Vincent-ep91 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Well i bought the car in May 2008 (for 4800), she was imported in 2004 (for 9800 euro) and i`m the second Irish owner. So much has changed since then and i`v never kept a car blog. Most of the changes have been recorded with random pictures although i took few at the start.I suppose a Blog like this will be handy to come back to if i decide to travel or go to Australia next year. The car has been on and off the road since august 2010 when i started uni, only when I had work at Christmas, summer time or on teaching practice was the car used.This resulted long spells sitting up whilst i gathered parts like turbo kits, suspension components ect. The car has never since 2010 felt like one connected unit; parts were always changing and being sold to fund others. Truth be told, I was probably never fully happy with it, apart form one day last summer when i took it out for a spin (as i had a daily driver corolla). I then drove it for like 2 weeks before being put back into the garage and taken apart once more. Here are the pictures taken that day: with the daily driver, now sold for an xli starlet.

Vincent-ep91 Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Its going back to stock at the moment as the turbo kit sold in December. Just prepping for the nct and sorting niggly problems like finding a ct9 turbo to manifold gasket and droplinks for the trd anti roll bar.

Vincent-ep91 Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) So as I had coilovers in the car, I thought "why not lower the back and make it level". So I took the car to get this done as I didn't have any c spanners handy. It turns out that for the price I got charged, I may as well have bought two sets of spanners for myself instead.... Ah well.
