SEEN88 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Been spending money First course of action = sort a Y adapter so I can run the exhaust I bought in Hamilton when I picked the car up. Fujitsubo rear muffler! Then wheels, and probably lower more. Oh, and gotta take those terrible decals off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furai Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Decals look cool, 90s as. I love X90s might have to get me one. The Mesh looks quite nice, what wheels you thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 Yeah I might hold on to the current wheels, they seem to be genuine BBS wheels. Too bad they don't have centre caps! I am unsure currently, but possibly big VIP style wheels. I find it way easier to find old small wheels I like than new big wheels. @nothingsfree's JZX90 looks pretty nice on his .com racing wheels though. That's a bit of inspiration.

SEEN88 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Just springs, bought it at that height! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEEN88 Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 Nice and solid up front too, a bit squishy at the back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Can you have a look tell me what colour they are? were you told what brand they were? I want to lower my car but not get adjustables Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEEN88 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Share Posted September 8, 2013 Spent some time cleaning today And checking out suspension Front Rear Black springs, no idea if they're aftermarket or cut/compressed standard ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hachi-ichi Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 You need to kill those decals with fire haha, or just gently peel them off ha. Amazing what a good clean can do !. Also I noticed some black vinyl on the A pillars, Previous Owner wanted it to look like a X81 Hardtop maybe? hahaha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlownCorona Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 wtf is up with that mr two decal anyway? surely they cant be factory, and who in their right mind would fit them. i cant think of any reason it belongs on this car, its not even like its a 2jz. just hope the white paint hasnt faded around the decal :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark II? Who knows. Change the R to a K and it makes a bit more sense. just hope the white paint hasnt faded around the decal :/ Paint isn't great on the right rear door due to what looks like a fight with a low concrete wall or something by a previous owner. Oh well, car was cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
