LOL! Can't say I've ever heard of Panda Spec!

LOL!

Yeah man, Panda Spec, made famous by the Japanese anime Initial D, black and white coloured Toyota Carolla AE 86 Trueno.

Interesting concept. Not my cup of tea, but would stand out that's for sure...

Mate, if you going to do this, make sure you have a consistent pattern in mind, i.e. go black boot, black roof and black bonnet. However, you'd have to obviously repaint your roof and rear boot.

Will cost a bit of cash and time. Good luck, I'd be interested in seeing your pictures.

The phrase panda car refers to a small or medium-sized police car operated by British police forces. They are used for ordinary patrol work, with larger and more powerful vehicles being used for emergency response, Road Policing Unit duties and as Armed Response Vehicles

History of the term

Panda cars were named after pandas because they were originally painted with large panels of black and white, or blue (usually light blue) and white.

The first use of Panda cars seems to have been in Lancashire Constabulary area in about 1965, the Chief Constable described the use of blue and white Ford Anglia Panda cars in Kirkby in an article in The Times on 26 January 1966. These were blue with a white line painted around them. In 1967, the Dunbartonshire force bought two Hillman Imps (subsequently nicknamed "Pinky" and "Perky") for escort duties on the A82 road; one blue and one white. The boot lids, bonnets and doors were then swapped to create a panda car style scheme.

^^^ That is where the expression " panda car" comes from. Pre-dates initial D by a more than a little bit.

I don't mind the "Panda" look, although most people will think you've had an accident and can't afford paint.

Your initial description of what you want sounds more 2-tone than panda, could look neat I think.

Yeah for sure man!

LOL! Yeah if ppl are not familiar with the whole "Panda" Spec, they ask why is your car all different colours.

This looks nice and neat.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt
