Project REV5 Turbo ............ Lots of big changes

[Race Idiot]

Where did you get those braces from? I've been eyeing up buying simmilar ones new from carbing/okuyama and getting rid of the stupid cuscos that came with my car.

So funny that you wanted the narrow plate rear bumper, and all I want is a UK/Euro wide plate rear bumper.

Mine is here lol pay postage its yours bud

And got the braces off a guy who got them on his car when imported, best part is he charged me £10 the pair if i arranged courier which cost me £7.48 lol

[nbvolks]

Would gladly do so, but shipping a bumper from the UK to the US would be ridiculously expensive!

I can hope and dream though.

Well its there if you want it

They look the same as carbing but they are RIGID ones, looking at their website http://www.ms-alpha.co.jp/ they dont seem to make them for sw20s anymore.

I'll swap you for my cuscos!

They may have been manufactured by Carbing as they produce strut braces and parts for other companies. The Carbing ones are still available.

[Race Idiot]

I can get some on the weekend if your interested, they would need a bit of polishing to make nice though!

[alan_uk]

Yes please mate no harm in looking

[alan_uk]

Well ive managed to get hold of a pair of import number plate clips, so im happy now wont have to keep re sticking my rear plate on every day haha

[alan_uk]

Another day another couple of jobs done and new parts
My mr2-ben new crystal sidelights arrived today so put my white led sidelights in just need silver indicator bulbs now
Also thought the range rover evoque push button looked too modern and didnt match my car so i bought a red s2000 style 1 and swapped them over, got to say i much prefer the look of the red 1

the old range rover evoque button too modern for the 2 imo


and the new suits the car more s2000 style button




and mmy crystal lights which im sure everyone knows what they look like lol



and fitted my white led sidelights



and my new number plate clips





and had to have my wheel off as id put it on wonky lmao so got a quick pic of the very well built momo boss kit really pleased with the positioning of these there made just right imo

I personally would leave the genuine Toyota clear lenses in there. The crystal ones off ebay are poor quality. Even the looms leave a lot to be desired.

[alan_uk]

i dont like them mate

i was going to replace them with new 1's of them but they just always seem to look cloudy and tatty ive had the crystal ones on both my last mr2's with no issues at all

The rev5 lenses soaked in Domestos solution, then attacked with a toothbrush has them looking like new.

my opinion like, but I think the crystal ones look so cheap/tacky. Not what you want to hear, but those rev5 lenses with some attention will look loads better than those crystal ones.

[alan_uk]

im still gonna use them i like them lol

Fair do's bud.
