  1. And yes the car was up to temp before I revved it at all. next on the list is a deep clean of the interior next week and fitting the original seats. In the mean time I’m on the hunt for a ct9 power up kit and a race spec rocker set up. Still on the hunt for an intercooler kit too.
  2. So i tried to start the car and it was turning over but not firing. After too many beers writing me off the following day and a little bit of hungover research I stumbled across a thread that said the ignition module needs to be bolted to the firewall in order to provide an Earth. Mine was hanging down as it was one of the parts I’d needed to buy, I’d just plugged it in and left it hanging in the engine bay. So skeptically I bolted it to its bracket on the firewall and it started right up on the button! Chuffed to bits, no nasty noises and no leaks. IMG_5496.MOV
  3. Good to see you back mate, she will be over to you in the near future. Plans sound great, an aftermarket mani would go down well i think. Could get 10 units made
  4. Had a little re-shuffle with the cars at work, I’ve now got the space I need to work properly. I can also move the SR out of the way when I need access to the ramps. Wish I could keep both cars really.
  5. Where abouts are you taking it? And how much was it to do the underside of the Celica?
  6. Cleaned it up a bit today, got rid of the mould so I can actually sit in the car and washed the outside. Next up will be seats out, deep interior clean and then time to get it running
  7. Yeah I’ll have a look when I get 5 mins, Literally a joke to be honest.
  8. You must have parked it in a good spot to be honest. I know the door has had it but the rest looks really clean to be fair.
  9. Oh and the first ignition module arrived today, really pissed off, no correspondence from the seller- delivery was from Hermes so it says it all really
  10. Yeah just got the fine juggling act of working away Monday to Friday (where the car is but work is mental and I’m also studying for a degree In the evenings) and then on weekends back with my wife and kids away from the car. It’ll get worked on at every opportunity though
  11. Love an SR as most people know, they were never really rated back in the day but it’s great to see them getting the love nowadays. When I drive the black one around it gets positive attention. I do like the ambers on SR’s but on the silver cars I think the clears look cool. On black ones ambers are a must for me ha ha. Pleased you managed to get the Remus mate and if it rots in to dust like they all do then get a custom Box made and have the original tail pipe welded on like I did, original looks And decent sound while being strong. got to be a keeper after all these years,
  12. 🤣 thanks for the nice comments. She’s now at my in-laws over night and heading to a heated workshop tomorrow. Chuffed to bits with it to be honest
  13. Picking the car up tomorrow, it’ll then be stored in a heated hangar while I work to get it back on the road.
  14. And then this. I told myself no buying parts that aren’t essential to get the car running but they don’t come up often So I couldn’t help myself.
  15. Had a couple of things arrive today. Hopefully the final piece of the puzzle
  16. Good stuff. Yeah TD have boosted a few now which ran around 160ish i think. I looked in to when I had mine
  17. Yeah me and bean had a chat offline and realised it was the other part. He may be able to help me out so will find out Thursday. It wasn’t an eBay sale mate. I’ve claimed back from dodgy sellers quite a few times over the years but It was a breakers advertising on eBay and settled A deal through PayPal. Luckily I paid for it all properly and not as friends or family. Just waiting for them to get back to me now.
  18. Jesus, that’s the stuff I’m getting then
  19. 6 years already! I remember when you got that. His is solid, no body rust but the engine bay needs sorting as it’s crusty
  20. I’ve ordered loads of things since then, car parts, other shiz and it’s all come fine. I wouldn’t mind if he’d got back to me but I’ve had nothing so PayPal have already been told.
  21. Hmm I need to ask Connor again then as that’s not what he showed me. There is one of those with the car but he thinks it’s from a glanza, or are they the same?
  22. Forgot to load this earlier. It’s a custom downpipe that was on the car from Japan. You can see one of the cracks on it from a previous repair
