Havard Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Hi guys!! Finally bit the bullet and splashed out on a White 96 Facelift SZ-R. Went all the way to Fife to view it and glad I did as I am chuffed to bits with it. It needs a couple of touch ups and a couple of electrical problems sorted and we are on our way to being a tidy motor. Pics are here! http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/7607/96facelfitrearst3.jpg http://img187.imageshack.us/img187/9056/car1kj7.jpg It is a pleasure to drive with no squeaks or rattles. Sounds great. Handles like shit to a blanket except one moment on a wet roundabout where I pushed it a bit but generally great!! Can't stop grinning!! H.

Havard Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Looks very nice, well done mate. How about the engine?? Has it been touched?? What do you mean by touched. I think it's stock. Stock air box anyway. Doesn't look modified from the outside!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks!! The panic for mods has started. I want the alloys re-furbed and I've pm'd Gzaerojon about some angel eyes. Leather seats with Supra logo soon too. I am probably gooing to stick with the stock airbox. Which is the best induction kit and is it massively better than stock. I will be avoiding the HKS. I now feel officially part of the club!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Anytime Gaz. Im assuming that reply wasnt for the swapping wheels question?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share Posted February 5, 2007 Im assuming that reply wasnt for the swapping wheels question?? You might not want to swap these wheels. I have discovered that the tyres are 235's all round. How wide would the wheels be 8"?? The wheels are 18's but I thought the rear tyres would have been wider than that?? H.

Probably a 9.5"-10" maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
