    Gutted for you with the white one mate but the new one looks like it's getting some awesome tlc. I had a white one for my first car and now have black. 'Williams waterless wash and wax' works a treat on mine

    Good work mate. When's the sr up for sale then?
  3. Pikey009
    Ha ha not the done thing though can't undercut you
  4. Pikey009
    Ah Bugger!
  5. Pikey009
    Is there any danger of his insurance company writing the car off?
  6. Pikey009
    Ah mate gutted for you but I guess it's getting sorted and like you said it could've been worse

    Our import process is a joke isn't it. Well I'm finishing the custom rails next weekend so fingers crossed!

    eBay- set myself a budget but really wanted it so went quite a bit above. It's nothing too special really just I'm a bit of a geek and have been after one for a long long time. I've got ones for Impreza rb320, gb270, Corolla wrc tte, celica gt4 and a few others.

    Thought this deserved to be on here

    Got a present in the post today, been after one for ages and probably overpaid for it but I've got a thing for sales brochures and these are rare. I'll add it to the collection!

    Russ is making me a set of levin twin pots and I've got some braided lines already. Some may call it overkill but it's just future proofing and even with literally no power in my sr it'd be nice to have the confidence in the brakes! The lights havnt grown on me and I'm selling them to my mate at work for his glanza. They'll look much nicer on that and I'm staying retro ish.

    That's a very lucky score then as I heard they're crazy expensive to import

    Well I'd definalty say that getting it on the road and enjoying it is in order I think you'll have bags of fun. Even though I've got no power at the moment I love driving the sr, just puts a smile on my face

    Ah I'm not on fb. Still in the middle of fabricating some custom frames- should be finished next weekend cars coming along nicely mate

    Ha ha it's like any project I guess you just keep finding more things you want to do. If I had a spare 5k I think I could blow it on the car in a couple of days easily. Not surprised you lose a bit of drive now and again as it seems like you've had a few obstacles a long the way. Are you going to be the first person on here to try the longer final gear mod?

    Thanks for the nice comments. I kind of like the retro look though and that's why I left the ambers on the front. I think they'd look ok if I didn't have any stickers or bump strips. I'll give them a couple more days but it would be 80 towards my brake set up lol. Got to get the brakes on and a few more suspension tweaks then paint the front and rear bumpers and finally I'll get to the bay a bit more!

    Are you getting your seat rail from JDT?
  18. Pikey009
    So weird I fitted my fears yesterday exactly the same, removing mine tho as I don't think they suit the sr. Good progress mate you're getting over these hurdles well
  19. Pikey009
    I've been looking at the car today and I just think the lights look too much for the back end. If it was a glanza it'd look good but I'm not sure it suits the car
  20. Pikey009
    Thanks very much guys I'll have a look when it arrives and see what's what
  21. Pikey009
    Thanks for the heads up. I've got quite a few tools so should be ok. Hmm wondering where to get the hose from
  22. Pikey009
    How hard was it to fit the Corolla mani? I'm pretty compitant but just wondered if there are any 'need to knows'? Heard there's a bit of hose that isn't long enough or something. Managed to bag myself an inlet tonight on eBay. Also, I know this sounds daft but mine felt really 'laggy' (I know that's really a term for turbos) so I had a poke around and found my throttle cable was pretty slack. After adjusting it the car felt so much more responsive it was worlds apart. Worth checking on these older cars.
  23. Pikey009
    Thanks mate. Just bagged myself a Corolla inlet at last! Will be arriving this week and getting refurbed then fitted the following week
  24. Pikey009
    Yeh will be really interesting to see he results buddy. Every NA owner running a Corolla inlet on a dyno has always seen great results

    Got a TRD gearknob from him and it's lovely in great condition. Thanks very much
