Think the Gen 4's as a breed are rare, most have died an oxide death. Very rare indeed!

I like the idea of a Digital dash but at a reasonable cost, I just fear you would struggle to satisfy everyone's taste. I did ponder the idea of doing one myself, seen as neither of my GT4's have ODB output would be a challenge and good if I could get it right. Problem is I could see me only getting so far and no doubt would be half a job. For the moment in the 165 I have plumped for an Acewell unit, after finding my temp gauge is buggered. I hate the thought of gauges all over the show can look very untidy. Would be nice to replace the rev counter in the 165 with a screen to do away with the some what unreliable Temp, Oil pressure, Fuel gauge and boost gauge. Dont think a circular screen is financially available this said. To be fair the Acewell has a few little features like average speed, lap timers, adjustable temperature warning and even a rudimentary gear indicator that you program to rev,s and speed for forward and an input for reverse not that that is of much use im sure most of us know what gear we are in. Oh and it has an ODO on to make it road legal replacement. Would like to see what you evolve from your ideas, may be interested.

You come drive mine for a day you will soon see what I mean, would help if half the ponies would pull their weight lazy buggers

The faff is fine at moving off, but as with every car its in the stopping you have to worry You really want to try a 90hp 3.5ton rear wheel drive transit if you think you Celica's are naff. It has the ability to sit and spin without snow and ice!

I got a box today... Inside said box was another box.... Containing these babies

Do it yourself mate. Im using one of these spray gun they say it will work with small compressors just as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Devilbiss-Spray-Gun-StartingLine-SLG610-1-3mm-/251038834961?pt=UK_Body_Shop_Supplies_Paint&hash=item3a7314a111 Ok so its not the easiest past time but I can do it im sure you can. I recommend you use a polyester base coat due to the fact it doesnt need baking and is touch dry in minutes reducing chance of bugs and other cack settling in. The lacquer is a little harder to do same principle.

Need to change the gas to R134a . R12 is no longer available, best if you change the reciever drier at the same time and fit quick coupler adapters to the screw couplers the R12 system used. If you were closer id see if i could borrow our kit from work and do it for you.

Sums it up, cant see where they get the insurance figures from though..... Either way I know which I would have Notice no GT4OC either?

Its nothing to what it used to be. Used to have cars stacked about 5 high and you had to just climb around trying to get what you want. Seen some rare stuff there over the years. Like you say such a shame for it to sit there it will likely sit there for another couple months they if they can be bothered then might rip the engine out though it on the pile with the rest and then crush the rest.

Mr Furburs by chance? Did you get lost getting there I always seem to Ian has enough on his plate with his current project, rather have my 3S-GTE too.

Agreed you never know. As long as you are okay, all you have to remember is metal can be replaced! Anyway there are plenty of broken 5's out there

You OCD lot are just no fun at all, you just like to surprise us with your cleanliness.

Really Lee? I thought they suited your faff. Are you going to go for white Chronos or superturismos instead?

Ahh well that me out of ideas then
