thanks. :)
 
bit out of the blue, but the car started missing badly on monday. managed to drive it to and from work, but at only partial throttle.
had a look at the disty cap, and it was fried. the main lead had corroded into it.. and the others werent so great.
i didn't have much of a choice really, as this is my daily, so went went to Repco and bought the only brand parts they carried. the cap looks like its molded off the original Toyota unit, but is black, and should be fine. The leads are Champion branded steel leads, which should last too. the whole lot was $200, and would've rather spent that money on getting original red TGP ones, but ehh.. i needed them asafp, and its no biggie. At least it will be fine for years to come!

Bead blasting should get the aluminium bits looking like new (obviously cant to that the the internal precision areas though).
 
I would run some sort of intercooler though, dont do the VL setup.
 
Your car looks awesome, makes me want to get an AW11, which is really saying something!!
 
Cheers

Raybrig's came from yahoo japan, but are easy enough to get here anyway. i just dragged them across with the extractors.
The HID's are from always-classy ebay! they were one of the few that were actually IN australia, and were in melbourne! got them in 1 day. :P

moooooooore driving around...! aah.. the places lil red goes!

still needs a new reo. you can see pretty clearly in this pic how its been bent down on one side. :(
I'm still meaning to chase up Toyota for a handful of genuine parts.. i want:
- front bumper reo
- front indicator/parker lenses
- RHR C-Pillar trim
- and maybe some new quater panel indicators.
then give the front another touch up! keep it looking sharp! :)
 
but, back to the pics...

the fiery orange tree is nice, but whats that in the distance?!

more trees!


nice autumn colours.

cleverly managed to focus on the logs, rather than the wheel i meant to. pure talent. <_<


aargh!


 
aaand, thats about it?

thanks mate. :)
 
for a tad of variety (and with 5 days off i have nothing else to do..!) i swapped a few bits around and went for more pictures.
yes, more pictures.
just when you thought this thread didnt have enough.
more.



love these two...


was a nice sunset..


 
as you can see in the pics; the car has currently got on its radtastically 80's Simmons V4's, Momo, and the Genuine Toyota SKI rack. because its clearly snowing. NOT to be confused with the Toyota Surfboard rack i also, somehow, for god-only-knows what reason, have.
 
aaaaanyway, will be going back to the other bits tomorrow - but it's a bit of fun for a couple pics. :)
