I feel either some red tint wrap or split the tail lights and paint the silver black might help with the weird back end. Also lows & wheels.
That said the pre-facelift lights are already red & £15 each lol
It's one of the white goods type of car's so shouldt be a bad motor.
Cheap wheels ahoy – Center Bore: 54.1 mm – PCD: 4x100 – Wheel Fasteners: Lug nuts – Wheel Tightening Torque: unknown – Thread Size: M12 x 1.25 - ET45

Awesome, thanks for posting! The thing I find funny is due to digital pictures, photo's from 15 years ago could have been taken last week and look the same.

What about your sister giving you her broken one and you could drop a ST engine in?

I thought the concept was amazing, production version is still my favourite ev to date. But, it's going to be roughly the same price as the Yaris GR4 that's coming out soon and if I was going to buy something brand-new it would be the Yaris. 260bhp, 4wd with front and rear lsd's, manual with a one off body win's 😂 Well, I never expected to end up with a GR 😂

Liking this - if you went for a R56 Mini Cooper S door it is very similar & you would have the option of using the Mini One smooth flap as well. Also will be TUV approved edit, just browsing ebay and spotted one of these - the rear lights reminded me of a modern E type lol

I bought the dewalt twin pack that screwfix sell 5 years ago, renovated my entire house with them & rarley use a real screwdriver these days as the impact is so much better. For the price I don't think you can go wrong. Now have the jigsaw, circular saw & big f/o impact wrench. My mate & mechanic changed from snap-on to the Dewalt impact wrench and uses it all day everyday - doesnt have a bad word to say about it & cost half what the snap-on did, works better too. This is the new version of mine (now has 2x 3.0ah bats, mine had 2x 1.3ah) - bargain at this price. www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-dck2060l2t-sfgb-18v-3-0ah-li-ion-xr-brushless-cordless-twin-pack/337kv

Hi grizz. Would it be possible to move the tank to the right enough to fit another cross member under the roll bar tube end? Was just thinking that, maybe move the tank 2 inch to the right & run an extra cross member from front to back under the brace & tie it to the pass side

What about a Nissan 350z engine, the later ones had 306bhp - VQ35HR 3.5L V6, sound great & come with a 6 speed manual. They get used for drifting so cant be too bad for reliabity/tunning

That is very nice, great choice of engine - I could never understand why more people didnt use them as they were decent performance for the cost

Love that, it's very nice. You will need to add a price though for the rules.

Every road test i’ve seen/read says the same kinda thing . Possibly the last of this type of car & definitely a future classic . Enjoy I thought I had gone into a corner a bit hot & in all honesty I think I could have gone in 20mph faster and it wouldnt have been on the edge of grip lol. It's one of those car's where you will run out of tallent before the car does. Turned the auto rev matching on and it works great, set's the rev's up perfect for the down change. I hope it's not the last of it's type, but it's been so many years since something like this was built I have a feeling you could be right. Talking to the dealer, I don't think Toyota expected it to get the reception it did. Yes it's a very modern car, but it's not got anything it didnt need on it. I spent a good few minutes looking for the rear wiper switch on Tuesday, hasnt got a rear wiper.
