PostSubject: My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated   My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated EmptySat Sep 14, 2013 5:54 am

Bought this levin a few months ago. It had been parked up for the last few years and driven from time to time. Unfortunately the bonnet opened on the road one day when the previous owner had it so the bonnet is in fairly bad condition. The car has the following TOM's parts: front bumper, grill, side skirts, double rear spoiler, horn button...anyway I'll let the photo's do most of the talking

I only had it a week and I found this set of New Action's for sale so I bought them straight away

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated WP_000231_zps3a8d35a5

And then I didn't do much with it for a few months until 2 weeks ago.

I sent it off to a mechanic to sort out the breaks as it was pulling violently to the left under breaking, he got the disks skimmed as they were rusted, new pads and a timing belt.

The postman has been busy this week Laughing 

I got this apexi RSM

This fiberglass kit and soldering iron

And these extended steel nuts arrived yesterday

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0072_zpsc0cc8889

So when I got home last night and saw that the lug nuts had arrived I ended up out in the rain putting on the New Actions with only a flashlight to see what I was doing Laughing. I also gave the car a good wash, a wax and got rid of most of the haze from the headlights

Thanks. Ya she does, especially the back, where I live I can't go much lower with the front, My e46 in the background of one of the photos is about 2 inches lower than the levin and I cant go anywhere in it, just today a airbag sensor and the plastic mount for it got pulled off the car on my way to work Sad 

I'm getting the body cleaned up and then a fensport pulley and a fmic. Thats all I have planned for now but no doubt more will be added to the list Rolling Eyes

PostSubject: Re: My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated   My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated EmptyThu Feb 27, 2014 8:05 am

Sorry I haven't updated this. Here's a copy of my updates on TOC irl over the last few months:

Got a TOM's strada steering wheel and a GTZ gearbox (just incase) from Paulie Dee. Also got a new boss kit as my one had seen better days.

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0090_zps90fd6136

Also was shopping this morning and am broke now Rolling Eyes  but there will be a good update coming once parts arrive Twisted Evil

Haven't done much to this in a while, timing chain slipped in my BMW Sad  so had to buy a runaround for the time being Sad .

Here's how the car looks at the moment....its a mess ha

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0352_zpsdd7f3926

I went to fit a snap-off to the steering wheel...

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0350_zps15c82457

...but ran into a small problem, the boss is broken and twisted from what looks like a past attempt to rob the car...I have a new boss for it just to fit it

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0348_zpsb75d2912

The old ashtray was missing the cover and a few other bits so I got a new one to tidy it up a bit as it looked very rough....(not that it makes much of a difference at the moment the cars an absolute mess on the inside haha)

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0346_zps15a9fd86

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0347_zpscb59b33a

The drivers window is dodgy and only works sometimes so I got another motor and regulator from alanh7488

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0353_zpsff2e9dce

I also got the RSM wired up...am thinking of mounting it where the air vents were to avoid clutter on the dash, what do ye think?

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0349_zpsdbfeba62

I also got a turbo timer but its not working right...when I turn off the car the engine stops but the dash lights stay on for the set amount of time...anyone know why this is?

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0351_zps5b225c28

Also got a package from Fensport....I'm sure most of ye can guess what I got off them Wink  Very Happy

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0345_zpsf92cec4f

I had access to a mechanics shed yesterday while he was gone away for the day. I intended on changing the handbreak shoes on my Lexus but got sick of that so said I'd give the Levin a good service, I changed filters, oil and plugs. I also found the source of a misfire it was after developing...in short two of the plugs were wanked

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0386_zpss7qbpudv

I had put the fensport box into the boot of the car a few days previous while we were cleaning the house so said I might aswel have a go at putting it in. Here's what the old one looked like on the car

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0378_zps9bfbrvgk

I spent a few minutes sizing up what would have to be done and debating leaving it to the mechanic but eventually decided that I had gone about doing it so might aswell finish it. So I loosened off the belts, picked up the air gun, loosened the bolt holding it on and pulled off the pulley. Here's the size difference of the standard pulley versus the fensport one

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0379_zpsdvvjhsc3

Then I test fitted the fensport pulley...it really is as big as you could fit on without having to go messing with a smaller pulley for the water pump

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated DSC_0383_zpsytx9awa0

I have no more photos from here as my battery died. I had to remove a spike coming straight out from the engine, what it was there for I don't know but its gone now. That allowed the fensport pulley to fit on properly or so I thought. I put on the new supercharger belt and the undersized idiler pulley and tensioned up the belt. Then I put back on the alternator and power steering belt and tensioned them back up, which took ages because the fensport pulley was now a lot closer to the bolt for the adjuster, I ended up using a ratchet spanner to tighten it and only getting 1 click each time. I put the splash guard back on, started the engine and instantly there was a steel on steel noise.

At this stage it was 9o'clock, and after 10 minutes of debating whether to leave it of go back at it I decided I might aswel finish its so I  ripped off everything again. The waterpump pulley was meeting the fensport pulley at one point but only on the engine side of the pulley. When I had checked it earlier I didn't spin the waterpump pulley the whole way around, it was able to spin a bit so I presumed it was ok.

I removed a millimeter or 2 from the engine side lip of the fensport pulley, all it was really stuck for was 1mm. Put the pulley back on the engine, this time I made sure it cleared the waterpump, back on with the belts and tensioned them up again for what would hopefully be the last time.

By now it was approaching 11o'clock and the lads who were there with me had gotten very sick of standing around in the cold and my back was in agony from all the bending over. I started the car and everything ran smoothly...Thank God.

Anyway here's a short video I got off Aidan

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated Th_Snapchat-20140123105542_zpsfa73b92f

I got a set of 8.5mm magnicore leads for it today thanks to MCG

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated 20140220_203517_zpsytris1jg

I probably won't be updating this again for at around 2 months as I'm just after changing jobs, buying a car and paying insurance which wasn't cheap ha.

I need opinions on where to go with this get it on the road for the summer with all the body work fixed or spend money on more engine mods to try and get as much as I can out of it, I would be hoping for close to 200bhp. So what do ye think?

There's a mod you need to do to overcome the 0.6 Bar boost limit of the Air Bypass Valve (ABV). As stock the ABV gets a vacuum through a Vacuum Switching Valve VSV, if you pipe the ABV to a boost feed from the inlet manifold it allows for a high boost. You might need a better intercooler/location as you start upping the boost.

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated 20140401_185329_zpskgbekzb2

She's a super little car...absolutely flew through the test...I couldn't believe that it passed 1st go after not being NCT'd in at least 4 years

Picked up a few bits for this over the last few weeks....

Jap flare...it's the small things  Smile

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated 20140326_185706_zpshnm5ydbv

The old disks were warped so I got a set of EBC dimpled and grooved disks

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated 20140329_144732_zps400g39rj

I eventually managed to find a bonnet for it after something like 7 months of searching  cheers 

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated 20140403_204308_zps0fzx8ggf

The rocker cover gasket was leaking so I got new gaskets for it and went to change them a few days before NCT. When I took off the rocker cover there was a build up of carbon :(so I spent an evening cleaning out the head and brought it to one of my friends the next day who's a mechanic and he took down the sump and took off the oil pick up to clean it out....I don't have any photo's of this cos taking photo's was the last thing on my mind when I saw the build up.

This is how the car was looking 2 weeks ago...white bonnet isn't a great look haha

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated 20140404_170806_zpszyxhspld

I had to take off the high rise TOM's spoiler cos it had gotten loose and was about to fall off...to be honest I was lucky it hadn't came off while I was driving it...


Here's a few photo's the woman took of me getting absolutely destroyed while washing the sump and oil pick up

 lol! it was great fun...got destroyed 2 days in a row...had to wash the rocker cover the day before...I was covered in burnt oil and who knows what else

The old bonnet had a heap of dents and bends on it from when it opened on the previous owner while he was driving it one day, you can't really see it in the photo's but it was in a bad way and gone beyond repair, there was a nasty dent on the roof too....but its all sorted now Smile

I brought this down to killarney last weekend for the rally of the lakes and it didn't miss a beat all weekend. Unfortunately I didn't have time to bring it back to the panel beater to get it compounded after being sprayed before the lakes but I got it done this week.

I tried to keep as much of the original paint as I could as there is no matching the quality of original paint.

I got the stickers removed from the side of the car, the blue KYB ones and the shopping list on the door. The drivers side sideskirt was broken and there was a dent above the drivers side window so I got them repaired

On the front of the car I got the bumper, bonnet and grill resprayed and got the bonnet hinges straightened so that the bonnet now sits flush.

Before

After

My Supercharged TOM's Levin - Updated 68f8cffc-8bca-4b3e-b61e-9dca8a63811d_zps288f7b0d

I got the trim over the windscreen painted black as the black coating that was on it was chipping and exposing the chrome. The dent on the roof was sorted and the roof resprayed

The tailights weren't lined up right so I got that sorted and the spoiler repaired, resprayed and reattached. And got pressed steel number plates.

Eventually found a home for the RSM....I put it on the dash between the digital clock and the gauges....there wasn't a lot of space there so I had to cut off one of the legs, then sprayed the stand black and test fitted it using the finest of bluetack ha

Once I was happy with the placement....i.e. it wasnt blocking the clock or the petrol gauge  Very Happy I fixed it permanently to the dash using the most adhesive substance know to man....double sided sticky tape  lol!

I resprayed the break calipers black, they needed to be resprayed anyway and the red didn't look great with the red lip on the alloys

Yup it was, I only saw you as you went past me, would have saluted you if I saw you in time. It's not often you see another 101 on Irish roads ha.
