The things that pop up on Goo-net from time to time… they are enough to render you speechless.
Just look at that front spoiler.
The Pie Dish Seal of Approval!
If you happen to see this bearing down on you, best be getting the motherloving crap out of its way!
Remember how a few days ago I said I wasn’t sure whether to fit that JENESIS rear wing or not?
Sweet deal.
well, I think I’ve been pretty much convinced. (thanks to szymonsta from the JNC forums for the photo)
The laser pointer of DOOM survives yet another flogging around Taupo, this time in absurdly wet conditions. No heat in the slicks + no traction + no weight in the rear + nosewheel drive = frantic countersteering antics: next time, I’m taping my hand to the wheel a la gumtape deathmatch styles…
definitely time for a new turbo though!
Faster than the speed of light!
So, any plans for another FLAWLESS trackday before year’s end?
Once upon a time there was this website called Yahoo! Auctions Japan, where items of much merriment and joy could be bought and sold amongst mortal men.
On this website there happened to be a DR30 Skyline ducktail spoiler for sale, of the kind made by a company known as JENESIS.
Dhoooo
And Ed saw this spoiler, and deemed it worthy of purchasing, because impulse buying is what he does best.
from the day I bought my latest AW11 MR2 I’ve been slightly annoyed by its lack of interior t-top shades, which makes driving in direct sunlight a bit of a drain at times (the sunvisors are of limited use).
63301A and 63302A, is it really too much to ask for?
So ever the completist/OCDist (depending on who you talk to) I set about tracking down a decent pair of the blasted things. Now most AW11 owners will tell you the t-top shades along with the facelift front lip valance are the two most incredibly difficult items to obtain replacements of. Turns out they were only partially right, as within a day I had tracked down a brand new front lip valance (ex Toyota Japan, no less; those people I see whinging on MR2 forums ought to do their homework better!) but the shades proved to be far more elusive, and what I hadn’t prepared myself for was the pricing: a whopping $925 per side provided Toyota still had new old stock lying around… screw that idea.
