:) lots of costs and its sending me too backward, finding it really hard to save any money.

Its a great car, but i want to move onto some other things, and be debt free for a while.

Also i guess its not just not "right" for where i am now.. its a lot different to when i was in melb. Then I worked 20mins away, had a lockup garage, earned a fair bit more money, etc, etc.

Its going in for Gavin treatment on the 8th which should give it back its mojo and make me not scared to drive it, but i'm not going to rush to sell it. Hopefully that takes a couple of months so i can continue to enjoy it.

ok, i popped back before i do go out to the shops :)

hehe.. well 150rwkw should be fairly achieveable with most VL turbo bits and RB25DET turbo. Quite a few others have done it with good results, and most of it I should be able to DIY (its just bolting on stuff after all). So yeah, it could be fun (and importantly it will be cheap)

    • KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
    • That's not very Toyota of the Toyota!
    • Bringing an old thread back to life Looking to put some new front shocks in the r33Gtst and the KYB still look ok for a road car. Unless there are any other options aroind that price $200 a shock?  I’d like to replace the strut tops also, is this the correct KYB no. For the strut top, KSM7124?  https://www.sparesbox.com.au/products/kyb-strut-top-mount-ksm7124?srsltid=AfmBOoq-HDru8wSlLnQrhU9gCw_uYdKg8gUQzONY-EQOdnI5iXOWEUjY 341287 appears to be the front KYB shocks part no.  thanks all
