Replaced the Cambelt and tensioner on my Corolla GT,
also replaced the VVT pulley as it had the noisy tick.

Just need to clean the car up now and take some photo's ready to put it on TM.

Got the front windows of the Wish tinted. It'll never be as dark as the factory tinted ones in the back but it's pretty damn close

Earlier in the week got my radiator shortened by 75mm either side so i can run intercooler piping either side of it.
Today i welded up some radiator brackets to suit and got some new wheels.
Going to get some rubber mounts tomorrow so i can mount it up properly.

Sold the mighty EP Starlet

Now I just need to rid my driveway of this Sirion I'm trying to sell on behalf of my friend's father. It is a horrid little car. Just horrid.

Reinstalled a lot of parts, took some parts off my old shell and discovered my steering wheel is made of cheese.
Folded it in half trying to get the hub off the splines.

The forum autocorrects "scarIes" to "cheap chinese"

That is one great looking family car. Love the subtle mods youve done.

Cheers man. It's proven to be extremely practical for our young family during the weekends. Nice and safe too, with the power on tap. Puts a smile on my face, keeps the Mrs happy and the kids like it too, so a win-win all round :lol:

Took it for a hoon, which i'll do every month now to keep things ticking over.

Back in the hole

Also hooning and making the most of summer. Mostly on the bike since the car is still untuned for the new setup. Feels strong though. 2 years in my hands has just passed and I've done almost 50,000km.

Today I picked up a c160 lsd gearbox for the starlet :twisted:

Need to get some synchros fixed in it but the plan is to get a lightweight flywheel and new clutch before chucking it in

3rd/4th synchro? I need to get mine done on my c160 in the GT. Any ideas on where your going to go to get it done?

by **siren676** » Tue Dec 29, 2015 3:01 pm

On the test drive I only noticed 3rd gear. A mate has recommended a guy out west auckland.
Will call around when my bank account has recovered from buying the box :lol:

Test started the mx5 after work, seems i got everything around the right way.
