Well it's been a longtime coming but I am looking at get my car resprayed next year. I would ideally like to get this carried out by a local company, but I'm struggling to find anyone that I would be happy to take my car to, and would rather go by someone's recommendation tbh. If you guys would let me have details of anyone you have used for your resprays I would really appreciate it. Not so hung up about costs, but obviously don't want to pay over the odds! One thing to bear in mind is my car being a wide arch, it has an amount of fibre glass on it, so the shop would need to be familiar in prepping & painting'/fettling' some of the panel work. Look forward …

This is part fyi and part for sale thread. I took a punt and bought another stalk as the symbols adorning looked good and true enough when it arrived it was mint, great one thought. Tis the top one in the below pic.... On further inspection/taking out the one i have currently fitted and i have touched on this subject before, please note this pic where you'll notice an extra 3 pinned plug, this is to make the kerb lights come on when i signal that front corner (dips need to be on), a feature i quite like and wish to keep. And these are my plugs that go in said holes, mine is a series 4 slicktop, so of course Jap.

....before I start to tear my dash apart to remove the dial surrounds, I can't remember for the life of me, but does the black backing lift out? I glued them in, so there's likely to be some residue, if I can, I'd rather take the black backing off from another set of clocks. Is this doable or will I have to lift all the dials out and refit them to another cluster?

So I've had this car for a while, but only recently have i had time to do anything to it so i figured I would start another thread for all this car's related work. It's a 1989 JDM na Auto SWB. When I bought it I thought I would take the parts I needed off it for my TT, but the TT works and I don't really need loads of parts for it so I want to keep this car complete and put back on the road. It looks like a barn find, but trust me it's not as bad as it looks (hopefully).

I am having my rear windows tinted and the guy doing the tinting seems to think the windows are not glass but some kind of lexan material, they have the nippon safety mark on them, Does anyone know if some imports came with lexan windows?

What is the capacity for automatic transmissions when fully drained? I heard it is around 5l but should I get and extra 1l on top of would 5l suffice. Also so people aren't worrying I'm not buying the right thing, it's: correct? Cheers, Ali

does anyone know is the zx tt fuel pumps good for around 520-550 bhp. read a lot of conflicting info from 350-700 need to narrow it down lol

You know about my leaking rad by now - and may know I have purchased a pattern one, which my local garage is fitting... Well, the garage called me today, to say the new rad is not the same - mine has (apparently) 6 pipes coming off of it, but the new one only has connections for 4. As far as I knew, there should be 2 big ones (top and bottom main hoses) and the 2 small ones on the side, for the auto transmission cooler. I have not counted the expansion tank, before anyone says anything! The online service manual - and every picture of an OEM auto-trans radiator I have seen - all show only the 4 pipe connectors. Does anyone have an idea what the other 2 are?…

Does anyone know this registration at all? A mate has called me about it, it's a white 300 that's been dumped. Front is smashed up apparently

G’day all, Earlier today I collected some silver body panels from Bridgwater. This included a silver front bumper, which will eventually replace the black one that was fitted after my little mishap.:whistling: When I first purchased the car back in April, the bumper had been resprayed and the front fascia was silver – like the later model Zeds. I wasn’t a fan at first but it did grow on me. Now I’m in a position where I can choose to respray the whole bumper like this, or I can keep the black fascia. What are everyone’s thoughts? Do I keep the black trim?:confused1:

Hello everyone, I have a '90 TT with the full automatic heating system. It's working like it should but I was wondering, would it be possible to (easy way) convert it to the later system where you can choose blowerspeed and blowdirection? Would it only take the ecu to change or is it much more complicated than that? Mike

I had the rear subframe out and replaced the bushing with poly bushings and on all the other suspension parts also and installed ksport coilovers. I just thought the ride was this harsh because of the ksport. But it was still harsh when installing original dampener and spring. So thought maybe the dampener was done for. Replaced with some new eBay dampener. Still harsh as hell. Bought and installed powertrix coilovers. Rear still harsh/hard as hell. Front is fine. Questions is can I have done something wrong with the bushings?
