Rich, it seems to tie the sides and centre of the car as one so when u go round a bend the car moves as one and chassis doesnt flex, felt good going round onto the M23 to Gatwick

c-pillar bar is fitted mate, i ended up cutting the panel around the brace points, looks far cleaner than if I had done it the way you had, because underneath mine isn't painted lol

ill get some pics up when I can see lol

Been quite a busy week, last sunday i got the c-pillar in and thought that made a surprising difference to the handling of the car...

then this weekend, myself and Rick fitted the Whiteline rear ARB, erm wow - handling on rails isnt even close! You need one of these!

in the process, I also de-meshed the jam bumper, but im not sure i like it, either way it had to come off because i would need black in there, what do u guys think, what doesnt show up well in the picture is what u can see under the hole

Received these little beauties through the post on friday too, so my Weds are wearing some rather snazzy caps now

and one last thing, took apart my K24 kit so that i could wrap the mani, didnt get round to it time wise, but did end up painting the exhaust side black and intake side silver, looks so much better and the K-series turbos are so easy to take apart

We also neatened (taped) up all the connections and the extra harness for the injectors, nice way to save £80 for someone else to do it lol

Winter is here and the wheels are changing again, the Weds are back on with new centre caps tho

DSC02001.jpg

DSC02000.jpg

the rear ones need spacers, because the hub popped em straight out, not to worry they are ordered lol

DSC02002.jpg

the Rays are off until next summer, but i leave them with a parting gift, some new centre caps too so gone are the brassy caps here are the mock cf Volk racing ones sitting in the wheels, gna give the wheels a good wash before they go away

Right the TRD window switch surround are in...

TRDdriver.jpg

and i think im gna change the real cf centre console for the TRD one, think it will look better overall, so i need some buttons so i can sell the cf centre console please

Secondly, also got the Blitz fire controller in, was gna put it at the end of the foot well, but carpet got in the way, so instead it is now under the passenger seat, heres hoping i never have to use it!

forgot to say that i got these 15mm hub-centric spacers too from US ebay, not as well built as the H&R ones on the front but they didnt do em with their own bolts, should give a better stance at the rear now tho

Think im gonna take it to a garage, so they can get it on the ramps and adjust my Cusco panhard rod to pull the RHS back in, may still need the arches rolled though

Happy none the less

Second update in a day, went and picked up mine and Ricks rocker cover (ill leave pics of his to him lol), but here is mine powder coated in anthracite (RAL7016)

Im pleased, not sure whether to face off the horizontal lines and Toyota type tho, maybe not going on yet so we'll see

DSC02056.jpg

PCV valve and standard outlet have been removed and replaced with welded-on aluminium AN10 connections, to route them all to my catch can

hopefully this should be the lot for that fuel rail now!

DSC02086.jpg

So that 2x 90 an6 bends for the route to the rrfpr and one adapter for when it gets there, two straight an6s to go to the fuel filter and one adapter for that to tie it all up, didnt want the red and blue one but its right at the back so im not fussed, same with the steel adapter, with about 50cm of pipe to cut to size for the two sides of the rail.
