New Shiny bit

[Mr E]

Guess what I just bought.

[Mr E]

In fact, I have bought several things.

[Mr E]

ABS still knackered. I'm off to Germany the end of the month, so it's going somewhere for a few days to be sorted. And yes, I need more D/U slugs.

And to have the HKS clutch and flywheel fitted.



As for the other really shiny bit, well, there are 4 of them......

Intercooler on this car is a rad on the front and a chargecooler over the engine. The vents? The big one in the middle is to let heat out. The two at the back are to aid airflow over the engine. And the off centre snorkel type is a cambelt cooler.

I currently have a metal plate over the centre vent as it's cool enough in winter not to need it.

Dude, are you gonna be here for the Jap meet?

Remind me of the date?

Ah.

Unlikely. I need to be in London on the 22nd, and I suspect I will be incapable of finding the car the following day...

[Mr E]

So, everyone gave up on the shiny bits then.

The man wins half a bun. Wheels and.......?

[Mr E]

Where's the fun in that?

Oh, this isn't fun. Oh yes.

I have purchased;
4 Racing Hart 18x8 drop forged multipiece CR's with 225/40R18 Toyo Proxies.
1 HKS lightend flywheel
1 HKS stage 2 organic clutch
2 TRD badges (sad, yes)
5 Valve caps (red)
1 DVD on how to get around the ring without crashing

[Mr E]

Is the bolt pattern the same?

[Mr E]

Ah, MR2 wheels don't fit a Celica. Think they're 112x5, not 100x5.

Organic clutch? Not a metallic jobbie so doesn't hold heat as well, but doesn't destroy itself if slipped.....

Wheels? Wheels are stunning, but possibly a little bling.......

....let me find a picture.....



And on the car they're coming off.....

Fack! How much were they????

Trust me when I tell you that you don't want to know.

Insured for well over 2K for the rims alone.

I believe about $700-$750 apiece....

I paid rather less than that.

[Mr E]

Picked them up yesterday.

I am parking 3 feet from every kerb. Minimum.

[Mr E]

Funniest post of the week?



Not yet, no. Not fitting until the 24th when my insurance is renewed.

Toyo Proxies T1-S on the wheels look bloody good too.
