Galliano Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 if ever Pav's staying in Taunton on one of the weekends that the meet is, and would be returning to Taunton after, il beg for a lift (cant drive - gaaay).where abouts was it in Taunton? As the only GT i see regularly in the town is a black one that is on a farm near by, and driven by someone who doesnt look to be enjoying the loud exhaust (which this afternoon as i passed it sat in their yard of the farm, looked to be the exhaust being propped up by the ground - dangling off in other words :/ )give me a shout before you come down, would be good to meet someone off here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwales_tuner Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Nahh the guy i bought it off wrote it off ages ago, you may remember him of TGTT forum, he was in a multistorey car park and it closed on him, so he went to go out and they had put a big steel bar accross the ramp, and it was out of line of vision, and he smacked straight into it, demolished the roof of his ep82. ;)Will be in touch mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Awsome !!!Glad you got the bonnet in the end mate!!Should be able to get that sunstrip sorted for you mate let me know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 what bonnet did you get in the end? also about number plate...dont have one, its the same fine for having an illegall one, as it is for not having one atal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Can't you just leave the numberplate on the dashboard so it shows through the windscreen? If you get pulled just say "it fell off and I haven't had a chance to put it back on yet". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southwales_tuner Posted December 31, 2008 Author Share Posted December 31, 2008 Right its been a while since i noted anything down in here. Nothing really exciting has happend with the GT. The front brakes went completely the other day so had to fork out £90 on a new set of discs and pads, i wanted some grooved ones and ebc pads and a set of braided lines but couldnt afford it at the moment so ive gone with a set of standard discs and pads.Unfortunatley things have been going wrong with the GT and bad bits coming to light that i wasnt told about (Tazo uve got alot to answer for pal ;) ), turns out it needs new dampers all round. So im going to get a set of coilovers second hand asap. The door seals have gone, so has the heater.Bits fitted and work done recently:OMP suede deep dish steering wheel and boss fitted.Relocated CD player to ashtray/lighter slot instead of in the double DIN slot.Items bought:New front disc's and a set of front pads - In process of fitting but collecting some new caliper bolts tomorrow so i can crack on with the drivers side.Toyota forlife coolant - collecting from main dealer tomorrow along with my new caliper boltsAny way, here she is in all her glory, sorry for the poor quality was taken on my phone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 Slow but steady progress there bud, sorry to hear about the "faults" get in contact with him (hes gotta atleast be decent? n throw you a bundle towards your chosen set up and what not, im guessing the levin you swapped is still as sound as). Loving the volks ever thought of getting some lower profile tyres? would look much better imop.s how much did the hoses set you back? i`ve always thought the bottom rad pipe is long but funk me! look at it ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwales_tuner Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 UPDATE: Small update 02/02/2009Removed the 5zigen exhaust system, good job i did as there are a fair few holes in it = MOT fail. Repairable, but i dont want it as i dont like it at all, picked up the rs*r from Gavin Collier (cheers mate), VERY pleased with it, its in bloody brilliant condition, very shiny and clean. Will remove again soon thought as im thinking of heat wrapping it to protect it from the weather? Let me know your views and opinions on this, yay or nay?.Fitted my nice new shiny (well, not new) RS*R 3" cat-back exhaust system yesterday afternoon.Wanted one of these for ages, what a beast, gotta love the angled exit, jdm yO!And yes its f*cking snowing!!!......woo!!! lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
