Bazza Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 cool there is a lot of good reading there ps. got my roll cage yet ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightSpirit Posted June 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Tony, The TRDs are knocking..I assume the top mounts have given up the ghost so will be putting some suspension on the car soon..it went to TDI around a year ago for the setup and it's been awesome since then. Sadly there's not a great deal you could do for the car last time, not enough things to adjust The blog started as a way of keeping track of what I'd done when but people started reading it which was nice... Bazza, Cusco (safety 21) 7 point rollcages appear all the time in Japan, they are around 300-350 shipped to your door mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightSpirit Posted July 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2008 Haha! Bazza..you are by far and away the most aloof customer I've ever met. I've got a 7 point cage on the way over as I type this, Cost is £380 all in. It's yours if you want it. Drop me an email at webmaster@night-spirit.co.uk for the details and any further info. It should be here in about 6 weeks time (on a boat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
