Well, I have finished all the bits and pieces in the engine bay, just got to hook up the washer bottle. The grill is on just need to screw her together. Anyway here's some pics. It is down with Toyota right now getting the MAP sensor looked at (fingers crossed).

Cheers

Matt

Yeah injector seat activator. Only trouble is I have attached it to the drivers seat! Yeah I quite happy with grille apart from the stain from the radiator fluid pissing out. But I will steam clean the engine bay this week.

Are you still picking races at the lights or did you sort your idle out?

I like the ignition conversion is that the starlet one or another toyota\mitsubishi one if you still have holes for door locks you should fit matching ones

Alright guys give me a few secs I'll be back. But first a couple of things. The guys at Toyota couldn't fix the MAP sensor issue :cry: . And the car overheated again on the way home. So I did some radical surgery to the front of the car. But! I pulled the lead off because I was going to do a continuity test on each of the wires going to the ECU anyway decided to take her around the block to see if my work on the radiator had worked and guess what the check light was off and the things revs like a demon again. Just hope it stays that way!!! I also put the thermo back... :D

Stripey yeah sorted it. I now sits on 1000 it was a combo of the TPS (to far forward so not sensing butterfly fully closed) and the hose to the MAP sensor had come off. Solve both and instantly went into a nice idle.

Pics to come...

Cheers

Matt

Here's one before the conversion...

Why Bee Zee Indeed. Yeah glad you like the look Mick, also you should see the hole I cut in the front to allow more air to the radiator. Needs a tidy up but will hopefully keep the thing cool.
