  1. They current steering rack in my Celica has a bit of play in it.

     

    I have a spare which seems to be in better condition, but its been sitting round for quite a while and would like to have it checked over before i go to the effort of chucking it in. 

     

    Anyone know a good place that can give it a once over/new seals etc?

     

    Manual rack if that makes a difference.

  2. SR20de with a VL box.

    It depends on how much of the work you can do yourself but I did the hole swap on my car for less than 1k.

    Hell, for 3k you might even be able to do a SR20det.

  3. Lowered the back and put the pair of 9j MK3s i have on for a test fit, look quite good.

    Then got it ready for Keisuke's Xmas Bash.

    Had a real rad time, all the things i have done since the last track day have made a massive improvement, was able to manji pretty consistently down the track. Tried my hand at some entries which failed miserably.

    Around mid day made a rookie error and hit the front against one of the concrete barriers, bashed it out so i could drive home, but nearly ready for paint.

    A bit bummed about the damage but overall pretty happy with how i went, just need more seat time which is my goal for next year.

  4. Got Todd (driftnmaz on here) to mount my seat, had to bolt it to the floor as otherwise my head was going to be on the roof.

    Also got him to raise the rear section of my exhaust and chuck a new muffler on as mine was fucked.

    Now can lower the rear to match the front as the exhaust wont be trying to smash itself to pieces.

    Then just need to fit RCAs and take it for an alignment next week and am good to go for the next track day in a couple of weeks.

  5. Have bought a bucket seat for my car, but due the cars low roof line and me being quite tall I can't use a normal seat rail to mount it because my head will end up on the roof.

    What's the rules around solid mounting the seat? I will more than likely end up caging the car, getting authority card etc but until then am in able to do it for cert?

  6. Bought some shit for this.

    Got some T3 RCAs but they sent me the wrong bolts so need to get some more.

    Knuckles are being made.

    A mate put me in touch with a guy who made me some solid subframe risers.

    Also finally got myself a decent seat.

    And have some 14x8 -12 MK2s on the way as the MK3s are going onto my Z12. 

    Hope to have everything in by December for a drift day coming up.
