jonnygt Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 good to hear you have the bootlid changed...looked awful that smooth one lol Quote
stevie82 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Posted March 5, 2019 Not been on for a while or touched the sr for a while it’s been garaged away so I’m going to pick up where I left off. As I said I’ve changed the tailgate and rear lights, it also has a number plate where it should be now too. Quote
stevie82 Posted March 8, 2019 Author Posted March 8, 2019 right I fancy a bit of this so that’s what’s happening to the sr ! Just ordered a load of parts so let the fun begin Quote
stevie82 Posted March 11, 2019 Author Posted March 11, 2019 New rubber for the sprint series, went for nankank in the end. More updates to follow as parts arrive Quote
*Pete* Posted March 16, 2019 Posted March 16, 2019 good luck! was looking into that sprint series as I was interested in doing it if I could buy my old corolla back Quote
stevie82 Posted March 17, 2019 Author Posted March 17, 2019 Thanks man, I don’t think the car will be ready for the first round at cadwell which will be a shame but time and money is a factor unfortunately Quote
stevie82 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Posted March 18, 2019 got plenty of work to be getting on with. Not too sure it’s going to be ready for the opening round at cadwell park as other parts still need to be acquired. If anybody can help I need a n/a bonnet, front and rear bumper and a pair of glanza front brake pad carriers. I’ll update when the work begins, I’m gonna try and take it in to work this week and begin. Quote
rob_bower Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Great work dude glad to se you’ve saved it. Quote
stevie82 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 Thanks bud not done too much yet started the suspension to find broken original tte springs Quote
morgey Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 You wont find any tte ones but they were made by eibach so thats the closest to OEM you will get if you're still going that way Quote

morgey Posted March 24, 2019 Posted March 24, 2019 Ahh yeah Sr's had a few TTE bits 25mm drop from factory Quote
stevie82 Posted March 24, 2019 Author Posted March 24, 2019 I take it 06/98 would be the manufacture date ? Quote

stevie82 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Took the rocker cover into work and gave it a clean up in the blast cabinet and parts washer then gave it a lick of high temp paint and replaced the gasket, plug seals and pcv grommet. Also got some new suspension nuts and bolts from Toyota which were extortionate ! Quote
stevie82 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Also refurbished some rusty under bonnet bracketry and had them painted and lacquered at work Quote
stevie82 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Posted April 4, 2019 Got both the rear dampers built up today as well, the fronts are still waiting for new top mounts to arrive. I need to start bolting some of this stuff on asap ! Quote
stevie82 Posted April 7, 2019 Author Posted April 7, 2019 Bit more progress today got nsf damper fitted with whiteline camber adjustment bolt. Progress needs to and will speed up over the coming week . Quote
stevie82 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Posted April 8, 2019 rear sits a lot nicer now, still needs to settle a bit though Quote
morgey Posted April 9, 2019 Posted April 9, 2019 Looking good mate, if you ever need expensive bits from toyota, try amayama.com instead, still OEM parts and you will need part numbers first but you can save a small fortune. I got some engine mounts and ball joints last year, should have been nearly £500 from toyota, i paid £240 delivered after import tax and handling fees Quote

stevie82 Posted April 20, 2019 Author Posted April 20, 2019 got the rear decal fitted today and finished fitting the tein springs new dampers and also fitted new kyb front top mounts. Also got some glanza front callipers so they will be going on soon. More to come shortly Quote
