Got a lil bit done today and yesterday. Whilst I saving some cash I have moved on to the chassis. Decided to strip the doors down and give them a diet, thanks to Mr Grinder. Couldn't be bothered paying a shit load of cash at the moment for Carbon Fibre doors, so I'll do the next best thing. Cut the shit out of them and use Lexan Windows, saved a fair bit of weight out of them already just have to cut the impact beam out and a bit more trim and tidy it up. When I finished with them they will probably be a couple a KG's heavier then the R32's Carbon doors.

Also I am gonna contact the guys that make the carbon fibre roof skins and carbon fibre rear hatch and get that ball rolling on that. Get rid of the sunroof its too heavy, and with the roof skin missing will make putting the cage in a hell of a lot easier. May even get a load of Dry Ice once the inside is clean and smash out the sound deadening and get it prepped for raging caging.

Sean, I went into Toyota today, was passed into some dude named Ben. After having a chat to him, I realised that he knew nothing about the car and had very little interest in selling me one.

Kept going in about catching him in the middle of this 3 day sale, and it was so busy. I looked around, was 2 customers in the shop.

Said I was also interested in a FJ, said they had run out of pamphlets, and didn't even take me to see one.

I made it clear I had the funds, wasn't kicking tyres.

Next time I should just ask for you, lol.

This guy was useless

Most supercars don't have massive GT Wings and all them supercars with that design were made in the 80's and 90's back when aerodynamics was make believe like the Yeti, I need air to hit the wing not go under it.

That hatch for the 180 would create to much turbulence for a rear wing. Would create a low pressure point behind the window.

Dont see it being an Aero benefit.

ehhhh cant wait to get home from work. Monday morning can not come quick enough

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
