it has in the steering. Got me a VR-4 intercooler and some assorted piping - just need to find a Starion TBI and a buy Eliot's TD05 turbo and all that will go on. Still searching for lowering springs and some badass wheels to suit it. Will get some new front shocks and suspension bushes all round too. 3" mandrel bent exhaust should be here on the weekend, hopefully will get that fitted up soon.

Dude I know where a disc brake rear diff is for your wags. Can probably get it quite cheap too.

If they are both SOHC 8V then yes. The SOHC 8V, SOHC 16V and DOHC 16V each have different exhaust manifolds.

Yeah I was keenish boe - you still got the 12b eh? I just wasn't going to get it right away until I got my cooler + piping etc as I couldn't afford it all at once

Haha does that mean you wont be sellin that TD05 to me then boe?

So I cleaned out the inside a bit and took some more photos. I found some rust in the boot and underneath the mudflaps on the front guards - but oh well it's fixable.

Sweet definitely will do that on Tuesday or Wednesday Got me a VR-4 intercooler and some piping sorted out too.
