Do a little bit of research and find out what other people do when starting out with a car. Read on other peoples ride threads, and get to know the car and its characteristics with certain mods.

Before you do anything to your car, make sure you know what you will be using it for, how much money you want to spend, if its legal and of course what are the benefits of certain mods.

HTH

Or a 91 model and save more yet again... HELL, why not just get a push bike? lol :P

MRP Coilovers.... AWWWW YEAHHHH!!

I can vouch for just how good they are. Got a 1:49 at winton with them in and Kumho KU36's.. car was pretty much untouched everywhere else...

Im a bit jelly of how yours look nicer than mine though :( haha

I think ive seen your car around when it had the black bonnet a while ago, looks good :)

Turns out i am going to be flat out busy this week, which means i can't check up on the car :( So i assigned my dad to do that for me as its a little more convenient for him ^_^

In other news... I'm going to start applying a little bit of elbow grease to my daily wheels next week don't think ive showed them to you guys before, so ill keep them as a surprise ;)

I know how you feel... I drive an AE82 Corolla and with the stock seat my knees were hitting the steering wheel and my head was touching the roof. im 6'5' lol

My solution was to get aftermarket seats and get rails that sit as low as possible. I havent had a problem with the police and ive been through a number of booze buses, neither have i had problems through scrutineering at the race track.

AFAIK, modifying the standard rails and mounting points requires an engineers cert

Surely you can buy some low rails and get a decent and comfy aftermarket ADR approved seat which should be legal. Ask your RTA/Vicroads for the laws if you are unsure.

Hey Bucca,

Can I recommend you try and sell this on Toymods? here is a link: http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/

Ive found that Toymods has a larger interest in older Toyotas and also is affiliated with many Toyota car clubs around Australia.

sad to hear of your ill health mate, hope you sell this quickly and make the most of your 3 months. Wishing you all the best!

Saw a few nice cars today including 2 stock JZX110's, one in white and one in silver, and then I saw a white JZX100 Chaser lowered on gold BBS rims

*drool*

Take sexy bits from Subaru, then put it on the Toyota = WIN. ;)

But I'd be poorer by $70. I don't want to be so.

Make sacrifices. Food isnt important... you can do without that for a week, then win and profit with weather shields? :P

I want one so bad, sadly it will have to wait until i have money lol

Oh and incase you guys havent seen it, heres Subaru's take on the car.... Got a few ideas from seeing both cars now :)

Try giving toymods a go aswell

I have seen one of these in the flesh and was tripping out by just how awesome a car it is...

Good luck with the sale! :)

Not cool... if you pay for timing you should be timed. But I guess its not too bad... usually the first session is just to get used to the track again before you start pushing the car.

Nice save!! lucky you caught that as it couldve turned ugly...

LOL i was just waiting for you to rip that arm rest thing off when you were raging it :P

Also, that pic isnt working

Gymkhana would be awesome!! sigh ....if only my handbrake worked... lol

Looks neat Mick, I need to do this myself as I hate stock current setup.

You can get a suspension shop to reset/compress your springs a bit. But it will reduce the life of your springs dramatically.

Why you lost control in the S in the last session? That S corner is really ****ty, no idea why they put the hut there...

I love that corner, but why they put that hut there makes no sense to me either... IMO it isnt even a great photo spot

The AE92 undoubtedly was a very good car, it just lacked power.

I just think your AE92 weighed a bit too much

Once again, good job on the time you got Trung!

That ZRE on the BBS rims looks sick! as does the AE82 and slammed Aurion...

nice car, but if you wanted a sports car, why would you buy a supra/land-barge?

Agreed. They weigh 1600 kilos and dont handle very well at all, especially when compared to say.... i dunno, a Corolla?

Nice car man it looks quite neat. I really like the look of these Supras, and i love the interior...

who will drive fast in the snow? LOL!!

*whistles*

(Dont judge me!! it was off the streets :P )

Anything that isnt dry tarmac makes ABS useless, but even on tarmac i find it quite restricting.

Having driven on every possible surface out there.. even sand and snow in a variety of vehicles with and without ABS, my advice for braking on only one surface at a time is throw your ABS in the bin. Driving on multiple surfaces at once and slamming on the brakes is a different story, and will just cause your car to spin, this and the fact that many drivers cannot find the threshold of grip when the brakes are applied is the reason why it is placed on modern cars.

With that said, on tarmac with just street driving i recommend it.

Love your approach on applying all your track knowledge to regular street driving mate, keep it up Ben! :)

DAMMNNN!!!!!! :o :o :o

Cant help you with that mate, but if you find out let me know as well ;)

Thats hot!! still cant get over how low you roll :o

That place does look familiar to me aswell.... hmm....

I have dobinsons rear coilover springs. They are also nice.. but as they are part of my coilover setup, the ride is harsh too

haha im not your average 20 year old - Im good with my money, investing and saving :)

So basically you're an average 20 year old... but the difference is that you have a brain? lol

Did a few little things then took photos before I took it to the auto electrician today...
