Unfortunately for me and what is available in my country they are just custom made cobra springs, I had ordered toyota supra tein springs with a 50mm drop but the place that stock all the suspension gear for our country went out of business, when I went to pick them up there store was empty and my stuff was left at the counter. I assume they couldn't make them in time before they closed down so they gave me them for next to no cost.

Me too, Just a little bit of a wait for the rest of the items then will get them installed and do the brakes at the same time, should be super rigid with next to no body roll

Received my clutch master cylinder, final piece to the puzzle also got it installed before it got dark tonight, pretty happy. What a tight squeeze to get the nuts off!

My fathers mate came around tonight with the shifter boot, it is amazing. Using our own real leather he had a family friend make it, handbrake one will be done this week

 

[ryansmith]

Put the new shifter boot on also the surround for the head unit/heater/ashtray ect

Oh, also my bonnet struts arrived, my bonnet will now hopefully stay up and I can say bye to my trusted plank of wood. Installing these tomorrow

This is a very satisfying upgrade. It really is the small things.

Oh you wouldn't believe it right? Just installed them and wondered why I never replaced them the day I got the car, would have most of the work I've done that more straight forward, thanks for your feedback

Front sway bar arrived today, last part is the other rear shock which is coming at the end of July. Also put the bonnet struts in

 

[ryansmith]

A couple of shots from today, I have a new camera now so no more crappy Iphone pics

My favourite

 

[mytmk3]

that front on shot is AMAZING!!! love it realy shows the widebody lines

 

[ryansmith]

To be honest these photos are the first real shots I have taken with a camera, other photos have been quick snaps with my phone. So thanks! I'll keep using the new camera from now then! Thats what I was thinking while taking the photo, more updates to come my room is full of new parts to get on the car, can't wait

These are the cobys I was describing before, you may call them cherry bombs or call them by another name. I am having to re do my exhaust so why not go with something a little different and larger, two inch should be enough, I think the original system is just under two inch...

 

[ryansmith]

I got a good deal on a head gasket set, arrived today. My plan is to buy two new cam covers and get them re painted along with a few other components and over time I will do the whole engine and bay.

 

[ryansmith]

Received the 7mge n/a headers this morning can't wait to install them with the new system

 

[ryansmith]

Early morning start up here in NZ

Cam covers received today, may go with all black with silver detailing, letters numbers and lines
