Umm little update I guess forgot about this thread

Car is now lowered another inch due to it looking like a 4X4 Love the new look but hate the rubbing on full lock so I think some fettling is in order.



along with lowering I installed and replaced the old blitz induction kit with a custom 2.75 maf housing/pipe work due to issues caused by running the old 1zz intake. The 2zz ecu is a fussy bu88er

The Maf housing is made out of the old celica airbox, this is temporary fix until I can get a metal one machined. The pipework has also been extended to put the filter further away from the engine.

Is it worth updating when you're selling it? Or have you changed your mind about that again?

I've been away for a week so forgive me if I've missed one of your many about-faces in that time.

[ilogik]

Christ its like a bad smell. Even if I did change my mind its up to me what I do so please go play in the road

[Ekona]

I'm only following the smell of bullsh*t you're leaving behind sweetcheeks

It is of course your prerogative to change your mind as many times as you like, just as it is mine to mock you for doing so


Is it staying then?

Very tempted, insurance I have managed to get down, and all my cheap alternatives that I had considered changing to TT, Crossfire all came back at double my current insurance, so savings I would of made selling the car are out weighed by new insurance so its a tricky one.

I think if I refrain from spending money it won't be too bad, but I can't help myself buying stuff/doing stuff to the car as its a hobby at the same time.

The car runs great though, and I love driving it. I use it as a daily work horse though driving everywhere in it and its not let me down so far so I can't fault it.

Plus fuel is quite good if I don't go silly playing in the rev range, but its a bit like boost, once you hear it/feel it you just want to keep playing with it. Like the first time you discovered masturbation

[Will_bmx]

That is a beautiful mk3.
I really don't like the mk3 in standard form but they have so much potential, such as that one. woooo. made my day!

[Kongaroo]

Agreed - I feel the same about the stock Mk3 look but your widebody looks amazing. Great colour and the alloys really suit it

[PaulM]

Makes me want to go widebody

[OlberJ]

I've told you already :

[ilogik]

lol you could quite easily turn a mk3 into this if you wanted too. Much better than the Ferrari replica crap around

You got any more info on that mate? Did a google search but can't turn anything up.

[ilogik]

if your interested mate I know exactly where you can get both a monocraft kit and the mr-x kit.

If you want the mr-x check out luxurypart.com, i would import it for you but its too big, i can deal with smaller parts though.

[PaulM]

try this link, or google luxury part thailand

[PaulM]

if you do lets us know what he's like, as this would be the kit i'd be going for with the V8

[Andy_Foz]

No worries. Am in Hong Kong from the 15th August and will be in Bangkok on the 19th. Will try to buy a couple and ship them back if I can!
