[*Pete*]

Looks sick mate, same colour as mine ;)

Where'd you get the crystal headlights at bud?

Keep up the good work mate

Brought them off a forum memeber in the for sale section, I know id workz sells them brand new at 140 quid i picked mine up for 70 quid. Just keep your eyes peeled for them as the only came on the japan models. Even JDM-EP may get a pair from time to time

Cheers, I would say look on some jdm autions i got my indicators from a site buyee and i see it pretty reasonable price as i had been looking for them for months. Went on the site and found a pair straight away, did see a couple of sets on there may worth a look. Edited October 18, 2015 by *Pete*

Jdm-ep actually had a set in not too long ago and they were for sale at £90 I was tempted myself but got a steering wheel instead haha!

Update:

Have done a little more work for my throttle body: Cleaned and painted idle control valve, welded and painted throttle cable spindle.

Done some work on the inlet manifold made the bore to 50mm to match the throttle body and smoothed the fuel pressure regulator outlet:

And finally done a little more on my bumper added a few bit along the gap so I can now work on it off the car:

[*Pete*]

Update time!!

So got my wheels on, with uniroyals rainsport 3 (I know someone would of asked what tyres I was using) still need to get some centre caps. I did have some fancy wheel nuts but they were the wrong pitch thread so had to use my old ones and rapped the socket in tape not damage the wheels.

[Russleh]

Love the colour of the wheels

[JDMfreak]

love the wheel colour I was going to suggest getting a fibreglass kit with the matting stuff and close the gap at the back and use fibre glass bondo and fill the front

[*Pete*]

Cheers the car is so much nicer to drive with these on, i get some center caps for 20 ish pounds

[*Pete*]

Picture I took from my clubs meet on Sunday:

And finished building the throttle body, YAY! took long enough! finally! haha XD

[*Pete*]

Update:

Centre caps arrived for the wheels:

I also done some more on the inlet manifold got my brother to weld it up with his mig then I took it to work and after work I tig welded over the areas you can see to neaten it up for paint:

In primer:

And after paint and two layers of vht lacquer:

Update:

Had a little bit of time in the garage, sprayed the badge the same colour as the car. Really want another bonnet as mine isn't that good so it can be debadged.

Also near curbed the wheel the other day :/

Didn't the update like I said but here it is, I used the the fuel flap off my old starlet and rusted it and lacquered it for fun. Just wanted to see how it came out.

Then that night after cleaning the car as it needed it.

Cheers guys, soon be moving the battery to the boot, going to test a dry cell battery on the weekend

[*Pete*]

Tried the battery on the weekend and I had the radio on for about 40 minutes and it still cranked over and started easily. Now I need to make the tray/box for the boot. But this is how small the battery is:

[*Pete*]

Little update, got little more done on the bumper got one side upto the big gap

Also took this picture while on the way to work not too bad

[*Pete*]

Update:

Brought a need wing and bonnet not the best condition but its better than a dented wing and the bonnet is in for some plans

here is the bonnet in the back of my car tight fit!

so with getting the new wing I fitted it the next day so I could get my indicators in. Did clean when I had the arch out but didn't take a picture.

While using the jet wash to get rid of most of dirt on the car I noticed this but it won't leak when the water was over it...
