Yea I’ve read about this since online, think it’s going to be the best idea, just trying to find one in my town might be a bit difficult and I wanted to do it tomorrow haha

My to my knowledge, not while it’s been with me. Wet sanding scares me haha, I’ve never done it before because I’m worried I will damage the paint!

I’ve tried so many things to get rid of the stubborn stuck on grime that sits around the edge of the rear window on the paint. I’ve had cotton buds and polishing compound on there but with no success, I’ve heard citrus cleaners are good but I don’t know what to get. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this?

well i'll find out when it arrives in the country haha, we will see! but i just can't find one anywhere for sale already in the country because everyone wants to keep theirs haha, it was the only option!

i ordered my livesports spoiler last week...

quick update...

That’s good news, thanks for your help!

Oh this is good news, I was expecting to pay around £120 on duty and VAT so if that could be less it would help me out a lot, there’s still so much I want to do to the car haha.

I’ll give this a go, I don’t want to sound cheeky so I might try and word it as nicely as possible haha. Do you know if anyone has done this before?

ahh, i would prefer the real deal if i can get it haha. i'm hoping to order it before christmas!  not excited at all...

Oh really? Would this be for a genuine Livesports spoiler?

Yea me too! No one wants to get rid of one to sell in this country... and why would they? Haha

I had a feeling it would be around the £600 mark, plus paint as well... I think it’s worth it though haha

Has anyone imported over a spoiler (Livesports) from RHD Japan? If so, how much was the customs and tax? Tryna figure out how much it’s gonna cost me haha.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an MOT coming up pretty soon, my car went in for some paint work and they failed to fit the drivers side wing mirror back in properly and it fell out on the motorway! I’m finding it IMPOSSIBLE to find a replacement, I’ve been to Toyota and they’ve sent two different ones that don’t fit, and eBay only sell stick on ones which also don’t fit the clip in fitting. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement mirror from? I’ve been quoted £60 for the whole side mirror unit but it seems extortionate when all I need is the mirror itself! 

So I’ve heard, haha my friend had one on his Glanza a few years back and he’s fully recommended I get one ha

I’ve been thinking a lot about this over the last few weeks and I think I’ve decided on getting the Buddy Club! It’s actually the cheapest of them all and with a friend who is a welder it should work out pretty cost effective! 

I already have that sound, not sure if it’s the very thin crack in the fourth cylinder head stud or the corroded manifold..?

Well the exhaust manifold is really badly corroded, it’s getting changed out for a Toyosports one tomorrow. I think it’s just the original one that’s in there at the moment. 

Awh thanks for that, I’m struggling to find a well recommended company I’ll have a look at these two now!

I’ve been struggling to find a Buddy Club tbh! Turns out the ones for sale on Monster Motorsport are faulty hence the low price. Looks like a custom might be the only option!

That is exactly where it has cracked, I'm pretty sure! The diagnostic report reads:

'problem lies within cylinder head on number four cylinder where exhaust manifold face meets'

Is that the same place? 

Also, does anyone know of anyone who might have a cylinder head (crack free obv) for sale?

Okay so my Glanza went in for a smoke test today, as it was making a leaky tapping sound, and it turns out there's a crack on the fourth cylinder head and they have advised a top end rebuild and to definitely replace the exhaust manifold as it has seen better days (they don't do the work, it is just a diagnostics place, so I trust that they aren't trying to get money out of me). I'm just wondering how I go about it really, I know I will need a replacement cylinder head, head gasket set, new exhaust manifold, stem seals, cambelt. Am I missing anything? Or is there anything you would recommend getting done while this is being done? Might as well do the whole thing properly despite the cost!
