morning all.

James - helping Nick with his airpod today and also getting started on the Toyota Sera.  Seeya later @ 6pm @ crazy old man's place :D

yeah about that, I've got a manual for the immobileser in that sera let me know if you need it. There are quite a lot of things that can be changed on that particular system. Also tell him to get another button thingy because if he loses both of those and he dosen't have the codes it will be a pain in the ass to fix.

Might have to meet you up where we're getting something to eat about 30 mins later, on account that my dad's getting that new car that I was talking up the other week, :) today. And I need to see it.

YEEEEHAAA!

Well could not take it anymore, rang up Gav and...............

Replaced control arm

Replaced rack end

Replaced castor rod bushes

There is a bit of a problem with the left side camber which they are going to fiddle with the crossmember to fix and get the alignment fixed and hey presto!

I might have my beast back tommorrow, YEEEE HAW! Gotta love Gav, so good to have such a great mechanic, never had one that is so good!

I AM SO HAPPY! woo hoo!!

yeah.. least it won't cost you the earth. May even handle better than before as that stuff tends to wear over time as well.

Yeah.. get a full exhaust.. buy an off-the-shelf jap and fit yourself, what you save on labour you can go full system.

What do you think about this trust one, going to ask if he'll do it for ~$500 inc postage, dont think he'll do it though....... But what am I looking for when I buy an exaust?

looks ok.. don't forget postage costs will be steep on an exhaust.

Just looking for rust and holes i guess.

hmmm.. looks loud.. no 2ndary muffler in there. Just the resonator. Depends what you want -- and whether the cops hassle you or not :)

Well that will be the only think that will be a cop attractor, so I guess I can live with having one thing, wouldnt want too much more attracting unwanted attraction. I just want to get that and then eventually getting the turbo to cat and high flow cat.

    • 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 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
