Hi everyone

Just wanted to know a very simple question.

I just got some leds (interior ones) and I wand to wire them up so they come on when I turn the side lights on.

Can someone tell me what is the best or easiest route to do this?

bearing in mind I dont know much about electronics. Should I tackle this myself or should I leave this to a friend of a friend who does alot of car wiring.

If it's farily simple, can you tell me how it's done?

Thanks

I'm after a Small size Amp. something around 8" 20cm

The smaller the better as it's going somewhere in the dash.

Oh and it's got to be able to power a 8" sub. I'm not sure what power the sub is, it's just got JL audio on the back. I am guessing 300 watts???? as my old JVC 320watt amp used to power it.

If you have or know someone who has something like this then please can you PM me

Thanks

Hi everyone

Can anyone tell me if you can buy a cheap-ish SMALL amp?

Basically I have a toyota MPV and I need a small amp to go in the dash. So I need it fairly small.

Something around 6"?

This is to power my 8" subwoofer which is going to be mounted on the bottom part of the dash. I have no idea how powerful the sub is, I have looked all over and cannot find anything. It just says JL audio....... I am guessing 300 watts?

So can anyone recommend a amp ?? I think the max I can spend is around £60-70

If not, does anyone know if this would fit?

Does that spec seems like it would power my sub?

Thanks

really? just hoover them?

I never had a panel filter before, all my induction kits I had before were washed and oiled except my AEM for my civic.

So just run a hoover attachment over it and it's done? how clean will this be?

Iddy. sending you a PM

Just looking into getting a Blitz SUS panel filter and was wondering if you can clean them?

Has anyone got one of these? I know you can clean the K+N panel filters but I'm not sure what are the blitz one are made of and if you can clean them.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Ah I see. Just looking into it at the moment. I will prob be looking to get some after I get the car lowered anyway (not my GT by the way) Will have to order some lowering kit from japan.

Sorry to dig up an old topic. Will you wear out the bearing If you use hubcentric ones? Or does all spacers cause the bearing to wear down quicker?

Thanks. I am rubbish as guessing weights.

Yeah It's only light items but deliveries are always weight and size so I need to find out

Can you do a guestimate on A.spoiler and B.the pair of evo/scooby lenght skirts.

as these will be under 2 auction and I need to know the rough weigh of each

Ill stick my neck out and say between 10-15KG possibly?

Which is that for? both??

Can anyone tell me how much does a OEM GT spoiler and OEM plastic skirts weighs??

I am trying to buy something from a importing site on yahoo auction but I need to know the rough weight so I can get an estimate shipping price.

Actually can someone tell me the weigh of the OEM starlet GTspoiler and maybe the weight of a evo/scooby OEM skirts? The skirts I am getting will be bigger than the GT's skirts

thanks

Honestly a fork works perfectly, slip the prongs between the shaft of the needle and just rock it back, it'll prise them off very gently and won't damage the face of the dials.

That is actually a very good idea..... but managed to get my modeling long nose tweezers in there and pulled the badboy out.

Thanks chaps for the advice:)

OK. I found a tip (on a daihatsu site which shares a simular, if not the same speedo as the bB) and the chap said I need to pull them striaght up HARD. he said ''the needles are only stuck onto the pin / shaft. But very strong''

he also said

''I constructed a tool:

I took a pair of tweezers and bent the endings so I got two L-shaped

endings facing towards each other touching each other without the need

to squeeze the tweezers.

With this I got under the black part of the needles near the shaft and pulled them

off straight upwards.

Be sure to pull in the direction facing off the motherboard.

It won't be easy but when you are carefull and pulling quite hard in

the right direction you won't break anything.''

does this sound right?

Sorry for this really easy question but I need to know kinda quicky.

My friend is going to work on my speedo tomorrow and I need to know before 11am tomorrow.

I need to remove both rev and speed needles off the clocks so I can get the backing plastic (with the numbers, speed, rev) out.

It's for my 2006 toyota bB

I know it's not a common car and prob no one has worked on one before..... but I was hoping most newer toyota will have a simular sort of layout and was put together in a simular way.

So has anyone worked on a newer toyota?

I don't want to pull hard incase I snap or break something.

Getting a new clock will cost alot for me

Thanks

Looking to get some spacers. something around 15mm.

Please PM me if you know anyone who is selling some

Thanks

Hi

Just trying to find some spacers to widen the stance. ATM the wheels are quite far in from the arches

Can someone tell me how do they work? I'm not talking about the slide on ones. I am talking about the bolts on ones. I have seen some which you bolt on to the hub and then bolt the wheels onto the spacer.

But there are also ones which doesn't look like it has to holes to bolt onto the hud

like his one.

http://www.gumtree.c...ery-item-full-3

How will this fit on?

Also does it matter what bore size?

The other thing I don't understand is, some of the spacer have no recess holes for the nuts to sit in, how will the wheel fit over the nuts?

Thanks.

again. this isn't for my GT

Take out a bulb and measure the base of it then look at the sizes below to see what you need. Then go to this link: http://www.ebay.co.u...bulbs&_osacat=0

• T3 - 8mm Base diameter
  
• T4 - 10mm Base diameter
  
• T5 - 12mm Base diameter
  

ah man, you're a star. Just bought some of those bad boys. Thank you so much

errrmmm I have no idea....... they look like the bulb sits on a circle base.

Oh by the way/ it's not for the starlet. but still toyota

Hi guys.

I need someone who knows about LEDs

I know nothing about leds. so I would need some help.

I want to replace some of the dash bulbs on my dash to LEDs. At the moment I see little light bilbs with a green nipples on it.

I want to replace them with a White LED but I am unsure which ones I need.

However I have managed to find a little info but I am still unsure which ones I need.

(reading from japan auction) they are saying something about T3-1 and T4.2 do these sound right?

Any good place to buy these from? found 1 on ebay from ireland but seems to be quite expensive.....unless thats the going rate?

Thanks

Cool. Just checked the instructions and it says use on metal, painted, chrome etc. I guess it's ok.

Thanks for the help

Don't worry. I'm not doing it on the GT or the Evo. It's going to be done on my daily. The bonnet is Just covered in stone chips, I thought I would cover it instead of getting it resprayed.

Hey everyone

Just got a quick question to ask.

I am looking in getting a couple of these sheets and wrapping up some interior parts, maybe even my bonnet.

I have been advice to get 3M products but I have seen Di- Noc and 3M scotchal.

Can someone tell me what are the difference between these 2?

Also if someone has any recommendation in where to buy (like which seller on ebay) or even has a link to the ebay listing or company's website then that would be great

so is it safe to use wheel wax on poilished areas

?

I recently bought a set of Artec german wheels (can someone tell me if they are any good?) and the chap who sold them to me said the lacquer on the lip has been stripped and polished up.

He said I can use fine sand paper to get rid of some small defects and polish it back up with autosol.

OK. so my question is. Can I use my poor boys wheel wax on the wheel? or should I leave the polished area alone? I don't want any reaction if there is any.

1 other thing, As the lacuqer has been taken off. What is the chance that the alloy will rust/bubble up as it's exposed to rain.

Sorry but this is my first set of polished wheels.
