    Turbo inlet replacement

    Hadn't driven it for over a month since I noticed the original plastic one was cracked. But I believe the induction noises to be a bit louder. Couldn't comment on performance though unfortunately, but I'd imagine it would have a slight gain in performance, the internal dimensions are slightly...

    Turbo inlet replacement

    Ok so I received the cobb cast aluminum inlet yesterday. Just installed it, and it fits with no problems. I talked to Cobbs support about why it wasn't listed as compatible with the levorg, and they said basically because they don't really have access to the levorg to test fit.

    Turbo inlet replacement

    ...might be answering my own question. It's possibly due to different steering pump set up

    Turbo inlet replacement

    My OEM plastic turbo inlet is no good. I decided to upgrade, and ordered a grim speed cast inlet. Have been waiting forever, so rang up for an alternative the supplier can get in stock. Getting the Cobb one now. These are designed for the VA wrx, but for some reason they say it won't fit the...

    Little update, put some vinyl overlays on the badges, matte black with gloss black stars. Keeping to my black and white theme for the car.

    Charlie's work in progress

    Decided to not waste my day today, just finished installing the adjustable rear toe arms and control arms. Reasonably easy, pretty much have them sitting as factory at the minute. Taking into get a wheel alignment this arvo, and see if I want to change anything. Still contemplating getting the...

    The Levorg wheel fitment topic

    So currently my wheel arches are 670mm from the ground. I remember I played around with it when I put the new wheels on. I think maybe that's not much different to stock height if anyone knows/can measure.

    The Levorg wheel fitment topic

    The rides good, obviously a bit bumpier than stock due to the coilovers. The tyre has never rubbed. I think I've dropped it about 30 or 40mm. I'll check that later today when I get a chance.

    The Levorg wheel fitment topic

    These are 19x8.5 et45, with 235/45/19. When I ordered my zr10s they had me look at this, even though mines a 2016. So my wheel specs are the same, and I reckon I could prolly push to +38. But for that, and even what I'm running, having stiffer coilovers is pretty much a must. I reckon a 245/40...

    Charlie's work in progress

    Installed a gfb hybrid bov this week, set to fully recirc. Sounds better than I thought it would. I get a nice little turbo flutter at low boost/low rpm, and a sharp psshhhh when pushing it. I still haven't installed the control and toe arms yet, hopefully find some time in the next few weeks.

    Yea it definitely looks better. I find the chrome looks tacky. So far the chrome I've painted is holding up well. My friend tried to do it as well on his navara, but isn't holding up well. Can't remember if he followed the exact same process as me. May help that once upon a a time I was a panel...

    Haha yea, air cups might be on the back burner. Just looked at a Toyota century yesterday, so might be losing a lot of funds to that ha

    Charlie's work in progress

    Lowered the car 10mm last night. Figured out how to get into my underground carpark without scraping. Gotta reverse in on all kinds of angles, I'll have it perfected in a day or two ha. Probably get cheeky and try another 10mm.

    The Levorg wheel fitment topic

    Thanks, I want to lower it around 50mm, but I will need aircups to do so, as it already scrapes entering my underground carpark. Just want the tyre to be semi tucked and I'll be one happy man.

    Charlie's work in progress

    I'll need to adjust the height. But I am loving these. I low-key started worrying about how big the tyres were sitting them next to my old ones. But once they're on the car that all changed.
