Nice to see you noticed my 'intentional' typo LOL

Once again we've got the 3S-GE over here not sure what engine codes you all get in various parts of the world

She'll need a few little bits doing but she's pretty fun to drive,

I need to adjust the coilovers / remove the spacers as she's stupidly stanced at the minute lol

Pics smile.gif





Hot!

Cheers buddy I appreciate it,

It's certainly not as quick as my 6gc was (not sure what had been done to it but it was very free revving)

I hope it's ok for me to throw a few pics in here as I don't know where else to put them,

I plan on sticking around if I may too smile.gif

I've only done a few little bits like removing the headlight tint / bought some indicators for it so nothing too drastic yet wink.gif

Anyways pics?





Anyways I've seen what the new owner of my 6gc has done and to say I'm not impressed is an understatemnt frown.gif

For a start he's tinted the fogs / main beams yellow yet for some weird reason he's done the dipped beams with a blue tint as well, Not my cup of tea at all frown.gif
Damn....the new owner of your car. Did you two just trade cars? Sounds like he's doing what the mr2 had onto your celica. Tsk tsk.

Yes indeed mate we just swapped the cars over which suits me mainly as the 6 had quite a few little bits that needed doing but funds just wouldn't stretch to frown.gif

I saw a pic of it the other day and almost cried if I'm honest, I thought she looked ok as she was but apparently not the case

I'm hoping I can put a few personal touches on the Mr2 although the base itself is pretty good already just needs his bad taste removing haha
Right then well today / yesterday I've been getting very angry with the car and the issues with the suspension geometry

Not only are the wheels 8.5J wide but they're ET36 all round (MR2's are meant to be staggered) so there's a issue there
In addition the wheels after being removed from the hub have no spigot rings so another issue there as all the weight is going onto the wheel studs
Third issue is that the wheel studs on the front are longer than the rears without the spacers on, they won't fit with OEM bolts so I now need to source OEM studs which I have as well as new bolts seeing how these ones are cheap tat made from Ali instead of steel and have managed to round off on one of the hubs

So after 3 hours of trying to remove the stuck nut off of the hub and finally managing the car is now unsafe to drive until I receive the new bits so I can smash the studs through and fit the new ones frown.gif

Apart from that the back of the car looks better now it's not got an ET of 11 due to the 25mm spacers on the rears which is good, Once I've got the new studs for the front I'll possibly put the 5mm spacers I've recently bought onto the rear to pull the wheels out slightly then

I've also removed the yellow fog tints as well and think I prefer it plain although I'll happily get the MTEC Golden Style bulbs to replace them for the more JDM look whenever I want it compared to all the time smile.gif







More as and when hopefully unless I get no joy from the previous owner in which case I'll be getting my 6 back smile.gif
