I've got some TRD Springs which are approx 20mm, not quite as low as your after, i'm local to you however This is how Jess's SR sat on them on 14" wheels

Don't think Halfords go upto 32mm, I ended up going on ebay as mentioned above

Haha will do dude, however the wheels will never be for sale bud Couple updates from the bank holiday Trawling through bits n bobs on ebay Jess came across an OBX R Exhaust Manifold for sale, a few messages were batted back and forth and it turns out it was from Drongo Boi on here that used to be fitted to Carlas SR. A deal was done and on Sunday we took a road trip upto Mansfield to go collect said manifold Was awesome meeting Matt (Drongo Boi) and his family and his dogs haha! Was good to meet some Starlet enthusiasts with 3 of them on the driveway haha! While we were rattling Matt mentioned about he wanted GT seats for Carlas SR, she had MR2 seats fitted and found they sat a bit low, I asked Jess to sit in them and see what she thought to the MR2 seats, Jess liked them and to cut a long story short we ended up swapping seats too lol! So Jess now has MR2 seats fitted. Love the fact they sit a little lower! Just need to give em a clean up but besides that they're awesome! and as stated we also grabbed that awesome OBX manifold too So today we got around to fitting it up. Along with the Manifold was provided a mid section which we ended up using, with this fitted up the car and midbox got deleted. I was a little dubious thinking this was gonna make the car sound stupidly loud however the SR still sounds civil but now sounds awesome it's got a lovely little trumpety rasp to it as you accelerate and the revs sweep up the clocks far quicker than the original setup! It's really freed the engine up alot! You could feel it start to hold back around 5-5.5K RPM but now will ease it's way to the limiter! It also looks a hell of a lot better than the stock manifold under the bonnet now! Next up is the Rocker Cover to be painted Will have to get a vid up of how it's sounding now

Just found a couple pics amongst the Japfest2 webpage gallery

Looks like you got a bargain there bud nice one! Plans sound good! I wouldnt have thought you'd gain anything with the MR2 TB but like you say theres no harm in experimenting

Your dad really is awesome haha! Looking forward to seeing the progress with this!

Cool pics! Thanks for the pic of Jess's! (Black one one polished Enkeis on the Slambox stand) The track pictures look good! That White Primera looked real cool out on the track! I spotted a couple of the '82's out there, sounded awesome!

Thanks guys it's getting there slowly! As mentioned above one of the next areas we're working on is the engine bay, a friend of ours gave Jess a few purple dress up washers we fitted them along the slam panel and got Jess into the full swing of things so while at Japfest we bought some "Racecar parts!" Lol! General colour theme will be purple and black so we bought more dressup bolts, new oil cap and a clean breather filter as the old one was tatty! Also today we picked up some purple graffiti paint in preperation for the rocker cover! So today after finally recovering from the stupidly early morning yesterday we made a start fitting the new dressup bolts. Jess figuring out how to use a left handed Allen Key And how the bay currently looks: We also picked up a TRS towstrap for each of the cars while at JF2 so fitted Jess's today So there's the starting point Engine will be getting degreased and cleaned up, rocker will be getting painted purple, we have new stainless rocker nuts and stainless timing cover bolts in the post so we'll see how it's looking after that I think a 'rolla manifold is definately in order! Also thinking of making up a heatshield for the tatting looking exhaust manifold! A nice 4-2-1 would be nice but they're big monies unless anyone knows to a decent alternative?

UKSO stand looked great! Genuinely one of the best tbf looked well placed out and organised! Jess picked up a few insperational ideas for the SR from it anyway so thanks! Jess' s was on the Slambox stand along with Michael Harringtons white SR

Couple from Japfest yesterday on our Slambox stand Side by side with Michaels stunning white SR. They contrast well together Picked up a few underbonnet stuff to start tarting up the underside

Hope the weather holds out for it tomorrow! I'm well looking forward to having a nosey at the UKSO stand! Jess's SR will be on our Slambox stand

Quick update. Finally got Glanza reverse lights wired up Also tinted the old reverse light which tidies up the back end massively IMO! No pictures as yet but slowly starting to work on cleaning under the bonnet. Now just to spend this evening cleaning the cars ready for JF2 tomorrow!

Arrrr hey dude your glanza looks bang on if you see a red MX5 with a Slambox sun strip or a black NA Starlet give us a thumbs up

Saw you today about 4ish? Coming off Portabello island down the keyway, looked spot on! Was in my MX5 heading the other way but I think my partner Jess (Black SR) has spotted you before too so i'm guessing a local?

Thanks guys! Yer well tbf there was a stickerbombed "Grip Royal" style wheel on Ebay but it was just too pricey then we came across this one which suits the car far better than I can imagine the other would have done! Yer haha if it's a fake its an extremely well done fake lol! It feels great! Think we're gonna make a start cleaning under the bonnet next as we've just started on my MX5 lol!

I'll more than likely take mine, haven't used it in a while tbf lol! What you got bud? I've got a TT01 nothing special but it's good fun

My origin is Griffo20022 dude yer s'all about the 64player battles haha!

Also playing this on PC it's awesome! I made the jump from Bad Company 2 so can't compare with 3. BC2 was amazing though

Very cool! Thanks for the share dude! Dean i'm guessing Abec3 or 5 skateboard wheels will do the job?

Thanks! I'm not entirely sure what Momo it is or even if it's a genuine Momo! I don't think it is in all honesty! If it's not then fortunately the quality of it is still very good and doesn't feel flimsy like some replica wheels

Yer I defo reckon the JR's will look cool with the vinyl'd wing!

Thanks dude yer its defo not your usual gearknob lol!

So this landed today! Also ordered a boss up which arrived Saturday, for an ebay special I was very surprised at how decent the quality of the boss was! Well machined with a decent connector for the horn and came with appropriate contact ring and a nice Toyota horn button too! A Momo button came with the wheel too but me and Jess both agreed on the simpler toyota button to go in place So tonight we cracked on and got the wheels swapped over. I just need to sort a horn brush for the slip ring and an SRS bypass setup for the airbag light And a quick pic repping the UKSO flag:)
