This thread is a danger to my credit card..

Come on Martin, get on with it! Progress, pics, gogogo.

Have you considered going up to 17" wheels? I found the choice pretty poor for 16"s too, and generally more expensive.

Savage 21 and Savage 25, both in different stages of rebuild, and a XXXNT Adam Drake which needs a tidy up (used to race it). Considering getting a 1/10 Tamiya F1 car, seems to be the new 'in' thing for racing.

I thought that was a TRD oil cap for a minute. They're looking nice.

Well that makes things easier, I'll dust off my Xbox..

I believe there's a singles room for people like you. I won't be pointing the front end in the air without finding out what it does elsewhere. If/when I go for adjustable suspension I will be off to see Chris at Center Gravity.. While I think of it, have you given any more thought of doing a follow up day there?

Good one. Would the battery not be better inside the wheelbase, say, where the back seats would have been? When I went to the Center Gravity open day, Chris recommened putting shims under the springs at the front to raise it - moving some weight towards the rear for launching. I'm guessing that changing to adjustable suspension as you said would achieve the same thing, but give me more flexibility. The hard part there would firstly be, deciding which shocks and springs to go for, and then learning to set them up! Have you had a db measurement done on your exhaust? I need to keep it 'safe' for track days, plus the TSS has reasonably strict limits too. Since it is effectively a project, I've stuck some pictures in the first post.

SOLD I've owned this car since June 2008, driven it daily, and loved almost every minute of it. Unfortunately I've got this horrible urge to get a TT, and I just can't keep three cars. Year: 1993 Mileage: Just under 108,000 (Unknown when KM>Miles conversion was done) Tax: Expires December 2009 MOT: Due February 2010 Price is SOLD Exterior mods (extensive list): Refurbished stock 17" wheels in a custom colour Clear side indicators Interior mods: Alpine W202-R head unit Engine bay mods: Blue (blueeeeee!!!) spark plug leads Misc: Toad Ai606 alarm unit, with fitting certificate Falken FK452 road tyres Chris Wilson fast road pads Full service was done by Chris Wilson in June 2008, which also included a new radiator. Crank pulley and aux belt were replaced by Silverstone Garage August 2009. I would recommend the new owner has a minor service done (fluid changes), nothing else should be necessary. Bodywork needs a little attention in places, shouldn't be too hard to sort. I am based in Warwickshire, contact details available on request. This car will be driven daily until sold.

Get a stripped out NA and a smaller drum kit, loads of room!

Here's the 'ad'.

I'm hoping he'll have a gander at the thread and reply on here, my emails seem to get lost in his huge amount of spam.

It doesn't even look like a real sticker, MS paint job?

This car is used for: Sprint (Toyota Sprint Series) Track days DWYB (Drift What Ya Brung) Current spec (Sept 2009): 2JZ-GE non-turbo (From a 1996 Facelift NA) W58 5 speed Locked diff (which came in the car) Toyota-bilstein stock suspension Small spec brakes, with braided lines and CW fast road pads 17" stock wheels with road tyres (currently Dunlop Sport Maxx) Majority of interior trim removed (Sprint Series rules prohibit the removal of the dash/doorcards unless using a cage). Stereo removed The car was weighed at the Centre Gravity tech talk day. The results were 1394kg, with half a tank of fuel and 78kg in the driver's seat (I underestimated my own weight). Current observations: It's a little tail happy, and due to half of the sprint series courses being tight and twisty I'm struggling to put any power down in the corners. Unfortunately this means I'm getting left behind by the Celica's that I'm sharing the class with. I would imagine the main culprits are the locked diff and lack of weight in the rear... Short term plans: Large spec brakes (Arrived) Torsen NA LSD (Wanted) Road legal Track Tyres (Wanted) Replace missing piece of undertray (Wanted) Refurb plastic headlights Remove remaining sound deadening from interior Move battery to back seat/boot area Adjustable coilovers will be on the list sometime after this, however there are a lot of choices, and I want to be able to see what difference each modification makes. Plus, I'll need to work out how to set them up! A Geometry setup will likely follow. Minor changes planned for 2010 Move indicator function to headlamps and remove indicators (Small weight saving) Remove motor mechanism from wingmirrors (Very small weight saving) Double decat (Weight saving, but noise could be an issue) Remove air-con (Weight saving, but requires a new aux belt) Stiffer ARB (I need to investigate just how this will change the behaviour of the car first..) The wish list: Roll cage Bucket seats (I don't wish to get squished without a cage) & Harnesses Strip door shells, boot lid of as much weight as possible (as Ryan.G has done) Perspex rear and side windows Any input, observations, advice that anybody wishes to give, please do. Please also bear in mind that this is a 'toy' and I drive it for fun, I would like to try and keep the costs down..

Best option would be a welded stiffening/roll cage, if you could put up with one.

On the linked thread it's on the bottom, it's been a while since I changed mine so I can't remember where mine were. They certainly weren't easy to remove or replace though!

Get it in a tunnel Jamie.

The ebay link doesn't seem to work Neil. I've always fancied trying a scoob, but.. not right now.

Can I have a Burger please Ray, without a two hour delay.

I probably didn't give the best description, but I'm talking about the below. Do you mean something different?

If you mean the anti squeal springs, they just sit there. If they're tired and not staying in place then they need replacing.

It's not something I would do, but the end result really does look very nice..

Found it - http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=153084 That car makes me want a black Supra on stock wheels.

No and No (not all TTs came with large spec brakes). You might be able to use spacers to allow the use of 16's, I thought I saw a thread on here where someone had but I can't find it..
