Claymore Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 I lowered mine 40mm on a combination of Tein springs and KYB excel g shocks. Just be careful because if you lower it too much more you may end up riding around on the bump stops. There isn't much travel left when lowered this much anyway. Also you said you were using KYB mounts as well, did yours fit the shock absorbers? The ones I bought for the EP91 weren't right for the car or shocks. Check my build thread for details. Quote

burty Posted July 23, 2020 Author Posted July 23, 2020 Few pics of some old service history including the first service at 3000 miles the week before I bought it and some random documents Quote
burty Posted July 24, 2020 Author Posted July 24, 2020 Today I decided to take the starlet out for the first time in 3 years I took some photos before I set off to see if the springs would settle Quote
burty Posted July 24, 2020 Author Posted July 24, 2020 Got spotted by one of my mates it's fair to say the springs did settle a little sits just right, standard seats are terrible though Quote
Pikey009 Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Awesome mate sits spot on. If you can get hold of the 98 spec glanzas, they are cracking although I had mine on custom rails that sat around 3cm lower Quote

Pikey009 Posted July 24, 2020 Posted July 24, 2020 Yeah it makes a huge difference. I’m removing the evo recaros from my gt next week but they’d need proper rails making as the ones fitted make them sit too high Quote

Pikey009 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 Yeah god knows why Toyota didn’t put a nice interior in as standard although my dads friend who was a Toyota dealer are the time seems to think the 98 interior was offered but not well advertised. And my old car doesn’t have the 98’s in anymore, Trav put the recaro fishnets in which I don’t like at all but it’s his car now. He does still have the full 98 interior but I think he’s planning to put it in his second SR. It is mint as it took me over a year to individually source all of the parts Quote
burty Posted July 25, 2020 Author Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Half of battle with these cars is finding parts was hard 15 years ago never mind now was so lucky getting exhaust absolute fluke tbh, regret not getting that tte copy lip now been in touch with idworkz definitely stopped now such a shame Edited July 25, 2020 by burty Quote
Sam44 Posted July 25, 2020 Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Yeh I've had to really network to find the lads with guarges full of ep goodies. On my build I've recently purchased a set of trd clocks for close to £400 quid. And the lad has got tte stuff trd stuff skirts splitters spoilers. Hard to get him to sell any of it. I'm off to see a Serra owner that has about 3sets of 5ehfe cams soon, but again high priced. Edited July 25, 2020 by Sam44 Quote
burty Posted July 26, 2020 Author Posted July 26, 2020 Tell me about it the lad I got the exhaust off said he's turned down loads more money for it than what I paid was such a genuine guy only let me have it as he saw my car on facebook and said it was worth selling for the right car so lucky fingers crossed il get these seats, also would pay good money for a copy lip Quote

Sam44 Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) I'm in on that definitely. I've just ordered a set of speed vision cams. Is this the MR2 MK3 roadster steering wheel. I'm after 1. Edited July 27, 2020 by Sam44 Quote

Sam44 Posted July 28, 2020 Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Thanks. Tidy seats, you won't get more JDM than GTturbo seats. Edited July 28, 2020 by Sam44 Quote
