abcent is selling his carbon drift wing, hes asking $450 i think, and with the boot, im not sure to be honest, but speak to a fibreglassing place and see what they can do about giving the boot a carbon fibre look boot?

it can be done very easily. ATM there are 2 different ways that it can be done, both looks great.

1. get a fibreglassing place to lay a 2 ply layer of carbon fiber onto your boot, making sure the boot is scuffed back and clean of crap, after it cures, light sand and resin polish the boot, then hit it with 2-3 coats of clear like in a paint shop for cars, will leave the boot looking mint and also with the clear coats will give the boot that deep carbon look finish. beware tho, doing it this way, if they dont take care there can be stretch marks in the CF and will be visible once finished.

2. they have developed a contact type carbon fibre, like the stuff for school books. they use adhesive under it, lay it down and hit it with the clear again for long lasting finish. cheaper than the first but may not last long depending on how you look after your car. leaving it out at night and letting frost build up something like this will last about 5years, the other will be atleast 10yrs. CF is very tough.

and lastly mate, dont bother coating the drift wing, the curves in it will almost leave definite stretch marks in areas due to the complex shape. your better off buyin a CF drift wing like i was sayin. 450 already to go, looks good. hers the link. have a chat to him.

also the reason i suggest the straight lay on fo rthe boot is due to the simple shape the boot has. little chance of distortion.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
