PICS NOW please :D
Ill take a few pics today i promise, but i probably wont be able to head to nutts this weekend. :(
A friend of mine works for Toyota and he can come over with the diagnostics n shit and we will sort it all out but it wont be till the weekend, as he is babysitting all week. I have checked the engine bay so its possibly an earth arund the box but i cant move the car off the drive till the weekend..
Your 30mins late!!

Feckin impatient drifters! Sorry though i set out with the intentions of updating the thread on the three sites i post on but the plan fell apart after the first, so this is copied but theres nothing really to ad!
So the car arrived last week, and after the usual ball aching exercise of customs to be done we picked it up! It surprisingly started on the button, and apart from a drivers side rear flat she drove out. Turned out the tyre was off the rim so a quick trip to an air line and she was good to go!

And off i went! Registered it and drove home. I couldnt get my policy organised fully on the day so I had only a few hours then I got it sorted last Wednesday and in the mean time fitted the boss kit and the Black Nardi And lowered it

At the minute I have litterally 5mm clearence front & rear to get in and out of the driveway so the ride height will have to stay like that until i sort out an alarm then the driveway can fuck off and the front will go at least an inch lower and the rear at least 3 i hope...
And lastly taken today it got a wash but needs a polish

So my impression. I absolutely love it!! Its noisey, the diff is clunky, it has rock hard suspension the seat is pretty small so my ears ring my back is sore and my ribs hurt after a drive but i wouldnt change any of it! It's all I had hoped for and more, and after that I would never look at a Silvia again...
I do have two issues. 1 the cd player doesnt work so I have no radio. I couldnt care less, i am happy to listen to the engine but eventually i will swap it as i have another. 2 The car has randomly stopped starting! I had it with a Toyota mechanic and I mailed Andy and we all have the same opinion which is it has to be a corroded/lose connection or maybe earth. If so its certainly not in the engine bay so i will put it on axle stands ASAP and check out the box etc. (i'm itching to get out of here today to get the axle stands out, this boosty noisey skiddy stuff is addictive! :D )
Otherwise the rain made for some good 3rd gear fun yesterday :D
And despite the small hiccup I just want to say a HUGE thanks to Andy and Emily @ Powervehicles for all their help, they are legends, no offence to the other dealers here but I wouldn't even consider dealing with anyone else in the future...
VOILA!!
all i can ask is savage :)
