Just got word from my housemate that I received a package today brakes may be going on this weekend!!

And they're here!!



Now do I play games or install brakes?? Decisions, decisions

Well I played games all weekend, car treated me like a bitch again! Front caliper bleeder screw rounded out (vice grips to the rescue) ordered the last two bleeder screws in the country, $86 for two valves!! Gotta love dealer prices but hopefully can install brakes tomorrow afternoon.

I'm not losing boost, starting and idling **** lol going to have a good look for anything else I might want from 034 haha

What's happening with the brakes?

Let me know, I'll be placing the order about 9pm tonight. Brakes are on hold, waiting for new rear calipers. Should be here by the 25th the internet says

Love the finish. You need to do the intake chamber now, or polish it up?

Thanks mate, yeah I wanna do the intake manifold as well but need to decide if I'm gonna upgrade it or not. That new one from IE looks boss!

Thats lloks good! I want to do mine now..

how did you diagnose the PCV? I have a boost leak I cant find, possibly my issue as well.

I took it out and literally blew through it and could hear and feel the air leaking. Want me to order one for you as well? It wasn't leaking that bad but it was still enough to rob me of 4 psi. I've been chasing that leak ages, I've probably checked every clamp in the system and it was that damn valve haha

looks neat mate!

Thanks mate. I decided to clean out the pcv system as well while I was there as it looked pretty funky, I wasn't wrong!! So much crap came out! Also discovered my boost leak, damn pcv is leaking, I don't think they like high boost as it's only 4 months old. By-passed and got my 4 psi back, forgot how much fun the car is when I have full boost . Now I gotta order a billet pcv valve from 034 but they want $40 to **** a $30part here anybody want me to throw some stuff in the order for them and split postage?

Decided to paint the valve cover wrinkle black





Decided to keep the evap but I deleted the line going the the intake manifold, I figure vacuum from the tip should be enough to pull fuel vapours through.

just don't get pulled over by the DOT/EPA
my old 1jz cressida had no charcoal canister (was removed by prev owner) it never had issues

[Lito]

plus one on this! believe its the source for some ticking noise

Yeah and about 1.5m of vacuum hoses and 2 check valves. I want to simplify everything but I wanna make sure my car won't explode if I do it haha. A lot of guys in the uk do it and they just let the tAnk vent down into the fender.

So thinking about ripping out the charcoal canister/evap system unless anyone can convince me other wise...
