I would say its the fuel map on cold starts,

 

Mine has the same prob till its warm

Its not a huge hassle, but if getting the car warmer and keeping it warm will help it might be the easier solution?

Maybe the thermostat option, hell I still don't know the engine specs yet as the dude hasnt sent me the list as promised :bash:

 

Big port 16v is about all I know.

Does it even have a thermostat in it?

Does it have a tacho dash in it?

No idea. Ill check when I have time.

 

No tacho dash but I have one in Cop Bait.

Finally got some specs,

 

bigport 16V from an ae82, cut and shut manifold, alloy radiator, Walbro fuel pump, s series diff with locker.

t-50, new ecu, new map sensor, exeedy HD clutch, new clutch master/cylinder, new TPS, plus 'other shit he's probably forgotten'.

 

New windscreen too, it does look clearer than an original one.

 

The exhaust alone cost him $600 and sounds amazing. Not sure about the fu11y hektik drift pipes.

 

Seems like a good base. Just need to be comfortable, saturday can't come fast enough to swap the wheel and seat.

looks good!

Theres the reason for the rough idle when cold,

 

Having a MAP sensor is a world of pleasure, and by the sounds of it, is tuned

You can't tune a 4age ecu, at all.

flat front beige ke's look the goods.

 

I see you every arvo at 4pm at the matilda lights in kunda park on my way home.. i wave but i don't have a horn, so if you see some one giving the thumbs up from a loud Surf, its me..haha

Ha ha cool. I think I overtook you yesterday heading home thinking, man, thats one loud Surf.

well reed its a good car bro can't wait to see it and well as for cop bait best thing is spare parts u can change it may have cost u a lot of money and you say your new to this car well in time u will learn all u need to know btw is the T-50 in it a AE71 one or a TA22 one cause there is a catch to the celica boxes with reverse u got to lift up to put into reverse

Nah its just old I think, if I do the put it in second then reverse it works fine. Apart from when I back into my garage.

 

I'm sure I'll just get used to it, I got my K50 humming when it started crunching. Just a new old car with new old problems.

 

And if I can decipher what you wrote, yes, most of the good stuff will make its way off CB onto Peanut.

 

Did I mention apart from the spare wheel well this is the only rust I have found.

 

 

Pity about the gazillion little dents.

Was if fibre glassed up like my rust?

nope, just no rust. May have been repaired properly but I can't find any evidence of it.
