Hi nathan76, nice looking mota very tidy

The only thing with SSS is there are 3 major components figure of 8, drop links and banana arm if one of these needs replacing you really should do all four corners and is about £1000 job if you do the work your self. Get your self on CCUK and check out wiki pages packed full of useful info

Mine look just like your when i bought it


And just over a year later with GT4 spoiler and facelift bumper and fogs


TRD kit on the way

cheers for the comments mate and yours looks very nice too. i,ll be ordering the clear front and side indicators soon.
i,m already on CCUK and ive also already got familiar with the SSS having just replaced a figure8 on the o/s/f.
just looking into what i have and whats available for these cars. seems to have different suspension, brakes, clutch, to most.

not too scarey but i need to take care finding the right bits at ok prices

i like the grill

yup thats right what do the last 3 digits say? E56-XXX
I dont know sorry, but its a stronger gearbox compared to the 5S4. Has better gear ratios, external gearbox cooler and the viscous LSD

Info on the E56

its E56-070 and it cirtainly pulls like a train in all gears and no slower than the volvo T5 i owned before.
also feels and sounds like its got a VVTI kick. is this normal on a stock 3S-GE engine?

hmm interesting that it doesn't continue the trend on like the S54-06A/-06D & the E154F- 08B

yeah its got a definate pull, yet it doesn't run VVT-i, it runs ACIS (Acoustic Control Induction System)
Simply put, the ACIS system uses a single intake air control valve located in the intake to vary the length of the intake track in order to optimize power and torque over the rev range.

for more info check out this info/discussion thread.

oh thats right thanks. i,d forgotten about that and remember hearing about it back in the day

been busy today with the wet+dry and satin black spray paint as the brakes were crusty and the alloys were worse.
planned to do the wheels gold but changed my mind. i love the black on black and a lot of my cars have had black wheels.
i cleaned the brakes down with a wire brush and blacked everything. cant stand to see rust behind nice wheels.
also got me a set of new jap import sized number plates (12x6") and fitted them today too.
