No worries bud, I’ll pop it up again next month. But it’ll always be 2nd Thursday in the month. So the 11th April will be the next one.

Afternoon all. A couple of us on here used to own MR2’s and were heavily involved in the MR2oc. We used to have a regular meet for many years each month in mid-Essex which was generally well attended by both Essex and Kent based people. That hasn’t happened for a year or so now so we’ve decided that we’re going to restart it as a general Japanese car meet. For now the format is going to stay as we used to have it. Meet at a pub in the evening, look at cars, have some food. Thursday 14th March 2019. Arrive around 7:30pm with a table booked for 7:45pm-8pm. Location is: The Grange, Main Road, Boreham, CM3 3HJ. https://www.chefandbrewer.com/pubs/essex/grange/ If anyone is interested please drop your name below for table numbers. At present there are a couple of guys with Z’s and 5 or 6 with MR2’s. Cheers Dom

You are indeed

After a full set (driver side and passenger side) of window switches from an import. Anyone got a pair stashed in their garage? cheers Dom

You mean the Z vent that’s hidden when the door is closed? It just pops out. Slide a flat trim removal tool under the bottom and it’ll pop out. If you don’t have trim removal tools than you can use a flat bladed screwdriver but be careful to avoid scratching the dash. The bolt you you can see through the vent holds in the dash.

Is there any other way of working on cars? Haha yeah I did.

That’s what I did. Took out the old unit and put in the cubby box. I also removed the dvd drive behind the drivers seat and fitted another glove box behind there. So I gained two more little places to put things.

Yeah they look spot on. I used to have a set of white 5Zigen’s followed by a set of white lenso d1r’s on my old MR2. Got loads of stick for those but I do love a set of white rims. They look completely different and look great against the blue. Good choice!!

I would expect the wiring is there tbh, although straightforward to check, if you just ease the centre waterfall panel forwards you’ll see the plugs for the sat nav screen in there behind the cubby box. Surely the guy you’re swapping with wouldn’t agree though if he didn’t think it was doable (presumably he modified it to the cubby box originally?). As you say the sat nav DVD drive is a bit more involved to swap over but only extra plastic panels.

Pretty sure the OP will have found a car of some description in the past five years!! Thread revival haha.

Absolutely stunning. Welcome to the forum.

I’m just outside Colchester, right on the Suffolk border bud.

Welcome to another East Anglia car!!

PM’d buddy if you’re still doing these.

Ooh noted. Might pop down next month.

Without a shadow of a doubt, you have it bad!! Haha lovely pair (of cars) you have there.

Welcome!!!

Welcome to Z ownership in Essex. There’s a few of us around.

I’m in the process of fitting one from the first GB to a jdm now. I don’t need another one haha. Ok interestingly my uk HR only operates the drivers door on the key. Weird. Not getting a signal down the purple door loom wire on the jdm.

Has anyone fitted a module to a jdm with no remote fob? Anyone know if the bcm sends a lock signal when the door is locked with the key on a manual central locking car?

Just sat and read all of this whilst I’m supposed to be working haha. Great build and love your do it yourself attitude, brilliant effort and it’s showing in the result.

Hi guys. Anyone got a pair of 20mm Eibach spacers taking up space in their garage? cheers Dom

Pm’d

No just to clarify I had to swap both. The button inside worked as normal but the auto fold was reversed. So I’ve now got the white and red wire on the car is connected to the white module wire and the brown module wire. The white and green wire on the car is connected to the grey and the orange module wires. 

All fitted and working on a HR. The HR plug has an extra wire on the small plug (in the blank position on the revup so not needed). All the rest are in the same positions. The only issue I had was that I had to reverse the white/red and white/green cables on mine. Otherwise as per the guide it was closing them on start and opening on lock. Chris I’ve pm’d you. Just putting this here for he other guys with HRs who were looking at fitting today.
