pinske Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 (edited) Hi all, as most of you know I had my first EP written off the other week :'( So after a couple of weeks searching I spotted this PINK 1997 sportif down in Warrington with 66k on the clock, new cam belt, radiator and full service and being sold by a senior technician at Toyota. 1 owner from new and £580! BARGAIN. So popped down yesterday night and drove it 200 miles back! It was pitch black, gail force winds and raining on skinny ass tyres so was sketchy to say the least but I'm happy with it the underside is immaculate the only bit thats really annoying me is this rust next to the back window as its stood for a long time (its only done 6k in the last 4 YEARS!)anyone know the best way to sort it? Plans are to go turbo and have a mad pink sleeper, until then ive got a fair few bits to go on and stuff to do to be ready for Japfest parts ive got: - 14" BBS RJs with conti tyres (temp wheels)- Seat Leon Cupra R splitter- D1 spec wheel nuts- Corolla Mani- K&N Panel filter- Bosch super 4 spark plugs- Full straight through exhaust from mani back- Brembo brake pads- New headunit- OEM toyota mats- Parcel shelf with speaker- dials from my old CD- OEM mudflaps- clear indicator lenses- Import plates oh, and coilovers are getting bought TODAY hopefully!! then gotta de-bumpstrip it, stone chip and waxoil the under neath and then sort out a few bits and bobs on the paint work. Updates shall follow VERY soon Sam. Edited March 30, 2014 by pinske Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best of both worlds really, it's given me confidence to hold in there with mine and gives me a bit of competition. Will be awesome to see two salmon's together in the future, and it will be interesting to see what each of one of us does. It's a spitting image of my car, which i bought with 65k haha, so best of luck, i've still not washed mine after 4 months haha Edited April 18, 2013 by Billy SR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was originally, but for financial reasons can't afford to get my car in the state I want in time, so i'd rather wait till it's slammed before it sees any shows i've got a flower necklace hanging from my rear view mirror, embracing the pink Edited April 18, 2013 by Billy SR Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billy SR Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 where the hell did you find the speaker plug, i've been trying to find it to fit my SR shelf for so long! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pinske Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 where the hell did you find the speaker plug, i've been trying to find it to fit my SR shelf for so long! basically pull the whole inside of the rear quarter off, its taped up to the loom. took me a while to spot it in all honesty. but it was there, its hiding away, but you can see the plug on the end of it wish i'd taken photos so i could explain better Sam.
