    Paint jobs

    A good finish can be got with rattle cans, however I find it doesn't last, the paint never seems to take as well so chips easily, scratches easily as lacquer never fully hardens, and it is difficult to get a decent match, I think this is due to where you go though, and the lasting of it may be improved with using an oven? Do like the wheels but I dunno if they would suit a white V?
  2. Ah cool, nice one mate ill do that, just need to source two spare ones as I damaged two with mole grips, what a fool
  3. Nice one mate thanks for the advice, ill pass it on to my painter as I don't trust myself to do such a big item lol
  4. Look in this lads thread mate, the ones down the side of the bootlid
  5. With the greddys you can just pop the bung off the back and replace the bulb
  6. Ah ill just cut em mate, Micky yeah I'd of done that but trying to test fit the spoiler today I kinda bent the passenger side ones
  7. Fuck it don't look especially riveted? So does that mean I can't remove them and replace? Yeah I can dremel them off but how do I go about replacing if I wanna go back to standard? Bolt the top and seal the bottom as I'm gonna with the livesports spoiler?
  8. Anyone any idea how to do this without damaging the boot? Also, can you get new clips from Toyota as I've bent two a little trying to remove em with mole grips, now my spoiler doesn't seat perfect lol...I am changing it for a livesports but in case I want to swap back?
  9. Likely just a bulb mate
  10. Is there a reason not to lacquer it? Justaskig as i've just got a white livesports and need it painting, is it not a good idea to lacquer?
  11. Best I have of mine:
  12. I've done this mate, you need a decent mani with external wastegate port, you will also need either a downpipe making with a dump pipe from the wastegate in it or if not a screamer pipe which avoids things in the engine bay. You will then need a wastegate with spring, I have a Tial one but some people recommend the cheaper ones. As for the internal wastegate, either get the penny welded up, get the arm the actuator attaches to tacked(if you ever want to undo this you can just hammer off the tack which is how i've done it), you can also use a bracket or even just keep the actuator attached with no vac lines on but this is somewhat of a bodge. You won't really gain any power but I feel it allows you to use the power of the car as i found with all my mods and a ported wastegate i would creep to fuel cut in seconds even at 0.3 bar, with the external you can set it to 0.8 bar and spool up rapidly to that and it will hold there without overboosting or dropping off significantly.
  13. I think the grommet is 32mm?
  14. Thats no half bad, get working overtime so you can get a spoiler lol
  15. I've only ever heard his song 'Dance with the devil' Sends shivers down my spine :/

  17. I was told you need the widest gap possible without blowing it out Think mine are at 0.9 for 1 bar boost I got the NGks and to say they were meant to be pre gapped they weren't lol
  18. Haha I will cheer up soon, Thursday I'm working till 4 then got a long weekend off, Xmas eve I'm working till 4 and then got a few more days off so its not all bad
  19. The underside of the backbox mate, should be stamped jasma 001 and fujitsubo giken co. if it is. And they use a strange type of hanger that could be missing or misaligned mate
  20. Get a pic of underneath it mate ill tell you if it is, if so I might no why you said it was hitting the back bumper( that was you weren't it? Lol)
  21. There's some on his Facebook but I didn't wanna post without his permission
