now that has potential!

Even though I'm a brit, I do like the old american muscle cars!

been made similar to the way I made mine to be honest, good on them for trying.
Don't think I like the round indicator as well, looks a bit too much, I went with 3 straight vertical lines for my indicators, but would possibly try to have them bend around the curve of the taillight if I were to do make them again.

Unfortunately remaking mine are now well down on the list of my priorities, hit a concrete block that was just sitting in the road just after a dark corner the other month so am having to rebuild my front valance because of that, got some fibreglass front wings to put on after bonding in some vents. Also the vent I bonded into the top of the front bumper is starting to crack so need to tackle that too, shame its now winter so flipping cold out in my shed now bbbrrrrrrr

My GT and GT4 are both 1994 and the light fittings are the same mate.

haha don't we all mate, I just keep moving them from one side of my shed to the other.

bloody house still hasn't sold yet so no sign of me getting a garage anytime soon.

nice one mate, and well done for daring to be different

They are mine and ya can't I'm afraid because I made them and now they are in pieces awaiting remaking. Unfortunately I haven't had the time to remake them since I dismantled them over a year ago. Plus I don't have a garage and since the girlfriend moved in with me I'm not allowed to do anything remotely smelly in the house (i.e. painting, fibreglassing, fillering etc etc ah the joys of not being single! haha)

Thanks for liking them enough to want some though buddy.

blimey, $240 thats alot of money to chop up and then possibly not have anything to show for it if it all goes wrong. Still respect to you for trying anyway matey.

Just for an update, I ain't done anything with my lights yet, but I am hoping to move house soon and I am definitely having a garage this time so I will then be able to make more of a mess without the ball and chain shouting at me

Anyway, not forgotten about you guys, as I have them all seperated I will also try to remember to take some assembly pics and write a little howto for ya (don't wanna make it too detailed as its good being the only one with em in the world bwah hahahaha

Anyway, something will appear this year guys. stay tuned.

i try to flash, but always raise a wave hand

yeah yeah, can i have it shaved on a number 2 round the back and then blend it in with the top lol.

Aw no not a hair dressers car!

See I got the GT4 when I still had the GT, just swapped over all the stuff I'd done on the GT to the GT4 and then I could tinker with the engine

Now my sister's got the standard GT which I still technically own (don't ask)

Wow man thats alot of filler, no wonder it took you so long to sand down, couldn't you get it slightly flatter when you applied it? lol

haha see all cars in Hull are AWESOME!

nice find dude.

Matt, you can get a set of HID's from fleabay for about £45, these are miles better than the standard headlights and I've had mine in about 6 months now with no problems. Nice car by the way.

Easiest and most cost efficient mod is a boost controller, raise the boost from 10-11psi standard to 17psi, lots more grins then mate believe me!
I just got a cheapish Greddy Profec Spec B and again I've had no problems with that either, installed myself, then my mate also got one from the same place and I helped him install that too, very easy.

Good to see another faffer, Luke its about time you got yourself one, then you can really join the GT4 clan on Call Of Duty!

haha sanding is a PITA!

Nice work with the side gauge mount mate, looks good.

And DEATH, looking at it theres no reason why the hole couldn't still be there, plenty of room. I have removed the hole on mine and put my switch in one of the small covers that are just below the steering wheel, got my Aerial switch and my foglight switch under there at the moment.


hmm, need to buy more fibreglassing resin, been ages since I made anything!

I've only ever seen 1 celica with one on and that was a guy who went to PECM in Italy in 2007, try doing a search for PECM on photobucket or youtube and see if you can find anything.

Nah mate, we get gallons more rain in the UK than they do in Japan. Our roads and cars are ALWAYS filthy!

UK Supras have headlight wash too whereas the JDM's don't.

And welcome Dave, I don't get on here or CCUK very much these days, tend to spend all my time on gt4oc. seem to be a good crowd on here though so I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.

Dan

Respect for bothering to type it all, but whats the point? You either want a spoiler on your car or you don't, I don't understand why everyone's always arguing.

Can't everyone just get on with enjoying their own car without having a go at someone elses!

Currently playing Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Cod5, loving motorstorm its as annoying as the first one with alot better maps.

http://news.softpedia.com/news/80GB-PS3-Ba...one-65065.shtml

So the 60gb had the ps2 hardware in it, yet the 80gb gets software emulation, so the 80gb will play some titles but not all titles at the moment, I'm sure they will keep tweaking the software til it works properly cos thats quite a big selling point really.

wow a used 60gig is more expensive than a new 80gig?

blimey!

As sony create firmware updates that you have to download to the HDD then alot of games then also need you to download this and that update to allow them to use the new firmware. This all takes up space on your HDD. e.g. i got 2.53 firmware update yesterday, then warhawk had a 66Mb update, and GTA4 had a 45Mb update.

You also have free demo downloads from the store, (Metal Gear Solid 4 Demo is like 1.5Gb, so it soon mounts up!)

Also downloadable content, Call of Duty 4 had 4 new maps early in the year, which you buy from the store and then download and save to the HDD for use during the game. (These are now included in the Game of the Year edition)

Things all mount up though, I've got a 60gb one and I always hover around having about 7Gb of free space on it. AFAIK the 60Gb is the ONLY one thats backwards compatible (Unless one of the firmware updates added it for the later models)

TBH I've been looking at getting a 320 or 500Gb SATA drive (only £50-£90) to replace the 60Gb one with, then I won't have to worry about space.

I would take it off totally, temporarily fasten some kitchen foil to the car body, then replace the housing and spray loads of expanding foam in there, then once its set, remove the whole housing again, remove the foil (as the foam shouldn't stick to this) and then replace the foam/housing. This will then stop the housing moving at all mate. So you have foam thats stuck to the housing but not the car. (give the housing a good clean first so it'll stick better.)

Put some masking tape over all the screw holes and try to seal the edges of the housing to the car body though otherwise you'll get foam squirting out everywhere.

Should only cost you a few $$, probably won't add as much weight as loads of sound deadening material.

exedy racing stage 1 full face in my gt4 for about 4 months now with no problems, running 17psi.

don't get a paddle clutch as my mates been complaining loads about his when compared to my full face one. I'd expect a standard exedy would be fine for the Gt with no mods.

also got the fidanza lightweight flywheel and not had any problems with that either.

the clutch is no heavier than the standard one was and the only difference is that you need an extra 500rpms for setting off from standstill with the lighter flywheel, but you soon get used to that and forget you are doing it.

end of the day mate, its upto you what you put on your car no-one else!

hardly anyone in the world likes the veilside kit but I still love it so thats why I still have it, once I get bored then I might change but for the amount of effort I've put into it its not gonna be any time soon.

And HELLO to everyone, I ain't been on here for ages, 128 pages of new posts to be exact, sorry. Hope everyone is well!

don't know of any off hand, but even if you were to get 1 then I doubt it would be as simple as replacing the switch, you'd need to swap the whole control unit that switches the relay on and off I would expect.

Good old Japan don't care if your child gets its head stuck in the window haha! Stupid UK Human rights people!! It'll do the kids good, never did me any harm getting my head stuck in things!


Personally I wouldn't have thought it would matter because we don't have a frame around the wondow so at worst all it would do would be push the window out away from the body of the car?
