I do have one question, the Toyota alarm in the spare wheel well, can it be moved at all?

Anonymous · January 21, 2015, 22:02

Yeah, there is a how to on this site for moving it out the way

Sadlebag · February 7, 2015, 18:06

Finally got the wheels on, I quite like them

Suit the car! Could take it rallyX with those arch gaps! Did you order some miesterR coilovers?

Sadlebag · February 7, 2015, 19:30

I'm number 8 so having to wait the 12 weeks for them to come back in stock. This pic was taken after a drive to so the suspension has settled as well! The tyres in the front are 195/45/16 and 215/40/16 in the back, beginning to think I should of gone maybe for a slightly bigger profile!

Sadlebag · February 7, 2015, 19:30

Oh also no spare wheel in at the moment so front is a little lighter!

The facelift cars were raised by an inch so it's expected. Coilovers will look great

Sadlebag · February 7, 2015, 19:54

They did what!!!! Who does that!!!

Vietts · February 7, 2015, 19:58

Wheels look great. I was lurking for a set myself not too long ago. Are you planning on keeping it as facelift?

Sadlebag · February 7, 2015, 20:03

Well I have a body kit k have in mind but won't be happening anytime soon! The lights and everything else will be staying. These wheels were very cheap and they are super light for 16s!

Couple more parts have arrived ready for next month, MWR pulleys, the MAF adapters so that I can make my own air inlet and the last being a rear strut brace. Only £35 off ebay but I was actually rather impressed with it, the welds could maybe do with being a bit stronger on the mounts but the thing sits perfectly, fully adjustable and makes a nice difference.

How long did the MWR stuff take to arrive from the states?

Sadlebag · February 20, 2015, 17:15

Got to England in about 4 days but with customs it took 2 weeks in total to get to my door!

Typical! But not bad overall. I'm hoping to buy an engine very soon s:)

Sadlebag · February 20, 2015, 23:21

yeah, its not too bad at all... Did notice, it doesn't really matter what you buy, the postage is pretty much the same all the time. An engine you say, one built by MWR?

No just a celica one from a car, nothing fancy.

Been wishing / planning for about 12 months, so planning later this year. Also hoping to use Patrick, I had a chat with him and has filled me with all the confidence I need s:)

Sadlebag · March 2, 2015, 16:32

Yeah his stuff is rather superb!

What exhaust manifold are you using?

Sadlebag · March 2, 2015, 22:27

The one from MWR, not sure which one it is as he got it for me!

Anonymous · March 3, 2015, 08:28

Oh...be interested to find out which one. Do you mean patrick got it for you?

Sadlebag · March 3, 2015, 10:13

Yeah he did, I think it is the cheaper one judging by what I paid!

That's not I wanted to hear, just about to click on an order for my 2ZZ conversion from WMR. Customs are a PITA!!!

Good luck with the conversion. Got Vinny helping out with mine as I'm a bit of a novice when it's comes to this kind of stuff.
