rasslenny Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 (edited) HEY HEY to all my fellow uksc members its been over a year now that im saying i should do one of these so that people can see what my little lady look like and today seems like the day where ill actually get it doneas the tittle says im long way away from you guys in Trinidad, but this magic box called a computer keeps me in the loop. Must say that you guys have been ever so helpful and I must give a shout out to a few of the members on here Idrees for sure the man with all the goodies, GT phayer, keri-WMS (any one and i mean anyone in need of brakes this is the man to deal with hes got his shit down ... only man i know who said shipping to trinidad sure man piece of cake big up to WMS)living in the caribbean has its perks but also has many down sides mainly being sourcing parts that are not millions of miles away. the price of the parts isn't the problem but the the shipping costs is what gets me in the arse every time.any who it all started with a wonderfully not molested 93 GT...nothing special power windows blah blah blah bought from a guy down here who just didn't love cars enough to have it so i had to find a way to get it off his hands.only mods i had seen was he had afront mount intercooler not even sure what it cam off of,greddy turbo timer,hks blow off valve,some very ugly gauges on the pillar,a no name steering wheel,front upper strut bar,and a mint boddy for me to work withas usual when u buy anything there are problems the old idiot didn't tell you about and the following week my water pump went and i over heated so to the garage i went and we hooked my lady up with newwater pumpthermostattiming beltspark plugs and leadsnew distributer cuz i had one laying aroundbreak padschanged all the oils and fluidsand set out to find me some proper tiresi wasn't quite working yet and had spent all my money literally purchasing the car (which was seriously over priced as there are not to many in the country and they hold a high price down here for no apparent reason)... regardless some saving was in order and while i was at university all my spending money wen into the piggy bank aka an old shoe boxfirst piece of money i spent on it was a new grill and head lights i had to go quad only because there hella sexy and the GTs down here generally are all the regular lights I was in university at the time in Canada and had them shipped to me up there and traveled home with the lights and grill in me suitcase with a nice new hid kit to go (passing through customs i was sweating lol didn't wana pay shit lol)didnt know i had to cut the chassis but that was trivial and by the end of the day (we really did procrastinate) i had me a quad light GTthat christmass i had a little cash and decided a nice powder coat of the rims wouldn't dent me much so i decided that id push forward and make her little prettyI know it looks a little weird but i didnt have the cash to lower it so yes it does look like a hilux because it so high in the air.pics of the lights fitted after i got the HID kit in there as wellwell it was back to canada to study and again the saving of money till i got home bought some goodies while i was over there found me a halman boost controller a genuine momo steering wheel some momo mats to match a sequential blow off that is yet to be fitted. months later i returned home with pockets of cash to find a random monster sticker on me lady that my little cousins decided to put on there... didnt bother me much so i left it for the time beingrandom pic as i got home she was just screaming hello at methat summer i had me a little bouncident and my head light cracked .... ill admit to it i wasn't looking while turning into a car spot and there where some bricks that were not usually their pilled up in front but o well had to order me some more parts so to the magic internet box i went ordered a new grill and head light ... dam japanese people sent me the original grill so unfortunately i now had 2 grills i couldn't use... they fixed me up pretty well and sent me a new grill... the bumper was trashed to and i lost the bumper with the nice air ducts on the side... luckily a partner of mins had a spare bumper and he gave it to me for free woop woopi took this opportunity seeing as i had to order stuff to order a bit more and then came my original GT starlet rear 3 point strut bar .... for some reason when it came it didn't line up properly so we had to turn the parts that went over the bolts so out came the saw and the welding machineafter we cut them of and tack them back in we made sure it lined up properlyand then we got to welding (shout out to my boy justin the guy welding hes the crazy mechanic behind all my projects)that night called for some dinner on me as justin didn't want to work on the car so off to rubby tuesdays we went and they gave me crayons to draw with so i drew the only thing i could think of lolthe guy who owned the car before me had the intercooler piping run really stupid and i would scrape it on speed bumps so that was the next thing i tackled i know the piping i put isnt ideal but it was just to stop the scraping ... Im looking to order a propper autobahn88 kit this christmasso off cam the bumper and in went the new pipingthe next piece of money to go was on a full grounding kit for the GT it made a difference as i had some grounding issues and it made me engine bay little pretty was driving around one night and by boys girlfriend asked me to drive the car and i said why the hekk.... not she started driving and didn't do to badly when all of a sudden crack bang crackle pop and me lady wouldn't go in gearsback to justins house crawling in second gear only to find out the next morning the clutch literally exploded lol so new clutch it wasbought an entire kit and slapped the bad boy ingot her back a day later and decided to take some picsagain back to school and some saving and christmas time rolled around againchristmas presents who needs those just give me money everyone lol that plus savings set me up good for some more goodiesgot in touch with gt phayer and snagged me a JD tuning cooler pannel of him and had it sent to trinidad with one of my girl friends who is studying in leedsi also bough me anareomotive fprmishimoto half size radiator and fan pluss the mounting brackets (cant remember the bloke i got the brackets of smh) some gab coil overs (holly stiffness) car rides soo well now in the corners thougha shot of the stance after the coil-overs were put on and a i got the car buffed and waxeda little latter a friend of mine in photography school asked me to take some pics of the car for her portfolio lol and i was more than glad to get me some proper shotswith that done i decided to find me some rare stuff and some how managed to pull some wind deflectors out of my ass down here .... extreemly hard to find in trinidad and i mean extremelyespecially as they are original toyota partsagain random night with my boy after we decided to get into a little car race to the gas stationhess so proud of his little honda so sad ... hondas psssssshhhhhh lol looks good though full type r swap in that bad boy .... pulls hard to when vtec kicks in but by then the star boy is long gone....
