Hmm, tried a vice, still no go. Will be calling the distributors tomorrow to have a chat.

The thing is i'm not sure whether its supposed to come out?

LOL. Uhm well i've tried all arvo to hammer that bolt out - cos it LOOKS removable (see pics). But I found this thread. http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=28589 PMed the guy, hoping for a reply. His idea focuses on removing the chassis nut, but i've been bashing at the stock bolt the whole afternoon, i hope I haven't weakened it. I can see either of two options: 1. Remove chassis bolt. 2. Remove 'third stud' from the coilover and use the stock bolt. 3. Give up and accept the fact I shouldn't really be trying to mod a toyota :P I wonder what Justjap will say if I give them a ring? Thanks guys Alf

Does anyone know about installing BC coilovers? There seems to be this extra bolt that isn't present on the stocks, and there is a welded nut in the boot that's stopping the coilovers from fitting. Sorry my explanation doesn't really make sense, hope these few photos help. Side on And the stupid nut welded to the chassis. Thanks in advance Alf

Just a couple more pics from a proper camera :P Rear vs Fronts Hopefully I can install them sometime this long weekend, if the weather stops being so hot >.> Legend888: I ended up just paying the list price on JustJap for the gold series ($1300), but if you want I could possibly hook you up with somewhat cheaper coils. Also I have a mate who deals with Racing Logic and Megan Racing. If you're interested PM me. Update: Thanks to And1 i now have a hot (literally) shift knob.

Cannot believe how quickly these arrived, esp with christmas so close! Very happy with Justjap.com :D 6kg/mm front, 5kg/mm rear Camber tops Can't wait to install them!

Hmm, having done a fair bit of country driving, you see signs everywhere telling you to turn on your lights - even during the day. I personally think that on long roads, it does make yourself more visible from a further distance (cos you see the shimmer of the headlights as people drive towards you). Having said that though I only do this out in the country, not on my day-to-day commutes.

Minor update, just ordered these off JustJap With all the public holidays coming up, I'm hoping to have them in just after the new year. Fix that Hilux ride hight of mine :P

Sort of an impulse buy - JB hifi were doing a 30% off car audio night. >.<! 200W x2 channel, JL Audio - packs a punch for its tiny, tiny footprint. (Apologies for fail iphone pictures) Laying the wiring And done, just needs to be tuned

Got around to updating - firstly the audio. Head unit, taken from my S13, old school non touch screen JVC. No F*king idea why Toyota would pop-rivet these in, but ohwell. Making spacers out of 16mm MDF. Monobloc Alpine taken from my S13, driving a 12" Pioneer sub

I'd be pretty keen too, depending on when. Exams are looming though >.<

Thanks for the comments guys mods will have to come slowly while I'm still a student. I should be wiring a set of aftermarket splits into her in the next 2 weeks or so, will keep this thread updated. A few more photos for now, just something I do as a hobby:

Hey all, decided to update this thread with a little introduction to myself and my history with car modification. My name is Alfred and I have always seemed to have an interest in cars. It may have started as early as primary 3, where I remembered reading this big blue RAC guide to cars and DIY maintenance that was passed to me by my dad. I still have it till this day (albeit the cover has fallen off). Then my interest in drift started after buying performance car magazines during my high school years (as well as being introduced to Initial D :P ) At this point I was adamant i had to have some sort of RWD Nissan, so I could go and mod it up for drifting. My first car after getting my licence after 18 was a green AE92 Corolla 5 door hatch, was fun, and really let me learn a thing or two about driving. I used to work a nightfill position at Big W, and I still have fun memories of the rainy nights where I had to drive home past midnight. She handled decently (for the power that was put out through the 4A-FE 1.6L anyway), and even though the rear brakes were drums, I still managed to get a feel of the 'drifting' I so craved for during the rainy season :P Modding was the usual 18 year old stuff, interior blue neons, cannon muffler, HIDs in reflector housings etc. I look back and laugh, but tell me, who didn't go through this stage :P I found it funny on one drive home my '5Zigen' performance cannon muffler decided to de-attach itself from its welds to the chassis and then bounced up and down on top of the axle until I had the stock muffler reattached. "Performance" came after saving up enough to afford a cheap S13. It ran the aging CA18DET, but was the Sileighty every Initial D fan wanted, albeit not in blue. But it didn't matter, i finally had my 'dream' car - a Nissan RWD chassis capable of fulfilling my need to slide. This was fun for the 2 years or so I owned her, but as time went on I realised how much of a financial hole these old cars could be. It seemed like I was forever pouring money into fixing the thing rather than modifying. I did do the usual breathing mods, pod, 3" turbo back and FMIC. Also ran coilovers as my last major mod. Unfortunately, in my final year of uni I decided as much as I loved the notion of taking my car out to the tracks for drift practice, I could not afford to maintain her anymore. The reason for the change was that S13 didn't cut it in the reliability stakes, and being a student, I didn't want to keep pouring money into it. I never really ended up doing much drift at all :/ So I picked up one of these, and took it down to Albany with me as I needed to go rural for my final placement of the pharmacy course. This is a photo of my previous ride before I made the switch to an '04 Corolla Sportivo (pre-facelift). She was a KPS13 Sileighty running a CA18DET. Stock as a rock when I picked her up, i immediately went about transplanting in the audio equipment I carted over from my S13. The plan was on doing suspension and handling mods first, then power, having learnt from past experiences. After 2010 finished, I started my intern year (as a pharmacist), and that gave me a bit more income to finally start doing useful modifications. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now, as of Dec 2011, I have fully graduated and qualified and have a position as a community pharmacist (aka a drug dealer :P ), which further opens my scope for modification. At the moment, I know it is fairly futile chasing big power, so i just want this car to be an enjoyable daily which I can take the the track every so often. I'm possibly looking to swap to a Toyota 86 in the next 5 years or so. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the modification list as she sits so far.
