Project Terzo 112
 

As you are all aware I've have purchased a nice clean Terzo so I am going to start a wee a project thread of what I will be doing to it anyway today I have just order a set of yellow 440 injectors so now the slippery slope begins once again lol .

On a mission just ordered a TD05 16g second hand and it's getting sent straight to John at BRD to get converted to front entry and if he can change it to billet that will be getting done as well and give it the once over to see if any other parts need replaced .

Cerrrrrching !!! :lol:


Good luck with your project...:nod:

First part of the puzzle arrived today .

Just sent Mart at Lateral performance how much it would cost to reflow the injectors and just been looking at getting a carbon bonnet vent to replace the one it and buy another set of gauges to replace the ones that are in it .

Done it again just ordered this

Just been talking to Kris at Highland Performance Development in Inverness about 330mm ksport 8 pot brake kit set up with Fedro DS2500 pads Got a good deal at £1000 delivered so time to save a bit of money for the next 6 months but I will go and pick them up as it's only a 5 min drive from my house .

Have you got some pics as she stands now to compare to the later finished project :)

Yes look on show and shine and look at first wash that's what she looks like now as collecting parts as I go along then when I get back home that's when I will start taking pictures of before and then after pictures as and when I start to fit the parts mate .

Just had a look that's a really clean looking terzo :-) good luck with the project mate

Well John at BRD has received my TD05 16g he is going to convert it to front entry and also going to do a big 16g billet conversion I wonder how much bhp that will produce once he's done his work to it .

340 with supporting? (stabbing in the dark a little) ;)

I think that will be enough bhp for me until I get another engine next year lol .

Everything is coming along nicely just bought sti8 short block with 49k from a engine builder in Aberdeen just need a set of sti4 heads to go with it .

;) I might know where a set is sat ;)

Might as well call you a part shop Dave lol .

FMIC now sorted , bidding for a set of 550 injectors on eBay , now need to find a decent clutch that is good for up to 450 but won't be going that much might need some help on that one .

These parts arrived today my list is getting small but still got a long way to go

Can't beat new parts arriving :norty:

Do I need to key my FMIC core before I spray it so the paint has something to stick to as going to use primer first before painting it .

:doubleup: i really want to go fmic....how much was this kit mate???

And what colour is the gear knob ? Any links to where it came from

The colour of the gear knob is what the picture shows and it's a skunk2 gear knob which can be found on eBay and skunk2 website .

Well I've started to paint the core this is in primer stage just waiting for it to dry http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/19/qajajazy.jpg

Cheers Scott ,, ill go look

That's the core now painted Matt black not a bad job for first time so here is the finished core http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/19/3uba4a4u.jpg

Going to have to take a trip to halfords to some more spray paint for the pipe work and some more tools like a dremmel to finish off cutting the bumper away and a drill so I can mount the core .

Not a bad way to use a old chair pipe work has been spray Matt black then a tin of lacquer let them dry .http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/19/rydy3u5e.jpg

Good job, though I'd just hang it on the wall in your lounge as it looks so nice!

Looks great .... when's your creation on display at the Tate Modern? :-P

Your missus is going to go bonkers when she sees that chair! :wife:

Bloody snapped three metal blades trying to cut front bumper support bar another trip to b&q again I will get the FMIC fitted .

Looking good so far Bud, its nice to see another Terzo being looked after!

liking the black fmic pipe work looks smart

Ordering new short block tomorrow so that's my budget used up for this month don't want to use my plastic friend yet .

Just order x3 52mm prosport gauges should arrive tomorrow or Friday .

Well just finished putting new front bumper support bar on car as well fitting FMIC and pipe work , also fitted new prosport gauges with the help of my two good mates but need to finish wiring the gauges to the lights to change the colour so that will get done today then we will start work my mates EVO6 GSR . Will take some photos of what has been done so far once its had its wash and polish .

A bit of a set back took the car for a drive to make sure everything was good until oil dropped from engine found the source sender running from the plug in cylinder 3 is leaking big time so order a new complete sender unit with plug which arrives tomorrow so be fitting that then check oil levels replen with new oil take it for a test drive to see if there any leaks fingers crossed on that one .

Well got a lot done today so here is the progress so far

That's it for now

Nice one mate. Coming along really well.. whats next on the cards?

buying a set of stiv4 heads from Dave aka(Ginola) to go with my stiv8 short block and a stiv4 orange maf and apexi induction kit .

Nice one Scotty. When and if I get a chance I will try and knock you up some of those number plate brackets, as ideally you need to get that number plate away from blocking the airflow to the inter cooler.

Cheers bud I was just going to take it off and put it in the car for now as I need to order a square number plate .

Not done much to the car but just found one of the boys is selling a brand new stage 2 competition clutch and also a set of 18" rota drifts .

Looks like you'll be having a busy start to your retirement ;) What colour are the Rotas?

Been powder coated white .

OK, like mine now ;) They're a bugger to keep clean :p

I know but I hope 18" 8.5-5x100 ET44 fit without doing any mods to the arches .

Ordering these next and side skirts to match once Tim at ralleytec has got them made .

no no no, please don't

Why you not a big fan of them .

Less is more IMO, these cars are starting to pick up in value.

Are you aiming on just getting the splitter flares or that stupid wing to bumper effort and bonnet catches too?

For me it was a Terzo and is nothing like how it left the factory, go as mad as you want :D

Just the splitter flares .

I don't know if I should fit my yellow 440 injectors or not or just fit them and see if I get any problems and can you remove air con radiator and pipe work without removing the air con unit .

If you fit the 440's are you getting the car mapped as it will DEFFINATLY need doing. As for the ac is there a reason as to why? As in just weight reduction?

Also with the 440's were they flow matched? As if not may be worth getting it done.

Ow and I do like the splitter...

Just for weight reduction and as for the 440's not been flow tested so I think I might by a ph2 set and get them flowed bigger as it works out cheaper than to buy brand new so I might just hold off for the time being .

Fair play, I never bothered removing mine. As for the injectors I would hold for bigger ones but all depends on what power you are looking for. Such a shame as I think I threw away a spare set of adaptors for a phase 1.5 injector to 2...

Going for the 400bhp+ mark

Been trying to get a classic power steering cooler loop pipe none of the breakers up here don't have any so a phone call to subaru and order a brand new one rip off is not the word but I need it so have to pay the price someday and that day is today for me . Got my price for a full respray happy with that so that getting booked in for next year .

You will need to modify the arches.
Mine rub and yours will poke out approx 13mm more than mine. So it would need more then just an arch roll.

Cheers Scott might look in to it later are yours 8" wide .

Yup 8x18 ET51

Now that's one thing I cant find stamp on my alloys on the inside is the ET which I find a bit strange might need to have a harder look .

Thanks Scott never knew that well I've learn something new today always learning even when you get older .

On Friday I will being replacing my power steering cooler loop pipe on my classic with my new one .

Q1 . How do I empty all the power steering fluid .
Q2 . What make of power steering fluid to buy and how much would I need .

Well it's raining today and I've got a couple of bits to do today first bit is I'm going to replace assy cooler pipe . A pic of the new one and it's price tag .

Right decided to do wire change which wasn't hard for the rear sti lights connector block the first picture is what the wiring looked like see here
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...f66a34c6ca.jpg
Then what I did was remove the black wire which is next to the brown wire , removed the black wire and put it the top on its own so I have one reverse light working and using the other for the fog light as there is no space to cut a housing in the top of the cluster . Here is a picture of the connector block with the wire changed . I have checked that it works but waiting on red bulbs .

Cracking stuff, and jebus that cooler pipe is expensive for what it is :S

Order a new square number with GB on it today but it's going to take 3-5 days so I can get rid of the old one so going to make some brackets ready to fit it and done some painting on some engine bay parts to hide the good rust to make them look new first coat on .
http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...4b2ab3bd3a.jpg

Included a indicator bulbholder/plug, its the same plug as the fog light, so you can just chop the end off.

Looks like it has a massive roof scoop.....

Just noticed that :rofl:
