mart1 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 It's the typical response really from people who assume you're in your first car and don't know a thing about them. I can hardly be a dick my self and drive around with stickers saying what I've owned in the past although sometimes I wish I could lol. Just looking forward to having more fire power in the future so I can at least keep up on the straights. it's the first time the lack of power has bothered me to be honest as I just like the car being clean and driving it around. just keep cruising & enjoy it:-) there's always going to be someone that my cars faster than yours, you have got a nice little classic there:-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Ha ha I'm not on a downer with typeR owners and rate the cars but this one in particular seemed a bit of a gimp. Obviously a half decent driver (maybe without their other half screaming at them in the passenger seat) would leave an sr in the corners too. Once had someone in a pulsar race my gt4 and afterwards said "I know it's a celica but what the fuck have you done to it?!" He didn't know what a gt4 was and he was in a pulsar.

Pikey009 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks mate, bit of a boring colour but it matches the exhaust heat shield and as always, every is to look as stock as possible got black vacuum hose too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Got quite a bit done this weekend. First off were the 98 spec glanza door cards that I randomly managed to find this weekend. Already ordered some 96 spec glanza ones though so might have them up for sale soon but the currier hasn't managed to deliver them yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Next came the custom low seat rails- you can see in the pic that there's a decent 2inch drop just got the drivers side to finish off as we were getting our eye in with the passenger side Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Next was the Corolla inlet- was a bigger pain than I thought but got there in the end. Made a custom bracket as the original one wouldn't fit- welded a washer on the under side so that the injector harness could still be clipped in place Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Here's it all fitted up- I used black vac hose to give it a factory look Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Still not totally happy with the way the throttle cable is but its secure and light. Car feels a little more torquey and freer revving but then it could all just be in my head! Next up is the drivers seat frame and a brake upgrade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker96 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Love the door cards unfortunately I can't have them as mine are manual also never did that with my intake just a bolt there lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Looking good mate get that rocker cleaned up and your pas pump sprayed and your bay is done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scoobysvx Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Seat frames are looking great Jase bet your pleased with those! Now you'll actually fit in there 😂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Great updates matey! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Walker96 - couldn't you retro fit the winders on to them? Drill a hole through the door card or is it a bit of a mission? Ryan- yeh I really want to get it sorted but then feel like just getting one with twin breathers. Either way it'll be black when it's sortedJack- ha ha it is a hell of a lot better but still need to finish the drivers. It should give me a much better driving position, sense of speed and hold me in the corners a bit better.Rich- cheers buddy how's yours going? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Might get a new ps pump to be honest as its the original. The bay won't be finished until there's intercooler pipework and a td04 in there ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 well your car looks amazing mate so I wouldn't worry too much. You could maybe spray and retrim them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker96 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) well your car looks amazing mate so I wouldn't worry too much. You could maybe spray and retrim them?I have sprayed them with fabric spray but it just comes off way too easy Edited January 24, 2016 by Walker96 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 You can get some suede faux from eBay to completely retrim them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Walker96 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Might look into next time I have some. Time off work also do you have a glanza steering wheel? Just swap them over no hassle? Thinking about getting one:) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pikey009 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Share Posted January 24, 2016 Yeh I hated the grey one so got a black glanza one got an omp supertourismo on my garage wall but it doesn't give the car the look I'm after. Was very easy to swap over mate- there's a 'how to' on here somewhere but I can talk you through it on a PM if you like. Main thing is disconnect the battery and wait 30mins before starting work on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
