primesera Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 (edited) How doo fellow 4EFTE'rsBeen a forum member for a while but never posted about my car. It's a Toyota Sera with a 4EFTE conversion. A conversion seen before I'm sure :-)I've had my Sera for 11 years and it's been 3 colours, a show type car and a sprint car too. Currently for the past 2 years, it's a rusting metal lump on my driveway since the birth of my daughter and I'm just getting my mojo back to get the rust cut out and to learn welding to get it back to full sprint spec. Hopefully back to racing in the next few years. Here's a pic of it's Banzai mag feature some years agoJAEIt's sprinting days in the Toyota Sprint SeriesAs it stands currently all be it on TOMS wheels nowThe bayThe ever decreasing interior to save weightDidn't want to save this much wright though!So started cutting it out for new metal to go inHere's the TOMS new action rims that I'll be usingSo I've a lot to do really. Engine and brake overhaul needed and body strengthening inc race suspension are on the cards. Money permitting :-) Edited May 26, 2014 by primesera Quote Link to post Share on other sites

primesera Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks everyone. It's been an emotional journey with this car over the past 11 yearsLooked like this when I first got itHad it painted X Power grey and changed the wheels (and some other bits)Turbo lump inThe interior in these are very nice. Feels like you're in an aeroplaneStarted the Toyota Sprint Series and came runner up in my first yearMore racing, at Rockingham and wheel changeAlways fancied it in white so started prepping the car for painting (and more racing at Woodbridge)Ghetto painting but I did an Ok job :-)I've now sold or binned most of the optional extras I bought over the years due to deciding the car will be a full time race car as it's not my daily any more and no one wanted to buy it when it was for sale just can't wait to really get on with sorting it now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aleximport25 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Hope work is coming along ?? Will be keeping a eye on here Ive always liked sera's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bluebear Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Think I remember seeing this at some Trafford TGTT meets back in the day (must have been '07/'08 ish).Nice little evolution, shame about the rust though! Hope you get it all sorted! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
