[Race Idiot]

Hi Mate

Right given that the part number I gave you is for the fronts and you were after the rears I did a little hunting. The MK2 EPC doesn't show these boots with separate part numbers, but these are the part numbers for both MK1 and MK3s which AFAIK use the same rear calipers, so the boots *should* be the same. They're used on loads of other Toyotas as well.

1 x 47775-17010
1 x 47776-14010

You need one of each, per side. The first one is the lower one that has a metal bush inside that the long bolt goes through. Doesn't include the metal bush). The second one is the top one.

thanks for that, ill email them over, i know the mk1 doesnt have the 22v rear calipers as i sold someone a pair once to upgrade his mk1

[jasongtr]

so all the calipers on, the brakes and the clutch have been bled so it now moves and stops (well it needs a new bleed nipple so the brakes are properly bled.

Hopefully getting my dash back soon too.

Looking forward to seeing the dash.... I have the same white/black/orange colour scheme with a hint of silver thrown in as well.

so the centre console is almost finished, i wanted to add some extra gauges but not have them all over the place (pillar pods or stuck randomly around)

so i gave up the centre heater vents, moved the bar down to create a single din stereo slot, bit of fibreglass, filler, primer and paint and this is what we have,

the gauges are 50mm wideband AFR, and 2x HKS 60mm water temp and oil pressure gauges.

theres a little room under the middle gauge to fit a digital boost gauge or i might put a digital battery meter in there and put a boost gauge in the stock NA battery place inthe dash, the stock water temp gauge in the dash may be replaced with a fuel pressure gauge i have (if i can be bothered to cut the clocks around to make it fit)

so in stages



test fit the stereo slot






to this




EDIT: im not really sure about leaving it black, ill wait until the dash comes back and see before painting the other parts to match, might tone it down a little to anthracite or something, also a rattle can paint job wont look as it does as black isnt very forgiving

[craig]

Looking good mate

[jasongtr]

little update time

finally got my resprayed rev1 doors back from the painters, the OS one is on, the NS one is being done tomorrow along with fitting the blueflame exhaust i picked up off a breaker (and the cat for MOT time)

oh and my alcantara dash is back and in the car now

Coolio! Any pics? We like pics

[jasongtr]

i could get one but the OS dash trim isnt painted or even fitted yet

[craig]

No worries dude, in that case wait till it's all finished

Bet it looks awesome so far

[jasongtr]

yes mate it does, it wont be totally finished for a while, got this breaker to get on with and i pick another golf 4motion up to break next week

[jasongtr]

couldnt resist posting the dash pic up.

steves workmanship is excellent.

the 2 bigger dials in the centre console are not sitting flush as they are hitting the stereo mount brackets so they need taking off and cutting down.

ill prob get steve to retrim a std gearknob with the orange stitching so ill have the TRD knob up for sale soon (well i have two of them now)

[craig]

Looks bang on mate!

Steve's done a cracking job there!

[jasongtr]

my latest breaker had a couple of nice bits for my car, front and rear whiteline ARB's and what i thought was a blueflame exhaust and decat, but on closer inspection has small kakimoto stickers on the tailpipes, what ever it is it sounds the nutts, just how i like a v6 to sound, deep and smooth, not raspy and loud.

[jasongtr]

see my sig for the link to the aftermarket parts that are for sale, then ill sell the car with std suspension/wheels/braces/arb's

ill post a proper car for sale advert up when the aftermarket stuff has sold

if the aftermarket stuff doesnt sell then ill keep the car

[HighwayStar]

Err, what's happening Jason?

[toxo]

Less selling and more supercharging please

[jasongtr]

decided to sell up, assuming i can get the parts sold and put it back to almost std, then ill sell the car cheaper than its worth at present.

im happy to sell the car but if it doesnt work out ill be ok with that too if you know what i mean, ive come to the conclusion that i dont have time to finish the car, it was supposed to be on the road an around spring, then summer, now it looks like it wont be on the road until another 2 months has past at which point i was going to take it off the road and supercharge it and fit the turbo box, so the later it gets in the year ill end up not putting it on the road until its all done and we will still be here this time next year.

I think i need to buy a car that i can drive straight off, and think long and hard about taking it off the road to upgrade as it will probably never go back on the road if this experience is anything to go by, i should of just sold the blue v6 when i had buyers lined up and not gone through the time and expense of reshelling it.

the next few days/weeks will determine whether it goes or not, if i can get people lined up for the parts then ill sell them all in one go, i have 2x def people on the supercharger, 1x on the hks gauges, i dont think selling the whitelines, trd braces, turbo box and clutch will be too hard, then its just the suspension (rare gab struts) and the enkeis to go. Then the car will go with the alcantara dash, i did think about taking that out and selling it but its a twin airbag model so id have to source a twin airbag dash to replace it and thats going to be tricky
