  1. Pioneers are very very fussy. Unfortunately the customer support is crap they told me to turn off my Internet and try it again or upgrade to a 'better' phone like an iPhone as they're in bed with Apple
  2. This car looks very familiar, especially with the badge over the middle spoiler hole. Those speaker crossovers can be relocated inside the doorcards which would look a lot neater. If you're going to fill the middle hole maybe look at doing the rear fogs too, smooth bumpers look good imo. Where abouts are you based? I did have a spare aircon compressor from my old sports M but I think I chucked it, may be best to ask ams for one. As above keep the wilwoods! Get some Mtecs on the rear too. Looks like you have a nice example to tinker with though!
  3. Brake early with light pressure and increase the pressure slowly and evenly. That's what I've been told. But to be honest just drive normally, but be aware that they won't brake properly until the coating left by the manufacturing process has been worn away.
  4. At least he didn't blow up his driveshaft :rolleyes:
  5. I thought the ACT clutch was awesome, didn't affect daily drivability too much either
  6. My 205 as a bit tatty, I'll either get rid of it soonish cheaply or keep it a while longer, tidy up the bodywork and sell it on for a bit more if you're interested?
  7. Welcome to modifying cars 9/10 something doesn't go to plan!
  8. Good thing my paintwork is crap and I don't give a damn
  9. Ooh you lucky bugger, whack some TTE rally pods on the front
  10. I think without projector lenses you're not going to be getting that much more light. Have some 120% brighter bulbs in mine and they're still crap
  11. Light dispersal on the St205 cluster is pretty crap, looking into doing mine with SMDs or COBs and modifying the light channels
  12. Yeah nice cars but not worth anywhere near that kind of money, and as it's been up for sale for so long it's either nor being used or the milage is gonna be going up and up
  13. Lower the number the coarser the sandpaper is. You could probably start with a 600 and work your way up depending on how smooth you want it. For plastic don't go too rough or you'll put grooves in it, use a sanding block and just 'key' it with 1200 and get some plastic primer on it. I'd use etch primer on metal products.
  14. Going from having 2 gen 7s to a 6 I can say that the 6s feel much better in terms of build quality. Some gen 7s I drove felt tired and wooly, lowering springs, brass gear shifter bushes and being generally well looked after they do drive very nicely, feel tight and responsive. Maybe see if there's a member near you with a well looked after one you can try?
  15. Happy 2 Anniversary The Spectre!

  16. My buddy has a Beams Altezza and the celica leaves it for dust
  17. Bought my first celica when I was 19, a big step up from a 1l 3 banger corsa. For what they are they look awesome, are cheap to buy, Insure and fix, they are reliable too. You'd be surprised at 19 the amount of people who say 'you are insured on that? Isn't it really expensive? Stripped out Sports M is quicker than a fair amount of other cars but it's not fast fast, just enjoyable to drive. Then again I love cars, tinker with them all the time on the look out for my next project something turbo rwd/4wd next. Currently install ICE systems for the main part of my job.
  18. I'd give plastidip a go first, it will fade and discolour if not looked after but you can still peel it off and your paintwork will be fine. Permiwrap I would guess will fade the same way but is unremovable without damaging the original paintwork.
  19. I have some college students studying photography always taking videos and pictures of my car when I'm driving around town. Best time was when I had just stuck on my bonkers Loud exhaust and floored it past them in a tunnel. Set off 3 car alarms and the one crouching with the camera fell over Got the is it a Ferrari? Card played a few times too.
  20. White pearl would be the closest you'd get. http://www.miataturbo.net/attachments/insert-bs-here-4/84014d1374891127-plasti-dip-experiment-dsc_2902_zpse59d7b76-jpg
  21. Wonder if it fades like plastidip?
  22. Wonder how long a permiwrap will last?
