Have you tried speedflow for a fitting they may be able to help. Projects looking good tho mate keep up the work

Many thanks matey Thanks matey will keepnyou posted. Im looking forward to testing the beam once complete. Rob is based in essex mate any time you want to go down just let me know and can meet you down there. Drop me a pm if you need details

After coming back from snetterton the car was really dirty so booked it in to one of my supporters R&R detailing to give it a good clean and minor detail. Came out like this Collected it last week end and it was time to order some new tyres for the ring trip on the 30th. Desided to go for the Dunlop DZ03G semi slicks from every one recommending them to me. They arrived on wednesday morning took them down on my lunch break to a mate who fitted them to the wedsports On friday evening i fitted the wedsports on to the car and started doing final checks and pack things ready. Then put her back under the cover till the trip. About a month ago i bought another 96spec bumper with a gunuine toyota splitter. Which is in all good condition hoping to fit this before the ring. With regards to the rear beam modification i spoke to a member mikey who was a great help and put all is effort in to doing me a adjustable camber beam which hes completed and got back to me. Would highly recommend mikey to deal with hes good guy and has time for people and is very straight with you. Pic at the work in progress. The Beam is now with Rob Barnard my engine builder / designer and hes going to work his magic on the beam. So more to come from this in the future. Thats it for now next update will be the nurburgring trip and hope to load up some videos

Would go for the rsr's over the ns2's and they wear really well

Agreed with mike paradas are old hat now and would never have again. Try the yokohama ad08r very good improvemnt. But if you want to go further r888 or even the dunlop dz03gs which ive gone for.

Thanks Matt thanks agin for the tank. Look forward to the refresh then. Dude Thanks matey Thanks chap Yeah i will ne interested too. Funny enough that is a picture of the underside after the sprint round it was up in the air so gave it a clean ;) Yeah im hoping to make croft so look forward to catching up with you and see the ep82 again Thanks John

After snetterton the car was taken off the road for the winter to have a underside refurb and fit a few more chassie mods. 1st things was to get the car up on axle stands and get the wheels removed and and take some body parts off to see what its like as previously done a refurb on archs but wanted to do the full underside. This went on to removing parts ready to get started on the underneath Once all the parts were removed it was time to sheet the car up ready for wire brushing and wire wheeling the underside and treat any rust which was Found. Unfortunately i did not get many pictures of doing the underside as i was covered in dirt, dust etc. While i was doing bits and pieces i desided it was time to replace the rear beam bushes with poly bushes so burned the old ones out and got the rear beam stripped ready to be powder coated along with all the other parts. While every thing was away at the powder coaters i desided to crack on and get the underside ready for when the stuff was ready. I desided to use this gear as lots of people recommened it and carried out a good few coats. Heres how it cam out looms all put back in place at this point on the front and centre of the car and centre and back of car. Bits back from the powder coaters Bits also returned from the zinc coaters I also desided to have the fuel tank blasted and painted Had to buy new rubbers for the take offs on the tank All freshed up. Few other things i ordered and had to sort before it all going back together was the following. New fromt top mounts due to the old ones were knocking New OEM ball joints and oil filer New fluids Antilift kit and soucing new bolts Rear beam bushes fitted Had my wedsports refurbed and re coated Then it was time to put stuff back together and get the car back on the floor and moving. Started with the front end Fuel tank and rear end I started filling up jerry cans of vpower to get fuel back in the tank so its ready to be started after all the fluids have been changed, brakes bled etc and got the car taxed. Had quarter of tank of fuel and after priming fuel and oil the car started 1st time and was running. I had made bookings for the 14th march to have the engine checked and the geo done all ready for the 29th for the 1st round of TSS. Well friday the 13th come to get the car ready and take it out to get a a full tank of fuel and take it back to mine for a early start in the morning. Well filled up with fuel and drove it home and put it away in the garage and when getting out the car i could smell fuel and here dripping at this point thought i was screwing as it was 10pm so got under the car and checked all take offs and gave a nip up and still pouring out. Gave it a little while and stopped and gave it all a wipe down and desided to get a friend to give me a hand. removed the fuel cap and started pouring out again and turnes out where ive had it blasted theres a pin hole very unhappy at this point and was going to cancel tomorrows works. My friend showed me a good way to temp seal the tank to get it back to be worked on at my mums. The next morning all made a few calls to toyota, starlet traders and members who were very helpfull but chose to go with the 1st person i tryed big thanks to Socks suppling me a good second hand tank and got it out to me within a couple of days. When it arrived i was worried as there was alot of surface rust on it but gave it over to my painter this time and asked him to work his magic on it and not to blast this one. This how it started and finished with the full underside pics Another reason why i went for the tank it was mint inside I was then booked in for the 28th for the engine check with Rob at PEC and he was very happy with conpression check and leak down test and inspection which was a good and no douts on anything. Next was going to TDI in thurrock for a geo set up. Unfortantly this didnt go 100% they carried out some minor adjustment on the front but they could not do a full set up due to he rear beam had toe in on the off side and toe out on the near side Whixh indicated there is somthing wrong with the beam either the beam or the beam has had a hard knock before as apears that chassie it self it ok. As we know starlet beams are not adjustable. Bit of a pain and has been on my mind since but the car has always handled so well in the pass and can not fault so had to continue and get my self ready for the morning for the 1st round of TSS. Sunday come had a nice drive up to snetterton. signed in, got scrutineerd, had briefing and as we started to que up for our siting laps it started to rain and the day just got worse with weather and track got more and more wet unfortantly the day turned in to a wash out. With not the best results i did come away with learning how the car reacts in the wet weather conditions on track and how it performs. So packed the car away and after presentations were done i set off home with a very dirty car and the sun was out and roads were dry all the way home bit to late at this point. Now my cars back its time to get the car preped and ready for nurburgring at the emd of april. Undortanly i will not be doing 2nd round of TSS as its 3 day before i go to the ring. I am also in talks with someone to make me a adjustable toe and cambered rear beam so more to come on this soon. Thats it for now

Will be awesome to see you there chap. Theres a group of about 20 of us going. We are catching the 6am ferry if not convoing then we will def catch up over there for sure. Keep me posted and il give you my number nearer the time

You will love the ring chap. Going on the weekend can be busy specialy if its bank holiday so advise to go on the track 1st thing or late afternoon for a couple of laps. If you have never been then go easy and dont push to hard depending how many laps you plan to do and what you can take in on your laps then you can push a little harder. There are alot of cars at some point on parts of the track and they can make you look like your going backwards you best to give way and let them pass. Just go out there and enjoy it you dont have to go mad. Regards to hotels ive stayed at the hotel complex overlooking the gp circuit. But where i have stayed last year and will be staying this year See below link its about 20minute drive to the ring but amazing roads and views back and fouth and some great food. http://www.hotel-wilhelmshoehe.de/index.php?site=home&lang=en Ive stayed out there 4 days at a time and more than enough time. Im heading out there 29/4 - 5/5/2015 Any more questions drop me a message
