Seat is sorted and i'm now back behind the wheel. Couldn't be happier...!

Looking good so far. Making me want to start my under bonnet stuff... Gotta wait until summer as i need to throw down some paint.

Sold..!

Selling my Harness as i have taken the bucket seat out of my car. I brought it in June and has had very little use. Not FIA approved, includes eye bolts and quick release fittings. Can be used with or without a Harness Bar. Rrp is £70 Looking at £40 posted http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/19/b87072f8bde7d3f5c4ab4db168ba1f95.jpg

Price drop, £130ovno, shame to let it gather dust, bargain at that price and can still be had before Christmas..!

No worries, exactly what I have done with my old one lol I may have sourced one, need it sooner rather than later though,

Hi bud, Its not that i dont want to collect, its having the time lol. If you can box it up for me, i can send UPS in to collect it, just let me know how much your looking etc. Defo agree on shipping charges though lol

Hi bud, How much to post it?

As above, in need of a Drivers front seat belt to fit a 93 J-Spec Supra. Posted to Walsall ideally unless close enough for collection. Thanks

Hi bud, I may have sourced one locally but will let you know if it falls through. Did you sell your roof spoiler in the end? Clocked your advert but possibly too late If you have it still, i will take it if you like Let me know Rich

If this falls through i'll take it

Sorry for the delay guys & thanks for the offers. Some of you are a tad too far, the search continues for now!

Well, I got my Tyres fitted, absolutely chuffed to bits with them Braved the wind and rain to get them on. Next step is to remove the white lettering from the sidewalls Just need to find a cloth passenger seat now so I can go drive her again..!

Each to their own I guess, Dont get me wrong, if I could afford lightweight branded wheels, I would. I just have kids to feed and rent to pay too lol

Mine is my daily. Although its been off the road for a few weeks waiting for wheels and a drivers seat...

Wheels landed today, mega excited to see them in the flesh (currently stuck at work) Anywho, the wife sent me a picture. They look great I'm sure there are a few purists out there going nuts over them being some cheap ass CCW replica or whatever (after previously being knocked for having Rota's) The fact of the matter is, I dont care. Nor do I have Thousands of pound's to spend on wheels alone.....

Thanks bud. I didnt realise they did a bigger Engine than a 1.9l at the time. There is plenty of room under the bonnet and seen lots of people dropping any of those 6 Cylinder engines in with ease. Besides, if you cant drift a lower powered car, more power isnt going to help. The smaller engines are a dime a dozen, tempted to get a spare to rebuild incase this one blows up lol

Got the Seat in, wont be bothering with a Harness as its that supportive anyway.

Clocked an E36 with yellow inner lenses a few weeks back. Ordered some tint film and gave it a go. Not bad.... Also just got my seat bolted in, too dark for a pic, will chuck one up tomorrow,

Got round to Welding my Sills up shortly after the Axle went back on. Should be good for another year or two lol Car drives ok, chirping and scuffing its way around car parks and forecourts lol. Being nice and low powered, taking a chunk of weight off the rear wheels was next up, removed everything, trim, tools, spare wheel, the lot [ATTACH=CONFIG]207403[/ATTACH] Also to keep me in place and to shed a bit of weight, I decided to re-use my bucket seat out of my Supra. Ordered a new base with runner to suit the oem bolt holes, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207404[/ATTACH] Fitted the seat and ready to drop in later, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207405[/ATTACH]

I decided to take the complete rear axle off mainly because of the mounting bushes. I have read that drifting chews them up so opted for the Powerflex Black Series mounting bushes. I forgot how crap it is to do this job with no press. Ahh well, Blow Torch with a touch of brute force and ignorance it is then, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207396[/ATTACH] Works every time, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207397[/ATTACH] New bushes went in a treat once it had cooled enough to clean, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207398[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]207399[/ATTACH] Diff welding time was next, seing as the cover is off for bushing. Drained the Oil, cleaned any excess off with Petrol and burnt off what was left, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207400[/ATTACH] Filled the diff with water so the spatter doesnt stick to any internals. Grabbed the Welder and got to it, managed not to burn my legs in the process, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207401[/ATTACH] Left it to cool overnight, drained the water out and other bits. [ATTACH=CONFIG]207402[/ATTACH] Filled it up with new Oil, sealed up, job done

General service work was next on the to do list. Seems to be a common thing I do whenever I buy a car, full service...! [ATTACH=CONFIG]207390[/ATTACH] Notice how there are some Powerflex Boxes in there too.... Also noticed the intake hose was mullered, plus the clips that hold the airbox shut were missing. Not a huge deal usually but it drove like an absolute pig until this was sorted, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207391[/ATTACH] Another quality eBay spec replacment, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207392[/ATTACH] Another thing to make it more driftable was to weld the diff. So off comes the complete rear axle, [ATTACH=CONFIG]207393[/ATTACH] Found some rot on the passenger sill [ATTACH=CONFIG]207394[/ATTACH] All off, was a bitch to do on my own... [ATTACH=CONFIG]207395[/ATTACH]

Coilovers, no big budget here, just some poverty spec eBay jobbies to stiffen things up a little Much lower, although it wont go any further on the rear...

That looks sooooo good....! How do you get on without the Fan shroud? Any over heating issues?

Mk1 MX5 was my first choice, had a couple and know them inside out. Wife doesn't like them though lol
