BC's are a great choice! The best upgrade i did on my MR2!:)
both of the MK2's i've had got dressed in bc's and for the money they're superb :) that's why i'm getting them for dorothy :)
might get the Tein S lowering springs to go with them but i think that with the bodykit that i'm gunna get it might bottom out and i might not be able to get a jack under it for changing wheels and stuff...............decisions, decisions..............
things that i've already got for her
super pro polybush kit £160 delivered
whiteline anti roll bars and drop links front and rear £400 the pair delivered
and i've more or less chosen the rims and boots :)
also ordered the new braided brake lines from hel and a clutch line from hel :)
You cant use standard drop links with the BC's on the front,they supply som for the front with the kit! :)
whiteline inclde their own front and rear drop links and bushes with their anti roll bars - sorry for not saying this hence the price tag............my bad :(
can't remember if bc put their links in cos last time i just used the bc struts, springs and mounts with whiteline arb and drop links :) underneath them and trd strut braces on top - total overkill really - but she'll handle with the best of them when i've finished which is what i'm after :)
not going for mega bhp just a seriously sweet ride that'll leave most things for dead in the twisty bits :)
she's also gunna need respraying if i change her socks and shoes :) cos pink doesn't go with white and silver :(
The Super Pro Full Polybush kit from EP Racing is a sound investment, I bought a set for mine, brilliant job, well worth the money, I also have the Whiteline front and rear anti-roll bars, I have stainless steel droplinks for mine though.
Yep thats where all my over-time goes on the car!. Can totally relate having to clock up massive amounts of over time just to get the parts you want!. Dorothy sounds like she'll be a mean machine when she's ready to roll.
Braided brakelines also a sound investment.
What colour you thinking of changing her to?.
hi donna... your story is almost the exact same as mine... first seen one at the age of 7/8 fell in love and wanted one since then and finally got mine a few years ago..also like you got very very very lucky with mine too and similar mileage but in km/h...came from japan,and like yourself no regrets and plenty of enjoyment too :D :D :D
the car looks great so it does...and the seat look ubber comfortable.... as for the dog!!! just keep the car for you... i dont let my one into bumblebee... she has the whole back seat of the every day car instead LOL :) :)
best wishes and lots of happy fun time with your mk1 donna :)
colour change to possibly --- gloss jet black with the rota alecia polished and pink rims / candy purple gitter with rota torque white rims or possibly candy lettuce leaf green with team dynamics race 1.2 black rims :):):)
i bought the number plate S--REK a long time ago hence the reason for the green paint being included.
this won't be happening this side of xmas cos the spraybooth that i want to use is fully booked till january :( still it's gunna cost an absolute wedge so it'll just give me more time to put more money away and work harder than i am now just so i can make sure i can have what i want :)
problem alpha13 - dorothy is my ONLY car :)
am looking at a JDM Starlet Glanza Turbo V or a Supra 3.0L Twin Turbo so i can keep dorothy for special occassions :)
i gotta admit that i do miss the sound of the turbo spinning up and the dump valve doing it's stuff and then the backfire on the over run........... :):)
those were the days of cheap petrol when we drove all day and all night scaring the hell out the people using the tunnels on the A55 ****whistles quietly**** - some sounds are just too adictive lol :):):)
You are such a boy (girl) racer, snoball.
When you first started rolling off the list of modifications & upgrades I was thinking "poor little Two", but as the gaps are filled in and I start to get a mental (and wow, is it ever mental) picture of the finished car, it makes sense. It's gonna be a real head turner and crowd pleaser at the shows. I really hope I get a chance to see it in the flesh once it's done.
Poor little Jolly is going to feel awfully Plain Jane next to her. I may have to buy her new shoes to make her feel better.
the shows are just that - they're for a limited but knowledgable audience :)
what i do is drive the wheels off my cars on roads in hot spot places where loads of ordinary people will get to see what i've done :)
and using places like prestatyn beach carpark in summer - now that's an experience for those with a modded car :) - talk about an audience :) then there are the tunnels :):) all the way from conwy to Llanfairfechan :):):)
just hoping i can get dorothy to sing at 45mph - tough ask for a N/A motor :):)
but yeah am hoping she'll be a proper headturner (one creating accidents) lol :):) ****whistles even more subtly**** like my last scooby wagon was :)
pete --- have you not considered getting jolly a new dress to go with the new shoes ????? i mean you've more or less sorted out her new underwear lol :)
