That sucks! shame you got shafted with the wheels, hope they werent too exxy, but they do look good ^_^ I feel your pain, in my mums subaru i came back out of the shops and it was parked in the middle of no where, but some prick walked all the way over to it and decided the rear passenger door needed a makeover with their foot.... not a good feeling :( You going to the tampered one this weekend? Will you give the short track a go in the arvo? Best of luck dude! Also this...

Looks good ben! car goes real hard I want semis so bad, best of luck with them!

Still up for swaps on the parcel shelf Mick? Still need to get all that stuff off of you as well, ill let you know when i have some wheels :/

Saw that Caldina last week at the exact same spot lol Thats a sexy Mazda... i think you guys are ruining the photo :P

Need moar pics... where abouts does it go on?

Hey look at what i found hiding under my bed :o So what you can see is... - 18mm 3pt adjustabe rear sway bar - 350mm Nardi Deep Corn - Catch can I also have a 440g Skunk2 gear knob, but i already put that on the car so i can't take photos of it at the moment :( Also, I started refurbing my daily wheels... ill just leave this here for now ;)

I'd like to come to one of these meets... fingers crossed the car is back on the road for the next one :)

IMO KU31's are a great daily tyre, and i will be using them for daily use soon aswell. Good choice :) Ben it isnt like he is tracking the car and pushing the tyres to the limit... because even then, the KU36's and RE002's just cut it for track work when compared to semis and slicks. Coilovers definitely make the car a different beast around corners... have you tried fiddling with the shock settings? youll be surprised how much of a difference one or two clicks makes around corners or over bumps :) Oh crap! :s thanks for reminding me that i have to get an alignment... still havent done that yet LOL!!

Im a bit puzzled too, and i came up with the conclusion that Subaru will just not be able to compete with toyota on the pricing side of things, so they're trying to win the people over with some form of ethical brand loyalty... I feel there is a hint of a 'sore loser' attitude coming from them.. AFAIK, Toyota did all of the engine electrics and the fuel system, yamaha did the heads, toyota refined the engine block. I also read somewhere that the gearbox is from the Lexus IS... Toyota was the first and was the only company until now with a boxer engine FR car (Sport 800), as you said the styling has hints of the 2000GT, a light cheap fun RWD car much like the AE86 which is quite modest... So it seems to me this car is more Toyota than Subaru, they just helped with most of development particularly the suspension and chassis, while creating the base design for the engine.

LOL i dont think thats gonna happen :P Yes, thats exactly what i meant. Could you be able to get me a quote on shipping please? im interested :)

Duuuudeee!! Y U NO VIC? :(

Aww yeah!! should be a good day B) Yep! I had to... Nah, didnt have a trailer, but ive learnt for next time that i have to bring one... dont want to limp home on 2 cylinders for 3 and a half hours again lol

Not being silly. This is how i fixed my AE102's smoking and fuel problems... I poured BP ultimate 98 ron and then proceeded to thrash it hard for about 100 kays then ease off for a hundred then thrash again, until i used up the tank.

Australia day in January, the tampered day ;) ;) You call that limping? Please. Should i remind you of my trip home from winton? :P hahahaha love the muffler statues! LOL Good job on getting those issues fixed up. :)

Agreed. Cheap products, top quality and he is always willing to help with any issues... You'll love the coilies when you put them in. :) I was on the opposite end of some traffic lights somewhere on the eastside, cant remember where... It was a while ago when i had my AE102, so i was camo'd in all the traffic :P

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. ;)

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