Bought a mk1 glo badge off her, through ebay. It was described as good, it wasn't. She also tried to justify it as good becuase it's an old item and I got it cheaply in her opinion. Also her other half on ebay seemed to have the same opinion. Sale thread: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....mp;#entry270103 Ebay link: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=130315585354 Details of damage: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....showtopic=21301 Also no offer of a refund, so I may either charge it back on my credit card once ebay and paypal not surprisingly do nothin

the thread in question: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....mp;#entry270103 Also I have saved a screen capture with her comment just incase she decides to do a bit of editing. Although pretty shit that fellow enthusiasts are like this but oh well, you live and learn. I'll negative feedback her, try and reclaim the cash back through ebay and paypal, and WHEN they do nothing, which I'm sure they will do as all their adverts about being safe and protected is total shit like, I'll recharge it through my credit card. That will work, I know that.

packed well enough. I checked inside the packaging to make sure as that was my first thought, but the sellers reply confirms that it wasn't done in transit as she admitted it was there, yet still deems it to be considered good condition. And when you know it's there you can see it in the sellers pictures, but only once you know it's there if you get me.

Pictures as requested to help prove the point one way or another. Left side: Right side:

I did through e bay. And the reply was it was good condition because it's rare and he said i got it cheap. Like the fact it's rare and it's price makes a difference that their version of good condition is shady at best. Also the postage of 15 quid was a bit steep when it cost under 6 quid on thee package. Although i wouldn't have minded it all if it wasn't damaged this is why i normally buy new, as there are to many sellers out there that describe items like in this instant. But i'm glad everyone agrees so i'm not wrong in my view of it's condition not being as described.

Right, I have bought a glo badge from ebay, they are also a user on the UKSC, here is the advert: TOYOTA STARLET MK1 REAR LIGHTING BOARD Here we have for sale, RARE Rear lighting board removed from my EP82 GT Badge illuminates in green Condition is used, but good Cash collection or payment by paypal / cheque Goods will be sent upon receipt of cleared funds I have high lighted the bits that I would like peoples opinions on. As I received the item yesterday and the corners are cracked. The picture on the auction was rubbish as well although you can see it once you have the item i

Some good looking girls in the thread like. Have to say I'm surprised the prettiest in my opinion is actually from the same area as me!

heroes! :surrender:

I keep a track of everything I have bought for my car, including all receipts aswell, but wouldn't paste it on here, a general ball park figure does for me lol

would if I wasn't in the oppersite side of the country!

not much more than standard at the mo as most the of the decent parts aren't on yet lol.

With refunds even if you was charged you would get it back.

Dane's TD04 does look quality like, although it's just the mani, down pipe nad blower iirc. Would be good if he did a kit.

I did a guide on how to do it yourself: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....showtopic=18850 Alot cheaper that way

Yeah it's pretty quick like, only ever done one real quick shift to show how quick you can change gear to a mate like as I'm not one for raping my cars tbh, I ironically don't drive quickly at all. Usually build my cars to a very nice spec just to do it, learn about it and make it as reliable as possible. Tbh I don't care much for the whole JDM imagine. Don't want to sound like I'm being arsey at all, just never cared much for it if you get me. I hawked em as soon as I got my pro races on. And they wouldn't fit over my 4 pots and I knew my pro races would as I had wilwoods 4 pots on my 106

Aye a wee bit more to go like, should be project complete soon enough, well apart from minor things. Well I bought the hdi as I thought I'll try a fmic, then I bought the TD04 kit which has one in it so no point in keeping hte one I had. Only reason I have the tmic back on is that I haven't got round to fitting my td04 kit with it's fmic. Thought you'd like it bud

Nay to worry about that bud, used to it pretty much already. But appreciate the advice. Cheers Cheers Yeah I ended up clocking it when I didn't need to so it's clocked to the right position for my fmic now haha.

about 15-16k including purchase of the car. In 6 months roughly.

Ah you're one of the powers that be's on here! lol Also passed it's mot a few days ago first time

Today I made a little head way into getting some of the junk that I've bought onto the car, even though it was raining!: Off with the old: Mid process: Finally fitted: Just took it out for a spin, feels really weird although I'm sure I'll get used to it. Although things didn't go smoothly, mainly this: Oooops! So I had to throw on my new leads as well for that, so put on the new dizzy and rotor arm while at it: note thats before they are pushed in properly and yes my engine bay is filthy As stated this is ripped from another forum so is compressed a fair bit, and not very well

Post brought some more parts of the turbo kit!: Few more parts arrived when I got home: New leads, dizzy stuff, rear bearings, bearing caps (or whatever they're called), exhaust gasket, rear brake pads and sump plug. New rad and injectors. Need a few more gaskets and bolts and I should be good to start throwing on shit to the car. Hopefully pick them up tomorrow from town. Hopefully so I can get stuff on this week.

More stuff that has arrived: Turbo in bits to rotate: Although I don't have a set of clip things to manage to rotate the housing, so it's back together with it pointing towards the front of the car if it was in lol Also half the kit is missing, where it's gone I am unsure as I was given 2 tracking numbers and I collected 2 packages. So investigating whats went on there like! lol Also received new rear disks as mine are a bit past it. Didn't take any pics of those though, not really interesting. The offending compressor housing locating pin in location: The offending compressor ho

Few pics of the forged engine from tm developments: Mileage before fitting: Fitted: Engine damper: TRD mounts:

Just reading over the thread and it does look like none of the parts are fitted lol. Some pics of them fitted: Team Dynamics & Wilwoods: Lots of blue hosing: Samco Hosing: Recaro's: Interior stuff: Note - that pedal was there when I got it, just haven't removed it yet!! BC Coilovers (adjustable top mount part): Cusco cylinder stopper: Air filter relocation: I am tempted to fit the shifter today but I am going down to england with the car on Wednesday and would prefer to have it standard shifting just incase lol

Few of the parts that I have bought for it: BC Coilovers: Air filter relocation kit: Team dynamic Pro Race 1.2's: Head unit and trays fitted: 4 pot setup: Turbo: Recaro seats: Brake cylinder stopper: HDI Intercooler: Sequential shifter: Braided lines: Arc top mount intercooler: Zisco equal length stainless manifold: Zisco stainless decat:
