Good thinking! I need to take my door cards off again soon so I'm going to try this.

It's round 1 of the UKD1 drifting championship at Snetterton on Sunday. Anyone interested in this?

I had this exact same problem and it was a faulty thermostat. £30 for a new one from Toyota and all was well.

Good to meet ya' Fella!

Cheers Matt!

I'm glad I made the effort to get up to Norwich and I'm sure I'll be seeing you all again at a future meet!

Bit late, but here's some pics from Snetterton: http://www.chrisward.org.uk/pics/snetterton-280305/

I had the same thing on my car just after I bought it. Mentioned it to the mechanic when I took it in for a service and he fixed it by replacing the switch in the gearbox. I'm pretty sure that's your problem, and I suspect if you can get a new reverse light switch from Toyota then you could replace ...

My rims? They're Mille Miglia EV-S, 17x7 at the front, 17x8 at the back. I paid £960 including tyres from Demon Tweeks.

I live just outside Cambridge. I'm not aware of any meets in the area. Maybe we'll have to set one up

Nice one, I hope to see it at a future NJCF meet!

I'm using a set of McGard nuts from Demon Tweeks. Haven't got anything else to compare them to but they look pretty secure and they're Thatcham approved.

I got my Jap size plates from Craig's Plates: http://www.craigsplates.com

I'll second that. Well, they did get my order wrong first time but were very quick in sorting it out, and the plates look great.

Fizz, I'm in a similar position. Looking to spend upto £600 on rims, then probably about £400 on tyres. I really want 7x17" fronts and 8x17" rears but they're almost impossible to find. I've been quoted £375 per wheel for some Japanese rims!

Be interested to hear if you find anything!

Thanks Grajey, that sounds like a possibility. The previous owner had put the wrong size tyres on (205 all round) so I wouldn't be surprised if the wheels don't fit right either.

I was planning to change the wheels soon - if only the studs couldn't have lasted a few more weeks...

I've been noticing a slight knocking/scraping sort of noise from the back of the car for a little while now. I thought it was maybe a wheel bearing or a suspension component. It's booked in for a service next Tuesday so I thought I'd find out what the problem was then. Well, coming home from work la...

I got my import-size plates from Craig's Plates - http://www.craigsplates.com - and was very happy with them.
