Future modifications:
- Apexi RSM
- 3 DIN guages (oil temp, oil pressure, water temp)
- Lots of polish :D

Doing fine.

I've fitted the clear side repeaters. Front end looks much cleaner now all lenses are clear.

Exhaust is blowing at the DP gasket but I'm hoping to fix that tomorrow along with a sticky caliper. If all goes well I'll be at the Derby meet on Sunday.

Hi, thanks for the comments :D

To be honest there was nothing really wrong with my old leads and plugs, but I just changed them anyway as I didn't have the details of there last change :wink:

I didn't plan on getting the leads but I broke one of the originals while trying to take it off the plug :oops: so I bought the magnecor from Fensport.

After changing the plugs (Toyota specified NGK platinum) and leads over, there was actually a difference as it seemed to be smoother :) , not really much more of a responce in acceleration or whatever It just felt cleaner and crisper 8) .

Have a look on http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk
