The weekend changed my transmission oil after 25,000km of usage and put in castrol manual vmx80. Started taking off mods to putting money aside for my boosted car.
Spent some time just then cleaning the interior. Vacuumed and wiped down all leather bits (door sides, steering wheel, dash, handgrip, back of the seats) with this.

I actually really, REALLY like how Rico's door cards are cloth. I dunno why, I just think it looks way better than the normal leather... or leather-ish material. Lol

I had cloth door cards and once they started to fall off, they were off. I sprayed a cheap adhesive on there and it wouldn't hold so I upgraded to 3M adhesive and nothing worked. It would hold for a day then sag again. I eventually had to take them off altogether. Let us know if you find something that actually works. I'm sure I could have found a product that would have worked, but I didn't feel like wasting any more money on the car.

Rico, as always, great car and great photography!

Last night when for a nice drive with some friends. Probably the first drive i had with the thicker rear sway bar. Car felt alot stable through corners giving me alot! more confidence smashing through each corner. I could definately feel the sway bar doing its thing at turns i get little to no understeer or oversteer only where i want the car to go. So none of this oh ****! o.O

Anyways made me fall in love with the car again :3

Rear swaybar changes the whole feeling of the car, first time I went for a drive with it, back slid out round the corner. None of this plough understeer!

By the way, which setting do you have it on? Middle or the highest one?

Na it should be fine. Mines sitting a tad higher at the front to even have the tyre meeting the fender when its running over bumps. Since my gutter tomy driveway is ****tty and i dont want to fcuk up my fiberglass splitters. Even if it was lower it should be fine.

I ran super flush before with my 17" and they were homo gay. I was scrubbing on the passenger back and both my fronts tyres were constantly getting sliced. This was with my coilovers full hard. The car was no fun, i had to drive like a little girl and every corner was a fcuking challenge. I was probably doing it wrong, having not a cool setup. But im over it, i like my setup now. Looks good and dont have to worry about the road conditions.

33mm sounds alright for the back (Its going to be pretty "hella"flush). But definately recommend getting 25mm for the front. Ill take some pictures of mine when i get home after work.

25 all around?
hmmmm

i was thinking of swapping out my 15's in back, putting them in front and running 25's in back
what was the offset of your 17s?

the 15s are cool for auto-x but i worry about 25's

doing this would be alot cheaper than spending 2k on another set of wheels with the right offset

I have 25's on all four corners too, with 17's. Had to get my fenders rolled, but its all good now.

I love the pic you posted up of your interior. It looks so damn nice, just need that 3 post with red stitched steering wheel like I mentioned before. I'd say our cars are probably the best looking car Toyota has ever made. Our interior looks better than that of the supra and our exterior is so damn exotic I love it!!

Did you paint the needles orange or how did you get them that way? I know that the Beams SS-III have needles that are orange, but they are not that orange. Your shift knob complements the white gauges so beautifully!!!! biggrin.gif

My needles were stock like that. Thats how the interior is for the sx-r. It should be the same orange as the SS-III and same with the orange backlit light too.

And pics of my rears



And now fronts



And some extra eye candy

notice a change in your steering and cornering handling having spacers up front?

I had to put on 15mm spacers in the rear to clear my BC coilovers, theres so much negative camber in the rear its crazy, also the arm isnt adjustable, atleast not on st205 its just a 1 piece swingarm.

anyway i was told to leave the fronts alone as it would change my steering geometry???


does it make the turning circle worse? cuz our cars already cant turn for sh*t


also to fit on the 15mm spacers they had to grind off the tips of the studs frown.gif how did u get 15mm spacers on?
