  1. I work with someone who's a bit thick and she failed about 4 times, and I thought that was a lot! Common sense really so god knows how you can get it wrong so many times
  2. Still need one guys, PM me if you can help
  3. Haven't had any juddering or pulling away issues with my fidanza one, but I'm using an organic clutch.
  4. Advantage: Quicker revving upwards/downwards. Advantage: Weight saving
  5. Gotta love Easter weekend for the extra days off work!
  6. Don't think it's an issue. Ive got mine plumbed in too
  7. Hi guys Im after the plastic part that sits below the dashboard with the hazard switch and rear window demister buttons on. It goes down, around the heater controls and below the stereo. I think a normal uk starlet one will fit but its for my Glanza. What have you got? Cheers
  8. I'd recommend it. The 4x50w ratings on the head units are PMPO figures whilst the speakers will be RMS. If you buy an amp more powerful than the speakers, then you'll be fine. You will probably need to get a decent wiring kit, and try to keep power and speaker wires as far apart as possible to avoid interference, such as speaker cables down the left side of the car to the rears and power cables down the right.
  9. Invasive sound at the front can be corrected if you have the appropriate controls on your head unit. My Pioneer DEH9600 allows you to centre the audio front to back, left to right, so you can get a perfect sound for you. Obviously for this, you shouldn't go sticking very powerful speakers in the front and crap ones in the back, it's all about balance. Also, you may want to move the speakers to the door instead of the dash, so the sound goes into the car and not into the floor. As for running speakers without an amp, what? lol. You're more likely to wreck speakers or the HU by running them off the HU directly, as the HU usually only supports around 15w RMS, and uprated speakers demand much more. I had three amps in my first car, two cheap alpines that did 2x90w or 1x250w for a sub, and a 1100w sub for 2 500w subs that I had. The whole lot sounded wicked, but it's extra weight and the whole lot is sitting in my roof now. Edit - something like this would do some 6x9's or front speakers, and is similar to the ones i've got. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Alpine-MRP-T130-Car-Amplifier-/121087748224?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item1c31646880 - Just search on ebay for Alpine MRP and loads come up
  10. Insurance renewed for another year, £590 or so with all the important mods declared, and that's with 1 claim and 9 years NCD. Happy days. Bit of an arse they keep claims against you for 5 years Going to be doing little bits to the car tomorrow and hopefully give under the bonnet a bit of a clean! Photos will follow Cheers
  11. Parcel2go.com is very good
  12. Thank you I have a 96 one and it is a different shape! Discovered that a bit too late.
  13. I'm going from Horsham, through Guildford and up towards Bracknell and down the M4. Not sure on the time yet though!
  14. Probably the one i sold! http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?64987-Lower-Arm-Bar
  15. Hello all I'm after a drivers side wing mirror for a facelift Glanza V (97/99). Must fold in and work perfectly, but colour does not matter. 1A0 ideally but just as long as it works. What have you got! Cheers Arnold
  16. Wow, that interior (2nd one)
  17. Thanks for the comments guys Tobie, I take it to Fusion Motorsport. http://www.fusion-motorsport.co.uk/ - They've done loads of high powered cars there and Ed really knows his stuff
  18. Ok got her back from the bodyshop again, so here's how she looks like now. Masking tape in the grill will be gone tomorrow, it's just supporting the mesh whilst the sealant dries.
  19. I'll be there with another club and booked a track session as well! Not been there before
  20. I needed a few stitches to my head but out of hospital after a couple of hours. I was driving along the M1 in lane 5, and aquaplaned. The car spun round across all 5 lanes and the rear right corner hit the armco barrier. That bounced me back into the carriageway across all 5 lanes into the concrete central reservation. Amazingly, I didn't hit anyone else. 10 meters of armco was replaced and so was the concrete wall. The front crash bar definitely helped distribute the energy through the car. If you've removed one of these to fit a FMIC, i'd seriously consider putting it back! Very very lucky indeed.
  21. If EP82/EP91 ones are the same, then I've also got one.
  22. Lol, very good
  23. It may have been a dumb arse question but i've got the answer I wanted , thanks guys
  24. Simple question maybe, but i'm trying to identify the colour or paint code for the rocker cover in this image. Anyone got any ideas how that can be done?
  25. Another way to kill time at work, cheers!
