took the celica out for a spin on sunday up to lake eacham and atherton via the gillies range with a couple of mates (in an ST185)
had a pretty smooth run up the gillies sitting behind a guy in a little mini suzuki 4wd thing who must've been giving it a bit of a fang as well haha. car went pretty flawlessly all the way though, so i'm happy
and yesterday, the alternator decided to die on me. -__-
Thread revival time.
So, not a lot has happened with this in the past 6 months or so, but since I'm back in work now, I can start affording all the bits and pieces I couldn't previously.
Here's something that did occur in the past 6 months though.
In more recent news, I bought some wheels. Some may recognise them from the auction, but for those who don't trawl Yahoo Auctions, a picture is conveniently located below. They'll be shipped over from Japan sometime in December, so I won't see them in the flesh until sometime January if everything goes to plan. I'm also planning to get them wrapped in some decent rubber (for cheaper than locally) before they get packed into the container so all I'll have to do when I get them is bolt them straight on.
I also picked up some strut top rings off roadsailing to make my own strut brace in the coming months.
That's about all that's worth mentioning for the time being.
Yeah, I have intention to paint it black again. The guy who resprayed the car took it upon himself to spray it grey, much to my disliking. Nothing a can of gloss black won't fix though.
The auction didn't specify the exact sizes, but they're either:
1. 14x8J -10 and 14x8.5J -5
2. 14x8.5J -10 and 14x9J -5
With the offsets being approximate but probably -12 and -6 in keeping with the half/quarter inch measurements. I'm working off the assumption that they're going to be the smaller widths, but I may yet be pleasantly surprised if they're the wider measurements.
Love the shifter, i finally made my brace, there are a few pics in my members ride on here, pretty easy to make in the end. would probably look a bit better with round tube but whatever.
