pongaroa sounds like a great drive.

Apiti Tavern is supposed to be pretty sweet too.

I believe you can add up to 3 inches.

Not much happening, Recently i made up dual stainless tips for it.

New Wheels on the front.

Today went for a old school cruise out to Pohangina valley Pub

Sweet day out!

Few dodgy photos by me and a sweet one by Guy Williams.

Looking good. i would definitely recommend traction brackets ASAP.

Putting traction brackets on mine helped so much i couldn't believe it.

Before it felt underpowered. Now it is well past having traction and lets loose very easily.

With T1R's

I need a lsd now.

Will be there. Toddles may be along riding shotgun.

best to ask your certifier who they recommend for crack testing, and make sure they are certified to do it.

I used a guy at Fieldair in Palmerston North. And he is the only certified local, i could find. Was only $40 though i think.

Brought these from Yahoo Auctions Japan arrived a month or so ago.

Where supposed to be 4x 14x7.5" but 2x are 14x7 -1

Started stripping the paint on the two 7.5's

And Boom, much nicer.

Also picked up this TRD flywheel thanks to CaMpylobacter and Henry.

50% lighter than the factory dual mass piece.

will see if i can get a wof and new wheels on before then. or it may have to be the soarer's turn.

Looking good. Your Manawatu aye? Jimmy Thompson at City auto painters is the cheapest, easiest and best around for when you get to that stage. And if you can't do it yourself.

6.9kg sounds about right. Factory dual mass is about 12-13kg without the clutch!!

sounds great!

cheers.

That sounds amazing. Cheers!

Had a chat with Techno Toy Tuning last week.

Ended up with these beautiful stainless spacers for the Corolla's 4-link rod ends.

The idea was to try and get rid of some of the irritating rattles coming from my current aluminium spacers.

Got them installed, back down on the ground and went for a drive.

But she now had an epic squeak coming from somewhere underneath. ARRGH

Turns out I had done them up to tight.

Loosened them of, and it seems to be great now.

In other news

My Overalls have arrived. Ready for if i make it to a track day one day!

Up next; Sound deadening? Lightweight single piece flywheel?? Locker???

looking good! was good to see this at the last meet.

do you still have the black bucket seats? would be keen to have a look at them some time

Brought and installed a pair of Max traction brackets.

lower arms are nice and parallel now.

and some NGK iridium now installed.

boring huh. Also definitely needs a lsd or locker.

Last time I checked the 195/45/14 wasn't listed on any of toyo's international websites. Hopefully they are just slowing down production. Not stopping it.

Hey. They are the 195/45/14 toyo's

14 inch tyres are going to be a bit of a nightmare in the decent future I feel. As from what I can tell most companies including toyo have stopped making low profile 14's.

Today I did a bit of reshaping on the front spoiler.

It looks much better now. Just not sure im sold on how it looks on the car.

And its a bit dodgy exiting the driveway.

Thought it was you.

He had to cut the corners though. Haha

loooong time no update. Went back to the above location with the dslr.

Got the following result

Not much else has changed, wheels are 14x7j +12 Front & 0p Rear

Had to "daily" this for a couple of weeks, is a bit noisy.

Still just the TS-X8 in the back for music, and seem to be going pretty good.

not sure if i should hunt out some 6" vintage pioneer for the front doors, or go new school.

Oh and made a whooping 110kw on the last dyno run, bit better than previous 95kw at the wheels.

Definitely quick enough & a handful when i want it to be.

i have a 1991 1uzfe soarer that is doing some strange sh*t, just wondering if somebody on here can offer something we haven't thought of/looked at.

when i got it, the Idle control valve was stuck open. so the fresh air line to it, was blocked off.

This meant it was dificuilt to start/drive when cold, as it wouldnt hold any revs.

I brought some bearings and rebuilt it. 

it took a while to set it back up again after rebuilding it (not to open, not to closed)

but i was pretty sure i had it sorted last night, idling around 600 while warm.

Started this morning first go, idling around 600, so was happy with that as it was a rather chilly morning.

At 12 i drove to get some lunch on the other side of town. still going sweet.

Started at 3.30 to go home (it was bloody hot outside now.) and it was up around 1500RPM

by time i had got a few blocks it hadn't changed. and if it was put into park or neutral would bounce between 1500 & 2000RPM ( i read that this is because it cuts the fuel at 2000).

Got to my parents place out of town, and pulled the IACV off, and it was WAY open. More open than it should ever have to move.

cant see how it could have opened so much between parking it after lunch and as i started it at 3.30pm.

so if you could be bothered reading all that, and have some insight or ideas. im happy to hear them.

Im thinking maybe the temp sensor is bung. or its something in the ecu. but hope it isnt.

Cheers

I have to drive to hamilton that Sunday for work so won't be able to make it
