  1. Yes!!! And she's in good hands too You going to keep it stock, preserve it?
  2. Is it a Mk3 tailgate? If so, can I have the Toyota emblem and whatever's needed to attach it?
  3. Fantastic update mate, was wondering about a week ago what had happened to this, a lot it seems! Keep it up!
  4. You on about the 'scraper' seal that runs along the bottom of the window? Best bet would probably be Toyota, but I remember them being a tad expensive.
  5. Well, this is long overdue an update. We sent back the gaskets to Athena, and they said that there was a small problem with them, but not to the extent that it would be pissing coolant out. Anyway, they sent us back another one, and while that initially did leak a little bit, my mechanic lapped the surfaces out by hand and it started to get better and better. In the end we decided to leave it on and see if running the engine would help seal it, which it seems to have done. Coming up to 500 miles into my running in with absolutely no coolant or oil loss, another 500 to go! In other news, as I
  6. Oh my god do want. If I had stacks of money, I'd get one and make it to the same spec mechanically as the Spoon one. Pure track slut. >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJiY8adHCFQ
  7. Aren't those wheels supposed to be fairly sought after too? or are they just the JDM equivalent of Halfrauds own? Shame you've had to do all of that fucking around though!
  8. Could you get that roof any dirtier? Looking good scutch! And as scene roofracks are, at least you're properly using it! Looks well too with the stickerbombing I have to say
  9. What does the icon look like when you start up your internet browser? Is it a blue 'e'?
  10. I had this problem a lot with the parents laptop, back when they were using IE What browser you using?
  11. Still sticking with the CT9 for now, at 0.8 bar. After getting a replacement h/g back from Athena, we're still having issues with it not sealing, mainly in the centre of the block, towards the front of the engine (need to confirm this). He had slight improvements by lapping the faces down by hand to get it smoother, but at the end of the day we still have sealing issues, yet his old Athena gasket from his own GT seals absolutely fine. Only reason we're not using that is because there's a blow between two cylinders. Because I just want the car back on the road now, we've decided to chuck a st
  12. You on drugs lol? That's what MAKES the wheels imo, touring car as fuck. Love them.
  13. Looking good mate, keep at it! What are the 'bullet' wheels you were on about by the way? Not heard of them before.
  14. As I said on FB, I fucking hate you, end of. Can't wait to see what you do with them and how they'll look!!
  15. I'll take a pair of black ones Socks. Crimbo pressie from my parents, but they don't know yet
  16. Quick little update. Engine was basically done and in the car a week ago, but Chris (my mate doing the work for me), found that coolant was pissing out of the front of the engine. After a lot of investigatory work, and taking the block to three different machinists, we've now come to the conclusion that all machine work is fine and correct. The culprit seems to be the new Athena headgaskets that we've been using. It seems that the beading around the bores and oil and water ways are just not sealing at all. Chris tried his several year old Athena gasket, that sealed absolutely fine, as did a
  17. I am seriously tempted. These should fit UK import sized plates right?
  18. - Luther - The Wire - Sopranos - Boardwalk Empire ... are some recent ones that I've loved. Boardwalk and The Wire are still ongoing, Luther has just finished season 2, and I think they're now going to do a film or two continuing it. EDIT: and as gay as it may sound, loving BBC's 'The Paradise'. :p
  19. Bit of a shame, but you'll have it sorted soon
