Few more changes since the above pics

Changed rear plate for full size

Removal of more stickers

Then it was over to the one and only StuC to reproduce the SP turbo stickers

Someone has to look good!

Managed to fit my sp badges today and may I say what a great job the one and only StuC did to reproduce them, especially from my rough drawings and measurements 

I also swapped engine lid over to the original one without the carbon spoiler as it suits my theme, shame really as the carbon looked nice and the spoiler followed the lines perfectly considering it was from an Audi TTRS.

The car is fitted with a tiny lip spoiler which I think suits the well until I have got my Toyota Ducktail spoiler.

I also got around to fitting my zunsport front grill and swapped over my front plate to my original smaller design

Ordered new Toyota rear badge

Few small jobs for next week......

Fit boost gauge
Clean maf
Fit Toyota rear badge
Look at the passenger rear arch as the tyre is catching slightly
Then the fun bit......spend some quality time detailing the car

Few snaps 

Very nice mate.
Hopefully mine will look that good in a year or so!

Rough? No there is an understatement! Lol.

I am glad they turned out well mate. Always happy to help and was a welcome respite from the stress of other things.

The car looks great (for a silver)

Naughteeeeee StuC.  Shut your ears Foxy.

Mischief... managed!

Managed to get a few jobs done this week

Full detail of the bodywork and roof, used some great roof cleaner by meguiars which has transformed the roof then treated with autoglym vinyl treatment for future protection

Cleaned maf - always surprises me what a difference this can make

Fitted boost gauge so I can keep an eye on things, currently running max of 9psi which seems about right

I've got the car booked in for geo next week as the alignment is way out it would seem, I'm guessing not been touched since the car was fitted with tein springs a few years ago

Also continued to removed random stickers that weren't my cup of tea

Almost forgot .....

Fitted oem chrome Toyota rear badge

It's sometimes the little things that make the difference

Next weeks project is to soundproof the doors and uprate the door speakers then deep clean the interior and recondition the Alcantara seats

Should be able to put a few more miles on the car next week as only covered 300 since purchase.

Few of the above jobs completed over the past few weeks and a couple of hundred enjoyable miles driven also

Still searching for a few rare bits, I'm sure I will stumble across them at some point...... I hope so at least

Sourced my final rear badges that were missing.

Tf "waves"
Centre MR2

My missing zunsport front grill badge

Finally got my geo sorted, out cars are so sensitive to this

Sourced a jdm rev5 front number plate holder

I've been trying to use mine as much as possible for work trips and the plus side is they pay mileage

Just clocked over 700 miles since ownership and still enjoying every mile.

My next mission is to make an underdash sub box to complete my stereo set up just need to find the time.

I'm still also contemplating tte style bar or similar and possibly a matching hardtop? Also looking for a ducktail rear spoiler.

Should anyone have this available please let me know.

What do we thinking on hardtop?

Yes or No

Good to hear.

Come on, pull your finger out!

Quote from: s12veaWhat do we thinking on hardtop?
Yes or No

It's a seasonal thing...
Hardtop and summer is a No-No for me.
Hardtop and winter is perfectly acceptable, especially given that you get improved visibility.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Stu

Yes - Absopositivelutely.
(Wouldn't have bought Chilli Red without one)

I love the look of the hardtop think I will look out for one.


Sv-3 pm your email I have some pics of your car I want to send from previous owner

Fully agree with StuC re the hardtop question.  Soft-top in summer & hardtop in winter & swopped when the clocks change. 

Looks like I will be on the look out for a facelift silver with Ducktail spoiler and TTE roll bar over the winter months.

Few jobs done over the past few weeks

Installed my vibe 4 channel amp and vibe 6" sub

Replaced my eBay boost gauge with a Tims boost gauge

Still looking for a FL silver hardtop

Managed to do a few hundred miles for a couple of work trips to blast the cobwebs away.

Really happy with the RainSports they suit the car and the recent damp cold conditions

Bloody hard tops 🙄

A great insurance renewal from
