The red wheels look pretty gwd you should try one on your car =]
what else you got planed for it ?

Phill=]

tried the red wheel on and really not sure, i will probably just wait till i get my 17s now as for other plans i will hopefully have coilovers on by rising sun and after that just a bit of tidying up on the bodywork front and various bits from the tte catalogue

yeah, iwould say gun metal or black would look good

had black before mate and they looked so small in the massive arches so not sure gonna get it lowered first and make the decsion then

got a few pics of my headunit now it is all fixed in properly

finally got all the bits together to enable the headunit to play my usb sticks. first i needed a media box which converts the digital files on usb and sd cards to analogue so can be played through my unit, nexy problem was powering it as it runs off 230v que next bit of kit my 300w power inverter spent most the day today wiring it all in and hiding the headunits monster loom. Also fitted a 12v socket in the boot area as my ignition button replaced the standard one
here are a few pics no its all in.

the bits ready and waiting


Moster headunit loom


glovebox cut out and carpeted ready to house the inverter


hideaway unit now properly fixed under passenger seat


inverter all in and ready to go


finally not the best pic but the media box in and ready


few other things to add, brake pads and coilovers should be here by wednesday

brake pads and coilovers arrived today

they are only the basic dampers so arent damping adjustable only height but due to teins increased prices i settled on these. they should still do a great job on the handling tho

and with that comes a bit more bad luck - as soon as i have finished the inverter/media box set up my dvd player decides to suddenly stop working. i now have it in bits at work to try and reset the lense, fingers crossed will have it sorted by friday

some nice bits there dude, will look great once its sat nice n low

Should ride nice on the Tein's dude........

teins and brakes all finished now ride pretty well and definatly is slammed now it looks awsome and i finally have got rid of my squeaky brakes pics will follow tomorrow

Standard Brakes

Sittin nice and low now



Next Up sort the headunit and another years insurance

well the headunit is in and another years insurance is sorted also added tinted side repeators and led bulbs and i had a carbon TRD badge for the mr2 which is now on the dash in the corolla.

gotta say the headunit is awsome it looks way more modern than the last one and is 90% touch screen so has no display at all until the screen is out

Headunit



Side repeators - Clear


Tinted - its only subtle but looks better in real life


TRD Badge


Random pic i thort looked cool

Its Been a while since i posted some up dates so here goes. not much has really happened with the car but the addition of a HID kit and a lot of elbow grease with the wax and polish has really freshened the car up

Standard "Xenon white" replacment bulbs


HID "White"


LED White Sidelights


Standard Main beam with HID dipped beam


Found some stickers with my MR2 bits so after a quick clean this mornin i had a play

TRD Logo


Tein man on boot and Logos above each side repeater "advan style"




Nice and Shiny now
