  1. Yeah I'd wanna keep mine similarly clean looking, paint the new lip the same as the car. Been offered these as a trade but they are only 15x7.5 +15, which will sit about the same as the wheels on it +/- a few mm. Similar size on the front of this
  2. There should be a decent sized earth coming off one of the engine hook bolt holes to the chassis.
  3. The earth on your head hasnt come off?
  4. I'm just thinking plain old boring normal ones.
  5. Wmmh: new job. Taking a risk on this company as it's new but sometimes you gotta roll the dice.
  6. Not a fan of widebody kits. Much prefer bolt on flares.
  7. Thought the exhaust gasket was blown already but turns out by dodgy job of plugging the EGR hole on the exhaust was the noise. Put a bolt through it and no more issues. Also widened the front tint strip a bit so its lower than factory, way better than using a sticker and looks the same with the benefit of being able to see through it.
  8. Say what you want about the lip but it just carved the best bow wave through flood waters so I could get home. Carpet is a bit wet.
  9. I just gotta say I love how this website has brought together a bunch of guys in Australia, a guy from Denmark (sorry Sznaps if I got that wrong I'm on my phone so can't see your location) and a guy from I'm assuming Russia or that Eastern Block area. All talking the same language even if we communicate with different languages. This makes me happy about cars.
  10. My ecu didn't fail, I didn't have a fusible Link and I fried it. Might pay to open it up and check the capacitors.
  11. MAP sensor vacuum hose blocked or split?
  12. Lost the foggies and threw the front bar on. Had to take 60mm out of the middle and trim a few bits. Kinda like the black look but it definitely looked better when the matt black was wet so I think I'll give it a nice gloss coat. Really want some more aggressive wheels, flares and the gurney wing now. Exhaust noise it the manifold gasket, very tractor like at the moment. Anyone know where to get a metal ring gasket or something decent thats not hundreds of dollars? Or should I just bite the bullet and get one from Toyota? EDIT: Nevermind, SQ Enginerring has good ones and only $25
  13. Managed to get a new accelerator cable too. That was fun to fit in my bro in laws garage with pretty much no tools. There's pretty much nothing else I need to fix now, right?
  14. Scored a lip.
  15. Yay, another thing broke. Accelerator cable is binding.
  16. http://www.themotorhood.com/themotorhood/2015/4/21/video-scandinavian-flickfest So good.
  17. Parts for RWC ended up being about $630 delivered from the states. OEM handbrake cables, aftermarket rear tie rod arms, brass bush gear links and shifter mounts (not RWC needed but were cheap enough). Wish the AUD was a bit stronger but hey shit happens.
  18. We're all here for the fart jokes.
  19. Breakfast burritos
  20. I'll take : not 6 grand.
  21. Still wet in this pic, matt black rust kill paint. It'll do for now. And this isnt right, its not right at all!
  22. MCM was always meant to be accessible grass roots driveway mods that can be done by anyone. This guy is on another level entirely. It's like comparing Nikki Minaj to Pink Floyd.
  23. Pulled the frunk lining out and found this. Lucky its mostly surface with a small hole. I wire brushed it and I'll smash it with some rust kill paint tomorrow. Ticked one thing off the list, sorted out the heater tap. Bleeding the system is interesting considering the amount of cooling piping. You have a bleeder tap at the top of the radiator and one off the heater tap. You need to attack some hoses and hang them up higher that the radiator cap. Then you open a tap on top of the thermostat housing which runs to the overflow bottle. I hacked up the old hose to bypass the tap to had to rangi one up to test it, Ill grab a new hose of the guy I'm getting the front lip from. Talked to a guy from the states about the rear tie rods and handbrake cables. I'll probably swap dizzys and sort the sump leak tomorrow.
  24. Probably gonna drop a lot of cash on this for some suspension upgrades and do the lot at once. New everything, sway bar upgrades etc. Also the guy I bought parts off on Saturday emailed me back and said I can have the front lip he has for only $50. Plus I'm gonna have a crack at making a BMW E30 style gurney flap for it. I have a vision.
