^^^thanks mate......plenty more to come!

Manifold...... Rad hoses (slimy green bay theame) And 3 hours elbow grease and 3 days of grey snot later (use a face mask if you clean your rocker cover!)

After stripping out the back every little road noise and suspention clunk is magnified (kinda like it though!) but one morning on the drive to work i noticed a knocking noise faintly through the pedels, it got worse over the next few days and i shit myself convinced the drive shaft was fucked........long story short and red faced i have to admit it was the mid-section of my exhaust twating against its hanger (knobhead) but it gave me an excuse to get the front of the car up and have a good old sticky beak...... Same weekend as all this was going on i had arranged to meet snails ep91 over in Portsmouth (he drove from Kent or something, good man that he is!) to pick up an engine....... Exhaust system thats sort of a frankenstein of bits with a Glanza backbox in pretty bad condition but this was a bit of a just chucked in deal with the Hotshots manifold you can see on the engine! SUPER STOKED on finding one of these!!! i'll get a photo up, giving it a bit of a clean up but am considering heat wrapping it when it goes into the car......Any one know if it's worth doing? i'm gonna run a BMC CDA filter so want to keep the bay as cool as possible? Also picked up an uprated exedy clutch and all for a good price but got stung on the ferry over from the Island £76 and was only over there for 3 friggin hours! This was a bonus though, my rad was shot away and i managed to get this off ebay for next to nothing.......

Next job was front quater indicator lenses (not made up on amber or clear) but for now im going clear! Out with the old.... and in with the new.... The lenses match much better than they do in the photo! Picked this mint Ultra Racing rear strut up off a breaking Glanza.... Was gonna have to start cutting up the rear plastics to get it fitted so went a step further than i had planned and ripped the back seats out and stripped some of the plastics (bit noisy!) had to take the grinder to it a little to get a fit and rounded a nut.....so after cutting that off and replaced, it was in!

Just spent the last fucking hour doing this thread and my computer just shat itself and lost it all.........So fast tracking what i did because im lazy! My wheels were fucked so better wheels...... 1 white one, 1 silver one and 2 green ones! The best one below is sitting in as my spare (when the others are sprayed up i'll pick the best of the OG's for a set of 5 good'uns!

Any idea when payment needs to be made?

Cheers boys.....its a "Hotshots" manifold i got off snails ep91 its in need of a little clean up but apart from that its in a well sound condition! You got it Amjad and no dont worry the "rat" name only really came about because of a few dodgy rust spots on the drivers door,wing and bonnet, oh and a hole in the boot. Wanted to concentrate on the handling mods as a priority so the body work will probs be the last thing that gets any money chucked at it....hence "SR Rat"! Lots more to post....ill try and update over the next week!

I've owned my little SR for a while now, only really got it as i was looking for something cheap to run but not completely boring after i sold my beloved Hilux. Started looking online for an SR because i'd always liked the look of them and after owning a Daihatsu Charade GTti years back i knew the Japanese had the rite idea with little gocart style hatchbacks and being used to Toyota build quality it seemed a logical choice! Long story short is i found one all the way over in Weston Super Mare (im on The Isle of Wight) took a gamble payed a deposite for them to hold it for a week for me (it was being sold at a dealership as a part ex) and bowled down the following weekend and picked it up! I knew it had covered 140,000 miles but i was pretty pleased with the condition of the car (and with ideas of a sleeper creeping into my head) i handed over the best part of £900 and headed for home! The most evident thing while driving home was how shit the front seats were so after a chat with a mate i managed to get hold of some Imreza seats for £30 and we got them welded in one freezing evening! As i mentioned i was half toying with the idea of building (with the help of a mechanic friend) a ratty looking sleeper with a Glanza lump chucked in so when these bad boys popped up on ebay i grabbed them! BIG ASS BRAKES!!! The car is a daily so its pretty much just been getting me to work and back each day but im loving it and the plans have evolved a bit since the early days of ownership (some insurance nightmares and the electrical headfuck involved in a conversion prompted the hunt for a low miled 4efe) which im currently cleaning up while i try and source various other bits and find the odd hour to actually work on the car.........but more to follow!

^^^Dito^^^

Sorry dude been a long day, i even re read it and still missed that GLWS

Got glanza seats too....doesn't it?

Pm'd mate Pm'd mate

Nice mate, I'm actually a bit of a fan of matt black! Lol where do I start....might have to be a list: New recon low mileage 4efe engine Lightened flywheel Exedy clutch Corolla inlet mani Hotshots 4-2-1 exhaust Straight through custom exhaust Big breaks off a celica Coilovers Anti-lift kit RARB Rear strut C-pillar bar Tein front strut brace Glanza bum 98 spec glanza rear lights Full lime green hose kit Bigger alloy race rad Bmc cda air filter (with some custom pipe work) Pos cage at the rite price, more for looks than function! Probs missed some bits but 90% of it is sourced and sitting in my bedroom lol Oh and after reading through your thread, bushes, mounts and sort the headlights! Hopefully all done for Japfest?😅

Just spent the best part of an evening reading your thread start to finish.....I'm currently in the process of doing a similar build with an SR (build thread very soon) and just want to say props man, you've built urself one minty n/a.....absolutely love the white wheels! Good luck with the GT buddy!

Daihatsu charade GTti........that is all!

^^^^^can you drop me a message before you do bud? Cheers joe

Jdm meets silence of the lambs.....

Hey mate......this wasn't the pic i was thinking of but looks interesting! Love the baby blue manifold

Anyone got any pics of their bays fitted with the above filter...seem to remember seeing one with a custom alloy build and looking for ideas? Cheers in advance Joe

Ladyboys? 😘

Type breaking bad custom Lego into google pics!

Justified is worth a watch too......and Deadwood! Met some guys in New Zealand that were bang into ice......not good.

Amazing.....can't wait for the final season! Check out Boardwalk Empire if needing a new series to start?

So this kit includes the rad pipes? Already had some bought.....because most kits don't include them! Even better value for money than I thought! They are a slightly different bends though?

That's a reasonable price GLWS!😊
