Cheers guys, been wanting one for ages but never got the right opportunity til this one popped up 30miles away
It will hopefully be going on the next project if i get the rest of the kit the way i want it

I'm getting old mate (32) can't manage a manual and a clutch in rush hour traffic anymore lol. Got the beemer for my daily journeys. The 2 is a weekend toy

I think your bumper suits the overall look of the car as well. Subtle but fully modded

I hear you mate, well i will be working in London soon so wont need a car during the week, ideal for me otherwise i was close to get a semi auto or tip audi a5 or along those lines.. Saves me putting out more than i have to for now

Nice teaser / sneak peek of the 2 ... more please

Will try get some at the weekend if I get time to give her a good wash and wax
Got a couple of other bits to do first though

[Gullzter]

Services the car yesterday, everything went straight forward, used genuine Toyota oil filter, Genuine Toyota washer for sump plug, Castrol magnatec 10w40 semi synthetic oil (bought 2x4L jugs but only need 1x4L, better being safe though), and NGK BKR7E (6097) copper spark plugs.

Done the oil first:










My how to
First of all, jacked front of car up onto axle stands, jacked subframe up to level it, removed osr wheel and under tray covering oil filter.






Some paper to catch drops of oil, and a bucket for draining.
Removed the sump plug and let drain til it started dripping then removed oil filter to drain the rest.







Cleaned up around oil filter location and checked it fit, then poured some oil into oil filter and fitted it.







Sump plug was then fitted with the new washer and undertray put back together, and wheel back on.




Dropped car back to ground and filled with oil checking it wasn't too little or too much and it was done then moved onto spark plugs.

First of all I removed the throttle body as this is need to get into one of the plugs and undone the bolts holding the ignition lead tray in place.







Difference between old and new:







After the plugs were done everything was put back together and car warmed up then took it a drive for a few mins to test it then back to unit to let car cool down for half an hour and checked oil level again, everything was perfect.

Happy days

[Gullzter]

Changed to a short shifter today, definitely a lot comfyer to use as you can keep your armed rested on the centre console, here are before and after pictures:

[Gullzter]

[mister two]

Silverburn car park is great for quick pics and for making noise

[thomp1983]

What rear diffuse is that and is it painted oem white? If so do you know the paint code?

Thanks
Chris

[Gullzter]

Thanks Kev, I might be selling it soon
Will let you know if I decide to

Silverburn is where it is at, I usually get wild stares in there driving by because of the loud bangs

Chris it is a Toms bumper with diffuser moulded in already from the kit maker, not many about
The colour is Ford Frozen white
