  1. Thanks lads! Few more bits to be done yet
  2. Will do Amjad! not running any camber to the best of my knowledge but if it is,its minimal. The lights have been tinted since I got them but they were tinted using tint spray. Would like to do them again with tint film but they look ok so will leave em as they are
  3. Thanks Idrees!! Must get those wings from you asap
  4. Amjad,these wheels are different to the ones you were gonna buy I think. XXR 527's are the same wheels except 0 offset where as the ones I got are +30 offset! The rim sits flush with the arch now,i'll send you a pic when I get em up
  5. Sorry man!! The other wheels were wrong colour and couldn't get the colour I wanted again so opted for these instead and the fitment is near perfect!
  6. Well as some of ye may have seen,I've fitted new wheels to the GT. They're Axe wheels,similar style to XXR 527's! Running 225's on the front now with minimal catching so once my vented wings arrive,she'll be perfect. WAY more grip now,even in the wet so delighted! Must lower the back when I get the chance,but anyway,here we go.
  7. The look to be the same general shape as my lights!!
  8. I was amazed by the difference myself.haha... Theres alot of 70's over here! Friend of mine has an immaculate red one and theres a few mint ones on donedeal.ie too
  9. a 4agte would cost a small fortune but 4efte's are readily available over here And like you said,would be plenty in it! My friend was running 13.2 on the quarter mile at .8bar on a CT9 and thats at normal road conditions(don't think eniskillen has any prep'd surfaces for drag racing)
  10. I'd rather slap a 4efte into her for the tuning possibilities
  11. Well lads and ladies. Bought this back in October but the brother had it for a few months but shes back in my possession now so all is good! she is rust free,one owner from new,completely original,it even has remnants of the original service tags from Toyota. Plan is to just clean her up and drive on. Might even fit a 4efte to her at some point! Heres some pics from when I got her. Heres how she sits after a few hours cleaning. I'll update this as I work on her
  12. No engine pics at the mo man,its manky dirty! Will put up pics once I get the bay sprayed and bits polished up Ordered my wheels a few minutes ago
  13. Thanks peeps. Will post new pics once the new wheels and wings go on
  14. Thanks lads.They are 16x8 et10 with 195/45 tyres.They fit but rub fairly bad over bumps and on acceleration which is why I'll be changing them soon!
  15. Haven't updated this much so here we go. Cusco cage is fitted,so are the QSP seats,billet 265 cams. Emanage blue waiting to be fitted and mapped,rare B pillar bars and a cooling panel en route and a Zisco front strut waiting to be fitted too. New wheels will be coming soon. And before people start saying it,as much as I don't want to change them,they let the car down from a driving point of view...on acceleration she sits on her ass and rubs the arches,this happens when going over any kind of bump and hard cornering too.New wheels should give sufficient clearance so that it still fills the a
  16. Came out of a 4efte!! think its a part thats attached to the back of the turbo oil drain port! bottom line,second in from the left!
  17. Well lads and ladies! Good friend of mine is rebuilding his engine and after stripping it all,found this in his sump. Can't figure out what it is because the car was running perfectly and didn't give a spot of bother,he said hes inspected the engine and can find nothing out of the ordinary. Any help would be appreciated!
  18. I'll service it and clean the carb and see how it goes after a good rallying
  19. Well lads and ladies. Put my EP71 through the nct after it had been sitting up for years and it failed on a leaking shock and the emissions were too high. The PPM allowance was 750ppm but she was 910ppm. Any ideas how I could go about getting it down under the 750? By the way,shes a 1l carb engine!
  20. Well lads, Recently fitted cams to my car and also got the throttle body changed because she was idling funny before(blocked pipes in the base of it)but when the new one was on it was idling weird because it would go from idling normally,to sticking at 3000rpm,then back down to normal,and back up to 1500 and then conking when I'd put in the clutch whilst rolling. Because of that I decided to fit the old one again(which resulted in it idling far nicer),cleaned it all out,sealed it and fitted the pipes correctly. I've noticed that it starts fine and idles no problem when cold but when It warms
  21. getting paid friday so if i can scrape the funds together I'll get onto you man!!
  22. How much for a cooling panel and the b pillar bars delivered to Ireland.
