Me, Knuckles, Jon.G and Jonff decided to have a drive up to 'Winter Hill' - I've not had a Proper drive recently, so thought I'd make the most of it and whip the roof off (NOT a 1 man job ffs!)
It was sunny when I set off, but soon became freezing :(
Anyway, Photos:

I think you'll hate going back to NA after owning a couple of boosted mid-90's cars. They really are gutless unless you revving the nuts off them.
The RX7 is awesome, I wouldn't give up on it just yet!
I can't remember where the hell I found it, but I read through his build thread a while ago - f**king amazing!
I can never understand why you don't tend to see many Supra's about - are they horrendously expensive to run or something? I'd have one tomorrow if I could. Probably over a Skyline...
Yeah, I thought it was to do with the resistance. I think I'm going to make the whole unit light up with the indicators now though - leave the sidelights as they currently are, but use a dual filament bulb and bulb holder, and then also make the little 501 bulbs light up with the indicators too...
Sidelights are easy! Just chop the live wires of the indicator and sidelight and swap them around. Getting the indicators to flash at a normal speed is proving slightly more tricky... I've been looking into dual filament bulbs - so the the sidelights get brighter when the indicator is on. I...
Yes you have! I parked next to your car at the Stockport meet. It was probably so high that you couldn't see it...
USDM lights are eaaasy, it's getting the indicators to work properly that's proving to be a ball ache. They're going fast like there's a bulb out - but there obviously isn't...
I know! F**king numpty. That's twice I've had to fetch the RAC out for trivial things with this car now. Never ever had to use them before! Maybe its cursed...
Not sure, its been a while since I sat in Chris' car. It's the cherry one. Smells like Cherry Soothers. F**king awesome!

I don't have access to a powered drill at home :(
A good strong air gun will get it off I reckon, It almost came off when the RAC guy tried - it's just on reeeaaally tight!
You'll f**king need one! I ended up sat on the parcel shelf behind the passenger seat reaching down to turn the bolt. Would have been sooooo much easier with the roof off!
Might as well pop this in, since they're what caused my battery to go flat! Very surprised there's no buzzer to remind you...
These arrived today:

Nice quality and finish, seem fairly low... look fiddly to fit!
And they f**king are! Due to my collection of seat bolts (allen key fitment) There wasn't enough room either side of the seat when trying to fit it in the car. So attach...
It's just less hassle to post them..
If you can't do it that way, just click on "View all sizes" choose the size and copy Image URL. Paste it in [IMG] brakets like usual!
Thanks Luke! I think it's a Must, especially considering it's a free mod!
Haha, Okay then! You can drive it if you like.. I know you'll instantly want it back! :rasp:
Thanks Gally!
Ahhh, you don't want to mess around with doing all that! I just have a regular account - from your...
Not very, I don't think.
The nuts seem to be very old too - I imagine they wouldn't need much force to get the collar off.. it's just getting in there to do it; there's literally no space!
