Re: Supplier for Nardi / Personal?

Dont know the answer to your question, but was always under the impression Nardi was "budget" in terms of sports steering wheels etc..... like the Japanese version of Ripspeed? :lol: Not at all [-X They're actually top quality wheels easily up there with the best from the likes of Momo et...

Supplier for Nardi / Personal?

Does anyone know of any UK sellers or the UK importer for Nardi and Personal steering wheels? I've got a Personal (made by Nardi) wheel to put on my car but it's missing the horn push. The only ones I can find are from an American seller on ebay but although he'll post abroad he won't take a Paypal ...

Sorry if I'm being thick here Paul :oops: but I'm not exactly sure what bits you mean, is it the metal plates under the air vents/grilles? If so they're not removable are they, they're welded in place?

Re: Rear Cusco Type AS strut Brace - modify Hood?

I bought one of these recently but haven't fitted it yet and the shop / supplier never told me I had to modify anything! I don't like the idea of having to modify the engine lid, I don't want to do anything that's going to crack or damage the paint :?

Re: Toyota CD Player?

Thanks for everyones advice and tips :) Neville do the Nakamichi units have built in amps as I know some top end head units don't? Yeah, the Naks do have amps. It's only the really high end stuff (like Mckintosh) that don't. Just check that it says "20W output" or something like that and ...

Toyota CD Player?

I'd like to put a CD player in my car (a CD/Tuner) but would also like to keep things looking as stock as I can, so bearing that in mind does anyone know if there's such a thing as a single din Toyota badged CD/Tuner from any other Toyota models that I could slot straight in?

Re: New Wheels, lowering??

Yeh I thought afterwards they might be the Axis rims, I also like the Axis San which is a multi/cross spoke design, they're both the sort of retro look I'm after. Isn't 8" wide and et25 offset pushing it a bit though, surely they'll rub if you lower it won't they?

Re: New Wheels, lowering??

Your wheels look great :) are they the new Rota Rewind as I was thinking about ordering a set of those? Also what offset are they, it's hard to tell from the picture/angle but they look a little wide at the front?

Re: Minty Mk1 on eBay... worth a look (Hertfordshire)

Finished at £2400 without meeting reserve, seems a decent price to me for eBay that - the seller might end up kicking himself for the unrealisticly high reserve.......... I see he's re-listed it now, he says the reserve has been lowered as it must sell. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1987-TOYOTA-MR2-MK1-IN-...

Gear Lever Gaiters

Could someone just confirm for me please if cars with Blue interiors have a Blue gear lever gaiter (standard spec) or was it Black on all cars?

Cheers :)

Re: New dampers - Konis vs new standard Toyota ones

Hi guys, I received the Koni kit today, excellent service from larkspeed and I got the whole lot for £410 delivered inc VAT! Looking at the instructions though, they supply a new top nut which is circular (no flats on it) and two holes on the top. The pictures show it being tightened with a special...
