Yeah, that's my thoughts pat. I have actually lowered the back a little more since the pics. Just setting the spring preload. Going to drop the front down before I get the geo done.

Just picked up a couple of new bits. Stainless manifold and a front strut brace.

Does anyone know if the Toyosports manifold fits without any problems?

It will if you haven't got a charger Smile just check the clearance on the lambdas when you've fitted it or move the one that's likely to catch as a precaution.

Is it the rear one that catches? Is it worth getting it moved? If so where too?

No idea sorry. I think it'd right about the charger cradle though. Most aftermarket one are like that.

This is mine:

[Image: IMAG0048_BURST002.jpg]

Still not ideal but definitely better (the lambda is bent cos it hit the chassis before I could move it)

It needs to be moved another 20degrees I think and then it would be totally out of the way.

This is a pain, I don't have the time to test fit it. Any time I spend on my car is limited due to family and work commitments. Is there any adaptors I can fit to move the sensor round to a right angle? Or does the end have to be in the exhaust flow?

Right time for a quick update. Things are finally moving a bit quicker!
Bought a stainless manifold and strut brace this week from Cammy. (thanks again buddy)

Managed to get the strut brace on with out any problems! YAY! if only all mods were this simple! Here is a quick pic!

[Image: IMG_0786.jpg]

Right, so the plan of attack!
Going to either heat wrap or ceramic coat the stainless manifold. Depending on cost I have found a place local that does ceramic coating.

Then got a aluminium radiator and rocker gasket due from Cammy when he has taken it off his old car. So going to do them at the same time I do the timing belt and water pump. Also going to do power steering pump and crank shaft oil seal too! Aiming to do all of this is a weekend with the help of a friend. And this should give my tired engine a new lease of life.

Then I need to get the car into the body shop. Still trying to find one that I can trust, I only want the best. That's for the sills bonnet and bumper. I want to get the number plate holder removed and smoothed over. Also need to order an altezza badge from Toyota.

Little jobs that need doing are swapping the drivers seat over with a spare I have so the electric adjust works, atm it only moves forwards and back. Got some audio stuff to sort, got a couple of amps to fit, and if money allows I would like some new speakers and dynomat.

And I would like this all done by JAE! Might not sound a lot to some of you, but with how many hours a week I work and a wife and three kids. This is a lot of time and money I don't have. And also have my first wedding anniversary and wife's birthday between now and then too.

With all this work I am planning to carry out on this car, I have decided to keep it for a bit longer. And not get an Altezza, but if I can get all this work done before JAE then over winter I am going to look at doing a home-brew supercharger kit.

You can but I wouldn't recommend it considering those lambdas control the engines fuel mixture and personally I want it to be as accurate as possible.
