Project Toretto.

Oh ive earned my rank then! Need a toa sticker to hide the shit paintwork lol.
My advans are 9.5 rear just the rubber isnt lol. ordering some 255's to keep the arse in check.

haha, easily

damn it,... that sale fell through lol

taht should help, good quality rubber always helps too

this has been the most frustrating yet rewarding build i've done.
Dont think i wish to do it again however, though maybe another project after this involving an evo me thinks, gonna enjoy the rx for a bit first though. Bloody deserved it!

Excellent news dude! So chuffed for you!

All insured and ready to rock now, 70£ a month for a ballistic missile, not bad, got recovery on that to just in case.
Taking it to torqueflow to have a silencer fitted as currently its just downpipe to back box and that back box has nooooo effect on keeping the angry bee quiet what so ever.
Flames like a pyromaniac.

Off to fill the tank up with shells finest then im taking it to work to drool over.

Well i'ts been to work, blown enough blue smoke up the roads to make anything behind me vanish but on the way home there was far less, need to redo the coolant as the ratio was wrong and needs to be 70% coolant to 30 water, not the other way round, oh and i need a new turbo control solenoid as the one i bodged on....melted on the drive way.

Did the ol bonnet mod to as it gets a tad toasty under that hood.






And this is why it smokes like the Jamaican Olympic dope smoking team.

omg im in love

looks amazing!!!! better than i thought.

gl with finishing it off.

btw well done, amazing progress...

The pictures dont show the imperfections really but yea, With a little okay a hell of alot of reading, tinkering, spannering, swearing and other then a few upgrades only costing me £50. Not bad.

once i get the new turbo solenoid hooked in and the zorst STFU i'll deffo put a vid up.

sweet,

just noticed i reckon maybe get some spacers for the rear wheels for a more flush fit? just a thought??

yea i thought about spacers to, going to pick some up from work.
ordered some cobra side mounts for the cobra suzuka S bucket seat, installed the harness ready for it and im picking up some replacement turbo control bits.
gonna be a busy couple of days!

sweet

will be totally worth it though

Just finished for the night, new solenoids in place, replaced a bunch of crap vac pipes, measure up the fmic piping and inlet pipes ready for replacing tomorrow.
hoping my seat frames arrive early so i dont pull a late one at torqueflow.

was tempted to fire the car up just now but i'll put a vid on fo' sure this time and you'd understand why i didnt!

love the seat(s), ur makin me want a rex now

my god Chris, your actully making a car I would love to own

Loving the feedback, my ego's gonna have to go in the boot at this rate.
Side mounts for the seat just arrived so im going to get that fitted and its off to torqueflow to make new pipes that dont blow off at 4psi.

yea man thats so cool it makes ya wanna slap ya momma lol oh n make with the vids already ya know what im like with a car being stupidly loud hahaha

Well we had to leave the car at the unit as we ran out of 6" 305 steel for the silencer.
Going back early in the morning to finish it then im at work for a bit then its home for a wash n wax before its filled up with shells finest, had a check over so im not having to call the rac out sometime soon then its off to JAE!

alrite mate just thought i would let you know that i worked at wgt autodevelopments for 2 years and if you have any questions or owt i mite no the answer.

and i like your car alot btw the wheels a sexy

Cheers, i'll keep that in mind.
Had some spare time today so i got busy on the car this afternoon.
New hks filters in place and bolted down.



Relocated battery to the boot.


Powered by Mountain Dew


Tomorrow I shall be installing new intercooler pipes and mounting that bugger at a jaunty angle!

2 hks's you greddy barstuard! dude where you get the mountain dew from?

Yea i'ts greddy for a puny 1300cc LOL.
I get my dew from www.Americansoda.co.uk and there cheaper then most places i've found.

Been busy again, new belts, moved the battery back into the engine bay after starting problems and currently re-fabbing sidemounts for the seat so i sit 3 inches lower and 2 back.
After that the rear coilovers are comming off to be refurbed.

still working hard, this car is coming along nicely

whats the susp on it?

Ohlins Sweden fixed height system with adjustable bound/rebound and camber control. The bill for them is just a touch over 2grand!

Im contemplating about removing the rear seats and making a box for something or saving up and hunting down the rear box's that mazda did instead of the pointless leather covered cup holders they call seats.
Oh and fixed my broken headlight yesterday and learnt how to weld plastic with molten black cable ties .

Running wise it no longer overheads, boils the water or takes a piss when stood still,
The rad cap on the bleed system was totally the wrong type so shoved a proper one in place and all is good, system temps are down to the low 80's peaking to 92c before the fans chirp in. I've alse wired the air con switch so if the fans are not blowing in the cabin and i turn air con on, the fans spin at there mid speed setting on the radiator.

Today the seat is going in and im tinkering with the actuator rods as the one that controls turbo 2 is being a bitch and only letting it spool to 5psi and not 11 like i want!
