  1. aye looked at the green trs's but they weren't the right colour of green and then thought if i was going harnesses i might as well use takatas. no complaints at all awesome harness and great ease of use with the twist cam lock buckle. simple to get out of simple to get into great. thanks for the good comments. just need to get the defi gauges bought now to fill the centre section ive made for the gauges.

  3. thanks guys i have anodised blue rays engineering wheel nuts coming for them as well but they are taking their time coming lol. but oh well they will look immense when they do get here. also fitted an adjustable whiteline arb, tein edfc moved my heater controls and still have to fit my seats i got. might show yahs a preview maybe hehe.

    japanese lowering springs unsure of make

    5 zigen miracle fireball cat back exhaust

    now spent way too much on it don't really wanna count it up and how much i still have planned to spend on it but hey its better than pissing the money up against the wall :)

  5. especially over here you really gotta slow down as the roads are crap, big puddles dark nights makes for some interesting driving techniques lol best to drive with a spotter hehe. but yeah i agree know thy cars limits and should the shit hit the fan you should be in a greater position to deal with the situation. i learnt the ep driving craft in an sr starlet less power, learning about lift off oversteer and speeds and conditions that cause it. now more power but the lift off oversteers the same so its easier to know how the car will react to inputs just my two pence.

  6. i have plans that involve a custom ap racing 2 pot caliper setup for the rear with ap bias controller.... they match too. yes the parts mostly came from mc chu it was to hard to refuse. car had a funny knocking sound for 3 days. thought it was the front right strut so with mc chu i wasnt very happy at all. also the brake disc was warped so didnt fit kind off so was further annoyed. to cut a long story short got the discs skimmed fitted em and all was awesome. around the same time i sourced the knocking sound. the drivers side engine mount bolt had worked itself loose and the engine was able to move. fixed that straight away. knocking noise went away. expensive repair trip to tein averted to say i was happy was an understatement!!! the car now brakes like theres no tomorrow and handles really really well. just a few more bits to do and the handling will be completley sorted. going to concentrate on interior safety now and get that sorted.

    One more thing what size of samco bends do i need to fit my hks filter facing air in bumper any help guys......then i can get rid of efi pipe.

    WOULD LIKE TO OFFER A VERY PUBLIC APOLOGY TO MC_CHU. PARTS ARE FANTASTIC.

  7. nah dude. mines been in since end of april a guy from newtownabbey brought her in, yours looks sexy though too. came in as a wee standard example with cat back lowering springs and both splitters from toyota. since then changed a few bits lol. where you from junior g? never know where in the country ill be. the other night after i got the jam fcd fitted i took a notion and went on a lap of lough neagh.... yes really.

  8. well its been a while since my last update. its not that im lazy or anything.... but here goes. changes since last update are fitted tein mono flex coilovers, ap racing four pot 293mm brakes (mental stopping power), orc 309d single plate clutch, my jam fcd and a carbing three point front strut brace. to say there is a differance is an understatement. handling, stopping and go power is sooo much improved.

    but i shall show pictures for you picture whores out there. ;)

    Few pictures of the brakes. forgive the dirtyness. took her for a test run before pictures where thought of. sorry ;)

    Since the last time i updated i tidied up the engine bay a little bit. theres still quite a few things to be done. few bits have a date with a matte black spray can. carbing oil catch can still has to be fitted. have to relocate the air filter to bumper to get rid of the efi pipe and clear a place for the catch can. any help as to what samco bends i need to mount the filter face on to oncoming air much appreciated. red intercooler joiners and a few more bits to be hidden along with a few mikalor clamps to use not to mention the polished inlet manifold and black throttle body. roll on good weather.
