Hi Guys, I am upgrading my head unit so I need to pick some higher wattage replacement speakers for throughout the car. I am not looking for some fancy install - just to replace the stock cans with better ones that will fit in all the same spots. Don't want the time and hassle of building enclosures or screwing with the interior. Can some one tell me what size all the current stock speakers in a JDM Series 2 LWB would be and am I right in saying there are just 4 speakers to replace ( 2 either side of the boot space and 2 more in the door cards) or are there some more tucked away somewhere?? Any info would be greatly received - especially if anyone knows the…

Hi everyone, as the title suggests I have a little problem with my indicators and kerb lights. Any help is very much appreciated! I have a Series 2 Jap import with fogs and sidelights at the front, and indicators and kerb lights on the corners. I have fitted a 6500K HID kit and have been upgrading the rest of my bulbs in order to update the look of the car. I've gone for LED sidelights and side repeaters, and Xenon bulbs for the main beam and fog lights. I've also decided remove the orange balloon thing (couldn't think of the word) and fit LED bulbs in my indicators and kerb lights,. and this is where the problem is... The indicators flash too fast, which w…

... As per the title... Did this today with my old lower plenum as a test.. If your EGR has been deleted - why keep the bracket as it the bracket that prevents you getting access to the Knock Sensor! I forgot to take a 'befor' picture but this is the lower plenum mocked up with the bracket positioned approx before it is removed. Its upside down in that pick which also does not help - but here is the pic with the bracket deleted. And now the right way up... And back on the engine... Hope that helps - what do you guys think? Worthwhile or not? Andy :headvswal:rolleyes:

Hi all, The Z absolutly flies......sometimes, then it don't quite fly for a while. I make a few adjustments to the EBC, then end up back where I started, and it flies for a couple of days. I'm thinking get rid of the EBC and go manual valve. Do you reckon this is a good idea, or am I being a muppet. Cheers

Has anyone got any idea where i can get one from? they seem to be as common as jesus walking amoung us!

Had an aftermarket rear spoiler, could not see much else but you were filling up in the service station mine was parked just out of sight next to the Little Chef.

I have been busy listing my parts in the for sale section. Please note that some of the parts are still on the car and i do have allot of interest in the parts. So i have taken a few Thursdays and Fridays to take parts off and prepare for postage so please bare with me. Some of the bigger parts are sold as On Nearest Offer. But please bare in mind i do have allot of interest so i will not accept silly offers. Most my parts are brand spanking new, or only 1000 road miles old. I have stated which are which. Because of that my prices are not silly low prices as they are not old and abused parts, everything should be in A1 mint condition or other wise…
