  1. Self-explanatory. Looking for good second hand examples of something like: Axis Super Hiro Rota GTR Dare Hiro
  2. He's a great guy. Took off the standard exhaust and fitted the K1 for £25. Also, re-fitted my head unit for free when I didn't like the first job he did. I think he fitted something else on my partner's Miata free of charge and also bought the JDM back-box to my house 'cos it wouldn't fit in my boot. Dan Reed - Dage Autos - Weston-super-Mare if he's allowed an advert.
  3. I'm cardiyphobic. Had to get Pimm to help with the pop charger and will no doubt need some help when I get my new black aluminium grille to replace the standard bars. Even got my garage to fit the D1 which everybody else says "takes 5 minutes". Oh, and he does my wipers. In fact, all I've done to the car since buying is put petrol in and polish to within an inch of its life. Oh, did polish my JDM tips I suppose so not completely useless. So no, I won't be fitting new exhaust myself.
  4. Thanks Stew. Search is my friend but I couldn't find a complete idiot's guide to the front plate question or what was underneath the rear burger. I shall try again but this time with patience.
  5. I want to replace the JDM front plate with OEM. I've looked at the fixings and it appears that the whole nose needs to come off to replace as I can't get to the rear of the screws holding it in place. Is this right? Has anybody else done this and does a UK-style plate fit with the existing holes. Also, I want to get rid of the rear burger. Lots of people talk about removing the Fairlady logo but that's nuts IMO. One of the best bits on the car. Is the burger just glued on and can be removed with WD40, dental loss/fishing line and a hair-dryer? Does it leave any marks?
  6. I love the noise. I always imagine I'm in a rally car or some other fantasy. That's what you get when you buy a car where the driver's seat is in the boot.
  7. As Unabashed said, I'm interested. Looking forward to pics and pricing. Will have to be courier as I live 500 miles away! I take it this fits straight on to JDM centre pipe?
  8. Just been to Halfords Gave him the code and he got out 7 mixing paints and measured them in to a styrofoam coffee cup by the gram (smallest amount 0.2 gram) on to a very ancient scale on an uneven surface. He mixed with a lollipop stick and said "does that look ok" I said "er....no - too dark" We went outside with coffee cup and lollipop and held it up to the car and it looked spot on. Back to shop and ingredients poured in to small container with applicator. He priced it at £8.99 and I said I wouldn't pay that much because he wasn't sure if it was the right colour. He said fine and got it for £3.50. Will report success of match when stops raining!
  9. OK. I have some tiny marks to do. Will it need lacquer if it doesn't come with it?
  10. Does the Halfords touch-up paint come with lacquer?

  12. You can have mine for £200. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQsODMuhWOc Tips will be polished before I send.
  13. Nice one Pimm. Looks like the love-child of Noddy Holder and a badger.
  14. That is absolutely shocking, I've got tears in my eyes typing this. Why are there exposed girders? Insane.

  16. That camera is pro and would be used by many commercial photographers for "poster" i.e. billboard size prints. It depends on what lens he used and how the file was saved. If you say they are 15mb it looks like they've been compressed before being handed to you. I'd imagine the ones you've got are good for 40" x 30" posters but the originals should do much bigger if you want to fill a whole wall in your front room.

    Head Unit

    Husky's right. Bill came to £250 with surround and 2 lots of wiring and then £40 to garage to fit.

    Do you still have your bluetooth connected and does the buttons on the steering wheel still work? Don't use Bluetooth (don't really know what it is TBH) Steering wheel controls still work but need some additional wiring from Sextons.

    Alpine W203Ri Got it for under £200. The fitment issue (top left and right) is now resolved as I originally had the wrong surround. iPod lead pops up in centre tray.

    Welcome. Bit off topic but are there any GT4 custard roadsters??
  21. + me and the wife Cowards.
  22. If you EVER feel like selling. PM me. I want the Custard and I want YOURS. Your photographer has been stealing my compostions: Only joking Beautiful car and fine photography. Serious about buying it though when you get bored of it.
  23. I always thought it was "furry muff" It should never be that...... I always think there's something deeply disturbing about a man who prefers the ultra-smooth Brazillian approach................only children are hair free er..........don't want to get too graphic here but which would you prefer: Giving your loved one a beautiful, long lingering kiss on the lips or doing likewise but he (or she ) has got a beard like Brian Blessed. Which would YOU prefer. Now move the exercise 3 feet South and repeat. Both partners, in all situations, should be as smooth as a babies bum. Although that may not quite be the correct analogy I think you know what I mean.
  24. No they don't. I've asked lots. I manage an estate agency and if my house smelled of smoke, I'd do it outside. Proper airing and regular "old-fashioned" housekeeping (washing curtains/covers) etc. means it's as fresh as a daisy (a daisy that that smokes, of course )
