Contacted via eBay to the seller who sold the sai delete plate as it still hasn't turned up...should of popped to jabba and see if they had one. Once I get that I'm going to delete the aircon also with a stock belt from euro £9. Never use aircon so may as well get it out and sai has the standard issues.

Did the door seal on the front driver door today. Not much fun when it's raining down. Will have to try and get the floor dry now.

Is it easy to get the carpet up enough to help get air circulating underneath to speed up the drying?

Also, when putting it back together, I noticed on the door carrier, at the far end of the loom, it branches into 3 connectors, one for the door lock, one for the puddle light, and another one that seems to be unused on my car (unless I forgot something major). What's that connector used for?

Door lock, puddle light, anti-theft LED, woofer, tweeter, electric window motor, and electric window switch

Need to raise some funds to fix the turbo and give the car some tlc.

Just selling the new wheels/tyres I bought and the Recaro interior.

Sad to hear. What turbo do you have? And How much for the interior and wheels? Pic's up mate as maybe one of us on here wants them

It's a K03 turbo, oil seals have gone, but it could do with a full rebuild or new cartridge.

I've put for sale threads up for both wheels and tyres.

Wheels are Team Dynamic Pro-race 1.2s in black 18x8's with Toyo T1R rubber, seen about 14 miles on the road in total.. £600 asking.

Recaro I'm reluctant to get rid of as it's so good, but have it up for £190 I think, which is high.... but would take offers.

Where are you in the UK, I'm after some nice front seats again. Standard bora ones I put in are light but uncomfortable

For a laugh I should of said yes...and tuned up in a transit van haha.

******* bus has hit my car & scraped down the front driver's side, & dented in wheel arch. Bus actually admitted liability & witnesses but hoping my boy doesn't get written off :cry:
A bus?? Damn that's a solid claim right there for back pain/whip lash/loss of work ect ect ect. No bus company in there right mind would take it to court. 2/3k right there.
As for the car...two panels + paint for an over ten year old car, not looking good for the car, if they do, buy it back and invest the 2/3k fixing/making better.
