Hi all, Just thought I'd sign up to the forum.

I recently picked up 1998 Toyota Altezza for next to nothing. Its a little scruffy and has a fault with the auto box. ( wont kick down properly and steering wheel padals dont work also wont hold the revs, changes early. I have a spare auto box that I will try and fit to see if that helps )

I have come from the mx5 world, having owned a nice spec mk1. The wife forced me to sell it for something more family orrientated. I had 2 BMW e30s but after a 5 nothing really handles as well.

I was looking for an old KE70 corolla but stumbled across the Altezza which brings me here.

I have already replaced the front brake pads for Ebc yellowstuff and have many plans for future mods. Manual conversion, lots of track use and possibly a turbo.

Unfortunatley I dont earn a lot of money in my current job so its going to be a slow process.

First jobs will be sort the auto box and fit the LSD I have picked up for a song.

Bushes will be the next thing I'll be looking at. I noticed while doing the brakes that the lower control arm bushes are shot. might explain the shaking at speed.

Anyways I'll try not to ask too many stupid questions and do some reading on the forum to find what I need to know.

Cheers, Nathan
