addz Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I see your point Amjad, and it seems very logical, either way - best of luck.I was under the impression ALL Gt Advances had LSD's as standard?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 LSD all the way get them wheels painted as discussed and it'll transform the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sanchez Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Nice project mate, shame you wont be driving it for a while Get them wheels off though, cant stand seeing mr2 wheels on starlets, get some nice JDM ones! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 Nardi steering wheel =)looking good mate, get the bits fixed and your sorted Thanks G!love quad GT's! LSD is a right result! gotta get a TOM's kit for it! best of luck with it! Nice one Ryan, TOMs is certainly a possibility in the future, but engine tuning is number one priority! I see your point Amjad, and it seems very logical, either way - best of luck.I was under the impression ALL Gt Advances had LSD's as standard??I believe they were an option, even on the Advance models. Quadlight Advance with Sunroof & LSD, this is quite the rare model then eh? LSD all the way get them wheels painted as discussed and it'll transform the carAs above only engine tuning for now, might do a rattle can job for now in black but I will get them done properly in the future!Nice project mate, shame you wont be driving it for a while Get them wheels off though, cant stand seeing mr2 wheels on starlets, get some nice JDM ones!Thanks dude, yeah I'm still super chuffed I own it though!I quite like them & they're light! Not feeling the white though! I'd adore a set of Blue/Black Advan SA3Rs or Red Adonised rim multispoke Enkei's or even some TOM's or Wanatabe's but they'd cost a fair bit! Because I don't drive it I'd rather spend money on the engine and get it faster ready for when it's on the road. Then once that's all done I'll concentrate on making it look better*BIG NEWS*Stripped the front down today to take the AC out and inspect the crash damage. Took off the bumper, lights and grille to find the damage is absolutely minimal! All it needs is a new crash bar, a little piece on the side of the crash bar (held on by a few bolts) and a new grille/Quadlight and that's it! This car just makes me happier and happier everyday! LOVING IT! ;)Should be picking up a new wing tomorrow, and the other bits damaged under the wing on Monday night! Quadlights are some way off though I think!Ooh and my uncle's got into the car quite a bit (funny because he used to take the mick outta EPs) While I'm away at uni he's thinking of bringing it on the road for me and using it as his car, and buying tuning bits little by little, so if that goes ahead, WIN!I'll get some proper pics up of the damage (pah! lol) tomorrow!

Amjad Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 *Update*Stripped the front of the car down to assess the damage and make it easier for the Air-con removal and serviceSmashed wing off!And this is literally the only damage on the car, should be simple to get it pulled back in shape!Then got cracking with draining the old oil and filter, along with the rad coolant, which were all in dire need of refreshing!All the AC junk! Takes up a stupid amount of space in the bay!The remnants of my catalytic convertor And the Cat itselfThe restriction in the cat was ridiculous! The element in there was like shreddies, but even narrower Got my new oil ready, but waiting on the magnetic sump plug and Blueprint filter to arrive in the post! Along with some NGK Heat Range 7 Iridium plugs Should also be getting my mani ported and filter relocation ordered soon! Need to get the Fujitsubo exhaust looked at as well, sounds like there's a blow somewhere, a trip to Pro-Speed exhausts shall suffice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Cracking on with it already mate, nice one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stulet-GTT Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Im so glad someone brought this to fix an not break...KEEP the air-con fan as it will go nicely on a civic rad if you decide to go that way, if not you can get £20-£30 for it on hear as its a slim fan..

Amjad Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Cracking on with it already mate, nice one Thanks man! Yeah it's good to work on a new car, I'm learning a lot already! Im so glad someone brought this to fix an not break...KEEP the air-con fan as it will go nicely on a civic rad if you decide to go that way, if not you can get £20-£30 for it on hear as its a slim fan..Yup, it was definitely worth seeing if I can get it fixed as it drives so well & is so clean!Thanks for that, if my rad ever do goes I'd like a nice Civic one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
