Cheers Matey! I want it PERFECT for summer/show season Cheers Matey! Apperciate it! Iddy offered more then enough help, cant fault his service, but ontop of them not fitting, ive decided to stick with stock skirts, i think they suit the varis bumpers better... Yep, thanks iddy! As i said cant fault your customer service! They will be back with you soon! gearbox update: Andy gave me a ring and asked me to bring my driveshafts down because he wanted to test the LSD to make sure it was tight.... It was indeed VERY tight, tighter then he thought, which should aid in the traction department! 2nd gear syncro was worn and both bearings could do with being replaced is what he said.... but i told him to just replace all the syncro's with new ones, new bearings and reassemble... So he has ordered the parts.... Expensive Bill... But tbh I know it will be perfect! I also got pictures, its so complex i wouldnt dare opening one, and i got pics of the LSD for future referance! So no one can doubt my claims! ohh my god!! bits everywhere! Theres the Diff

ok then... member for at least 30days? just cause TGTT do somthing doesnt mean its a bad idea :/ certainly would filter tossers like this out... and as for his attitude mate... report them stolen mate :/ -
Thanks Matey! Thats a very bold statement, really appciate it mate thanks! EPIC reply cheers bbe! RIGHT... Idrees is allowing me to send the livesports skirts back, so cant fault his customer service, which means im sticking with the stock skirts once theyve had a respray, which there currently undergoing now! The rear bumper is also being resprayed because i found a chip right on the bottom near the tow eye so the whole thing is having a new coat.... Still undecided on a spoiler yet! But we'll see! Now, i thought to myself the engine is going to be perfect and all brand new and after chatting to the manchester lot about gearbox failures and not knowing the history of the gearbox ive bought i decided to do somthing about it! I took my gearbox down to Hendersons Transmissions in Belton today in my dinner hour, its going to be completely rebuilt with all new bearings and syncro's etc so its 100% perfect and then re-sealed properly! The guy i spoke to was very helpful, showed me around his workshop and the process the box would go through, an idea of cost and then timescale.. I also asked him to photograph the internals for any future buyers so they know it is indeed equipped with a Cusco LSD! Ontop of that, the guy said he was expecting a yaris gearbox which are known to be really weak when i mentioned starlet but when he saw it he said thats an avensis box isnt it? or VERY similar.... He said there a very strong box and should handle the power im going to have easily! Which is good to hear! Maybe Avaensis 6Speed's fit on our cars people! Ricky@Race-Tech also mentioned to me that the head needs some valve guides replacing to be within the tolerances he'd recommend for the engine, they have been down now and its having the porting and polishing done, then the 3angle valve seats and skimming.... Wont be long till its back in the front of the shell now! Then its Turbo Kit Time

wat a pain in the arse these are turning out to be! I expected a bit of prep work for these, but not this much! thats how it stands atm, u can see my new JDM clusters on the back... but the skirts r by no means fitted properly yet! This gives me an idea tho... I had noticed that the skirts are actually lower then the back and front bumpers... but i dont think it matters too much i might adjust them and lift them up yet... but the stock rear bumper is higher then the stock skirts so..... Ill keep yall posted! lots of filing, sanding etc to do... DannyGlanzaV's glanza is making me think its all worth it so keep looking at a pic of his for inspiration lol! However if it doesnt work out ill get stock skirts resprayed and refit them! Majority of problem is the inside edges.... they are very curved and need to have more of a right angled point to them to fit... so getting an electric sander(black n decker mouse) in there is a ballache but im getting there slowly... thats with pressure applied too^ again with pressure applied, i need to get rid of that little gap for it to fit perfectly... Booked a day off work to just work on these.... So Saturday they have to be done, because there booked in at bodyshop for monday morning... and Sunday im taking Steve to get his engine that should have arrived yonks ago... All Work, No Time!
