Here you are Mark, some more engine porn 
 
Brian Crowler valves and springs, complete with Titanium retainers.  Should help me achieve my 8,000 rpm goals 
 

 

Yes, see my post above

Even better! :-)

Not nearly as glamorous as the pictures that Nige has been posting, but..........
 
1NZ FE engine head, block, sump and cam cover all cleaned and ready for some machine work prior the the race engine assembly
 

 
One nice clean T Sport gearbox ready to be taken to Fensport for a LSD to be fitted
 

 
There are two parts of the 1N ZE that limit the amount of boost they will take, the 10.5:1 compression ratio (no direct injection like the GT86), and the ultra light weight powder forged con rods.  Here is a comparison between the Brian Crowler rods and standard
 

 
I will post some pictures of the forged 9:1 CP pistons when they arrive from the good old USA

Well if the dark destroyer is anything to go by, this should be quite a beast.
 
Regular updates please Dave, as Nigel has been a slightly irregular recently  (blaming the cold) 

Wow,looks great Dave,will you need a second driver for testing etc?   

Leading on from my thread here: http://www.gt86.org.uk/forums/topic/2091-plan-for-tss-2015/ there has been some progress, so thought I would start a build thread 
 
After a couple of months searching for the right base car, I finally found it at a relatively local Kia dealership
 

 
A red, totally rust free, 3 door, non sunroof Mk1 Yaris 
 
It has only done 124 000 miles (so just run in) and it drives brilliantly.  This engine (all 65bhp of it ) doesn't quite cut it for a Sprint car, so it is being replaced.
 

 
I have bought a low mileage Yaris T Sport  1.5l 1NZ FE engine and gearbox which is currently being turned into a full blown race engine.  I completely stripped down the engine, and after an overnight soak in Dichlorometane to remove all the oil and combustion crud, the head, cam cover, block and lower casting have been sent away for vapour blasting, to make them look like new.  The engine spec will be:
 
CP forged 9:1 pistons
Brian Crowler forged rods with ARP fasteners
ARP head, main bearing and flywheel studs / bolts
JUN stage 2 cams
Brian Crowler valve springs with titanium retainers
Garrett GT2560R turbo
Custom inlet manifold / plenum with a 1ZZ throttle body
Custom exhaust manifold (equal length runners, not log type)
Standard (new) valves, with the head lightly ported and polished
Stand alone ECU.  Whilst I would love to get a Motec, they are stupidly expensive, so my current thinking is to go with the DTA S60 (I just hope that Adrian can map it  )
 
The aim is a safe, reliable 250whp, which, in a car with a target weight of under 750kg, should be fun to drive 
 
Suspension wise, I have bought (at a very good price I could not refuse) a 6 month old set of D2 coilovers.  I know that D2s get very mixed bag reviews, but at the price I paid, I thought they would be worth a try.  I have just finished cleaning and making look like new a T Sport front cross member and front ARB, and have also managed to get hold of a Whiteline rear ARB (which are now like the proverbial rocking horse poo!  I have also bought a T sport rear axle assy, complete with the disc brakes, so when it arrives, I will be refurbishing it, fitting poly bushes, and then swapping it with the drum brake rear axle currently on the red monster. I am also making fully adjustable front lower suspension arms, so that the caster and camber can be optimised.  The D2s come with adjustable top pillar ball mounts at the front, so there will be plenty of adjustment to play with.  I have a new manual steering rack (don't want the weight and power robbing of a hydraulic power steering system).  If, when the car is finished the steering is too heavy, I will fit an electric power steering unit.
 
The interior will be totally stripped, and a roll cage fitted.  I have got a 1 piece phase 2 front bumper to replace the current 2 piece one, as well as T Sport side skirts and a genuine TTE tailgate spoiler.
 
As can be seen, it is going to be a lot of work to get the car built, so my current hope is to get it finished at least in time for the Croft round of the 2015 TSS, and then do the whole series next year.

Love it

Going to be an epic little beast this Dave, can't wait to see it at the TSS

Mike, I won't get it finished in time for the full 2015 season, although I hope to be able to get it finished to do at least a few rounds this year, in preparation for a full go next year.

Now this is why I am building my TSS car  .  Only problem is, I don't have any trusted Techs to help me!

Think you might need an LSD!
 
In your position I would have gone with a MK3 MR2, put a cage in it, then you could put on a turbo, much cheaper, much faster and way better handling.
 
Good luck with it though.

Nice one Dave,you would have to go turbo

Interesting! Can't wait to see this when it's done. I'll have to be at it's first event to see what i'm up against.

What a true Gent Nige is  .  I took a trip down to deepest Gloucestershire to drool over his car and go faster bits, and look what he gave me 

 
Thank you soooo much Nige 
 
As soon as it gets a bit warmer, I will be jacking up the back of my car, and fitting it.

Nige,  Give Fensport a ring in the morning.  They already have all the measurements.

I will wait for the Fensport solution :-)

As long as the registration plate of your stolen car is registered as stolen, I don't see how you can use it on another car.  ANPR purely looks at the number plate, not the VIN.

Awesome stuff, be good to see you again Dave, it's been a while! I'll update the list this evening.

Keith,
 
I am 90% available for either date.  
 
Nige, if I can make it, you are welcome to meet up at my house, and we can go together in my car.

Leave the vents only carbon, spray the rest white.  There is a picture somewhere on the FT86 Forum with this done, and it looks really good.  Otherwise, get a black GT86 (preferably turbocharged) to test it on 
 
Edit:  Got bored, so found the picture for you:
