cheers buddy, yeah we really dont like the look stuck on gauges in pods either, we wanted a stockish look  s:) :) s:)

also a small update we have been out for test run on sat to the evo triangle to test everything worked which it does so very happy with our work, the ride is slightly harsher very good still, much more direct and much less roll so happy with the springs and polybushes

there is some slight rubbing on the arches but nothing me a my track car buddy cant sort we'll roll then no problem

Hi all

a few updates of the car been a little while.

we brought a wheel flaring tool and had a go at flaring the wheel arches our selves we managed to flare them about 15/20mm

they turned out pretty good we think although we managed to mess up 1 of the front arches as we learnt how get the flaring technique right with to much heat and pressure on the tool and warped it a bit, there seems a fine line to how much heat and pressure is needed to get it right, so we'll just have to get a new wing   s:( :( s:(  seen them for 50/60 quid so not to bad, lucky we started on the front not the rear  s:) :) s:)  cheaper to fix haha

both rear arches are nice and even and 1 front is nice although might need some slight tweaking but we'll see, the wheels look like they fit the car alot better now and rubbing seems to be gone, although we're yet to really lean on it so they may need more flaring but now we got our eye in it dont take long





also sorted out the ducktail we got from the group buy, sprayed it with a rattle can of Toyota 202 black, the colour match seems a bit off but it aint to bad for in the garage, also de-badge the rear looks much cleaner now







Bring on ding day!
