man those tyres are suicidal.....beautiful lookin celi tough

i actually bought mine from ebay.co.uk the guy had some genuine junzai/euro kit for sale, and gave a tenner for it

what sorta probe mate ??

yea, the bulkiness is the only reason i didnt buy the actual lip for the faff

i will be chopping up a genuine TRD front bumper to fit the faff, that would be once the weather warms up a bit here next year

7 degrees was the magic numer as per my mate who knows CFD

as for making some for sale, i already tried it, if i was to make and sell 10 diffusers at very very min profit, it would cost £250 including postage, thats just UK postage, because of the high price, i didnt make any or sell any, price was so high cause according to a fiberglass expert the mould would cost to much to be made and bla bla, so i just droped the idea, but if anyone's lookingt o make their own, i can help, its simple enough

i wanted the fins to be more meaty than just pieces of sheet metal, that woulda been too easy, so straight sheet metal for base and cut and rivet the fins on, as for difference, i did all the maths and flow tests in CFD to get the perfect fin angle and height of diffuser from ground, i dont thrash the car a lot so never noticed real difference, but if the needle does go t the right side of the speedo, the car feels as planted as ever

cheers for all the posotive replies fellas, to keep the FG from sticking to the wood, i neatelt covered everything in kitchen foil with the shiney side out so when the FG settles it just peels off, feel free to post here or pm me if anyone needs any help

then decided to move the battery to the boot for a SAI kit



to secure the battery, used the battery strap and used washers to keep the straps from going through the MDF



used the original - terminal, bolted one wire to the strut, one behind the boot plastic and one extra to the rear seal bolt, but before that, sanded the paint off to get good contact and covered in grease to stop rust


now for the genius bit, gonna hinge the hacked off bit to keep the boot looking nice and tidy but have access to the battery, only problem is, the fuse i used blew up when i cranked the car

also running a 8awg cable with my 110amp cable, got a 100 amp fuse from halfords



i wanted the fuses as close to the battery as poss, also had a loot at the battery isolation switch, but it looked a bit tatty, so left it

then the battery went it





then added some matting to get some deep bass



step 1 finished



final fit




then polished the engine bay up a bit



funny thing, when i was polishing it, it was a bit dark so thought i'd hook my spare lamp up, got the lamp, but guess what, no bloddy battery :lol:

next step, new turbo, SAI, rocker cover gasket, cat gasket and custom cold air feed

just a pic of what the engine bay looks like after all the work

well here it is......started off at 12, went to B&Q, got 4 sheets of 12mm MDF, a jigsaw and some screws



first off, made the false floor



than after a lot of cardboard tempelating......came up with this



fits nicely too



than made a box for the subs, took the same measurements as of the base tube the subs are from



screwed the box to the floor



than after a lot more tempelating.....



the garage looked a mess, and the old sub box



than marked where i wanted the 6x9's to be



10 mins later



took the top out and used some aquastec (whatever) carpet that i had left over from my mates car



finally everything is in






gonna be very creative with the little space after the brace....need to save up first



but happy for now



the HU was really bugging me as it was sitting a good inch on top of the dash surround panel, looked horrid :puke: and as i was off work today, had a go at making it fit better, first thought i'd fiberglass the old chopped up surround, but then, decided to hack the brackets, only needed to sand a bit of the surround down, the end result is really good, very pleased with it

the red marker shows how it sat before





the gap between the seats and the build was really bothering me , so decided to do this

some measurements were taken



cut and shut...



working around the sub's amp



a rough layout of how things were going to be



i love it when a plan comes together



the brace sits a bit tight with the amp, might adjust it a bit more tomorrow



a minor tweek today, the amp was too tight with the brace...so







sounds great, the ripspeed unit is awsome

step 1:

make a base using hardboard



step 2:

measure and cut some MDF fins



set em at an angle of 7 degrees







Step 4:

add a bit of extension to ensure diffuser doesn't become an air brake



step 5:

take off and fastern all screws



Step 6:

Fiberglass the bastward with 2 layers



now i'll let it dry for 24 hours before applying and body filler

right, did some more fiberglassin.......



but whats this ????? 2 diffusers ?????



here's what really happened, used the wooden diffuser as a cast and made a full FG one, cause a wooden diffuser is to "BARRY", the FG diffuser is light as a feather, strong as steel......now gonna use some FG filler to smooth it out.......fits like a glove



the amount of sanding to do was astranomical.......anywayz, enough wingin

all sanded and smoothened



and all painted, cleared three coats but no pic of that, looks the same



looks sooooooo beautiful :wub:

looking at it, i feel as if i have made a baby :sofa: i want it in my living room, damn proud of it :wub: cant look at it eoungh.....

fitted pics









enjoy...i love it

A YEAR Later

since am gonna be painting the lip, though it'd make it fit a bit better, so broke the fiberglass kit out again





still got some sanding to do and then some body filler before painting, after i get bored with the lip i'll be doing the TRD bumper chop :twisted:

remember the gaps between the lip and the bumper just under the indicators ??

well...........







fit is 100% spot on, will be painting it tomorrow

painted the lip today, finish is very good, well happy with it, but the paint is a little bit too bright red :blowup: the skirts are going to the body shop for some paint, i'll ask the guy to spray some on the lip too :angry:

today i got around to fitting the splitter, for a starter, it was a great quality finish, but was not a simple fit, first had to hack the top lip off, as the splitter was for a preface 202, then had to chop away some of the corners, and to top it off, had to shorten the whole length by 8 mm as after chopping the lip off to fit, it sat a bit higher and was too long....anywayz here's the pics

the cut and shut job



Right side fog light gap



Left side Fog light gap



and the corners






the corners wrap around perfectly, but the middle bit is really bugging me, i'll take some proper picslater and post, personally i think it was a good laugh for a tenner,



DAY 2:

well, today turned out to be better than last night.....when i went to halfords in the morning, i noticed the lip wasn't exactly "spot on" :angry:




got some body filler, came back and hacked the lip again



to make sure i get a straight finish this time...



when i removed the brackets, the trick had worked and the lip was now sitting as i wanted it to



fiberglassed the huge gap, and sanded down the excess



now that the lip was nice and straight, i decided to re-adjust the foglight corners



very niceee.......I likeeee... :thumbs:

than i noticed that the silicone from the TRD splitters wasn't letting the lip sit flush with the wings....



so



than used bodyfiller to fill the odd bumps here and there.....hardly any filler was left over after sanding



once sanded down, i used G5 to take the scratched from the bumper out, used some black paint i had to temporarily cover the filler



the finish is nothing less than professional



now just going to paint it red and we are done

happens all the time with celica's here in UK too, they r too attention grabbing......if u have a garage....what ya waitin for.....u blessed....i installed a cctv camers just to keep an eye on my car in a locked and secured carpark....

thanks cutrara....music to my ears....



a rear lip would look gr8 i think...

looks like u have a facelift 3 post spoiler, i have a pre-facelift two post spoiler with euro raiser blocks. and yes there is a difference in fittings for both these spoilers.

was thinkin of blingin my engine bay, just dont have the time now, with studies and job, definately on my "to do" list, the clutch is allright, but can be punishing if there is too much grip.....as for the spoiler ....do u already have a spoiler on or are u lookin to get one?

as for shiftin with right, i cany imagine u guyz shiftin with left...there. now we r even....

hi oldie....

well fancy runnin into u....

will u plz clean ur tyres!!!! u lazy bum...

duuhhh....having a blonde moment....sorry

i once saw a GT-4 with a skyline front end, looked like a proper beast, cant seem to find a pic of it anywhere...

how about a standard GT spoiler with GT-4 raiser blocks....GT-4 flushed out of-course...

not entirely true mate....they are made, just not sold anywhere big like shops or ebay.

"Easiest way to be sure if these are right for you is to check the coding on the lenses. If it it reads 'TOYOTA 20-347' etc. these are the ones for you

Price is £67.50 inc pair of amber bulbs and 1st class recorded post"

copied from the seller's post.




so at £67.50 it turns out to be £132.87

a bit dere for indicators, dont u think, anyway, this is the seller's address, u might need to register to login and get in touch with him.

pre-facelift clear indicators

but if u connect it directly to the standard sensor, u'll never get an accurate reading, the figures will constantly jump from lean to rich, what u need is a wide band O2 sensor and gauge, if u have a narrow band gauge, that'll work with standard sensor, but like i said....messy readings...
