I'd rather lose a section of my boot space than lose my spare wheel.

No, though I've never worried about carrying a spare wheel.

Right setting off shortly. Will see you guys in the morning.

If anyone is around MK tonight, I think about 30 of us from the GT86 DC are staying in the Double Tree Hilton at the Stadium in Milton Keynes. Do drop into the bar if you're around and say hello.

it's only one cable to thread through, so it's really not difficult. Just thread it through the passenger side by the sill. Easy! Also better for weight and all that to put it in the front. Then you can still use your boot.

I reckon it's pretty easy and cheap to get hold of some ducting for the air filter. Will be a much neater job, but up to you of course. A tiny gap is okay, but if your hoses are flexing, that's not good. I don't know about any stories about engine fires with batteries. Most cars have their batteries...

Stick your air filter on like this: http://www.mr2.net/trackdayqueen/images/sc_conversionpics/sc_conversion_15.jpg On this early installation pic you can see where the intake ducting connects to the intake: http://www.mr2.net/trackdayqueen/images/sc_conversionpics/sc_conversion_16.jpg And finally a ...

Could do, but will probably make a duct for underneath the car into the space where the battery used to occupy, put the filter there for a cold air feed and put the battery in the boot. Just a thought but you already have a setup in the boot with the ducting for the stock airbox. Stick a cone filte...

Just seen the map. GT86 BRZ Drivers Club and Corolla Brotherhood is in the same section, so we are close unlike last year. Will pop over.

Wouldn't it be be better to put a cone filter in the boot, give you more room?

Stick your battery in the front, gets it out of the way.

You'll need ti seal the lid to the IC or it won't work properly. Or get an SC engine lid, it'll look better that way.

Glad you got it running.

Are the coil packs different?

It's an early GZE isn't it? Then it will only have one coil. No coil packs as such.

Fuel pump faulty or faulty plumbing?

Mine made 186bhp. You won't make over 180bhp with an early engine. The stock head gasket is absolutely fine.

If there is one thing I would only fit OEM it would be the head gasket. It's the kind of job you only want to do once really.

But your choice of course.

I know it's a stupid question, but how is the alignment? If you don't have enough toe in at the rear or toe out at the front it will feel lively. I remember running mine with parallel toe at the front and not much in the way of toe in at the rear and the car felt like it wanted to swap ends in a str...

Just got a message from Erik. Date has changed to a week earlier than we thought so the new date will be Friday 21st till Sunday. This is fine by me, but Erik has told me that the Wild Bunch will not be there as they are there the week after (the 29th original date). What a shame. :( Erik has offere...

I would only use OEM too and take Phil's advice about getting a head gasket kit as there are bound to be other gaskets and o rings etc that could do with being changed.

Toyota can usually get these parts in a couple of days or so.

Yeah, I did wonder that! Would make sense with the SC I guess!

I've got a 4AGZE in the shed, but it's the other end of my short garden. I think you'll just have to have a look. They may well be as I know on my AE the power steering and AC are on the same bracket.

It's on the other side of the engine to the alternator, so I'm sure they are totally separate.

The trouble is, you need those bleed screws open in the front with the hoses connected whilst the engine is running. They're normally in the front boot somewhere if your car still has them. They're clear hoses that connect on and you hang them off the bonnet strut. That way you can be sure to get th...
