Socks Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 sounds like a plan mofo! wudda been nice to see coilovers tho! x Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 I would love coilovers but I can't justify spending so much on them, especially as I love the handling setup on the NA and I reckon it's more than good enough for my needsFew more parts I've picked up recently, JD Tuning C-Pillar Brace (thanks Jezza)Optional 3-Point brace (thanks Shorty)And finally, -40mm PI springs! No more DragStar hahaHave a few more updates to follow soon when I'm back home as my 1st year at uni now finished! -My CAP Clutch has arrived from the USA-I'm currently in the process of securing some big GT4 single pot 280mm brakes! (See pic of GT below to see how beasty they look )Saw a pic of this EP82 on google and thought I'd post it in here because I've just fallen in love with it! Look at those stoppers!!I'm getting my rear screen and front side windows tinted soon, but I'm thinking of taking off the Gold Toyota badge off the boot to look like this? Opinions?

Think you should keep the gold badge on dude, love the look of it:)Thanks dude! Yeah ordered the springs directly from PI, they're customer service is a bit of a joke tbh "48hr delivery"? Err no! It took 2 weeks to arrive i think the gold badge looks quite cool against the black are they the brakes you are getting or just a pic of how you want yours to look?Yeah I've always kinda liked the gold badge but I love the look of that GT, uber slick Nah those are the exact mahoosive GT4 brakes I'm trying to get! I'm just waiting on someone to confirm the calipers I've found are the right ones, then I'll get them ordered along with a new set of uprated discs like those ones and some pads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Whaat really? they said mine wont come till the next week when i ordered them thursday night as it was bank holiday, then they arrived on the friday, mint service! crap they let you down like :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 8, 2011 Author Share Posted June 8, 2011 I wouldn't have minded if they just told me straight up when it was coming. Three different days they said it had been dispatched on that day, turned up 2 weeks later :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LukeSR Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Sweet updates mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think you need to save up for some slipstreams in black tbh Are you going to strip the rear of this also? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 9, 2011 Author Share Posted June 9, 2011 Sweet updates mate Cheers buddy I think you need to save up for some slipstreams in black tbh Are you going to strip the rear of this also?More concerned with performance than looks with my cars tbh! They would be nice, but way too high an offset for my liking..I love lew777's wheels!The MR2 wheels are going black so should help the stealth look anyhow This car is stripped to the max at the moment lol (did it for Japfest track session) currently has one seat, nothing in the back, not even the seatbelts *Update*Ordered the GT4 Single Piston Calipers & Carriers! In the process of ordering some tasty Astra discs and some new standard GT4 pads! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Fair enough. Light weight wheels the the way forward. Makes the car more on it's toes if you get my drift. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
