The A6 Celica/Carina topic

They claim it to be drift spec, but the only things I see that were done are coilovers, strut tower bar, a blowoff valve, an awful paintjob and some interior stripping.
9000 pounds for a trashed up TA63 with a bone stock engine?

Ooof..
Anyone in need of a kidney?

The car might be for sale through a reputable dealer (I honestly don't know, I've never dealt with motorhub before). But in my experience if a car comes up for sale in Keighley, then its best to avoid that car altogether. Perhaps I should admit that I haven't been involved in car sales for quite a few years though, as my career has been workshop only since 2013.

Been ages since I've been out on track, this was from last time.
The car was handling awesome, fixed a braking issue that had plaged it for ages so it was a lot more stable under hard braking. Gave a lot more confidence!

Car's getting a bit of an overhaul at the moment.
Swapping in the dual VVTI motor and pushing the motor back and fixing up a bunch of things.
It's dragging on but will be worth it hopefully.

Nice driving!
What happened to your really nice gauge cluster?

[roman]

Yeah that's still a work in progress.

I finished version 1.0 and it was good but really difficult to add new features or values or whatever and move them around.

So I'm building on previous learnings to rewrite with some new hardware to make it a bit more modular.

So far it's much better but still a fair bit left to do.

I also managed to find an AA63 cluster from Japan so I've got an analog one with 9k rpm tacho too now
