Don't like the red colour for them unless there is somthin else to colour code with them if ya know what I mean They look very outta place paint them black again or colour code them with somthin else around the front of the car!!

The real question is then, That is a double pulley but is it all one piece or can I just remove the pulley in question without having to take off the other pulley??

Hi folks, I was hoping someone could clear this up for me that has fitted a TTE s/c kit or can remember theirs being fitted! I want to know if the pulley that "pulls"(turns) the belt that then turns the s/c is part of the car or the part of the s/c kit??? The pulley I am talking about is the one that is on the engine(main pulley, think it is on the crank shaft?) Does this pulley belong to the car or does it come as part of the TTE kit for the s/c??? Help is mucho appreciated!!

That first white one is hideous I like the second white one though! :D And Gords motor is even better looking in the flesh and sounds real nice too!!

300bhp sounds nice!! I think that would bepushing the standard internals a bit too far so I take it you are upgrading them! I was thinking along the lines of Dave-prolex about getting forged pistons and rods from the old supra that uses the same engine block, can't remember the proper engine name I bet it would be a damn sight cheaper than buying them new from someplace!!

Peco or blue flame exhausts are smaller but they are still shiny! you could always sand the tip to dull it or somthin!

Not quite so as diesel is already dearer than petrol and the petrol prices are set to come down whereas diesel prices will remain the same! I think you could see the fleet/company vehicles maybe switching to petrol!!!

Thats some nice driving. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Now I must see when me car will be finished!!! :D

How many times can you vote on that???

That would be funny :D I tried to watch the ring 2 the other nite and I ended up falling asleep cos it was Another stupid sequal!!

Hey man you know I'll be wantin some of this at a later date so I'll also be interested to hear about the prices!! :D

I thought it was somthin to do with that!! :D You can tell from the wheels in the arches that it isn't as low as it seems!! Looks cool though!!

I am going to be running .6bar of boost because I am still using standard internals! I was wondering how you had not done the fuel line upgrade and still got the turbo on but I assume that your standard fuel system maxes out at 230bhp???

Yeah I got a cat re-placement pipe made up with two flanges so I can pop the cat in and out for MOT. The only other restricting factor about taking all the cats out is that There is some sort of warning light that apparently shows on the dash when you do it! I will not need to wory about this as I am replacing the standard ECU altogether so there will be no lights!! :D Quick question for you turbo guys!! When doing the fuel return line- did you put the regulator before or after the fuel rail and why??? We are having a little debate over this as some think it is better to put it before the rail but some think it is better to put it after the rail so the pressure is always in the rail!!!!

Get the two front windows tinted to match the rear!! Then go to the bank and get a loan cos you prob be finding loads of stuff you want!!lol

The standard bumper with the front lip will be going on temporarily until I can get a new one!! I was gonna cut out a section of the bumper similar to your own but I decided to just wait and then get my hands on a c-one front bumper from Lextasy!! I haven't seen a better looking bumper than the c-one yet IMO. :) Dave- we will be making up a brace that will do the job of the crash bar!!

Hey what about going for a turbo!! much better :D joking!!!

money to burn!! It is different though!

The manifold and turbo are the same as Daves (from the states), all intercooler piping was custom made, oil lines were custom made and the exhaust was custom made! Dave- didn't have room for the crash bar with the intercooler being so big but I'm not intending to crash anyway!!! lol Hoping to put out between 260/280bhp!!!

Won't be doing the internals just yet as the cash flow will have to return to normal first after I pay for the turbo! I am hoping to upgrade the internals at a later date though! It's just .6bar of boost for now then!! The anti-lag should be no prob as it won't be using "vicious" anti-lag. The vicious anti-lag can make your car tick over at over 1bar of boost but my system will be set up to be very gentle on the turbo. :D

post edited for piccies!

Heres a few pics attached of the turbo conversion on my motor! Intercooler is fitted, all intercooler pipe work is finished, full custom stainles exhaust is done with all cats taken out and a prolex kazama to top it off!! :D I also did the jdm headlight conversion (painted them black) and the fogs are done too! The oil lines to the turbo are done. still have to remove the sump to fit the oil return! I have recieved my uprated fuel pump and regulator and the return fuel line is being done on monday! Then the car will be treated to a nice new wiring loom from the Autronic SM4 ECU next week and mapped to precision :P The ECU will incorporate launch control, traction control, anti-lag and it was gonna control the NOS but I am selling the NOS kit now as I have no need for it!! I will keep the thread updated when more gets done!! Can't bloody wait

I think i am missing somthin here???? :duh: What possible difference could the snow button make to reversing your car??? Is that not what the clutch is for?? The same goes for traffic! you are still gonna have to use the clutch in either situation unless there is somthin about this snow control that I don't know about!!!

That can't all be as simple as it is made out to be!!! Prob a bit of word twisting by whoever figured it out!! Still though, it is a bit strange!!!

Yeah I seen that too it does look nice but I'm not fussed on the wheels!! . . . . . But oh oh......... that bumper!! Thats the C1 bumper that I want!! Only people who I have seen that do it is Lextasy in America and they are supposed to have a bad rep for delivering outside the states!! Anybody know where I can get it???
