So this is my toyota starlet from 1996 with a 4efte conversion with megasquirt ECU, TD40 turbo running 0.7 bar and 174 hp. :) Firstly pictures with new wheels mounted
And one with the old wheels..
The car has been modified so you can't see it's got a turbo engine mounted, even when you open the bonnet the original air filter is still in it's place, but with black pipes from the FMIC mounted behind the original air filter so you will have to go close up before you can see it's turbocharged. And the rear muffler kind of looks like the standard one, just a little larger and makes a great noise, not too loud either :) will post pictures tomorrow of the engine bay if people are interested :)
Pics of machine ;)
I need a bigger drive! :lol:

OK, here is my attempt at Supercharging a Stock Australian Ford Falcon BA 4.0.
The only things I didn't have to change was the intake manifold & Blower.
Originally it came as a one-off Kit (but it was only half finished & didn't fit).
So, everything bar the intake manifold/runners had to be re-designed & remade or re-machined.
It cost me a Bloody fortune (at least twice as much as the original planed outlay).
this is a picture of my baby it is a 1977 firebird running a 454 big block corvette engine pushing out 675hp at the wheels does about 8mpg on a good day and 2mpg if i am racing it it has a th400 auto box and will do a 10sec 1/4 mile

Hi .
New to the site but loved the artical.
Iam in the throws of rebuilding a AUM engine to go in my 150 TT. I intend to up grade it futher, as the engine in the car at the moment has already been re-mapped. Great result from the re-map, but like most of us I want more, so now have a second AUM enginesitting on the bench to play with. Having read the article, am I right in saying all 1.8t engines have the same bore and stroke dimensions, ie 81mm bore and 144mm stroke. I know the AUM has 19mm gudgen pins and are a weak point in the engine along with the con rods. SO ! I intend to buy to good "H" section rods, but wonder if I can fit BAM pistons. What Ya reckon guys ?
Regards Bill
Anybody know of a top notch mobile valet service in the Glasgow/Lanarkshire (Bellshill) area?
hey, i love the split bonnet look. does it have to be a diy job or can you buy them? i have a vw bora... has anyone bought one?
Just discovered this great forum, so I'll be looking for ideas to make my BMW 325xi more fun to drive. It's a 5 speed with all wheel drive, so the first order of business is to change all the fluids. I'm trying to find commercial equivalents to proprietary BMW fluids. I'm inclined to believe that high quality synthetic 75W90 gear oil can go in the trans, differentials and the transfer case.
My goal is to make this car last for a long time!
Cheers!
update on the tiger cub trying to hang onto it as well as the belva but running out of excuses to tell the wife would like to put it back on the road for summer the belva being mid engine does get very hot so i have to take out the side windows to get some air then have to put them back when i leave it bit of a pain
Plase help me!!! Am looking for a shop or a company that sells or manufatures FLIP PAINTS and if I can get price list or quotation on this.
Am also looking for under car neon light kits. If anyone has the contacts please post them here.
Many thanks

Exciting times here at Rvinyl! We just acquired a 2005 BMW 325xi sedan with the purposes of turning it into a show car. Every week we will be featuring the next phase of the project by adding a new accessory, wrap, part, tint and showing you the entire process of preparation, installation and outcome. Look for a ridiculous amount of videos, pics and posts as we literally srtrip this 2005 BMW 325xi down and build her back up again.
As I said above, everything we do will be have an accompanying videos which we will post to our YouTube channel and our site. The project is expected to take between 6 months to a year to complete but so far the we have planned the following modifications and upgrades in more or less the order we plan to...

not pretty, but did a job all the same :blink1:
Mini of course! Everyone has to play with one of these!
Chevette-started life with a 1.9 Manta engine, then that expired and in went a Rover V8, semi-space framed front end. A case of tail wagging the dog with this!
Audi GT 2.4i
I also had a 1340 Mini, no pictures, that ran a Longman engine, rallycross spec, 48 Weber, Jack Knight straight cut box and a Quaife slipper. I also designed and fabricated my own coilover rear beam axle. Redundancy put paid to that beauty.
Bought a 2009 Toyota Corolla, any special maintenance tips ?
Hi all, I thinking of getting a Vauxhall agila B as a project car. I was wondering what's the biggest engine you could swap into one due to the limited engine sizes. Could for instance you put a 1.4 turbo corsa engine in one???
Since I first posted about my Toyota a few days ago I know it's been the talk of the forum.Obviously anyone with a mk1 Avensis will understandably be the focus of much envious attention.I'm used to it when I see the drivers of Porsches and M5s stare with such longing at my car,sometimes I truly think I should remove the vvti badges from the wings because it feels like sheer gloating lol.
Nah,I do get stares but their usually either in amusements or from people who think I must be driving about thinking I've got the coolest car in town or something.It's an Avensis,a mini cab drivers dream car of the late 90s,early 2000s but for some daft reason it's really grown on me and I woud love to get a 250 bhp motor under there and embarrass all...

I have a 2000 eclipse game that I turbo'd and would like to know if anyone has or knows of someone that has the room definitions for that year as I can't find them
Does anyone in Aussie know where you can get one? 2000 Baleno Hatch.Only ones I have seen are from Sydney Special Vehicles for like $500. Bit exy and maybe someone knows of a spoiler from another car that can be made to fit.
Hi everyone looking for some advice, having trouble with rear calipers on my mondeo st tdci, put recon ones on a year ago and the hand brake mechanism is starting to stiffen up causing a lot of bother, this is the second set i have fitted, this is a common fault on the mk3 mondeo and i was looking for some advice to see if there was another ford caliper that will sort this problem out. Any advice would be very much appreciated many thanks Caffer.
