[alan_uk]

i dont have part number guys as i already had these from my last car so got them a while ago

there from an s40 though and are £12.70 a pair if that helps
they spray a good mist spray ill try getting a video up

[alan_uk]

well today started off so well was set to get my apexi r33 back box fitted got to the place and all went well, got the grill cut off nice and neat with the plasma cutter and got the exhaust in a position i was happy with as i was wanting it to sit at the angle the blitz supra system sits,







anyway when it was all done i checked and i am really dissapointed with the angle it has ended up so if i can get in tomorrow its getting changed then if not monday lol

as you can see its not bad overall but it gives the impression its pointing down over even though its not, however looks nothing like the supra 1 i gave for reference




on a + note my front strut brace i won on ebay for £4.99 turned up from 2fast 2cool which i didnt think it was going to lol so bargain there even if it is an ebay special lol



and besides all this the car underneath looks great






did notice the cancer bars look a little scabby but there getting changed for the stainless 1's i bought


but despite all these ups and downs of the day on my first real drive of the car i found it despite comprehensive service history to be very sluggish and slow, lacking power

then after the car sitting for a good 4 hours i started it up and revved it cold i will add and there was a big cloud of rather smelly dark smoke unsure of black or blue but it wasnt condensation

any suggestions on what it may be or am i best putting a new engine in her, i also could hear a faint whine from the gearbox in first

I'm using 2011 Yaris washer jets, they are a straight swap and give a much better spray pattern, Toyota part number 85381-52250 NOZZLE SUB-ASSY, WASHER

Looking good Alan

[alan_uk]

cheers mate

[Toyota nut]

Love the new exhaust Alan !!

Car looks clean under neath too

I have stainless cancer bars waiting to go on mine

Seem a good job,

Hope u get the angle your looking for on the exhaust
With minimal hassle pal!

Looks like a tidy job on it

[alan_uk]

thanks buddy

its back in 11am monday and i have to pay the full amount again to have it set how i asked in the first place gutted to be honest i paid £80 for the fitting and now they have to cut it all off and do it all again for another £80

how someone is supposed ot say yea that angle is right when its 8ft in the air is beyond me lol and i hope it dont end up wrong again

[alan_uk]

on a plus side just bought a brand new set of hsd dual tech coilovers and new droplinks for £350 posted

[alan_uk]

Christmas update

coilovers arrived today and droplinks very pleased with the quality of these hsd's like




my momo boss kit arrived so i fitted that and my new momo race wheel




also picked up a slimmer pair of turbo vent strips for the authentic look, also all fixings in tact and no damage



and my strut brace had arrived but didnt like the silver ends and as my mate is a powder coater by trade i figured i would get them coated gloss black to match my red and black theme im going for

[synXero]

Fastest mods ever man!

Think you'll get bored once you've bought and fitted everything though??

[alan_uk]

haha i know thats my worry too but i think im going to attempt to fit a bmw 4.0v8 that i have sat doing nothing

[alan_uk]

another last minute add on lol

decided to buy myself a spare wheel cover and think it tidies up the frunk a whole heck of a heap lol

[alan_uk]

things are starting to arrive now post is running again

these arrived today my stainless cancer bars



will be getting them powder coated before they are fitted to give extra protection but at least it wont need doing again

have also decided on some touches that will be done when in being painted

going to either do the end caps and blade on the spoiler gloss black or the full spoiler like this




also doing the rear light center panel black too but keeping my reverse lights this time round



and my front splitter black like so

[alan_uk]

well today i decided it was time to fit my import rear bumper so everything was on the car ready for paint,

and why i was there i would fit my led number plate bulbs, everything went to plan right up until the drivers side rear rub strip inner arch bolt decided it didn't want to play ball lol, so out came the grinder and off it came to reveal a pretty scabby rear arch so sods law the bumper will be back off when in for paint but all in all the rear end is very clean and tidy





the passenger side which is like new



and the rather tatty drivers side



cleaned it up with the flappy disc but will be getting cut out and replaced when in the bodyshop



and fitted and back together with the led number plate bulbs in which turned out to be a right pain after i put everything back together to turn around and see them on the floor haha




also removed the ariel ready to post to blaster1 which is like new




also have my rigid strut braces to fit but cant decide on weather to re coat them yellow or another colour ????



my new frunk liner clips came too so replaced all them with new also its all starting to come together now

[gerbil1028]

Slow down making me feel lazy Lol.

So funny that you wanted the narrow plate rear bumper, and all I want is a UK/Euro wide plate rear bumper.
