  1. So I recently purchased this back box off eBay. It was £50, didn't think it was too bad a price! Has a scrape on the end of the pipe but I can live with that! Also I went to fit this today to be very annoyed by the fact that it wouldn't fit straight on so seems like it's going to be a waiting job and will have to get a custom setup done to connect the back box up etc! I think this back box may be a HKS but I'm sure someone else will know
  2. I bought the shocks and springs from him not too long back, took a few days longer to get them but he was super busy. But I received the packaged very well in a meister coil overs box all in great condition and he was very helpful tbh! So that's a shame you got damaged goods
  3. Thanks a lot guys, I've just ordered some black steel nuts instead. I'll just have to try sell the gold ones! I'm sure someone will take them haha

  5. Do you have anymore pictures of the yellow headlight bulbs in action and a link? I'm tempted to go down the yellow route myself
  6. Thanks for the kind words! I have a little update, lowering Spring has are fitted, it feels good to finally have a car lowered! Admittedly it's not the lowest it could be but I am over the moon with it and it feels much better than stock. But like with all positive things comes a negative in the world of modifying cars! A wheel but snapped when trying to be removed so the shock/Spring had to be changed with the wheel still on. I have some better quality ones on there way to me and the garage will sort it out for me free of charge. The but snapped off from the thread upwards so it's sti
  7. Thanks for the link James! I purchased that backbox should arrive today
  8. Thanks bud! And thanks for the find of cheaper ones. I got the eBay ones only because I wanted gold haha!
  9. Thanks! They're all fitted now anyway cheers for the help
  10. Anyone know if these are any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/141600008230
  11. No idea tbh, they were on when I bought the car and it was on my to do list to get some better and plainer ones but I was hoping I wouldn't have to do it as soon as this! Here's the nut. It's still on the thread as you can see it's just the rest of the but that snapped when the mechanic tried to take the wheel off. They said they'll sort it for me if I bring the nuts so just need some good ones that are a nice enough price!
  12. Had the car at the garage to have springs and shocks fitted as I haven't got the time to do them myself yet and I wanted them on ASAP. Picked the car up today and was informed a wheel but had snapped when trying to take off the wheel. It's still stuck in holding the wheel on securely and they changed the shock/spring with the wheel still on. I now need some new nuts, I don't fancy keeping the rest on as I can imagine they'd probably do the same centrally. So can people give me links to some good quality ones that aren't too expensive. Thanks guys!
  13. If you could get me some pictures that'd be great! My horn button does have two connectors and the boss has a copper ring on the back of it
  14. I got mine from rhd Japan. It's good prices but you have to pay £15 import tax when it is delivered
  15. Hey all, I'm looking for just a backbox. Not entirely sure which I am wanting so try me. I'm not wanting a full exhaust system just yet as I don't fancy spending that much right now but I miss having a bit of noise so just after a nice backbox. I'm located in Rotherham so if your close by I can collect if not then delivery would be appreciated! Open to pretty much anything, as long as it looks nice and isn't ridiculously big! Thanks! Ben
  16. Recently purchased some Tein lowering springs already on some glanza shocks. I had been planning on changing them over myself since theoretically it should literally be a matter of I bolting the old ones and sticking the new ones in. But before I attempt to do this I'd like some advice. Is it as easy as it sounds? If anyone has experience of doing this can you give me a quick step by step guide so I can get it done as fast as possible. Otherwise it'll cost me £60 at the garage to have them fitted when I feel I am able to do it myself. Also does anyone know the correct torque for all the
  17. Wow I love those wheels! If you ever consider getting rid of them I would be very interested in them! Keep up the good work and look forward to seeing this car come together
  18. Got the steering wheel fitted today, gave it a few layers of dye too it came up great. But as said before the right hand side was too work down to restore but still looks cleaner than before. Before: After and fitted: Had a few issues at first, self cancelling indicators didn't work but that was because I hasn't lined the notches up to the boss kit correctly, all good now. All I need to do now is get the horn working, boss has a brass ring on the back of it but there is nothing making contact from the horn to that anyway so gotta figure that out! Other than that the gold quick release wi
  19. So much win! Any plans for some glanza parts? Would look epic with a rear bumper and skirts
  20. Indicators now self cancel, just need to figure out a way to get the horn working
  21. I got a HKB boss and it has the 3 holes in the back which I thought I'd lined up but maybe they're not in fully!
  22. I know it's probably been covered already but thought I'd start another one up to see if anyone has found any solutions yet! So, anyone figured out how to make the horn work on an airbag steering wheel yet? Or even the self cancelling indicators? I've just fitted a wheel myself and mine has no horn or self cancelling as it was an airbag model! Also am I supposed to have a gap this big? Or have I removed something I shouldn't have? The wheel works as normal and what not just don't like the huge gap
  23. That's the image! I am also curious to the answer as mine has a different intake pipe fitted and the hose from my rocker is just sat sticking out not plumbed into anything!
  24. Oh man I can't wait to see them in daylight! I personally would love a set of these they just look so right!
  25. Finally received all the parts to fit my new steering wheel! After cleaning the wheel up it started to lose some colour which is why I have suede dye. After applying that the colour difference was night and day! But unfortunately the right side had worn down too much so it isn't taking the colour as well as the rest but it still looks better than before! Also! I have lowering springs on the way!
