Lol, yea got a bit of a theme going haven't I. Wanted another black one coz it's the best colour (When it's clean :ffs: ) just happened that this was the best one about at the time, just luck I guess ;) .

Needs a damm good polish at the moment a few swirl marks to get out and I think it's gonna need a new rad soon so a nice shiney Koyo one is on the shopping list to keep in with the shiney bits.

Also wanna get a heatshield type affair knocked up for the filter and poss an alloy catch can so the shineyness is spread around a bit all kinda in one place surrounded by dirty black at the moment :D

Then I can start saving for other things like FMIC, hydra nemisis, hybrid tubby etc and maybe some new alloys as athough the oz's are alright could do with something a bit bigger maybe 17/18's, got the original 16" ones in the shead for track days as well ;)

P.S. someone assure me you can't see my number plate :ffs:

[irish_kev]

Oh very VERY nice. Likin the shinyness.

Can't see your number plate

[Jones~32]

Sooo jealous of your car!!

Looks amazing mate

I've got an Aussie DP on the way to me now, so just need the flexi w/sports cat and Nur Spec bits

How clean is the exhaust?!?! and liking the shiny bits in the engine bay too B)

Oh, and I cant see your number plate either ;)

[celsteve]

You missed a bit!! :D

Very nice :-)

[edamduke]

That's awesome mate. Exactly what I am looking for. Did you get the tubby heatshield chromed?

[daktari]

I reckon you just T cut the scratch on your old one. :P Looking good Sketchy B) . Like the blingy bits too (Thats most of it then :D )

Oh and i can see your number plates. Cant see no numbers though.

Y`know i really am warming to these new fangled 6 thingys. :D

No, not that much. :P

[Sketchy]

Mike get it on quick makes thing much better, luckly all the mods bar the flexi where done by the previous owner so I didn't have the struggle of getting the old cat off. If you do it yourself you will need an ofset spanner for a couple of the bolts especially the one next to the oil heat exchanger as there's not enough space to get a ratchet and socket in there.... :ffs:

Shiney bits are great, misses recons I must have some magpie in me :D

All the chroming was done by the last owner as he worked in a metal shop that do it all recon I might get the rocker cover and inlet manifold done as well at some point though...

[Rob_A]

Looks gorgeous mate...making me wish I still had my old black one *cries*

The fact that it is a UK one lookign like that makes it even more special :)

Get yourself some engine degreaser, a brush and a hosepipe and spend an hour or two under the bonnet, will make it look even better under there :)

Yeah, i'm considering whether to fit it asap or wait until the complete system comes Don't really want to run without a Cat for upto 2 months

[gt-dust]

[DefiantFrog]

Exactly.. What is it that your scared of Mikey?

Back on topic... thats a stunning example matey... I only wish i had the time these days to clean mine up a little more! :!Removed!: One of my excuses is that my bag of cleaning products has been moved int he process of redecorating and aint turned up now!

To say im ****** off is an understatment as there must be at least £50 worth of cleaning gear in there!

Mike unless you've got an MOT due soon I wouldn't worry about it mate get it stuck on there, you'll probably need the 2 weeks to get the old cat off any :D

Fizz yea not cheap all this cleaning gear is it :ffs: All worth it when the cars look this good though.

Cheers bud Engine bay cleanup is next on the list might get some samco hosing as some of the lines are looking a bit tired..

lookin sweet matey, how much did the shineys bits cost ya?

That's the best thing everything bar the flexi section came with the car :D B)

Chroming anit cheap though got a quote for have the heatsheild done on the old one before it met it's end and they were all around the £100 mark and it had to be spotlessly cleaned and polished before they'd touch it...

And when did you say you were going to sell it to me??

When you pay me enough to get toyota to build me a brand new one to my specs... :P :D ;)

The fact that they have spot checks on emissions, and that they use a layby about 1/2 mile from my house and I have to pass it everyday going to/from work! :!Removed!:
