  1. Just makes me sad, why torch it as well ?!? Twats.
  2. that sucks, sorry for you mine was broken into a couple of years back, was totally gutted, and the thought of some scummer looting through it made me feel sick - watched robocop 2 the other day, now THEY had a good car defense system!
  3. Often go out for a run no point having the car otherwise, shame about all the other cars on the road really ! Straight out of my place and turn left, nice little 30 min there and back drive around some nsl twisty roads and a few straights, round a big roundabout and back again. With no traffic it's great fun Or down into Cardiff, up on to the dual carriage way that takes you over the south part of the city, can see the lights of the bay, through a nice tunnel and back again (usually via asda mind lol!) pretty cool at night. I
  4. buying some eBay bits Limeymk1 will pm you
  5. cheers !yeah, reckon something could be put together shouldn't cost much at all to get the bits and bobs, will do some ebaying
  6. if that's cool, I will, can practice with it, be easier out of the car I actually have no height adjustment on mine, lowly SSI, but can't see that as an issue. Will let you know when down in southampton next and can pop over Ok, better start amassing a few bits. Quite keen to get this working now, not for MOT, just to do it sure others have, but like to solve it on mine
  7. guessing here - will look on the wiring diagrams tonight for high beams, power and earth, and a 2 plug connector. for low beams, power and earth, and a 2 plug connector. Idea would be tow create some kind of adaption harness so can unplug and not mess up wiring ? So plug for high beams, and plug for low beams, 4 wires coming out. combine the two earths so left with three wires, power for high, power for low, one earth. Wire these into the H4 plug connector. Stage two fitting the H4 plug. utilising something like this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1Pair-30CM-HB4-9006-HB4-Wiring-Harness-Extension-Wires-fr-Xenon-Bulb-EVHG-/151740921795?hash=item235476b7c3 or something like http://www.ebay.com/itm/181648949625?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack=true
  8. cheer buddy So..... It would be a case of H4 bulbs, pluuging them http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/290729774870?adgroupid=&hlpht=true&hlpv=2&rlsatarget=&adtype=pla&ff3=1&lpid=122&poi=&ul_noapp=true&limghlpsr=true&ff19=0&device=c&chn=ps&campaignid=&crdt=0&ff12=67&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff14=122&viphx=1&ops=true&ff13=80or nicked from another car, then rewiring the light circuit somewhat to run both power cables to the same bulb. And somehow getting them to fit in the same way as exisiting so light pattern is exactly the same.
  9. Your clocks look like one of your lights have gone ? Pretty easy to take out and replace
  10. got ya! If you do have any, am often in southamtpon so could swing by Have thought about another entry point, though don't mind the faffing to experiment, as long as I don't do anything irreversable. Be interesting to see what's needed to get it working anyway as a project. thanks
  11. you mean like briano says, actually ADD a H4 bulb in addition to the normal bulb,or something a bit more clever ? I need to read up on this ! As not understanding some of it lol I'll get there.... The easy way lol! If I was doing something a bit different.... What about two Outer Projectors, a HID kit that did both dipped and full (assume you can get them?) and rewire so it all works ?
  12. cool, thanks, that's clear. So either a outer light mod that allows both dipped and full to be used in them, or neither. I did think of the legal issues if not good for an mot. Think i will ponder some more on this - possible both inners are removed as an option as well. Think someone has already done so, sure saw a pic in Japfest 2 pictures on here. Or come up with a different idea, or just use if go on a track.
  13. hmmm, idea Briano ! Maybe find a spare outer to try. Ams, have a wiring diagram for them somewhere (outers are dipped and low, inners are main) - what is it your getting at ? Can take a look guessing full beams don't need to be directed in the same way as the dipped ? as they will always blind oncoming traffic ?
  14. You mean wire the main bulb to also act as full beam ? Though assume bulb would not be right type ...? Might do some research. Only add it in after mot (next month ) if a fail but might be nice to get it to work anyway
  15. Gen 6, so full beams seperate from dipped beams. I will be removing one full beam to fit my cold air intake - but..... is that an mot fail ?
  16. Would be asking myself; 1) Do I want RWD or FWD ? Obviously that decides it right there or at least says sell the GT and get something rwd. Test drive a gt86 and drift it 2) If I don't care, do I want to keep things pretty stock or go crazy modding 3) If crazy modding, sell the GT, buy a cheaper t-sport or gen 6, go crazy 4) If stock, err.....Gt or GT6 then lol. As johnnyboy (kinda) says, just get the one that will make you grin when you get in it, sod the depreciation, future worth, etc.
  17. digs

    Happy 4 Anniversary digs!

  18. I think they look ok, didn't at first. Not sure on weight, lighter than my previous dare st wheels, and the stock t-sport wheels.
  19. I view caldina's like Apache helicopters, ugly as sin but brutally efficient. Actually think that goes for gen 6 gt4s too !
  20. would like a separate caldina, not quite a celica thought Thanks, but yeah too soon, not in a position at the moment - would need to find storage space for both to swap it all, etc, and have a proper plan, plus looking for a 6 but guess thats it, get logistics all sorted out (transport, storage, etc) and then just wait for the right opportunity to pop up. Need to find some storage containers like briano's so if see one can just store it away till get a chance. Must be something in south wales....
  21. I am not really looking at the moment, as having fun with fwd power but if I was looking for a rolling GT4 shell (to transplant the engine into) is there somewhere in particular these things go (where ever the breakers find them) or just a case of clubs, eBay and gumtree looking for someone selling one with a borked engine ? Be nice to put the 3sgte in a gt4 body at some point, like say not doing it now at all. For some reason have a prop shaft, and a steering rack, so shell gearbox - if kept mac suspension could I use E56 gear drive shafts ? rear diff rear drive shafts rear suspension ? Can I use my bc coilers ? mac swap for front so don't need that ? there is not loads to get guess, most of mine would transfer across (interior, ecu, electrics, panels, bonnets, etc) So really the shell with transmission tunnel plus bits I am missing.
  22. gen 7 rather than a golf if you want newer? or do you need practicality ? Shame to see a celica go but you def seem to have had enough!
  23. It's the love of the car isn't it. If the love's gone, then it's just some metal, and can weigh it up accordingly. If the love is there, you do silly things that make no sense lol ! when you look out the window do you see; a. your hot beautiful car that makes you grin b.evil scheming b****h that's taken you for everything you've got c. just some bit of metal, whatever, plenty more bits of metal out there
