Re: Altezza SXE10 3SGE Beams
So put in a cheeky order from Japan It's a TRD gearbox mount. Mine is properly shagged, so this will reduce the movement currently.
That will be put to one side for when i do the clutch soon, as well as the Redline MT-90 i've bought too.
Now my old Teins had the infamous Tein knocking from the top mounts. So i've gone ahead and purchased the replacements! HSD DualTechs from Driftworks.
They were fitted the same day they arrived!
Made sure i covered them vigorously in ACF-50 to protect them.
Excuse the filthy car, it had a bath the next day!

How are you getting on with it overall? Like the performance?

I bloody love it. The HKS induction kit on it makes it sound unreal. It seems to surprise a lot of other cars out there also, because of the noise it makes no one expects it from this car. It's similar to the K20 from the Honda Civics, you do have to be above 4500 RPM for it to go any where. But when it does, it produces power right the way up to the redline at 7900 RPM.

So it's been a while since i've updated this. A fair bit has changed!
Up next came a set off Rota Torques 8J x 17" +45.
Then i had the Rota Torques wrapped in Yokohama W-Drive tyres ready for the winter.
Then some 'TRD' sideskirts.
Front lip and rear lip require painting before they go on!
Then came some TRD street pads and a Project Mu band.
And genuine discs

Cheers! They are a nice car. They can be subtle when needed and really open up into a bit of an animal when you plant your foot down. I'm still yet to get myself to a sprint day - but i've always been to interested in buying car parts to improve the car and forgot about actually driving it
Re: Altezza SXE10 3SGE Beams
The car has come on a small what since i last update this. I've tweaked little bit here and there.
First off i've cutout access to the top mounts to adjust the damping easier.
Then relocated the Mishimoto Catch Can to somewhere more convenient to maintain. Fabricated a small bracket to attach it to the brace.
TRD Gearknob fitted
Hardrace Rear Toe Arms purchased and fitted!
Then replacement of the bottom balljoints with some genuine items.
