What's this place like for unwanted attention on a Saturday night?

My car will be ready so I am keen.

Others can better judge but I've been 4 or 5 times and have never been given grief, cops have turned up before and sat in their cars hoofing away at the dunkun donut replacement that is McD's but we never rev the nuts off our engines or play loud music so they don't seem to give a p!ss

Shouldn't it be Saturday the 31st of August? Unless this month it's on a Friday the 30th :)

updated :P

I'm In!

I am also in pending work/family commitments. As always, the Corolla guys will tag along too :P

BUMP:




Still got pretty much every part still available.


Also, the wheels are now also for sale. Tread is removed and one is sanded back ready for repair and repaint.
Wanting to get around $250ONO for the set of x4 wheels.

THIS THREAD HAS BEEN APPROVED BY A MOD - 69.NIX

The car has a blown head and is looking pretty drab.... She has a tow
bar mounting point, spoiler and electric sunroof from factory. Engine is
a 5S-FE Automatic with 207696km on the clock. and factory fog lights
at the front.

Interior is pretty torn up, but she has leather seats and most of the stock electronics...
Since I do not have a key to the car, I am unsure if the parts are working or not... Everything comes as is

If you're looking for any parts for this or any other 5S-FE engine or
5GC Coupe body work, then drop a PM/post here and I will get back to you


All parts will be cheap so make an offer, but keep in mind that my mate
and I are trying to make some money for his AE86 and my Celica

The car is located in the Sutherland Shire, at Lucas Heights.

Pics:

Almost at 700km and still got a quarter of a tank petrol :)

Any plans yet for wheels?

Well a mate and I have jointly purchased a 5th gen celica for parting and it had 17" wheels that I am going to repair and put on my car :) the tread on them is also brand new :)

Damm! nice piccys too Ryan, totally love the mirror shots amazing

Thanks :D

Had the camera in my lap as everyone started to roll out, and knew I couldn't miss it :P

And finally, the smallest part; the driving:

Part 2: Hunter Gardens

Here are the photos that I took, Going to break it into 3 parts to make it easier to read and actually post... Three Parts will be:
- Wollombi
- Hunter Gardens
- On the road


So, the first part; Wollombi:

All photos from the Cruise last weekend :)

Also checking out some 17" wheels tonight. Well, actually checking out a complete 5th gen Celica that a mate and I may be purchasing :)

Okay, So before I go sorting through my JPG images to upload I though I'll go through the HDR images and post them first.
For those that don't know, HDR takes three images and then merges them to balance colour, white balance, saturation and all that jazz.
So for those that noticed my camera making a countdown noise and taking three photos at once, that was why :P

Due to the time it takes to process and create HDR images I only took ten...
Here are my HDR images:

As always, if you want the source images which do not have the Photobucket compression, jusk ask :P

Can't transfer my photos off the SD card... Card reader isn't working hahaha.... gotta get a new one >.<

Wow, filled up this morning and reset my odometer... 617km on it now, so much fun :)

Getting excited :)

Checklist complete for the car and ready to roll :)

Trying to get some guys from OzCelica to come :P

They're JDM projector headlights and Crystal High Beams :)

They can standard from 96 in Japan I believe

Nice :)

Any plans yet for wheels?

At the moment I have no immediate plans, Trying to save my money for a while with Rego/Insurance and such about to come up...

I was looking at getting some Lenso Type M 17's, Which may still be the case down the track :)

I would like black or Dark Grey for rims :)

They're JDM projector headlights and Crystal High Beams :)

They can standard from 96 in Japan I believe

mobile coverage maybe a bit patchy once we get into the hills

PM sent

PS: make sure your number isn't blocked.....otherwise I will not answer it

Thanks :)

Would someone attending be able to PM me their mobile number in case my group is late getting there, we are all leaving at 8am which should be plenty of time, but just in case...

And the photo update, I DID wash the car (finally):








Will be getting some high-res photos soon :D

So, The big update is finally here

A few week ago I found a set of Projector Headlights on eBay and promptly purchased them. After a week, they were at my door...

I opened the box, and as usual, one tab was broken and another was split :/









So I got a bottle of Loctite 406 from my Girlfriends father and repaired
those tabs. I also added a washer behind the completely cracked tab for
extra strength =]







Now came the adapter problem... The stock wiring in the car doesn't fit
the H1 socket on the projectors, and the ADM park lights don't fit in
the accent lights either... So an adapter was needed to be made... I got
onto eBay and found some extension cables for the stock ADM wiring, and
luckily the eBayer gave me the H1 side and the Accent adapters, so all I
needed was the Male side for the low beams





And so, this morning I headed over to my Mates house where most of the Car work is done. Here is the 'Before' shot:





Following the 6GC bumper removal guide, hte bumper was off in less than 40mins









After some further troubles of trying to get a 10mm spanner that would
fit inbetween the bar and the light, we finally got the High Beams
replaced. They are a direct replacement and so no wiring mod was
required





Once the low beams were out of the car, it was time for the wiring
harness to be made. The eBay extension cable was cut, and the male half
was soldered and headshrinked onto the H1 adapter. In 10mins, both sides
were made and the adapters were installed and 10mins later, the Low
beams were in place. The Accent lights were just soldered directly onto
the ADM park light harness:









Testing followed:



After the test was successful, the car was rebuilt and photos were taken. These will be in a second post below

Coming along nice mate , I'm pretty sure those air horns were outlawed years ago.

I think they were outlawed before I was born lo

Most recent changes:
And since the rear splitter installation I haven't really done much mod-wise...
I have updated all the LEDs in the car that have died for various reasons (Mostly crappy build quality and Australian Summer Temperatures)
Most recently was the SpreeLED kit that arrived, After purchasing this kit, it was a long and tedious wait for them to show up from Britain...
They finally did after 2 months and I straight away put the Blue Clock filter on (It was meant to be pink, don't know what Happened there)... And I also put in the Climate Control Unit LED's, which is a bit more complicated, but still easy...

The spread in the Climate Control isn't that even at the moment, so I will have to go back in and adjust the angle of one of the LEDs...
The gauge cluster is using eBay LEDs and are being replaced with the Spree kit pretty soon...
I have a Illuminated Key Ring coming from England (Thanks Josh from 6GC and OzCelica for getting me this), and I have to purchase another Cigarette lighter assembly since I broke mine by accident, before installing the Spree kit there too...

And up until now, that is about all that has been done... Sorry that this was so long, but this is the past year and a half of my car :P

I also have the biggest and most expensive update coming in the next few weeks when parts arrive from Hong Kong, so I will be posting that on all the Forums upon completion :P

If you have any questions on any of the mods I have done then just ask me :P

More JDM goodness:
A week later, the same guy in Japan obtained a set of Genuine TRD rear splitters. I got them a week later, after the post man gave it to my neighbor and not me...

Some of the scratches were pretty deep, so it was time to head back over to my mates house...
We sanded them back:


We then got them primed:


A week of bad weather later, we finally got them painted and installed, My mate took them to his work to get them finished before the TOC meet later that night and the annual meet the next day :P
Before:




After:
