I take it your car is not stored in your garage over the winter period?

I’ll bet you are itching to get in the car on Saturday.

Keep the updates coming in

Having just gone through this process I will chime in with a couple of recommendations of my own. First one is off a Toyota Cressida. Part number off this supplier is 422-65-8310, but this one is almost identical in every way to the factory Piazza. Same chassis, shaft size, mount holes, 70amp (-5amp...

Turbo back on and an oil and oil filter change later. I don’t travel many kms in a year but I hadn’t changed the oil and filter in a while. My oil of choice if anyone was interested 3ACBA5E7-76A1-4F38-8777-955417792FBB.png To maintain an IC engine properly regular oil changes are recommended despite...

Awesome pics mate. Quite a few there to digest with quality content. Thanks for that.

Thanks for the update. Would be nice to see some pics along with your write-up.

Turbo core rebuilt, fully carbonised cleaned, bench flow tested, and good to go. Like brand new. Throw in special Stage 8 bolts, now let’s see them loosen off this time you mother F.

Concerned, I pulled off the heat shield and found one of the 4 bolts attached to the turbine housing completely missing and another had almost fallen off it it wasn’t for the oil return fitting in its way. Still s...

You’ll have to show me some pics of your engine bay and any detail shots of hoses etc you’re annoyed with.

Happy to go through the engine bay mods. But before you begin, the key thing is to ensure your engine bay is clean from grease, dirt etc. with strong degreaser and high water pressure. High pressure water is not essential but handy if your engine has built-up grease and grime. I used normal water pr...

Nice mods so far and starting to look really good. Be sure to post some more pics along the way.

Thanks mate. Piazza engine bays aren’t the prettiest by a long shot with so much clutter of hoses, wires, and pollution gear etc that it makes it so hard to make them look half decent for shows. There’s still a little more work to do, but the many hours of hard work is starting to pay off. But I f m...

Engine bay is nearly to my acceptable standard. Made my own custom 2 part cold air box from aluminium sheet finished off in gloss black. Laser cut custom brushed SS plaque on the air box to tie in with plaque I had made for the intercooler plaque and matt black vinyl graphics to cap it off. I also p...
