mate the people above me have all summarised it pretty well. we were all young and silly once, but there is silly and then there is plain stupid dangerous. can i suggest you find a local motorsport club in your area where you can go and do some motor khanas and things like that. it wont be the fastest way around the course, but you will be free to spin your wheels and do handbrake turns to your hearts content. you will probably learn a bit about car control and certainly be off the streets away from my loved ones, which can be no bad thing!

No doubt you could ask your dealer to fit them before delivery, just like venetians, different radios etc.

Should be a little metal circlip thing that needs to be slid back along the shaft of the strut away from the ball joint - use a small flat head screw driver. Then the strut will come off easy as pie.

Looks good with the white writing.. good choice!

SS - is it true the AE86 power steering arms give more lock than standard xt130 arms or does that only work on an AE86?

Any radiator reconditioner will be able to cut the outlet off and braze on a new one for you. However if that is rusted, what are the chances the core is rusty too? Would be worth getting it looked at since you already have it out and are going to be spending money on filling it with coolant etc.

Congratulations never. Hope it goes well.

good to see you guys there dfunkt and theNOBBLER... sorry i kept forgetting names... my memory is rooted !

You after the one under the front bumper? Most of the Australian ones are probably different to USA ones... ours generally have an orange / white lens as they have a parking light in them as well. Really hard to find here too. I have seen a couple of completely clear ones on yahoo japan, that might be a better bet.

El Presidente has just messaged me saying he wont be there tonight so not sure there will be many about for dinner.... hopefully someone will be around! I am eating at home before i come in, but will try and get there for about 7.30.

Meeting is on tonight... come one come all. And I will saw hi from the Dwarfman

Ahh this would be fun but I will be at Winton giving my race car a shake down before the Winton 6 hour. Hope you guys have fun!

Meeting starts at 8.. so best get your meal 7.00ish... guys normally sit over near the windows that look into the beer vats (I am sure that is not the right word for the big brass/copper things they ferment the beer in!)

Next meeting on Tuesday 9th September at 8pm. Come along if you want to meet some toyota minded souls into motor sport... will put the newsletter up in the next few days.

Generally speaking having a sports steering wheel on your car will be fine, boss included, if the steering wheel is not wooden. The authorities also like to see the centre crash pad area padded, rather than metal. Never known anyone to get pinged for using a dodgy chinese boss, but have heard some stories of steering wheels coming off on the circuit with these bosses.

Peter Robinson Automotive 17 Carinish Road Oakleigh South Well worth a visit.. but I suspect he won't like time wasters since he is running a workshop, so go there with a plan of what you want etc..

a silver ra23 celica that needs restoring. good body and interior but oxidised paint..one day it will happen :fuzz:

Here are some more with everything back together. Managed to acquire a really straight rear bumper for her from Centre Rd Wreckers so that has made my day. Also fitted my Cusco strut brace (will take photos later). Now I need to find someone to tune it.. a quick run around the block suggests lots of noise but not much forward progress....

sometimes with those yokie style with letters on the side, the outer is white writing and the inner is black. check to see whether you can simply reverse them so that the white writing is on the inside never to be seen...

Less than 800 kgs I think...

Tail lights and some chrome trim on, looking good....

Update time. Returned from the painters this morning looking all shiney and white. I have had the flu for two weeks which is annoying as hell because I should be screwing it back together today :jamie:

pack heat or wear a vest before things start to fly... f**k me we have landed in south central LA have we???

Agreed.. go see the coppers. Hooning on dirt roads is far outweighed by ramming and pointing guns at people.
