mmm..not a huge amount.

machine out my ct26 hybrid. i think this turbo will take me close to the fueling limits.

get to some shows/meets/circuits and use it really.



then later in the year, winter time, potentially look into a custom CC.

then think about tidying the engine bay.


i had thought about some more tein parts, but dont think they are needed for a road car. (at the moment)

ive had 2 years of constant modifying/servicing to get it how i want it, so wona try and put more than 2500miles a year on it!

ive always pined after a gt3071, but given im still stock internally, i think im better off just upping the boost a little on my ct26 vs the expense of the garret. turns how i may have a garret comp wheel anyhow on my ct26.

Sock internals? Surely that's worse than the factory cast items? :mrgreen:

not alot more to update, but i needed to replace the windscreen, autoglass came up trumps, and i supplied them with a genuine toyota mr2 windscreen seal (£80+! :shock: )


also nailed down my camber, absolute max im comfortable running, as theres literally hair widths of gap, is -1.45-1.5 degrees up front.
im happy to keep the rears around -1.25

feels alot better up front with -1.5 compared to -1.1 i was running for a week or so and even more so -0.5 before that when i first got the fronts on!


also got me some nice fresh new number plates and a new toyota emblem also for the front bumper.

im also toying with the idea of going to some black sidestrips via some decals/pin stripes. something for a later date though.

should be all good to go for japfest in the mean time!

Nice one Jim, car looks great on the Enkeis!

I went for a new genuine seal also, when swapping my screen across from the tintop to the T bar. Worth doing imo, as it fits perfectly as expected.

Looks good Jim. I think an import rear bumper, and import front plate holder and plates would finish it off nicely. Just my 2p mind. :thumleft:

yeh ive been in 2 minds on the import front plate for ages, i even have the holder, but in the end to have an import front and uk rear seemed odd to me, and is alot of effort/money just to have an import rear bumper, so i decided to stick to uk sizes for the time being.

i still prefer the stuck on front plate over a uk holder, bit more "aero" than a uk holder plus makes it visually a little different.
