Sheefa Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Well, this should be a season to be jolly indeed with the amount of work I'm having done! Chris has my car at the moment and all of the parts I've bought, so it's just the labour cost and at least I can rest assured it'll be a fine job indeed. The following is/has been done: RLTC with Digital Adjuster and Launch Control being fitted New KOYO Racing Radiator with Transmission Cooler New Greddy 2-Row Front Mounted Intercooler New Crank Damper New Cambelt change Repaired chassis damage (very light where the old FMIC impacted the front bumper attachment) Full checkover for damaged parts etc When it comes back - Clear Bumper Lights, Repair of OEM Side skirts and possibly a TS Front Bumper! Just wondered what work any of you guys were having before the expensive Christmas period hits us!!? Can't wait to get her back............... Cheers, Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted November 25, 2006 Author Share Posted November 25, 2006 Fantastic Locky. Have a good holiday mate. Lucky fuck*r! Nice Fish. What performance you aiming for then? Around 500 at the wheels surely! Looks like you're gonna be a busy boy. Girlfriend has screwed me over this year with Christmas and her birthday on the 16th, plus my ol' mans on the 30th November and then the usual xmas presents!! Nightmare.

DaveK Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 My rear shocks are being changed next week, but that won't be too expensive. If it doesn't cure my handling problem then I guess it will be back for more before the 25th December. G/f's birthday is 3 days before Christmas. Some of the presents are already paid for though so I don't think it will be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already got FMIC, HKS clutch I've gone for an HKS setup kit, this includes manifold, wastegate, fittings and gaskets. I'm glad I chose this option after reading of all the modifications Homer's has had to do to his. http://www.hks-power.co.jp/products/turbo/support/set/img/image_01.jpg If I can help with any parts give me a shout.

RobSheffield Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 I must be honest, i really wanted to go the XS route, but although i can do the fabrication and although its MUCH cheaper, after seeing Homers thread it put me off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'm having a revamp of the body work - new do-luck front going on with sideskirt repaired and the hatch totally repsprayed to hide the crap paint where my sunvisor was. Also having all badges removed so I can get me some shiney new ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bungy Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I've booked her in for a full service with cambelt with ToyotaTech and looking at leather seats next week. Still have another 3k available for mods and think i'll be doing the exhaust first. Still doing a bit of research to see whats best for car and pocket.

supragold Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I've just had a full respray and widening of the kit, next is full suspension change and alignment then in the new year full big brake conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Nothing. Can't afford to before xmas. So many cheap bits coming up too! Hopefully I'll get my AEM UEGO sensor put in, brakes sorted and new tyre. After xmas a CamCon is on the cards to sort AFR better. The kit needs some bits too.

Sheefa Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Plenty of work going on guys and nice to hear people are going single too before Christmas! Good work Nic and Rob. Nic - car should hopefully be back next weekend if all goes wel with Chris this week. I'm itching to get it back! Pete - have you got problems with your brakes mate or are you upgrading to a bigger setup? Know what you mean about cheap parts too - nightmare. I'd love to pop a new set of 65 injectors and an Emanage and UK brake setup on my credit card, but that'd be stupid.................. Good luck with the work guys!

Pete Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Pete - have you got problems with your brakes mate or are you upgrading to a bigger setup? No upgrade. UK ones are more than adequate for road use IMHO. I think I've warped the discs. They're due a change anyway due to general wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
