Coilovers all round now Does anyone know or have a link to the TRD settings? I used these last time if memory serves me correctly.

Thanks guys!
All set up now with the TRD settings and pointing in a straight line, much, much better! Next up, replace smokey turbo (I've been using the same CT26 Hybrid since 2006! - not a bad innings!) and some more boost!

Is that total toe or each side or how does it work?
Re: 1.5 Re-Shell
Is that the one you brought along to JAE a couple of years back? Obviously minus the turbo engine...
Will we see you at JAE this year?

Yes indeed mate, I sold it and re-purchased it and then 1.5'd it.
. I have a wedding to attend on the Saturday of JAE but aim to be there on Friday all being well.
. luckily the groom has insisted on pig roast at the wedding so at least I'll get my fill!

Someone accused it of being'stanced' and said it must handle badly.. I can assure you that it drives very well indeed

Re: 1.5 Re-Shell
That looks awesome Ollie! I remember seeing this as a standard car a few years ago, it's had a hell of a transformation.
