Today did some research again and thought about king springs he was gonna offer me koni adjustable shocks with king springs for 1450 but i think i have chosen with pedders springs with there variable ride unit shocks hopefully this will handle well yet still ride nice.
also alarm and air-con get done as well.
cheers for now ill posts pics once its finished

Well everyone the car is lowered and looks a hell of a lot better but still need to get a new rear sway bar (anyone can vouch for these are they worth it)
My new project cause i got nothing else to do is now changing the interior colour have done the boot its going from the shit two tone blue and weird colour Grey with the groves that collect dirt and make it go even more crap to a nice shiny black like in the SW20 MR2's and AE111 corolla's this will suit the steering wheel:)
Well will put up pics soon cause i have only just done the boot so yeah cheers all.

Its no that it needs to be rolled the other side is fine for some stupied reason it sits a little lower on the drivers side. but i found out it was like a little screw that holds the shroud in that was hitting on the tyre not that it was damaging it but yeah it made a bad sound. but yeah and it was the front left.

Well just to update this thread. I have since put in a new tom's lightened Fly Wheel which i think has made an improvement on the take off but today also brought TRD spark Plugs leads so waiting for them to be shipped here cause my leads now seem to be leaking. Still haven't finished the painting one day i will. But i have been on a few cruises now which i think are pretty good. Also no go with the aftermarket ECU didn't see a real point so yeah.
cheers Matt

Well Been a while since i have updated this.
So here it goes
Have been a bit worried that the engine was useing a little to much oil. So that was the excuse to rebuild it.
So getting a mild port and polish and cams getting some work done to them.
Also found the reason why it was using oil the oil ring was stuck on the pistion and wasnt moving at all so all new rings and also got new bearings as well since it was all open.
New rear main seal and The 6 speed is now ready to go in.
Also rocker cover and intake all being resprayed in black... Just make it look nice and new again and will also try to get some of the pipes in there nice and shiney as well.
here are some pics.
i Still love the red leads
Mmmmm 20Valve's so cool:)
Tom's
All Dirty
All Clean
I still think my sticker is better then the silver tops

Just to Updated
Engine has been put all back together and so far seems really good.
6 Speed in and running well feels smooth gearing is definitely different but i haven’t been able to rev it out yet as still running the engine in.
As all the bearings and rings and things all now brand new so taking it easy for a while just to be on the safe side. so nothing or 3000RPM .
One thing for anyone who is doing the 6 speed gearbox swap if you can get the gear cables for the 6 speed get them cause one of the 5 speed ones is about 2cm to short so we had to make and extension.
Have pics for all the things that need to be changed if anyone needs them.
