So I've been on here around 6 months and owned my F1 same amount of time, lots as happened since buying the car
ill start with the bits I've done since it was stock, and onto the future

Manky, peeling old wheel

after a little retrim

and gaiter/knob to match


the normal ball joint failure :-(


Shiny new Bilstein B14's

HEL lines

on the dyno ;-) no pics of the bits but this is after fitting a Toyosports mani, de-cat non res milltek and induction kit

before and after remap with the toyosports manifold, induction kit and de-cat non res milltek

now onto the meg bit ;-)
engine and box complete sourced via steve at SC, big thanks to steve who's also sorted the loom work and ECU for the conversion!
So complete R26 engine and ND0 020 box, from a sensible mileage car, new timing belt and clutch etc fitted whilst out, fully serviced also used bore scope to inspect inside bores, to say its mint is an understatment!

3'' Milltek Meg downpipes/decat and link pipe

heat wrapped and fitted

boss tig'd in for innovate gauge sensor

Meg oversize boost pipes from auto specialists, next to stock top pipe, these will become black once finished

bit of a mock up with an airtec 95mm Meg FMIC unfortunately i removed the bumper to ofer it up and it was too deep, now have there 70mm option

70mm core unit

end modded to suit the conversion

ARP connecting rod bolts, couldn't see it not worth fitting these whilst out



condition of big end shells! barely a mark on them


immaculate sump insides! and new gasket fitted

1.4 16v fuel pump sacrificed to suit Deutsch works fuel pump
Forge TIP pipe and DV

Thats it so far but hopefully next weekend will be the big day!
Cheers Nick
