That's some hoard of sexy JDM parts :o You must be well chuffed!

lol @ hospitality comfort thing, me and a mate went to france cos he was looking to buy a house (he runs his own business) one of the houses we looked at we got invited in for pancakes and coffee, all with the best chinaware, i dont speak french, he speaks tourist french and the only one who speaks rough english is the agent, that was very uncomfortable. Hospitaloty is great an all, but not when you just wanna find out the deal with a car, pay and be on your way.
Not surprised at the police, happy to screw around driving patrol cars and sitting around on the side of a road, give them something to do and it wont happen, missus got pulled a fortnight back cos she pulled out of tesco underground carparking space without her lights on, turned them on when she went out from under the lights and realised she couldnt see the road, they followed her 2miles across 3 roundabouts,, then did the whole dont let it happen again, sod off and bother someone else, pillocks.
Well, you musta known this was coming…. stainless exhaust.....v6 compatible?
-
Wel it certainly was a day out and was just as random as the fly to dublin to drive a car back weekend I had last year for the in laws whne they moved here again.
Could not believe the astra on the motorway it was carnage but the traffic police arent crime fighters they are just a part of the insurance process now.Loving the JDm parts now and they all seem to be in very good order even though the car isnt that great really but will sell due to its price and length of MOT.
Jesta - dont know about the exhaust I will check as it looks like a V6 box but the pipe from the box goes over the rear crossbar and is joined in front of the wheel with a U bolt and not behind with a flange + bolts.
Its certainly doesnt suit a 1.5 but I did rinse a saxo 1.4 with the same exhaust who wanted to have a go lol
-
PICS :D :D
Not very good but you get the idea, it also has a seatbelt extender too, the fog light grills in pic 1 seem to be OEM too because there is no missing switch for the fogs
-
Lush, thats some nice JDM right there :)
Same kick plates as me now then :)
I just need to fine new tape for mine as it's peeled off.
It's also got the tiltable seats :) bitch.

Havent been near it after half a day in it yesterday so no more pics, japanese people are a bit more petit so dont need so much padding in the seats and those were rock hard but they are more comfortable tilted
As for tape for your kick plates I found some for £3 in japan just right for yours

Too small bud, want it as close to OEM as possible, I'm getting a vinal place near me to make us some :)
-
if its printed vinyl then that stuff can wear off really fast, ask them if they do a protective layer laminate
-
As they are impossible to get, get the vinyl shop to make a whole sheet and sell them on fleabay especially for the eunos kickplates, they will sell well and you will get yours for free :wink:
Also as requested Lori heres a pic of the eunos in the daylight
-
I do love the Eunos's, even teh dash is better tbh.
The Eunos badge on the bonnet, is that the Eunos badge you were talking about bud?
It as 100% clear side lights?.. Thats aftermarket isn't it.
OEM Eunos ones had 100% orange and UK has Orange inserts on the turn signals.
-
Thanks for pointing them out :shock: :shock: I didnt realise, could be why they are hanging out lol
The eunos badge looks normal in the daylight, it looked like it had another layer under it but it does not LOL :oops:
I will also be removing the black grills from where the fog lights were as they seem to just clip to the rear of the hole :shock:
I will make a list this weekend of all the parts for sale and parts I have stripped then its up for sale again
Mirrors, front splitter (mine is broken) and the indicators will be going on mine saturday :D :D
-
Nice, You can heat up the UK ones and remove the yellow inserts but it's some work.
I look forward to the list and your welcome :)
-
Did it come with one of these :)
-
no just V5 + mot :cry:
-
itd be awesome if we could read chicken scratches
-
If you want to speak japanese fluently then simply place hot chips in mouth and try talking :lol: :lol:
