Then you'll want a McLaren F1 & Ferrari F40. Naturally human tendancy to want more

Obtainable dreams VS Cloud 9 dreams
 
I will not be able to enjoy F1 or F40 purely because of the up keep, no aftermarket support (not that I will mod them), hence no fun there either. 
Everything cost a kidney, a man can only sell so many 
 
The two cars that I listed can be had and kept til I am too old to walk. That pretty much covers me for the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's. Not sure about the 10's yet, the real 240z successor next year and GT86 are looking pretty good.

New package arrived, these are the Bride RO rails. 

 
Chucked them in the car, confirms that the rail fits the Super Edition/Hilux Surf Recaro LX/LS seats. 

 
Leather door cards also went in:

 
The idea is to retrim the seats to match the door cards, so look something like this but darker with black stitching. 

 
Interior is basically finished after that other than changing the gear knob to the longer momo Anatomic black knob.

The Shift Knob turned up today so it went in:

 
Feels wayyyyyy better than the previous spherical knob, it follows the contours of the hand as well as the fingers, almost like a pistol grip.

Howdy. Another nice doorstop. Do you, by chance, still have the centres for the Enkei Racing wheels? A yobbo in the tyre shop here broke two of mine & the car looks totally diferent with black centres. If so, & you're prepared to sell them, how much do you want for them?

Hey mate,
If you had wanted the old shift knob, I would give it to you for free.... It's in as new condition so you just need to pay for shipping. 
 
Unfortunately as I am running 15x8 +25 all round, I need a set of definite legal wheels just incase as well as a set of track wheels. sorry I am not able to part the centres...
 
Just wondering though, what the hell was the yobbo trying to do to actually break the centres? They had absolutely no need to touch that if they were just changing tyres...

Where did you buy the BC coilovers from?
Did they take long to arrive with the spring rates you ordered?
How much were they?
 
Sorry for all the questions :) I am just in the process of installing king springs in mine and have noticed that all the shocks are no good and the front top mounts are rooted. Might as well buy complete BC's and replace the lot.

I got them from JustJap
http://justjap.com/store/..uct.php?productid=19251
Same price as listed with free delivery. It had to come from Taiwan so it took about 1 month all up before I got mine.
 
I did want to buy from overseas but there is a distributors agreement as suggested by the distributors in the US so only justjap can supply Australia.

Thanks anyway. The centres have to come out for most balancing machines. He managed to break off a couple of the clips that hold the centre into the wheel, & the only other ones I have been able to find in the correct size are black & say ALLALONE. A bit of a sad statement! See the pics from the NSW run to check the different ollk (mine's the white/gold Super Edition).

The thread is MR2 Club NSW October Run. Should come up if you ask for Recent posts & change your 'last visit' date back a day or two (last update was 4th Nov).

Nice work! Adub is looking sweet inside and out!
Cheers for the hot tip with the super edition seats and Bride RO rails!
Must get one of those brake cylinder stoppers.
