Lol ohh no I won't touch the genuine one for that very reason. If it was already off then it would be perfect to make a mould from obviously, but I'll make a mould from the replica one Edited September 2, 2020 by Trevstar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know of 3 but that’s it. I ordered some bits and bobs but just need to find the time to fit them. Got hold of a rocker so that’ll be getting sent off to dean soon and I’m going to start working on the brakes so that I can get the car driving around Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Claymore Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Just noticed that the top mounts are mounted to the strut towers 180 degrees out. The screw with the arrow should be in the rear tower hole. This pushes the "hump" part of the mount to the back of the tower opening to have the correct caster geometry. "hump" at back of tower opening. Edited September 19, 2020 by Claymore Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burty Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 (edited) Not a lots happened with the SR last couple of weeks been tight with time few parts to fit / respray when I get a few hours, did manage to take one of the other cars out though for an hour selling this one in the new year once the SR is finished, its immaculate only 63k shame to see it go not had a single issue with it toyota really made fun cars in the 90s early 2000s Edited November 15, 2022 by burty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Yeah they are nice but always packed the punch for me. My dad had the 190 but the car just seemed really heavy. He then had the corolla compressor after that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I’d love to drop one in an SR, if I’d kept my old one then that’s what I’d be doing I think, nice reliable NA power. I’d also like to Whack a rotrex kit on a corolla compressor but I’ve only got the money for one project at a time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted October 5, 2020 Author Share Posted October 5, 2020 Right so I've had an annoying clunk on the suspension and it is indeed the kyb topmounts first off as Claymore said in a earlier post they are slack and secondly the 4th nut fouls the upper spring cup and you can clearly see where its been damaged fortunately I saved the old ones as Claymore gave me the heads up I'm posting this to save people the hassle maybe we got a duff batch who knows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
