Playing around with different geometry setups today, havent quite got it perfect; but it sure does look ace me thinks. going up to DaveB's in the morning to pick up some tweaking bits, should be perfect after that. :cool:

Do the tyres scrub much at that ride height whats it like to handle road gaps and bumps???

There is no rubbing scrubbing of any sort at the front of the car, even with the OEM Anti roll bar. Its been raining or damp around here and even then; the grip level has advanced alot, plus i dont have an LSD in her at all..... yet. The rear of the car sitting on 205 40's are great with no rubbing, unless under heavy load from cornering. At this point, i feel its an achievement. im very happy with how it all turnt out, especially with many saying Zep Fenders will rub like hell if you put 225's under them let alone on a 16 inch rim. Handling is also improved :)

Back from DaveB's yesterday, and i picked up the following:

Whiteline 24mm Front ARB
Whiteline Adjustable Rear ARB
Whiteline Droplinks
Whiteline Anti lift/Caster kit
Front Lower Arms Left & Right
Lower Ball Joints Left & Right
C.V Joints Left & Right
Ohh and a Magnetic Sump Plug

The Whiteline Rear ARB should help greatly in stopping the rear arches having the slight contact that precently exists with the rear tires. I may also have another session of arch rolling; just me being picky, but he passenger side arch it 2mm further out than the drives side. The passenger side rear arch doesn't rub as much as the drivers side rear arch.

With all new mods on the car, the handle and grip levels should be increased in all areas when in spirited driving mode. again, i am really happy with the outcome even at its present state.

Looks awesome dude. Would love all those handling mods you picked up yesterday, you must have spent a fair bit there for those.

Happy handling :drive:

Hay Lewis, saw your car up at DaveB's yesterday. your car really looks the tits with that midnight purple paint dude, even your recaros seat fabric has abit of purple going on. Mint all over, but i would have gone with the Toms sideskirts if it was mine though. great car ;)

haha thanks mate. Appreciate that. I prefer the look of the toyota sideskirts to be honest and less people have them. Plus i can get a jack under them no probs, the toms seem much more difficult to do the same. :freddy:

Fair enough, awesome none the least. Thats why you need an extra low racing jack like mine (refer to 2nd pic jus left of the car), i can't recommend them jacks enough; they lift very high from very low (anything from 80mm low) ;)

I have no idea how much power shes running, maybe estimate 200bhp around that. Bare in mind im back on the Toyota OEM ECU again after selling my HKS F Con V Pro, I think my 5efte is still doing very well. Ive gone standalone; ive got everything i need to fit my standalone, but just playing around with integrating various uprated bits to improve power and reliability together with my ECU setup. so this may take awhile, should be more than ready for Time Attack Club Series 2011, thats if all goes to plan hopefully.

Sounds well mate im guessing your using a hybrid then or 1 bar on a td04 either way you should have a fairly decent usable power band for the time attack - combine that with weight and all them handling mods and you should be doing pretty good - get some more photos up :) :)
