  1. Best post so far this thread... pity only about 3 people on this forum will know the meaning to it.... I am pretty sure this one has been done completely rope free..... far change from the olden days lol
  2. This one is alot more thorough then my attempt several years ago, (learning from your mistakes is the best way to learn, there has been more thought and considerations put into this attempt then when I tried to rush it all together) .... as for all the bits and pices amassed from my attempt they were all sold off pretty much straight away, The Blue rolla is now my wifes car.
  3. Can be Done and Has been Done.... take a look at Pippys Thread about his levin http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...showtopic=15425
  4. If your car is indeed a genuine 95 turbo and not a conversion then you should most deffinately have a CT20b and you would only want to replace it with the CT20b as it is a much better turbo that the CT26.
  5. dunno what's up with Corey... I was kinda thinking the same thing... X3
  6. You shouldn't have any fittment issues Bill as long as the TuRD wheels aren't a strange design. Pippy's 16" Enkei's fitted over the 302mm setup we did for him, so your 295mm should be fine :) The only issue (if you can even call it an issue) was getting the wheel balancing weights changed from the ones they stick to the inside of the rim to the type that clip onto the lip of the rim. But with 295mm you may still clear them anyway.
  7. "consdering the work done " yeah so much work went into my old car, a CAI and a catback exhaust with a mildly tuned emanage I didnt even have extractors (yet I still won the highest 1ZZ at the CES dyno day Remember ;) ) Considering it went from a fresh (basically brand new stock car) of 71kw atw to a 4 year 100000km old car with 90.5kw atw I think both Jason and myself were quite happy with the results of True DIY'ing Anyway Back to the topic at hand.... Great work DuGong, Glad to see you got the wiring sorted out :)

Terms and conditions available on Australia's Funniest Home Video Show homepage. http://funniesthomevideos.ninemsn.com.au/ Cheers Mark
  15. No nothing has changed... they are different The Clutch Kits for the 1zz and 2zz have different pressure plates, which is the only difference...(yet since they are generally sold as kits, not individual parts they have different Part #'s) the clutch disc is the same, and is the same one that has been used on the Toyota C Series Gearboxes for years.
  16. Spotted Dr. Danz driving some fool of a tourist from Brisbane all over Melb so he could buy his new car... Also Spotted the resident Bling Bling King Negatron driving the same tourist from Brisbane aorund Melb.... Thanks again Guys... It was very much appreaciated :D
  17. And even if you do you still have time to cut the engine off before the water will make its way through the plennum and into you engine... I have already proved this
  18. But thats just it....there isnt a tried and tested kit for the RHD ZZE corolla the only thing that comes close is the Blitz kit for the JDM Runx from Brashboy's and at 7.5 grand (before shiping and impport duties etc.) or the TRD kit for the 1ZZ(made for the LHD US 1ZZ cars), so DIY custom or custom job from a "performance" shop is the only way to go and as i was saying if you have the tools, know how and capabilities to DIY then you would be stupid to pay a shop to do it for you... Its obvious FAT-911 is confident in his own work so i dont see why everyone keep trying to tell him not to do it. Bill's Turbo kit is about as comprehensive and well thought out as you could get but even he is still having issues mainly because of his manifold and the turbo/dump location.... (C2Power manifold designed for Euro LHD celicas, but about the only kit manifold that will also fit RHD Celicas/Corollas) these are the same issues the PETIR turbo celica in MLB had so yeah even a custom and shop turbo kits have problems on RHD cars due to the location of our steering rack. So to FAT-911 I say go for it man and dont let all the naysayers here deter you from having a go at it yourself, as I am sure you have seen by now a Rotrex setup like the_J_factor's of new celica\oz celica is a fairly straight foreward way to go about FI for the 2ZZ your main cost will be the rotrex itself and as you know piping ect. is relatively cheap when you arent paying someone else to do it ;)
  19. But thats the thing.... if your the one doing the work then you know that the job has been done right and mistake free.... the only time a warrenty is worth anything is when something breaks/goes wrong due to the installers mistake and most of the time they will blame it on something else and you will still end up paying at best for their labour only..... At the end of the day if you have the know how and equipment to DIY you will always save $$$$$ but if you dont have to confidence to do it yourself Silva then by all means pay some one to do it for so you can sleep at night.... but not everyone on this forum is scared of a bit of DIY :P
  20. If you have the equipment and facilities to do all your own fabricating then custom is deffinately the way to go... the main reason custom jobs seem to cost so much more $$$$ is because the people getting it done are paying someone else to do all the work for them..... eg... a custom exhaust/cooler piping/whatever made by a shop is going to cost 3 to 4 times what it would cost anyone with the tools/know how to make the same thing. We made the catback on my car for approx $300 yet goto a custom exhaust shop and you will probably end up with little or no change from $1000 for the same thing .... But in saying that not everyone has the tools/skills/initiative to do it themselves so they pay these places the overly inflated prices..... In All, if you have the tools/knowledge /skills then a DIY custom kit will always be cheaper and you have the satisfaction of knowing exactally what was done and how it was done.... and not to mention all the stuff you learn along the way.... hands on experience is 2nd to none....
