  1. I found this by magic somehow. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=31862&highlight=glass+headlight
  2. I was following this OAP at 20mph for quite a while whilst in my van, it was on a 30mph road. I got so pissed off that I overtook him and an island at the same time, no other traffic around. He must've reported me to the Police becuse I got a phone call from a Police Officer the next morning before I went to work, she wanted a friendly chat!
  3. I meant drill it out with a standard drill. Or use a impact screwdiver with a philips bit. Glad you got it sorted!
  4. Your local Toyota dealer will get them for you in a couple of days.
  5. You shouldn't have any problems at all drilling it out, nice sharp drill though. You set an impact screwdriver to turn either CW or ACW then hit the end with a hammer, it will turn it and give you a better grip on the screw. Don't be worried about drilling it out, you basically don't have to drill very deep. You're just wanting to remove the head of the screw. A nice sharp 6mm drill. You'll have to replace the screw anyway.
  6. Not sure what sort of screw it is, but you could try using an impact screwdriver. Like Ceptik says, drill it out.

    16" Rubber

    Lack of demand! Wheel sizes have increased over recent years even on standard family cars.
  8. I didn't remove anything on mine! Access isn't great but I didn't have any problem at all removing the filter.
  9. I'm not sure if it's your missing cat or not. The catalysts reduce the CO and HC emissions , you've passed them.
  10. They should illuminate straight away, but it takes a second or two for them to give full brightness!
  11. True, don't want to fit a different front bumper. The intake for the SMIC isn't that big at all, but it does have the adavantage of having an unrestricted exit. . Having the radiator and engine behind a FMIC isn't helpful to air flow. It would be nice to know how a FMIC with a stock bumper would compare to a CW SMIC.
  12. The trouble is that there's no hard data on any of them. It makes it so difficult to decide which is best.
  13. I've had a couple of pagers, they weren't very good at all. Even when I was just 10-30m meters away I would sometimes lose reception which made it totally pointless getting one. Don't get one of these. http://s97030328.oneandoneshop.co.uk/shopdata/0230_SPECIAL+OFFERS/images/305-0565_IMG_300x247.jpg Make sure you get a good one.
  14. Just what I wanted to hear! Looks like the way to go for me aswell!
  15. It's very popular on Supraforums!
  16. I did get the prices from your group buy. I'll definately give you a PM, just cannot decide which to go for!
  17. How do I know it's any good? After doing many searches I cannot find anything conclusive to say why one is better than another!
  18. Looks like I'll have to replace the stock SMIC soon, it doesn't appear to be in that good a condition. I've done loads of searches on here and other places but I'm no further forward. I'm running at BPU, maybe a little extra would be nice but I'm not going to go single. From what I've read I could go for: CW SMIC £632.50 GReddy V-SPL 2-Row £530 HKS S-Type £565 HKS R-Type £975 Blitz LM V-Spec or something? Is it possible to keep the stock airbox with these FMIC's, I've got the stock front bumper aswell. I know the CW SMIC will do the job, but some must be better than others- more efficient, better flow rate etc, I'm not bothered about bling as it'll be hidden behind the meshed bumper . Thanks in advance.
  19. VVTI TT manual 89661-14830 I cannot see one for a NA VVTI with manual gearbox, only auto.
  20. This isn't the stock red colour though!
  21. Fiat Scudo, Peugeot Expert , Citroen Dispatch They're all the same under different badges. The HDI engines are good, common rail turbo diesel. Not sure how much your spending, the older engines are just normal TD . HDI best TD okay Diesel (Normally aspirated ) not so good Just read that he's only keeping it for a month or so, just get anything then . You could just rent one.
  22. Very sad, he was a good sport when he appeared on Top Gear and got locked outside.
  23. He has given permission that if anything can be used to help others then they will!
