Ah mate it does look better without them but it’s your car. Cars looking lovely, never considered that wheel. I was really lucky when converting the sr interior and managed to get a full 98 spec in really good condition. God knows why they didn’t do it from the factory and whack a 1.5 under the bonnet

Hi, car looks really good and great to see what you have done.

 I have just bought a 1.3 Sportif .

 I don’t know much about the cars but am I right in thinking mechanically there isn’t much difference between the Sportif and SR.

could you tell me what springs and dampers you have on your car as I will be using mine at my local Hillclimb.

 Thanks

Brilliant build mate. I see you pulled the arse out on a Celette bed, did you build all the brackets up for that?? I thought at first you're probs a fitter but I reckon you're a beater now hahaha

Right first time mate I’m a fitter ! Didn’t need to pull it out as it’s so soft it just plenished out the bench just happened to be under the ramp😂

Power wise all uk spec ep91 are the same mate, I’m using kyb struts and top mounts with tein s springs, not too low and doesn’t sacrifice ride comfort whilst I find the setup is compliant and a lot cheaper than coilovers, thanks for the comments

Glad u kept it and are now going to put it back on the road as you don’t see many anymore, it’s a shame they’ve never really gone up in value such a good little car, I had a white one as an 18 year old apprentice at Toyota I’m 37 now 😂 but definitely saved this one from the scrapper . Get a project thread going happy to help anyway I can just fire away 👍

I will start a topic next week picking up a battery Monday fingers crossed 🤞 will start first time it got a old school toad alarm on so hopefully that won't cause any issues, first question where did you get the decals from?

I too had a white sr when I was 18! Then bought the black one a few years ago when I was 32. They have gone up in value for good ones I reckon
