I finally have my car on the road, as of last wednesday woo hoo
fitted a fog light into one of the reverse light sockets, so one reverse light one fog light Smile
my plans are so far
TRD replica spoiler ordered
Sabelt 3 Point harnesses ordered,just seatbelt buckle ones dont need FIA approval yet.
Rear strut brace is in the hallway.
bidding on bucket seats on ebay, either going to be corbeau gt bucket seats or OMP extra wide fixed back,
might possably get a FRP bootlid as mine is starting to rust :wack: bloody rust

get rid of 17" rims and fit 15" longchamps, something very wide will do nicely

timing belt, washer bottle, harnesses, supra alloys and dash all to be fitted this weekend and my bucket seats if i win them, both sets are local to me so i can just pick them up dont need to wait for the postie, ofhyeah and a good clean and polish i want to see how she cleans up

and thats my plans for now



found out the 17" alloys are
4x100
weds sport RS-5 Super street
17x8
set on 55mm spacers/hub adaptors

I'm looking forward for your progress - this car deserves it! Respect! Wave

1. Slight Oil Leak from rear diff pinion oils seal
2. Slight Play on N/S/F Top Strut
3. Slight Play on O/S Rackend
4. Slight Play in N/S/R Wheel bearing (not unexpected with 55mm spacers)
5. Change Break Fluid



He also seems to think it is running lean but isnt really sure

Very very very nice. Smile
But why do you need a foglight? I suppose the car did not have a foglight originally? Dumb question
Atleast here in Holland a foglight is obliged if it came with the car originally. Wink

we are4 required to have a rear foglight by law, so all imports have to have one retrofitted to it

arches seem awfully empty without those 17" alloys filling them up, but they seem to suit the car
