Just a quick message to say thanks to PaulM,
I fitted the chassis brace he fabbed up for me to the car this afternoon. It went pretty smoothly, I just had to open up the 4 outer holes a little.

I just need to finish the car now so I can give it a test   s8) 8) s8)  

Tomorrow should see the exhaust system finally finished and the car back down on its wheels.

A pic of the chassis brace made by paulm, really pleased with it.   s8) 8) s8)  



Today I bled the brakes and got the TTE antiroll bars & Twosrus links fitted. The standard links are a proper pain in the a*** to remove!

Watching this thread with a great deal of interest. Not planning it myself but i wish you all the best with it.

I dont suppose you have the part number for the front and rear TTE roll bars?

There is a number on the bar itself, is that what you want?

If not, I cant help you, they were purchased a while ago on ebay. (paragon toyota I think)

Apologies for thread drift.

Pete, don't forget the Che ARB's that you can also buy on eBay from Deluboz Parts. I picked up a set off him in an eBay sale moment, £122 + £50 fedex from US, arrived in a week!


[size=85]The famous Walter Rohrl once said "Stay away from rear-wheel-drive cars unless.......", I had to agree on one particular occasion, but we did live happily ever after (apart from the trousers, they were a write off).

Thank you. I'll have a look into them

I'll PM you, so to keep the thread on topic.

As mentioned in the other thread the engine is now running, its not on the road yet though as it still needs an MOT.
A quick pic of the engine bay as it looks today.



There are still a few little jobs to do like wrap the loom and tidy things up a bit but its nearly there now.

A little update, after getting the engine running I have decided to get all the planned upgrades out of the way to save me having to get the car mapped twice. I took the short engine down to Tim @ TB developments yesterday for a forged rebuild. They are also sorting me out with what I hope will be a rather tasty turbo upgrade with custom downpipe too   s8) 8) s8)  Should have some nice pics to post in a few weeks   s:mrgreen: :mrgreen: s:mrgreen:  

Not looking so tidy now:

Doorbell rang before 8 this morning and after a world record time for getting dressed and with half my clothes on backwards I received this little package of goodies.
Looks like some good quality kit too.

Yeah, i got pretty fed up with the whole car modding thing for quite a while but I am pretty keen to see it back on the road now.

Actually you are probably the best person to ask, how do you go about updating the engine details to the dvla now? I have read that I need a headed letter from a garage to confirm the engine details. I didnt have any of this bother when I did the mk1 engine swap, just sent the v5 back with the new cc and serial number.

Don't they need to be inspected now at your local dvla office?

Exactly what i did. Unless the law has changed since, I'm not sure.

I bet more than anything you can't wait to finally drive the thing!!

I have done a bit more reading and the process has indeed changed. I now need a letter on headed paper from a garage confirming the cc and engine no. Hopefully not too big a problem.

On a more positive note, more toys arrrived today:

Received a pic last night of the custom turbo install being done for me by Tim @TB Developments. He has had to plumb the wastegate like this to make sure it clears the overhang in the engine bay where the softtop sits. Hope the dimensions I gave him were acurate!   s:D :D s:D  



He is still waiting on a few parts for the engine rebuild but hopefully I will have all the kit back here to re-install soon.   s8) 8) s8)

Yeah, looks like he has done a top job for me, in case anyone is wondering, the part under the wastegate tube is a mocal sandwich plate to relocate the oil filter. That will make oil changes much easier.

I have had a couple of PM's regarding my wiring recently and after a little digging through my archives I have found some diagrams that I created. Hopefully they will be of use to someone. Note that you use this info at your own risk, I cannot guarantee they are free from mistakes, so please do your own research to back it up!

iam guessing the diagram you posted is to make the tempt, oil, and alternator light work with stock ecu. It still needs power feeds,ignition feeds and earths. right?
