  1. Cheers mate, I assumed he was trustworthy but seems like no. If I get some more evidence it has been sent for real I can negotiate some more, but since he hasn't replied my two last messages...well we'll see.
  2. Yeah, two months is a long time. It took one week he could get it sent by his words, but never received the tracking code. Asked for it like 4 or 5 times.
  3. Yeah I remember! It was a bit of a hassle but all went well in the end and I'm still using the decat. You event sent me a photo of the receipt so you had proof you had sent it! This thursday it's 9 weeks, so I'm out of patience and just opened a dispute on paypal.
  4. Thanks mate, I believe it will be ok. Funny thing he visits here every day and is active posting stuff, but not replying my PMs. Reads them though.
  5. Yeah, I've been patient. I've had peace of mind since I read from paypal site about the 180 days dispute period. I haven't been in a rush with the manifold anyway. I guess 8 weeks should be enough for any courier/postal service to deliver a package to Finland, so putting the dispute in this week.
  6. Bought a CT9 manifold from him. Haven't seen the manifold or even a tracking code or name of the courier company and it's been more than 8 weeks since I paid it. He stopped replying my PMs after 45 days. Luckily you can open a paypal dispute within 180 days nowadays... Any similar experiences?
  7. Cheers! TRD lsd was awesome till the box started making noise. Cornering feels totally different, it just suck you in the corner so be careful first time you corner hard. ;) Going to drop the glanza box back in when I get it serviced first.
  8. Cheers guys! Painted it with maston rubber comp, similar to plasti dip. The colour is really close to the real super white.
  9. Ok, so the drive shaft started to move and leak a bit of oil so went and got me a NA gearbox. Swapped the NA box in and now it has been ok since. Been driving it like 2 months now and it's totally ok. Also found out that the LSD is moving inside the box, so that was making the noise. I have a feeling that it's the bearings or the shim plates that have failed. I'm gonna open the box this winter to check the damage. If it's not that bad, I'll get the glanza box to some company for a rebuild. But for now the NA box is just fine and it cost me only 70 euros + 30 for some cheap oil. Glanza box wa
  10. Thanks, I guess I'll get me a set of driveshafts to match that NA box. Saves alot of hassle. I just hope I won't snap the poor NA shafts.
  11. Ok so it might be safe to use also the NA shafts as a temporary solution I guess.
  12. I might have damaged the other green cup from glanza driveshaft so I probably have to use the inner joints from NA driveshafts. That's why I need to know if the glanza shaft fits in that NA cup.
  13. So that is the question. If I replace a Glanza gearbox with one from NA, do I have to use the green cups from my Glanza driveshafts or will the drishafts fit in the NA cups? Also are the gearbox mounts straight fit to NA gearbox?
  14. Crazy turbo setup! Does your exhaust have a flexi part at all? My fujitsubo power getter has an anoying flange that keeps hitting on stuff. It's like 2cm lower than rest of the car. I'd really like to come up with a solution with that.
  15. That's brilliant gainzy! Skirts make the new wheels stand up really nicely. Welcome to the 16's club. Sweet 16. ;D
  16. Cheers! I like it too. Couldn't think of any other 5 door car for the same price range with sporty looks and being practical at the same time.
  17. Right driveshaft started to make some noise from the box end so put the glanza aside for a while so I can diagnose what's the problem. I hope it's nothing major. Everything still works, but the noise is turning louder and louder if I drive it. I think the the clip holding the driveshaft inside the LSD has failed and the green cup is free to move in and out a bit. Any worst case scenarios? Also got a bit tired making summer trips in a 3 door car so got my self a new daily/winter beater last week It's a 2001 Yaris T Sport and got it for a really good price! The front bumper has
  18. Still interested in that mani, dude.
  19. Thanks Stefan! I was thinking the same -1 degree camber too. Interested to hear how it handles! Thanks Malcolm, appreciate it. Here's a pic from yesterday. Looks actually really low from distance with that new lip.
  20. Cheers mate, haven't seen many similar colour combinations around and been rocking these for a while already Can't wait to see your works wheels, usually can't go wrong with them! It's from a civc mate. Yeah, it's a bit bigger than laguna lip for example but I think It's just the right size for my glanza. I want it to be simple and sleek but still agressive.
  21. Oh and one thing I havent updated here is my Cusco strut brace.
  22. It sure is! Feels so much more agressive! Oh I didn't see that coming? From 14's to 16's! Can't wait to see which wheels you go for mate. not too many of us rocking 16" here around anyway. ;) cheeers
