I’d love to but given the RRP of those I’d never be able to afford them. My Mutekis are actually in really good condition so will just get another set! Wasn’t sure if there were some closed ended nuts I could use but I suppose the only way I’d find this out is to get measurements and trial and error.

Gates open at 0700 according to the emails that have been sent. Have to be on club stand by 0930.

Anyone? Essentially all I want to do is to reinstall the 3rd of 3 OEM gauges but it seems to be on a circuit board connected to the oil pressure gauge, and also the volt meter. dont have the gauges myself but suppose it’s a case of getting one and tracing the board connections - although there could be hundreds..

So back on topic, I presume the Muteki nuts are ok then? ill just order some more in black and sell on my blue ones I think. Unless there are alternatives (in similar price bracket)

So my route plans: Meeting friend just off m4 11 at about 0500hrs. (del sol not 350z) heading from there to Holiday inn (High Wycombe) Off m40 for about 0530hrs. Heading from there to Japfest for about 0700hrs ish. Anyone else doing this route and want to meet up along the way at those times?

Month 5: April 2018 Completed This Month: Painted interior passenger door grab handle - £0 (same paint as purchased previously) Painted exterior door handles x 2 - £0 (as above) Numberplate bulb swap to LED bulbs - £0 (Had some lying around) Front badge replacement - black - £15 Retrimmed OEM Steering wheel swap (Royals Steering Wheels) - £155 Replaced APS Air Filters x 2 - K&N RD-0720 - £65 Installed K&N Pre-filters x 2 - K&N RD - £30 Replaced surface-mount LEDs in climate control unit - £1 Hose braiding installed on cooling system hoses - £13 = £279 total spend A busy month this month, hoping to get the car together in preparation for Japfest in a few weeks time. As I had lots of WV2 paint spare in the can I decided to spray both some interior and exterior door handles. A simple task really although the drivers door had the added complication of the key barrel that most online guides don't seem to cover, but a few hours work and I'm impressed with the finish I've achieved. After the service, Abbey noted that the air filters were pretty bad. I had no idea how bad until I removed the wheel arch liners to replace them! I took their advice too and installed some pre-filters that I'm assured don't impact performance whatsoever but do help to protect the filter from the elements which is quite a benefit given they are located right down in the arches and close to the road/wheels. Another interesting issue since purchasing the car was the fact that the aircon LED never turned on when pressing the button. I also noted that the air diverter LED was intermittent, and so put this down to either loose connections or bad LEDs. Upon disassembly, I could stick my meter across the LEDs to confirm that they were indeed faulty and £1 later (ebay, next day delivery) I had a pack of 10 replacements. I actually thought it'd be nice to have a slightly different colour of LED too - so opted for an orange LED for the aircon and air diverter based on my theory that other cars I've owned before had different colours for the different settings. I'm very happy to get this one fixed! Cosmetic change next - hose braiding. Given the colour "scheme" throughout the car was gold and silver, having blue Samco pipes in the engine bay upset me somewhat. Cheaper than replacing the hoses completely, I simply installed some hose braid over the top with some heatshrink at either end to secure it. Looks sweet and was very cheap to do. Finally, the biggest expense of the month was the steering wheel retrimmed. When I purchased the car, I was given both the standard wheel and an OMP aftermarket wheel. (The latter being fitted to the car) It wasn't to my taste (the rest of the car is pretty "sleeper" image) I decided to get the standard wheel retrimed by Jack @ Royal with a few nice tweaks - 2mm thicker, 2 different leathers, orange sticking and an orange TDC ring to match with the rest of the internal lighting/colours. Although this was the most expensive item this month, I'm actually selling the OMP wheel (and NRG short hub) which should recoup the majority, if not all, of the spend. Result! So next month, Japfest! I'll still have more jobs to do on the car, but these probably won't be in place until after the show. Looking forward to it.

I think that’s the way I’m going - picking up a mate just off m4 j11, then up from there.

I’m Basingstoke, heading up via woodley

Did you order a grams or tarmac in the end? Grams is so much cheaper at the moment and the posts I’ve found all seem to rate it as a good fit..?

As per PM my convoy is meeting at the Holiday Inn on the M40 (J4 I think) at about 5:15/5:30am.

So I’m coming up from Hampshire, but going via Reading and meeting up with some Del Sols at one of the motorway stops on the m40. Very early morning too - lol

I’m coming from Hampshire, have a small convoy of misc cars to be honest - Del Sols and Supras currently. Unaware of any other convoys from this area but if there are id probably join in

I’d possibly be interested in one for a DE at some point in the near future.

No.

Both wheel and hub will be for sale very soon - just awaiting the return of my retrimmed wheel and then they’ll be off the car

Sent! Thanks

Any ideas on prices? Couldn’t see them on your website. cheers

Looks like you still have the false floor in your cubby for the Bluetooth adapter - mine just lifted up to reveal another panel underneath without the screw mounting bit in the middle

Not the locking Nuts it seems - at least according to their website..

Anyone know where I can get a set of Muteki SR48 open ended locking wheel nuts, in black? Had a look at the usual suppliers and not found them. Actually after a full set of SR48’s in black as well but these seem easier to come by - currently have the blue ones but want to refurb the wheels and change colour. cheers

Read the * by Band K. Only applies to vehicles after 2006.

Band M didn’t exist pre 2006 ish, which is why the later models cost more to tax. they can’t/won’t retrospectively change it for older cars. You’re safe.

£305 actually

Agreed - don’t exactly understand what the OPs post is about? New tax bands only affect new cars, although all bands increase slightly year on year (but not £215!)
