SiCaln Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 lickle update i'm off on holiday next thursday to Egypt, but glad to have this...HKS loom for the F-con so when I'm back I can get it mapped, it's also going to Toyota to get some little niggles related like an oil leak from the gbox and door hinges being harder than Chuck Norris!When I'm back I'm also gna address the JAM/V rear bumper as the one I have at the mo is very shabby and also the front bumper, it looks how I want it to now but I'm not great at this fibre-glassing malarkey so that will have to be remedied when I'm back - thought this had gone ok but now after washing it I can see it's cracked through the primer again, so will need this finished properly and painted up in lushnessthe sides are an odd match one is great, the other not sosigh - oh well life goes on I spose Quote
JAG Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Crazy mother trucker U've done a sexy job on it though mate x Quote

SiCaln Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 Have changed the lower arm ball joints with proper new Toyota ones, the last ones at 13 years old had sunk a bit to say the least, also my Endless discs are being skimmed at Hi-Spec and will hopefully have improved the front and rear bumpers by the end of next weeki am currently recovering from a hernia operation, so the car is off the road in mum and dad's garage while all the parts are being done, think I will also need some track-rod arms to improve the overall feel and i'm currently looking at the possibility of getting these to fit instead of buying the your bracesRHDJapanNAGISA AUTO Gacchiri Support Front Fender Brace, marked as for the ep82 but sure they could be made to fit the ep91 Quote
shorty Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 why not just buy the ones for the ep91 si from the dudes who make all the white under car braces and that, cant think of the name!!! is gonna bug the shit outta me now you know who i mean though. Quote
Daniel. Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 i just read the whole lot of your build. my god have you spent some monies! definatley worth it though, top notch Quote
SiCaln Posted April 16, 2011 Author Posted April 16, 2011 id already said i dont want the your braces, they are malaysian and are not as well made as these, just cant see why they would fit an 82 differently to a 91?thanks for your comments mate, i try lolbumpers gone today should be good when theyr back Quote
shorty Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 Let me know how you get on with em si, I'm after some fender bars too. Zisco not be able to sort something for us?? Quote
SiCaln Posted April 20, 2011 Author Posted April 20, 2011 Zisco are having a think bout the fender bars, we shall seeAs far as Jeff, he now has the refreshed discs on and brakes fully bled - front bumper should be back on saturday and have my temporary Glanza rear bumper on the car now, so should be patrolling the mean streets of Dartford again soon Quote

SiCaln Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Wow im amazingly pissed off -n got the front bumper back and it was awful, paintwork looked smart, but he had just sprayed straight over all my rough work with no further prep - so i went a little mad and actually took 98 lip off broke it back into two pieces gonna get an orbital sander tomorrow and some fibre glass strips and re make it allnot happy at all, even the crack that I couldn't get rid of was still there peaking through the paint Quote

Liam_D Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Hate bad workmanship, theres just no need for it. Take it to Ollie mate! Quote
SiCaln Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 wish i had, but Heathrow is a bit far to drive back with no front bumper lol Quote
