ripped_fear Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks everyone for the kind words, its a hell of a car and today she is finally fully road legal. Insured, taxed etc. Just came back from the first drive in the wet! Didnt even let the second turbo spool and it was still awesome! Under the tunnel its sounded somthing else. Work is full steam ahead on getting the old silver one ready for her new owner. But come Saturday she is having work started on her. Steering wheel, leather centre console and arm rest all removed at the request of the new owner so have joined the pile to go into the blue one. Also have had the lip arrive today too, so that is pretty much all the bits I have ordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the paint code? I sometimes wish I didn't have a boring white car haha. Lol long term I want to respray it white. Always wanted a white one. If you decide to sell the wheels let us know mate. Which ones mate the jade-R's? They are already fitted onto the silver one as they are going with that one. Have put the Weds on the blue one now with out the spacers on the rear and I'm actually not sure if they suit this car. May look at some new wheels and sell them on, but the new owner of the Na will get first dibbs as its only fair. Will be updating this thread with some pictures on Saturday all being well or maybe even a couple tonight if I get time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig85 Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Haven't placed the order yet but going to get a duren or ketrel DA unit I think. Make sure you get the pro or the plus version, the regular isn't powerful enough to make quick work of the cutting stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the ketral the same as meguiars just without the meguiars name on it it's really good bit of kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 So despite leaving the spacers off the back the archs rub on the rear slightly when cornering. Probably being down to her being lowered on springs, So in touch with baldy with getting that sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mharvey Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Looks lovely Jake. I like the Weds on it but think it may need different coloured centres? Also agreed on sorting the front plate but the one thing that's really missing from the front for me is the Toyota badge. Really don't like them without the badge on front Anyway looks like a lovely car, very jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 That number plate placement won't be doing it any favours Jake! Indeed! tomorrow the work begins. And exterior is being done first, then starting interior. I've got a DAS6 pro - Can't knock it really. Fantastic bit of kit. Ditto. thanks for the recommendation. Looks lovely Jake. I like the Weds on it but think it may need different coloured centres? Also agreed on sorting the front plate but the one thing that's really missing from the front for me is the Toyota badge. Really don't like them without the badge on front Anyway looks like a lovely car, very jealous Yeah think a change of colour will be needed, slighty darken them down maybe, anyway for now they can stay as they are Think I agree, having a new front bumper done for it and will keep the OEM wholes this time around. Again way down the list though. Have to say though taken it for a couple of good drives now and all I can say is WOW the difference between these and an NA is somthing else. Really loving the power and sound. Although the Nur spec drone is a little much for me. Over all though first impressions are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 So the silver one went an hour or so ago so let the games begin! The weather is bad hear so no detailing as originally planned so instead tackeling some indoor jobs. Starting today with the dyeing of the carpet, I had a spare one in good condition apart from one split so until I find a genuine facelift one this will do nicely.# First coat down.

ripped_fear Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 3rd Coat of dye on now, carpet isnt looking too bad. may do one more coat to be sure. Also car has had a clay and shampoo. Look at the two clay bars! This car is dirty! Definitely needs a 3 stage polish, as the paint still feels a little rough (May wet sand the whole car too). But for today its looking better already. Colour starting to pop a little. Seems to catch the lines on the rear rather nicely. Have to say Im starting to warm to the colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 You must be keen to fit these bits and get your bed back? Be gentle with your right foot learning curve in the present greasy road conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
