i was bored today so i decided to take the whole front of the car off o_e

removed the impact bar and cut away all the rusty bracket shit from it

and i also had a look around under there on how best to duct the brakes

looks better doesnt it

You old tart! Next you'll be painting it silver and spraying TRD on it

Is there any weight that you can remove from the back? The weight distribution is light on the front anyway, isn't it?

haha no way, nothing being sprayed on that radiator

i'm really impressed that it's totally intact! the're usually knackered by this age

as for rear weight, there really is nothing else that can be removed/cut away etc. it's only really the cockpit that you can start to shead some weight.

Looks good Dan. You could really do with some mesh in there to stop any stones thrown up from cars in front damaging the rad.

cheers Tony, i did think about fitting some mesh but there's been naff all protection there for the last 3 years, so not going to bother

(que a massive brick hitting the radiator next week)

more parts arrived today

my TRS tow strap and rear discs, just waiting on the decat pipe and ultra racing rear chassis brace

Edit; decatted

okay so i've fitted the discs on as seen below, much better than that old shit i had on there

also i fitted the decat pipe on and wow, talk about breathing easier

best thing of all though is how deep the exhaust note is! it's brilliant, cant wait to hear it at full chat on the dyno

Dan.......how on Earth did I miss the new purchases? Have you edited you old posts?

Great news lad; the decat and brace will be nice and like you say, just in time for the dyno day. I still reckon I'll have you

i have no idea mate

the only edits i did was today with that stuff ^

that decat has certianly paid for itself, i am so chuffed with it and the gains it's given me. so much more rev happy and lets the scilencer growl properly.

yep, not long now before d-day, still even if the lexarse beats me powerwise (which it wont

) it'll still sound better
