Jamie5414 Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Nice! I might see if the spray shop can do Ford Sea Grey, then i'll only have to send the rocker and heat shield off. It's a really nice colour I like it. I didn't know Blitz did res covers too, I've only looked for TD ones and haven't seen any for sale yet. The hoses make it look a lot better Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie5414 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Roller Mani Fitted and engine cleaned a bit... Got a big headache so need to do some finishing touches later in the week... Ordered some 3mm hose to replace the one circled below, as it's too short. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

drongo boi Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 looking good dude I did the same with my indicators looking forward to spein them wheels on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Spraying is the first priority to book, as it will be 4/5 day turnaround. Which won't happen for most things listed further above (that are essential) for the next 4 weeks due to a training course. So i am unable to fit the bonnet decal as it will be resprayed. To do until then:-Purchase and fit new custom SR decals. (bar bonnet)Purchase and fit adjustable pan-hard rod.Purchase and fit MiesterR coilovers. Need to see if the Zender Turbo 2's fit when the coilies are on. Will be getting delivery of them next week hopefully. Also have a set of Ph1 Turbines in black, I'll put them on one side and get pics of both sets of alloys Edited October 21, 2013 by Jamie5414 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aamir Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I think you should upgrade your seats too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah, I saw some half leather old school recaro seats on ebay... I'm not sure how they would look though. I'd just get some seat covers for the back I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Yeah, I saw some half leather old school recaro seats on ebay... I'm not sure how they would look though. I'd just get some seat covers for the back I think. Anythings an improvement over the standard seats....if you've got a mate that can weld, the seat world is pretty much your oyster! Just look out for something that hugs a bit better in a less funky colour First thing i changed in my first SR Edited October 22, 2013 by Flynn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) How have people secured their throttle cable onto a rolla mani? If anyone has pictures of theirs that would be brilliant. I've made up two U stainless brackets at work today to get this: Hopefully this will work OK with my plan i'm thinking of Edited October 22, 2013 by Jamie5414 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Yeah that will work just have the nut on two or three tgreads. Check out ryan langs build thread Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Ah I see yeah, but if I do that on mine, with one either side, the throttle cable is slack. Is there any way to tighten it inside the car? as on the throttle on the TB there's a finished end on it so it can't be pulled tight and re-fitted that end Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Billy SR Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 (edited) best way to do it is to cut the throttle cable holder off of the normal inlet and get it welded to the corolla inlet, bish bosh perfect fit. Edited October 23, 2013 by Billy SR Quote Link to post Share on other sites
motion Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Looks nice..carbon bonnet should be next Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 It sounds good, but weather it would look good I don't know. waiting to see one on a black n/a Got the throttle cable to work with the n/a TB. Works good. Ordered some custom Decals from morgey, Silver/Cement Grey & the "SR" in black. and also got some "Toyota" and "Starlet" stickers to match, got 3 different colours then I can fit the ones that match the decals the best when they arrive. Engine bay cleaned a bit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ep91sleep Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 minted mate, i had a black 1 too what size are those alloys Paul? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 Well that's me booked in for a service on 16th November at Toyota... It's on 42k now and the guy said they do a major service at 40k, but I looked at the stamp book and records and they did a "A" (minor) service. So It looks like it's time for a major. £360 for a major service. I about fell off my chair when he said that haha. Oh well worth it too keep it with FTSH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie5414 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Will be a good weekend coming! MiesterR Coilovers arrived, so pleased with them! Just awaiting my panhard-rod then all can go ahead and be fitted! New wheel nut socket Really hated using a metal one without a coating. So bought one with a plastic coating so it doesn't scratch the alloys Also stickers are ready and sent by morgey!! Here's a picture of them, with the film over the top. Silver, Cement Grey & Black Going to re-do the negative terminal, negative from battery to engine & engine to body. 25mm squared like it should be. Got some silicone hose for all the small vacum hoses, smartened it up a bit - still things to be refurbished though. A few days ago at a lighthouse Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aamir Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Looks lovely mate. Where did you get the socket from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
