Loving the wheels on your black one, at a guess they look like SSR Professors and not Meisters??
Yip was stoked when I seen that! Wheels are SSR SP1's, would love a set of Miesters though...
Might tidy up the black one will all the good bits on the red one, then use the red one for racing???
The SSR's really suit it!
Strip out the red one, main thing that I found that always let down the 185's was the weight. That and the steering lock actually. Disappointed how bad the lock is!! Stripped out, exhaust/filter/boost etc and she'd be a pretty fun track car

Took it to Toyota Fest at Hampton downs today.
Decided to go on the skid pad after seeing that they'd wet it and I had a ball with sideways action.

^ Aww shit man, I'm really sorry to hear that

Fixed my acis last night with a new actuator so hooked it up to see how much difference it makes by keeping it on the low rpm runners, there was a noticeable increase of low end torque. Going to wire up the solenoid to my link tonight and hopefully have it running like its meant to be.

New clutch, oils, filters etc. Headunit in, speakers arrived today. If i'm driving something slow it needs a half decent sound system to pass the time.

They both look pretty sleepy.
Pulled the battery out of one, and put the fully charged battery out of another in it's place. Starts so fast now!

Looked at the hole where my turbo used to be. Got sad about not turning a wheel in 14 months. Looked at the budget and got sad again. Investigated a change to N/A 20V and got a bit happier...
