  1. my windows gave a bit of bother a while back. Turned out the glass had come away from the arm holding it in place. was just a case of removing the plastic shield on both doors and tightening up all the bolts in the glass and arm for the glass

    hope this helps mate

  2. Finally getting around to sorting out the problems with the engine and im dropping a 35k engine in next weekend.

    What parts should i strip off my old engine before i bring it to the scrappies. I know about the head gasket but what other easy removable parts would be suitable to sell on and try recoup some of my spent pennies.

    Anyone on here need anything from it?

  3. noticed a small amount of water on the passenger footwell, and water dripping from behind the glove box. I presume the problem is the Heater?

    How much roughly am i looking at to replace it or is there any temporary fixes i can do for 2-3 weeks as i have no money for a while.

    it drips along the black plastic before finally dripping down from the gold nut in the middle of the pic

  4. the wee rubber covers for over the top of the brake pipe for when ure bleeding the brakes. i had one missing and the rubber cracked on 2 of them removing them so they cant go back on. Ive tried motorfactors who told me they would never stock such a part

  5. I removed the badge on the bonnet a while ago, and had to stick it back on after realising there was 2 holes behind it. Can anyone tell me if the round toyota badge on the bootlid is the same or if its just stuck on with rubbers.

    Im replacing all stickers and badges with different designs and dont wanna have the round toyota badge at the top

  6. Ive sent my wheels off to be Refurbished and resprayed. Problem is ive only just rememberd i have a centre cap missing, and with the new colour its gonna be big time obvious. I have given up trying scrapyards for one centre cap, so now im lookin to know if anyone has the exact measurements of the centre caps, and i can just buy some plain black or simply ones with the toyota badge

    Wheels are Speedlines from a TTE Spec sr.

  7. Finally got my engine bits powdercoated. Was origionally gonna go for a dark red, but i didnt want to be seen as copying style, so i chose a colour no one else would ever have. Shoud dull down a bit when all fitted and ill break it up with some new trd leads etc

    Whats everyones Honest opinions. (I can take it)

  8. I bought a set of dtm mirros, and was advised to go for mk3 astra base plates. I tried fitting them today, but the base plates dont match up to the rubber seal behind the old mirror. Is the only thing i need to do source a set of rubbers from behind m3 astra wing mirrors?

    Also i was told the mk3 astra plates would require slight modification. Can anyone remember exactly what modification is involved.

  9. i was amazed it was all settled so quick. Had to shake the guys hand at the end of it all. Accidents can happen to anyone, at the end of the day he accepted blame and put his hand into his pocket. Only problem now is the money is sitting in front of me and i keep finding my self drawn to the for sale sections on websites, and funkystyling.com etc. Then just find a cheaper bodyshop to do the work and im still no worse off.

  10. nah ill finish the engine bits off first, just picked the parts up this afternoon from toyota.

    Need the head skimmed, powdercoating done, piston rings fitted, manifold fitted, engine flushed and oil changed, and gear box oil changed. The guy hit my car literally the afternoon after i rang toyota to order them all in.]
