  1. Il look into it :) deprnds if its cheaper to fix it or drop a new engine in! Il have to check

    I believe Rory Webb on here is selling his glanza rep. Needs finishing but it looks beautiful and has low mileage. Saw him put it on the Facebook page maybe you should buy his?

    Been keeping my eye on JDM-EP like a hawk for them pmsl, they only had the one at one point lol Really like the look of them, same goes for your rear lights bud, watched the video you posted, really like what you've done, doing us Tropicana owners proud ;)

    Jdm-ep actually had a set in not too long ago and they were for sale at £90 I was tempted myself but got a steering wheel instead haha!

  3. Fitted the rear strut brace a couple weeks ago now, but somehow forgot to update that! Thanks to paddy for the strut brace! And the great service too!

    I have noticed the difference the brace has made, it is surprising how much it stiffens the rear for such a simple mod!

    It was quickly installed so need to refine the plastics I badly cut out as I was desperate to install it! Also need to make a glass floor of sorts as the boot carpet is useless... Just collapses at the back and I end up with missing food from shopping as it ends up in the spare wheel well xD

  4. Ok cheers. Yeah I've seen that group buy tbh I like the purple one might consider it and the steering wheel I want always it comes with the horn buttons and everything just need the boss kit and quick release. And when I finally get it all I probably will look for the tutorials. Thanks again.

    Go for it! There in the lowest price bracket. Unfortunately mine doesn't even have a horn button but it was cheap so not all bad

  5. Cheers I also want a quick release to I should have mentioned in the post. Would I need that as well as the boss kit or?

    Thanks again. Phil.

    I've recently purchased an aftermarket wheel (should arrive today) mine came with nothing other than the wheel itself. I have a HKB boss on its way from Japan, a few people recommended them, and it was £27 delivered from Japan. That attaches to the column and the wheel attaches to that. There is a group buy on the go ATM for a quick release, which is also quite slim, which goes between the boss and wheel and I'm sure you get the rest of it. There's plenty of videos/tutorials online to see what to do

  6. Got a couple of bits done last night since I had the house to myself, so put the car in the garage and proceeded to remove the bump strips! Took a while but it's worth it! Also whilst I had it in the garage over night I decided to paint the wiper arms and scuttle. Only gave them a quick lick of paint but looks miles better!

    Under the scuttle panel was filthy so!

    Clean half

    Woke up this morning and cleaned the car as it was gross after all the crap poured on the sides to remove the strips and glue etc. But it looks much cleaner without the strips

    Next on the list will be fitting a new steering wheel, the lady friend bought me the Kode steering wheel from jdm-ep, just waiting for it to arrive and that will be matched with the HKB boss on its was from Japan and the quick release from Socks once the group buy is finished!

    For now I shall nerd out over the Star Wars beta!

  7. Has the passenger side got the same one mate? If so take that off and go into a nut and bolt kind of shop and see if they have one its worth a try

    I haven't actually checked the passenger side, I'd imagine it would since the buckle works correctly and pivots nicely, but I haven't had chance to switch it, I'll look around some shops at some point soon :)
