Jagshemash. Very nice!
On a (more) serious note. I think the LEDs would look great with a yellow tint. But then I would. I like yellow tinted lights.

I assume you will only have them on as Main Beam additions? They look blindingly bright!  |

I've been thinking about whether one of those 'light bars' would fit in the 5's 'mouth' without impeding airflow too much!

Will leave the main bulb yellows as spares. The fogs are also super-yellow  Looking forward to trying out the tinted LEDs later tonight. |

Ordered some new suspension components because the rear right is plainly buggered when it is loaded up. Ordered a set of OEM-level struts (KYB rear, MAPCO fronts) ... also I'm trying to get a russian lift kit delivered |

Suspension is in. The old rears had no boots (ouch). Went with Mapco fronts and KYB rears. So far very happy with the new ride. The torque from the 7afe (1.8) engine is really good low down. Also replaced the transmission oil. Happy days.
Took her up and down a mountain today, snowy roads, the 4wd is effortless and the handling is really nice. Snow-rated allseasons obviously. I'm a little in love with this car.
The radiator blanking thing I made has come in handy and keeps the engine temps up noticeably on the downhills where the engine has too little load to keep warm in such cold weather.
Tempted to Turbo.

Is that the same engine as in the Gen 6 Celica ST?
