Do you have that white Sportivo thats lowered and has red calipers? If so, bloody clean man. I think I spotted you leave on tonight (Thursday). I'll give you a thumbs up next time

Yeh new engine is better than the previous. Not a huge difference, but it:

-Doesn't consume oil

-Doesn't blow any smoke

-Gets up to operating temp faster

-Sounds alot better with the headers fitted

So, very happy with it overall.

Just some happy snaps after a car wash. Not much done since, had the radiator installed. Now waiting on my new wheels to come from Japan.

The interior is quite messy so I didn't worry too much about quality shots.

Genuine Toyota FX-GT window visors, the rears don't fit as they are shorter.

I know that these wheels won't appeal to alot of people but I personally like them so that's fine by me. Plus, I wanted a change and I got it.

Had the rear guards lipped further this arvo and first impressions are: These KUMHO sidewalls are stiff! That's ok - they are near semi-slick compound so thats understandable. Still scrubbing slightly on bumps/dips so going in for a wheel alignment and see how much camber I get in.

Have parts coming next week. Will post then.

cheers

The RE001's were very good, a good bang-for-your-buck tyre thats for sure. Quiet, awesome grip and not too bad in the wet. I really don't have anything bad to say about it. I went with Kumho's this time 'round as they were only abit more expensive but with softer compound. Definitely more noise and stiffer sidewalls but that doesn't phase me too much.

Will keep the updates coming, tomorrow maybe.

Changed to a smaller diameter (330mm) TOM'S steering wheel a few weeks back.

Didn't turn out as good as I would have liked but my skills with a DSLR camera is limited. "Auto" ftw! I'll be selling my current wheels soon, so if you're keen then feel free to drop me a PM.

cheers
