rob_bower Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 As prommised now jae is over and done with and the site is back up, it time for and update!!!!! im sure those who were at jae spotted them at some point but for those who werent there here goes!!!!the first thing to arrive was my early glanza rear light to make things a bit more symetrical, along with the aux reverse loghts which were a pain to wire in to the boot lid but well worth it!!! along witht the import number plates (the rear has the uksc url for advertising puposes) :angry: seconed part sourced finally was the rolla mani at a bargain £30 from a local jap spares :angry: fitting this wasnt fun as one of the original securing bolts of the standard inlet mani sheared off in the block!!! with no room to get a drill in removing it was fun!!!! but it was a good job i had pocket'ed one from the scrappy.next was a bit of maufacturing a home made heat shield for the HKS air filter next was a whole lot of painting fitting and cleaning and fettling making my engine bay that bit nicer!!! :angry: i was supprised how clean the cams were when i removed the rocker cover...there were a few other bits re-done like the wheel tapes but the last major thing for this update is slightly random a new interior its froma an Mitsi FTO and took a few days to fab up brackets and get them all fittedit all fitted ok in the end i used the covers off the fto's to retrim the old starlet seats with some of the sponge off the fto seats and a can of spray on adhesive!!! :angry: thanks for looking guys!!!Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Big_T-SR Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Excatly what Phil said, in the flesh the colour of the wheels and calipers work so much better than in photos and even then its nice. Like shelly said, it does look a little similar to mine but also different, its great!Not really a fan of the interior tho.. (don't kill me) but i must admit, it does look nicer than the standard seats.Keep it up mate.T Quote Link to post Share on other sites
