Exhaust is back, will be fitting once my axle stands are freed up again. In the mean time i made some hose brackets for the PS lines to stop them rubbing on things. Also test fitted my cupra splitter to the reflet bumper and threw it on the car to see how it looked. Wasnt a huge fan of the bumper without but now im very happy with it just got to wait for paint! Still got to get the pump wired in, spray bumper brackets and remount bumper. Torque hub nuts stick rear bumper on then take it for MOT. once thats done will be getting arches rolled, spacers on, both sets of wheels powder coated and then i think ill be happy with it. That means time to enjoy it hopefully!!

Nice, hope mine comes out as well! Lip looks great on there too

Great to see you got your money back, This is a great advert for always paying for stuff as goods/services to cover yourself. Sometimes the 4% is a small price to pay in the long run. Like you say its nothibg to him really, ideally he needs putting on a list so anyone buying from him can see his record!

How much was it bud?

I tried my part number on my bumper and the reflet showed up as discontinued too? I swear toyotas records dont cross between dealerships haha

Yup thats the one, you might want to see if they have the next (collector/downpipe) section too that bolts up to it. The o-ring gaskets between the 2 can be had from toyota for a couple of quid iirc

Should be 92-95-96ish 4efe engine. That one you posted i dont even recognise what engine thats from but its not a 4efe.

No the exhaust ports should be evenly spaced and round

You want the one that is bolted on. Your car has the one in his hand already

Can you add postage and payment details please

Can you get Some better pics up please

Thats the one, the ee100/101 cast manifold, im not sure how much better it is but its a 4-2-1 design so should help a bit.

Yeah but that is a lot of work, removing, lining up, fitting welding blendinhlg spraying etc etc. I can see where the cost goes lol

Theyre fairly hard to come by, i think the early 90s corollas came with a cast 4-2-1 manifold on the 4efe versions. 92-95 models maybe. Might be worth a quick look see what you can find will be more common and cheaper than a 5efhe one. An other option I've seen done is use a 4age 20v tubular mani, theyre 4-2-1 design. use a 4efe head flange and make the 20v mani match up. I've seen it done but not sure how much work it is but obviously some cutting and welding. The final one is RW developments (facebook) has made manifolds for the n/a that a couple of members on here have i believe. Doubt it will be cheap though.

Im always paranoid haha, they quoted £375 for pulling the rear quarter out straightening, filling and spraying incl rear bumper which my bro/his mate will be paying for haha. But to fill bump strips on my front bumper then spray it i got quoted £250 :/ go figure lol Im not sure if that includes checking out some posible rust up by my filler neck or not though.

Mine did the same on my corolla, started making a horrible grating noise, i just broke that little lip off wire brushed it then stuck the drum back on. Been like it a year or 2 now and not had an issue.

Possibly no bonnet sticker. But still, good buy for anyone with a near stock Sr

Hope the paint all goes well, mines booked in and im really not looking forward to it as its a rear quarter :/ However the guy mines going too had a nearly new 911 porsche in the workshop and he does a lot of dubs and you know what they're like for paintwork!

+1 for greenlight, were really cheap with there 1st quote and never threatened to put the price up if i rung around. Flux are f**kers like that, offer you a good price if you take it then and there but whack a premium on if you ring around and go back.

Awesome ill give that a go, i had a claybay but probably due a new one anyway plus i have no idea where it is. As for polish i got given an autoglym pack so am using the ultra deep shine stuff for darker cars from that and have a tin of Meguires wax. However i can never get the finish i like with the wax, it always seems to leave a smeary film that you can see.

Pretty sure mr2 turbo pads are the same, will have much better selection than levins 👍

Thanks for the reply, This is the car in question, uk spec starlet with factory paint still, 205 satin black metallic. With the snowfoam shampoo trick is it worth using a good car shampoo or any old stuff? as i have some Meguires stuff for my car but i also have some cheap tescos brand car shampoo for doing the rents motors with lol

I would have to agree though if your budget can stretch the ns2r's seem like a good bet, they are my current test bed tyre and once my toyos are done im gettig another pair for the front

I deffinately wouldn't say the t1r are a good tyre but i dont think the rainsports offer much more either and in my experience the lifespan of the rainsports is pretty bad too in comparison to the toyo. What car are they going on by the way?

Tried t1r's and rainsports and i dont think theres much difference tbf. Just went up scotland round the highlands on a pair of t1r's and only on 1 wet corner that caught us out did they let slip which the rainsports might have faired better on. But cost/wear rate the t1r is better imo. I've got ad08s on my other car and they are noticably better but do require heat and are top end of your budget, great fast road/track tire though. I've now got a pair of ns2r's on an 86 sidewall with the harder 180 compound but cant comment on them yet as theyre on the rear, but people are comparing them to the ad08s however im not sure what compound they were comparing, as mine were 58 but the softer sidewall and compounds are 68 and 73.
