The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Very minor update for today.Bought a new boot lid for the gt, thanks to mark from CMB autos, the boot is to follow, as swapping to a mk2 one, just prefer the look of them more:Also removed the plastic piping for the hearer to the rear seats:And lastly added some stickers, I have ALOT more stickers, but I'm only putting on ones that have had a major involvement in the car as a thank you and to show my support for them:This was done a few weeks ago but forgot to update this lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Another wee update for today.Been busy the last week making up some clear indicators. Things didn't go that smoothly to start with as I got irritated doing it so ended up cracking one of the clear lenses I had.So I had to buy another set, which means I now have 3 sets of front indicators, 1 orange plastic set, one clear set with the orange buts still in it and one set of properly clear ones! I will probably make the second set clear and keep them as spares. Also this was one of the mods I've wanted to do for a bit but no one ever seems to be selling a proper clear set so had to do it myself!Indicator before installed:Original orange plastic ones on:New ones on and looking all nice: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 That front end looks 1000 times better with those clear indicators Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 it does doesn't it!Always thought the orange ones looked a bit pishy like, just never found a set for sale so took a bit a bit of time to correct that porblem lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 While I was ordering stuff from camskill I thought may as well order some other maintenance parts to save a wee bit on the carriage costs, so ordered lower ball joints for the fronts as well as both front wheel barings and some oil filters:While I was away, I received the new front bushes for the wishbones that I had bought from Toyota, since Dave unfortunately only had one side available to buy, just my luck! So I had to buy 2 new ones from Toyota, which wasn't the cheapest way but if it needs it it gets it.Set about hacking up the standard bushes and replacing them with teh anti lift kit I bought from Dave ages ago and also fitted the fronts today, which was nice and easy.:So far, most of the parts have finally arrived. Although due to changing setup, I am awaiting more parts now And for the buyer of the other setup to come up with the money as well.Although the parts that have arrived are:Front ARB & drop links255 Fuel pumpBall jointsTrack rod endsSteering rack armsCV joint gatorsAEM Boost controler and gaugeAEM Wideband gauge and probeUlra racing rear anti roll bar and linksNew front mount intercoolerAlthough I am still awaiting new mani, screamer pipe, decat and external wastegate.Few pics of stuff that have came to me, while some has went straight to Mark who has my car: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chr15_7_t_ Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 truely jelous mate ...one day i hope my gt will be a mark on yours lol.. whens the kit geting fited? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The_Notorious_C_A_T Posted November 20, 2009 Author Share Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for kind words lads.Getting a mate to fit all the junk, I would have prefered to do it myself but I don't have the time, and some of the stuff I would have needed a garage to fit so gave it to him to fit at his garage. But hopefully real soon as I need to get down to manchester for my emanage ultimate to be fitted and mapped.Although the bill for the car and bits is up around 16 grand or something like that, I could have cut that by half easily if I had used second hand parts, but I don't like buying second hand unless I must. To many untrust worthy sellers out there for my liking really. But this is hopefully the last car I go to this extent with, and it only seems alot due to only having the car since end February or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
