Want to see this beast on the road Dan!Haha cheers Kev! Yeah man al get to the bottom of it, it was running a bit hot before the alternator belt snapped. Got a new belt through today from Idworkz.Nice one on the mot Dan, exhaust looks even tighter than expected, remember having a look underneath Shorty's old 5dr and wondering how could it be done, good job there. Wheels look a lot better than last time I seen them, very similar look to the Toms c3r. " all because of this fuckin Starlet" Lol always the way, they own you not the other way round, the gt is starting to control my life again ha.Thanks James, yeah its as tight as it gets really, havent actually been able to get it to knock yet. Aye theyve came up quite well havent they Lol tell me about it man, had to tell the person buying my celica i cant sell it yet, and had to tell the owner of the GS300 i cant buy it yet fuck sake!Thats good you got it an mot! Hopefully ill see it out on the road soon. :-)Yeah defo Dale, im aiming for a Crail run on the 26th of April. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

daniel_g Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 So ive been driving around daily in this little piece of shit for about a fortnight now, theres a few issues that have came to light with a bit of use, main one being its popped both outer CV boots again which is annoying because its sprayed grease all over my newly powder coated wheels haha. Ive bought a pair of poly boots so will hopefully get them fitted soon Other annoying things,Front crank seal weepingMinor PAS fluid leak at the pump, just the washerOSF wheel scrubs like a cunt, think the shockie is fuckedRear ride height is so high its funnyThen theres the good bits It sounds the fuckin nutsShort ratio box is mega for acceleration3 puk is superb for launchesVF12 is lagatron which is good, nothing happens till 3.5k rpm hahaSo all in all pretty chuffed with the 85, few handling mods and a brake upgrade and it will be even better.I also picked up a GS300 which will be getting used as a daily in a few months, and yes i know the exhausts are err not small.Only gonna be using it to drop off chico and do the odd drive by Quote Link to post Share on other sites
