  1. your cars awsome, the body work is very impresive, i take it the rear bar is just a sportivo rear lip moulded in? because ive been wanting to do that to my rear bar, i was going to get a whole rear bar made from scratch, but this way looks much easier.......... great car keep it up

    Looking awesome! Is that with the black mesh? It looks silver, or is it from the flash of your camera?

    yeah its black, like you said flash plays tricks

    DO the black headlight mod. That would tie it together perfectly with the black mesh.

    Otherwise that front bar looks real good.

    thx, yeah ive thought about doing it, bit of a pain though, but yeah i think it would look real good.

    picture i took this afternoon before work, i realy need to take time to take some good shots till then this will do......... :(

  3. the reinforcement bar looks good, but is that engineer approved as you were suggesting earlier? looks as though you have only 2 bolts holding the bar in place... does the original only use 2 as well? if the engineer and insurance companies have no problem with this then ill definately look into getting one made for my car. looks better and possibly stronger than stock??

    sorry to say but the first pic of the frontbar unpainted looks cooler than after its been painted?! stands out more if it was flat black.. almost carbon fibre looking lol! but yea im sure the car with the newly painted front bar looks better if you took a pic during the day. well done overall!

    i havent had it engeinered, im sure it would pass.....its more for my peace of mind than any thing, it has 2 front nuts and 2 top bolts holding it in so 4 all up, the whole reason for making the bar was because i couldnt fit the bar with out hitting that section where the bottom bolts are

    yeah its a bad picture, ill get some better ones up when i can. i allso think the front end looks a bit plain now needs some thing, maybe eyelids or a badge of some kind on the grill, but im not a fan of eyelids

  4. bit of a rush to get the bar on and make the reinforcment bar yesterday morning, but its on.... still needs fine tuning to get the lines matched up 100%

    i think i couldnt of taken a worse picture if i tried, ill get better ones soon

    heres the bar we made, on the car and lined up with the stock one, material used was 4130 Chromoly steel

  5. This is wat a wrote on my facebook on C Ron...

    Goodbye, Get lost & Get Farked...!!!

    SAF is probably glad to get rid of a ego maniac who put himself always before the team, read a couple of articles and im happy that he is gone coz Man Utd will have better spirit where no one is hogging the limelight or at least have freaking ****eloads of distraction linking to big money move elsewhere...

    SAF tried to mold him to the 21st Century perfect player, by and large he did well except C Ron's ego on self importance is just too hard to drill into and get the message across...

    I hope to see C Ron do well in Real coz if he fails to make an a meaningful impact, he will wish he never dream that dream...

    Oh lastly... they have Kaka, Robben, Shenider and C Ron who all needs the ball to be effective... who is gonna track back and who is gonna defend? And most of all will his new team mates accepts him with open arms with all his egos etc... or even give him the ball when he demands it...

    /end rant... :P

    in his defence, he's a monster of our creation, if you got paid $500,000 a week wouldnt you think you were the shiz?

    i can see why people think his an ***** but remember all the highlights of entertainment he has given us, and your acting like he owes you something

  6. something strange.

    You have the Oil Catch Tank return on the front of the intake manifolds.

    in my engine (european 3zz-fe) the same valve is located on the rear of the manifolds, near the throttlebody.

    I think different continent different engine :blink:

    im actually having problems with my hoses at the moment, they seem to be collapsing from i think a combination of heat and oil vapour, i cant really see why this should be happening because they are the highest quality industial double layered silicone.

    i think by popular demand the mesh inserts will have to be black.............. allso on the side skirts i wont be useing the standard grill with backing plate, rather bar mesh and the backing plate

  7. finally had the time to paint my bar this morning, turned out very well for a rush job........ :D

    im kind of stuck on whether to paint the mesh inserts black or leave them silver, opinions needed, im likeing black at the moment.also making a numberplate bracket to mount the numberplate on the left below the side vent

    hopefully will do the fit up this week........

  8. in theory you have a good idea, in practice not so much, are you saying your business would be 2zz/1zz specific? or general toyota?

    if you were to specialize in zze's i think you would find it very tuff to make a living out of it, if you crunch the numbers you'll see that you'd barely scrape by, and thats if you had already carved a name out in the industrie.

    ask your self how much money youd make from installing cai's or porting headers, and its not even the labour cost issue which is where youd be making your money its ''demand factor'' if your thinking about the more serious side of zee tuning your in a even bigger hole, i can count the number of highly tuned zze's that i know on 1 hand.........

    i know this sounds awfully negative, but its reality

  9. mate this happen to me before gave my code twice n it was a shade lighter. Rang up 5 different toyota they said they dont supply for our model. Finally one said the code is only the colour but there is 5 different shades told me to go down the street to a touchup n paint shop.ull need 250ml cost 40-50. maybe it was just my colour or go to a automotive paint supplier they electronicly test it.

    most colors have 3 or more shades because of different year models, and those electronic testers are garbage they only give you a very rough mix and you have to eye match it from there.

  10. I think Rui Costa was a really good portugese player in the late 1990's. He was so skillful with the ball almost like an artist on the field. :)

    Rui Costa Demo!

    yes rui costa was was just beatifull to watch, his close control was stunning and the way he struck the ball amazing..... i always liked figo better, not because he was better but because he had a spark about him that costa didnt, costa was all class while figo like to put on a show which was great to watch.

    alot was promised by the so called portuguese golden generation, but they never delivered.

  11. ronaldo leaving man u had to happen, in my opinion kaka is finished, ronaldo on the other hand has almost hit his peak and will be swallowed up and spat out by madrid those ***** holes, what a waste of talent.

    ronaldo in my opinion is the best portuguese player that i have seen play not including eusebio which was before my time, figo was also a great who did the unthinkable and left barca for real............the sad thing is he could never bring a world cup home to portugal, that job has now been handed to ronaldo.

    i think nani should be given a chance to prove him self i think he's highly under rated, at the end of the day football clubs are businesses and are there to make money, you can compare them to any business so the risks are the same, football ''playing'' at times seems to only be a byproduct
