Even then the best I can get is about 270 Klm to half a tank.

I usually get around 370kms to a full tank, everyday driving. I have a pretty heavy foot and I think my timing is out too :(

I got mine from a local wreckers, $100 for a set of 4 from a 30k Corolla engine.

Geoff (sabretooth) just got a set for $80 from the same place and they looked pretty new too.

Loom is finished now:

I finished this up yesterday. I couldn't find a number plate bracket so I just decided to make my own. The top holes are tapped for little M6 hex drive screws with a spring washer.

Pedal pads were wearing out so since my son had some grip tape for his skateboard, I "borrowed" some!

It's working fine for me, Pete? Not sure if it's an imageshack problem :roll:

Won't be getting the lip so soon, Kev.. haha! :mrgreen:
The intake kit is something higher on my list while I build up more funds for the lip (unless there's an SE one lying around nearby /cough)

Shuey, there was an SE front bumper with spoiler for sale in WA. It was advertised in the for sale section.
