TT350 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Ah right that's not bad then very good price! All I would say is mates doing work for you always ends up hassle unless they are reliable. Every time mates do work for me it takes aggggeeesss although the price is normally good. Get it done! Be nice to see it progress He's pretty speedy. Said it'd take a week max. On another note, I'm going to buy a 1.0 Yaris today Quote
TT350 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Posted May 14, 2015 Bought the Yaris. I haven't driven anything with less than 170 bhp in a long long time. I was a bit overwhelmed by how slow the Yaris is to the point of being concerned it was faulty lol. But. It's comfy. The stereo is surprisingly good. It has basic early sat nav. AC. Toyota claims 49mpg. Quote
TT350 Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 Bearing gone deep in the engine. Wahey! Will be off the road for a couple of months. On the plus side I've been liasing with Torqen and he's sourced a shortblock for me which is capable of 650whp. That should arrive in 3 months. Specs are; Stage 1 Short Block up to 650rwhp 8.8:1 compression Wiseco Pistons .020 over Eagle/SCAT H Beam Rods ARP Rod Bolts Block inspected and cleaned Block redecked Block Bored and Honed using a Torque Plate Block water passage cut for HR Headgaskets Rotating assembly balanced Crank magnafluxed and the journals micro-polished New Moly coated Race Spec main bearings installed New Moly coated Race Spec rod bearings installed Block prepped and assembled ARP VQ35 Main Stud Kit Ceramic/Moly Piston Coating 350z DE Short Block Core Charge I'm thinking in the meantime I will slowly take apart the engine for when it goes into TDI North to drop the shortblock in. Save some time and money on labour plus it'll be interesting to do. I have plenty of mechanic friends if I get overly buggered but I'll try my best. On top of that Torqen will be supplying clutch rated to 715ft/ib, 6 x 1000cc injectors, gaskets etc. And a lovely 380mm big brake conversion. Beautiful. The 380mm discs will necessitate 19" wheels which I always planned to get anyway. They'll probably be Work VSXX. On top of that I'm thinking Vertex front bumper and sideskirts and chargespeed rear bumper and a respray in championship white. Kind of an off white. So should be complete by the beginning of summer and maybe a grand unveiling at a meet. Toyota Yaris in meantime. Save some money on fuel lol. 1 Quote

Ogman Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Looking forward to this! Btw, the 380mm BBK fit under the standard Rays 😊 running them on mine fella. Minimal clearance but hey, who needs clearance!? It's almost like they were made to fit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Can get that all done before the bodykit/paint/wheels then as I wanted to do the aesthetic things all together which obviously means wheels and as I thought I needed 19s minimum then I thought I'd have to do brakes last. Which wouldn't be good with 650hp at the wheels and my heavy right foot lol. Quote
