    Hope you don't mind, but I've just modified all your posts so that the images are uploaded here as Attachments, so that they won't get lost if anything ever happens to Tapatalk!
    Cheers bro, I have way more to upload lol, could I ask a favour and get you to edit the rest when I upload them as my phone goes on strike when I try to upload them as attachments haha, cheers anyway

    Also I can’t upload any more pics, it’s saying there was a problem uploading

    Ah, I've tweaked the Tapatalk settings so that it will only upload directly here as attachments, so that I (or another of the moderators) doesn't have to do that! We're having more people accessing the forum via Tapatalk, so it's quite a time-consuming task!


    Your images are strange, however - they've got an extension of .png but they don't appear to be so. Could you email one of the new photos you want to upload to website@clubvr4.com and I'll see if I can upload it

    Hey Just letting you know I sent a email yesterday with a pic to the email you gave me to see if we can sort out my mystery pics lol, if we can’t get to the bottom of it would you mind restoring the old upload settings just for a day so I could finish uploading the rest of my pics, I know it’s not ideal and a lot of work for you but at the moment my build thread is at a standstill lol, Cheers

    Hey man sorry it took so long for a proper reply, I’m still getting to grips with this app I’m using , thanks for the advice but I now have a standard front bumper that doesn’t have any chunks cut out of it which makes me less noticeable to cops lol, I may ask for your advice later on because I’ve got myself a smaller intercooler and I may take out a small section of my bumper if I can make it look semi discrete, cheers anyway

    Hey,

    Got the email, and that image uploaded just fine from my PC and mobile, so something funky going on!

    I've set it back to allowing images to be uploaded via TapaTalk, guess I'll just spend some time going through the rest of your posts to convert them into attachments (I had to upload them to Imgur which converted them into a proper JPEG, then attach them from the URL! Very strange!)

    Here is when I had got most of the body panels on and a shot of a cold start as you can see from the exhaust there was a lot of condensation from sitting in a damp environment for ages, I can assure you she runs crystal clear once she warmed up a bit lol

    These are some really nice sparco windscreen wipers but the pic doesn’t do them justice they are flexible entirely one piece and shaped to be aerodynamic (lol) I would recommend these as they are super quiet and really efficient

    Here’s a shot of her curled up in the garage with the old bumper on so I could stretch her legs a bit without having her bare nose sticking out and drawing the wrong attention from the cops

    A sad day when she spent the night at Pitstop for a new cambelt and engine mount, replacing the cam belt on the 6a12tt is a bloody nightmare as you have to release the mount and jack up one side to get enough room and there’s balancing shafts to worry about so I left that to the professionals (plus I don’t have a engine crane )

    I went on eBay and found a guy who hand built me some 8mm ignition leads because mine are original I think and bigger leads are always nice anyway, I’m waiting to buy some hks spark plugs and swap everything over all at once

    This is how she looks now, a nice bumper off a non turbo 7g to complete the look, I am still searching for the spotlights that fit in the bumper

    Just something nice to look at also yo can see my current setup with no intercooler but have the blowoff value still, I don’t drive her like this for obvious reasons but I’ve tested this and if you treat her like a lady she still hums along quite nicely

    Gave her a wash and looked pretty good, where I live there are heaps of native totara trees that drop so many tiny leaves so literally after 1 day my car would be covered with them so I would actually give it a quick clean every day until I got a cover for it lol

    The first time I risked driving her on the open road to the park for a few pics in a long time, honestly I have driven a lot of cars, rx7 mustang skylines, etc but she always puts a smile on my face haha

    Had a go polishing my spoiler and wasn’t epic but definitely improved it
