Hi john here I'm from Doncaster but live in Windsor as I'm in army i own a Jdm 1994 205 which i bought last November from Sheffield. Got car cheap as radiator was knackered and needs a little TLC. Car is SORN at moment while i save up to buy the goodies i want for her. The parts i have bought so far are: Koyo alloy rad Aquamist 1S W/I kit HKS SSQV Blitz sonic power induction kit Straight intake and battery relocation kit Fensport FMIC kit(big type) Cusco 4pt lower brace Tarox 340mm 10 pot kit Oil filter relocation kit and oil cooler set up C-one rear strut brace Defi din gauge set Recaro recliners Buddy Club P1 racing 2's in hyper gold Toyo T1R in 225/35x18 and lightweight nuts Late spec rear lights Clear fronts & side repeaters Projector lights Fensport C-one style lower splitter Trd stle rear wing Trd style rear bumper corners Trd style side skirts Alloy flush fit fuel filler loads of other kit for interior such as wheel,gearknob etc
Bits i still want before fixing her are: Tein coilovers Spal fans c-one full exhaust aussie d/p
However I'm in no rush and doing stuff as i can afford it
Just bought our lass a black 91 UK spec 185 so got a nice car to get about in.
Always been into my Toyota's since i worked for em from 16 to 23 Had 3x AE92,1x AE82,1x AW11 and a ZZT230 but always wanted a 205.

Deffinetly  mainly had red cars before(apart from black ltd edition AE82) but for me red doesnt suit the GT4's but thats my opinion im sure many others disagree

I should have been clearer i dont think red suits the 205 but the 165/185 look good in red especially the CS/RC as it aint as dark. Just looked at your location on the map-i was based at Ebbrington barracks from may 01 to may 03 and used to drive my armoured wagon through the gobnascale more or less every day. Fun having bricks thrown at ya

Hi There. Welcome to the club  deffo got yourself some nice bits building up there, should make a nice four when you've got everything fitted. I see you've bought JP's old 185. it'll be nice to see to see old girl back on the road, he had that 185 before i got mine....back in 2003

Yer we needed a car and Erin(the wife) took a shine to it when she saw the pics online-so went for a look and she wanted it so at £900 its a good buy. Needs m.o.t 2x tyres,fuel line sorting and tracking done but shouldnt take much to sort out.

Yer its a bargain-no longer has CS bumper but i like em so will get another eventually. The wife just wants tints,alloys and new seats as she like the recaros in my faff.
When we can afford it i may buy some Teins,whiteline arb and maybe a CS bonnet if i stick a FMIC on it.
But the faff is the main project.
