  1. i used to be obsessed with buying cars that had no more than 60k miles as i thought that was really high. As i've gotten older i've come to appreciate that to an extent mileage is pretty irrelevant.
  2. Welcome! That silver veilside supra actually looks great!
  3. How easy are these to unlock mate

    So since last time I raised the height a little bit on both and left the dampening well alone, fitted the bucket seat which is tight as fook and got my steering wheel on. got myself into another drift day beginning of Jan and decided to see what I could do on the bigger track. Struggled at first but eventually started getting the hang of it. this car is honestly such a great package and even though it doesn’t have a lot of power it skids great. I’ve uploaded a short video where I talk to myself but I’ve booked again for this Wednesday so hopefully learn a bit more and get even better. If someone can embedd the video that would be great IMG_0059.MOV

    looks decent that tbh, just not sure if it would on any driveway which wasnt just tarmac (i.e. block paving)
  7. i'll happily take this off you and collect from Poole but not near the price you're asking i'm afraid

  9. Solved mine by buying a second hand one. @Nozstill has my old one to fix
  10. I’ve seen a few around the £400 mark

    thanks mate, i'll do that. Daft question but how do you measure the arch clearance, if from arch to tyre surely it depends on the tyre?

    Got the coilovers on this weekend. Rear took me 1 hour, fronts took me 6 hours. Rounded bolts etc.. pain in the backside. But they're on. i've got no idea what height they're on. And if you're wondering whether the front is too low? Well you're absolutely right, i bottomed out every 10 seconds driving it back. So i'll leave the rears as they are, the fronts i'll raise by like 20-30mm

    Went and test drove a 350z to replace the Lexus, it was a good price but figured it would need a bit of money thrown at it again to get it drift ready, so decided to stick with ye olde faithful. So went a bit mad, spent half the cars value on random bits. Went for some new HSD Monopro's with 14/12 spring rate. think i will need stiffer but gives me a base to start with. Was going to go for BC's which were about £200 more but then realised i'm not a pro drifter. Got myself a 330mm vertex wheel, NRG slim boss kit with driftworks quick release. And also a BB5 bucket seat with side mounts. The seat is for 32" waist but is tight as fook so will need to not eat for a week before next event.
  21. nice ok, looking forward to seeing how it looks as would like to remove mine and replace on one of the cars
  22. what you planning to do with the oem floor insulation/deadening etc now? Replace with aftermarket stuff or?
