CheFinn Posted October 31, 2020 Author Share Posted October 31, 2020 Cheers Dale! Quick update, not posted anything for a few as I've been busy getting some bits sorted and ordering a bunch of parts Took the car for a clean today! First since it's blow over and put the front and back decals on. Didn't start the side ones as the weather started to get too choppy, I'll throw some pics up and I managed to grab some new front shocks as I've been putting it off for a while 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Awesome progress mate, lovely to see another one getting some love. Get the UK plates back on, it's a UK special edition car that always gets confused with a Glanza 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They're 195 50 15s, I don't know if that's what the speedlines have from factory but they fit well like you say! I'm thinking of getting 15mm spacers on the front and 20mm spacers on the rear to try flush out the arches a little more too 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
burty Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 yeah they do i may go up to 50s next time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 You’ll need extended studs I think as I looked in to it but agree it’ll really set it off Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CheFinn Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 Thank you guys! Sorry I've been on a massive hiatus as of recent as we just sorted our first house. However, the SR is still in the forefront of my mind. Dropped the car off on Tuesday for the exhaust to be made. I went with 2.25 inch straight through to an outer rolled tip with just one silencer on the muffler. It looks bloody ace while keeping some of the character of the Remus backbox, however; its far too bloody loud, so I'll be dropping it off this Monday coming to have another silencer in the mid pipe put in. I'll post the pictures below, the reasoning behind the 2.25 inch wide was to future proof the car, whether I go down the route of a full ITB NA build or decide to go turbo and run reasonable power on the efe without going daft.

CheFinn Posted December 3, 2020 Author Share Posted December 3, 2020 This also sorted out the extremely awful exhaust leak/knocking I had, whilst allowing me to now chop off the exhaust hangers someone bolted through the boot floor pan. As far as I can tell this was done to (try) to stop the midpipe and back box from knocking against the chassis. The backbox was a Yaris T sport one apparently so not the original starlet one regardless. So all in all no big loss here. Also a lot more pleasant to look at from underneath as the catalytic converter had been crudely chopped out alongside the midpipe hangers and had a crappy piece of pipe welded in place. Now we have a house the next bit on the agenda is to get the new front KYBs in and the Tein springs, as I now have my own garage to tinker in 😀 Don't hold me to my word, but hopefully I can start doing more bits regularly now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
