    It's all good in theory, but you need credit on the SIM. The SIM needs to be active else it gets cut off, this all requires power, modern phones need low voltage 5V's as opposed to the 12V system in the car. It needs to be live 24/7, depending on how often you use the car this can drain the battery. You need to guarantee it actually works, benefits of buying a product for £800 is that it's well tested. Wheel clamps and steering clamps are always a good shout. At the end of the day, thieves want it bad enough they'll take it, you're just trying to make it a deterrent and let them move on t

    I've had vehicles stolen before and know what it's like, thinking an alarm would do the trick. But personally I found it impacted my enjoyment of the vehicle more than I got security from it. Constantly worried about leave the car, for the alarm to just go off and with me nowhere to disable it. Had that a few times when coming back to my vehicle to see the alarm going crazy.

    The problem I have with car alarms. They tend to go wrong. They tend to go off for no apparent reason. People don't care that an alarm is going off and find it more of a nuisance. People don't stop thieves when the alarm is going off. Alarms can be bypassed, removed/deleted subverted. They give a false sense of security.

    No unlikely. You need a bolt on steering wheel. My advice, keep the original steering wheel in a box somewhere. Either invest in a retro looking wheel, or something that resonates with you, ultimately when you move on from this car, you can take that wheel with you. It's a nice little touch and worth spending decent money on from that perspective. I know it's heart wrenching to have your pride and joy tampered with.

    I use a snap off wheel for my car. I sleep better at night knowing the steering wheel is not in the car. I know that isn't full proof, but no system is. It's a really easy and quick thing to have. Although I believe they are no longer allowed on UK MOT's which is a shame.

    How so? You would have thought it being a Toyota it wouldn't have been so bad.

    Can I ask, why take off the ABS?

    As I said, EP91 bottle fits in the wheel arch of the EP82 chassis, with the whole already cut out in the arch, so no need to modify the chassis.

    Lovely. That's the dream right there!

    Amazing! 2002..wow car was practically brand new. Sadly r511cur is no longer on the road

    It's looking mega though Spence

    Yes the wheels are copies, but they're copies of a decent set of wheels.
  13. Calum122
    Wow! That's amazing!

    This is the problem though isn't it, the gearbox's just can't take that sustain hit. My box is starting to crunch on the stock 130bhp CT9, can't see it lasting very long running much over 250. I am still keen on the COP idea, not for power or anything, just bringing the car into the 21st century. Few other little tweaks and a nice 200bhp and I'd be happy then. Really I want an FD3 to tune.

    Engine is already forged, but I can't say I've got much desire to go big on power. It's a bottomless pit and I want to spend the money making the project unique to me. I'm leaning towards maybe a TD CT9, WEPR manifold and go externally gated. It's all thoughts at this moment in time. I don't use the car an awful lot so I'm not in it for maximum thrills.

    Beautiful build bud!

    It says member but not club member.

    Compression test? I personally wouldn't be driving it, or starting it.
  19. Calum122
    I was thinking this. So you just use a nut and bolt then?

    I only had problems because I was fitting an anti-lift kit which made everything extremely tight, plus the lower arm brace. Just meant there was no room for movement. Having them powdercoated looks the bees knees!
  21. Calum122
    MATE! I think I've probably done something very similar, I don't think it is broken, but NEVER undo the lower arms on my car. Luckily, it's powdercoated with new bushes and should not need any maintenance. But one day, I will probably need to do what you are asking!
  22. Calum122
    Yeah smart. I look forward to seeing this progress.
  23. Calum122
    Cool. I did not know that. I was just making an assumption. But happy to be corrected. Thanks.
  24. Calum122
    Yes this car is savage!

    Hi Ben, That's a very clean SR you have there!
