  1. Yep i will be about. I may be going to the Trafford centre meet if i get everything sorted in time and that is at 2pm. I'll PM you my number so you can ring me on Sunday to check im at home. Bourkey
  2. @ Rick - Yeah i saved your phone number in my phone when you sent it me. Thanks a lot. As for the corners, they do look a bit tight but i looked iside the tube and they don't look as sharp at all. Bit more curved inside. But you are right they are still a bit angular for me. Will change them evetually. @ Galliano- Dub Se7ev cut the Mr2 mounts off and welded the Starlet ones on. I might get someone to do it for me but it is relatively easy. Getting excited now. About 24 hours to go. Bourkey
  3. I couldn't kick a ball if it was the size of a planet. Im really crap. trust me. Anyway im looking forward to this a lot now. It is just after i come back of holiday and just after payday Bourkey
  4. I've picked them Halfrauds ones up before. They weight about three times the weight of what mine weigh. As for the wheels I like the white or the bronze ones. They both look yummy!!!!! Bourkey
  5. Thanks. Im just hoping everything will go smoothly. Doubt it will but i can hope!!! Bourkey
  6. Yeah that is gonna be sorted in a few weeks probably. Im just concentrating on getting it in before my N/A packs in on me. It's not healthy at all right now as i haven't looked after it since September really. Plus the oil light is on now as well so i must be running on virtually no oil. It will be comical if it seizes up on me. Oh well 4EFTE tomorrow so no worries. Im picking up all the special tools for the swap later like the engine lift, low entry trolly jack and axle stands. I doubt i will sleep tonight as im so excited now. Nearly a years worth of planning and it all comes together tomorrow. Bourkey
  7. This is the reason i never had an update in months too. Just waiting and more waiting!!! Bourkey
  8. you get off at the junction after the one at chillfactore and you can get to the car park if you keep going left. It's at the back of John Lewis. You can't miss it as 90% of the time it's empty. Or you could meet me and Markoos in Bury and us three can go together. If my engine is done. If not i'll be with Markoos if he isn't bringing anyone. Bourkey
  9. I know. I've got a few good bargins recently but they are my favourite i think. Really comfy like you said. All the adjusters work as well. That back box on the left is the one your having Idrees as well. Found out today we also have a few friends in the garage in the form of a wasps nest. My dad is gonna try and get it sorted for the weekend though. Bourkey
  10. ^^^ Sorry i didn't ring you back. I had to go straight out after you spoke to my girlfriend. As promised i have the pictures of how all my stuff looks. Firstly my £10 seats. not bad at all are they. Then there is my £1.24 exhaust system. yet again. tidy for £1.24 Then a radiator i got for free. Not the greatest condition but it's is a thousand times better than the one i have now, which has done 95k. And then there is the lovely pictures of my engine with the FMIC attatched. And this is my garage now. I put my tyres on the car so they are now out of the way and it's just all this to go. Hope you likey as much as me. Bourkey
  11. Yes the seats were a tenner!!!! They are mint too. they were covered in crap as they were in a garage for yonks but a good scrub and blast and they are as good as new. Im not at home at the moment but i've got some lovely jubley pictures i'll put up. Bourkey
  12. Cheers guys. I'll get some pictures in a short while as im just leaving work now. Bourkey
  13. Ended last Sunday. All systems go for the car park right at the back. It's on THIS picture if you need to see. It's the one furthest to the right. Let me know if you dont know which one. We shouldn't be hassled there but there is still a chance we will be. PLEASE REMEMBER TO BE ON YOUR BEST BEHAIVOUR!!!!!!!!
  14. Yeah and we can get donuts!!!!!!!! ;) I am being serious though i love donuts. Thats sounds a good plan. Where do you go to get into it? Bourkey
  15. ^^^ About £130 and handling is mint!!!! Hi all, Not updated this in a good while again. I have no pictures yet as i'll put some up tomorrow. Every part except the power steering pipe has arrived. That should be arriving on Friday from Jay. The front mounted intercooler arrived yesterday and it's pretty dam smart. It's the second generation Autobahn ones where the BOV pipe is near the throttle. I test fitted it all to the engine yesterday and it looks fantastic. I've now got the exhaust system as well. It's a standard Glanza one. I know the brackets dont match up but i'll fix it on somehow. It cost me a massive £1.24 from ebay. Picked it up from just up the road from me as well. I was well chuffed. I offered the backbox too it for free as im keeping the one i have for the time being. The next set of goodies were my mint MR2 mk2 turbo seats. I also picked them up for a massive £10. I had to have them as i'd seen them in Dub Se7en's car and they looks mint. Dead comfy as well. Whilst i was waiting for all my parts to arrive i also took the cat off and gutted it. I will be getting a de-cat in the future but this was just a cheap alternative for the time being. Whilst i had the cat off i thought i may as well port the wastegate a little. I didn't do it tons but i did enough. I then used a dremel kit and polished the inside as well. The big swap will be starting on Friday afternoon. Im finishing work early to start but i've got a week off incase any problems arise. I have all the help i need now. Loads have either offered physical help or given me their number incase im stuck. Im super excited about it now, and i'll update you as i go along. Bourkey
  16. Yep your right Kelly i was there that time. I told Markoos last night what happened. We were going to use that car park right at the back (the one you mentioned) but i went on Sunday and there is a huge circus there. I don't know how long it's gonna be there but it's there now. So any ideas from people attending would be great. Cheers Bourkey
  17. by the way there is a huge circus in the john lewis car park at the back. Where now??? Bourkey
  18. That is so clean and nice it's unreal!!! Good luck wiv it mate Bourkey
  19. Yeah i meant Rick. Whoopsie doodle. I'd have them bits off you for the front end Rick but a holiday is my priority unfortunatly.Oh well. Bourkey
  20. I think they are sealed. Why do you want to take them apart?? By the way i think has got everything you need for the front end conversion you are halfway through doing. PM him and sort it out you bulb. ;) Bourkey
  21. I just got some MR2 Turbo Mk2 seats for a whopping £10!!! Cleaned them up and they are like new. Obviously they need a little work to get in though. Bourkey
  22. Welcome to the club buddy. I'll let you know if i spot a decent SR for sale. I know how hard it is to find the SR you want. Took yonks to find mine. Bourkey
  23. Mint car mate. Looks really good. :angry: ps. Did you not see the sign behind you??? Bourkey
  24. Cheers for the comments guys and like Mark said we are proud of them. Well until i dropped one of my Fecking wheels today and chipped the front of it. I am a BULB!!!!!!!!!!! Bourkey
  25. Well after spending a whole day on Mark's car it is completely different. He pulled up at 10.30am at my house with his bog standard Glanza begging to be modified and left at 9.15pm looking like a proper beast. The new Tein lowering springs were fitted by one of my mates who has done quite a bit of work for me in the past. The car looked fantastic when he sat it down in the garage and even better when we put the wheels on it. I also fitted some Black Diamond brake disks for Mark, which look pretty smart behind the new rims. I also spotted that he has had his restriction in 1st and 2nd removed by the previous owner, Razo gear knob, and a HKS actuator. It looks amazing now and we even had a photoshoot as well (look in the photoshoot section). Anyway here are some pictures of what it now looks like. Mark wont stop grinning now. i'd be the same.
