DannyW Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Seats Yeah it was me at Stoneleigh mate, seems like aaaaages ago now. Congrats on the new arrivals (baby and supra ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 first things to get are group A dump valve, front mount IC as it still has original will does not look good loads of fins missing and i want a sublte kit and trd rear wing ... The first thing you'll need is a Shift key on your PC to make the capital letters work Welcome my friend and I hope to see you at JAE. Your car looks great and as I have never seen a Jap spec one in this colour so I assume that there is more than just the scoop which makes this a UK model. Our Welsh mate Chenco9 has the same model/colour but yours is much shinier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 thast only cos its dirty i have not cleaned it since i have bought it will clean it and get some pics up not long had a front end spray due to scratches (i have known the car for years now) danny it was ages ago a few years now YOU WANT MY SHIFT KEY TO WORK why ?? :) yeah it has the uk horns and clocks as well not sure what else the uk ones have other than more power standard than JDM cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vvteye Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 YOU WANT MY SHIFT KEY TO WORK why ?? :) You're not fooling anyone mate... That's your Caps Lock It's got a lot more than that... sure there is a thread here listing all the bits but glass headlights for a start means you don't have a yellowing problem. cruise control... that's another one...

Peter P Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Hi and welcome aboard!! If it's a UK (owned one till recently) you should have the following: - Headlight washers on front bumper - Bonnet Scoop - Cream/Tan Leather Interior - Glass Headlights - Taillights that go orange, red, white then red unlike the Jap spec which go Orange, red, red, then white - a resistor that is connected to the passenger side front suspension turret (black cage with 3 bolts from memory) - Bigger UK brakes (hard to tell as most imports have these now!) - Bigger 550cc Injectors (wont see them without removal though!) Think that's a fair few good ones to check! Looks like a lovely example and you're right to be proud of it. All the best, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistol pete Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 do not worry i am the 4th owner it is defo a uk car which is good also things to do to it first of front mount or at least a new ic as old one look knackered as for power has enough fo rme for now only running 1.2 but the turbos can take up to 1.7 but am happy with what i am running at the mo will want to do trd rear spoiler, blitz or bomex front and skirts another first to do is the stereo with sub being held in with rope is no ideal so playing around with the stereo on FCD and boost contoller placement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
