Milton Keynes Museum Transport Day

by toxo, 07-08-2020, 12:30 PM

I took the Sunny along to this as something to do on a Sunday. It qualified for Class C in the concours presentation which was 1950-1992. I dragged a friend along with a MK1 MR2 as well, but I'll be honest they were out of place and outclassed! It was mostly old British stuff...





















This old Renault was very odd, it was front engined and front wheel drive, but the engine was inline with the gearbox IN FRONT of it...











These next 2 photos are of a MK3 Capri:





Impressive!!

I've been tasked with sorting out this stuff for my sisters place up north and having been with virgin media for so long I have no idea what to do (annoyingly the area isn't cabled)

Who's the best phone/BB provider that's decent but not too expensive? Don't need lightning speeds, just a solid, reliable connection with unlimited downloads at a reasonable price.

Also looking for a freeview HD PVR - any recommendations?

Happy birthday Chris

Lexus Is200 SE Project

by Ste176, 06-08-2020, 06:22 PM

Evening all, I've been on here a while but havent had a chance to get a build thread going, so here goes...
I came from VAG and after owning a Cupra, it was time i scratched my Jap icth.

With no further ado, my new motor:









Picked it up at a garage in Blackburn, full Lexus service history and all paperwork in order so im happy

The initial Plans:

-TRD Side skirts and rear skirt
-TTE Front Bumper
-Boot Lip Spoiler
-Tein Coilovers
-Buddy club back box with custom exhaust to delete the cats.
-New wheels (who knows what yet) maybe Blitz or Rotas
-Drilled and grooved discs with EBC pads
-Calipers painted
-Greddy Emanage ECU
-Engine bay niceness with new nuts and bolts and a grille panel plate thing
-Wind Deflectors form the USofA
-New Head Unit, most likely Alpine

Recently i started modifying, just the little things but you have to start somewhere...

Started with swapping out the Indicator lenses:



Debadged and Stix44's IS200 in the back:



Then put in a Sports Grille:



Then it was time to paint the Front lights black. I looked up the process and gave myself a day to do it! turned out it was an easy enough job to do, and was happy with the end results! Also did the front fogs but no pics as it was the same process.



Used 1200 fine grade then 2 coats of primer, another light sanding then 2 coats of gloss black paint...

Finished article (sorry for instagram)



And back on the car:



Then I removed the Clocks and changed the orange bulbs for some white ones:





finished article (again sorry for instagram)



oh and my TRD Side skirts turned up the other day:



And as of today i have my coilovers on order, ive gone for HSD ones from Driftworks and my TRD Front lip from Lexus Newcastle.
Updates and more pics to follow

Thanks for reading

Any help on retrimming headrests?

by Saraj, 06-08-2020, 04:29 PM

Hi guys, i am about to buy some dvd headrests of ebay for aprox £130.

But as these come with leather cover, rather then the cloth interior i have in my qashqai, does anyone know any decent companies who could do it for me? I am willing to travel.

I have tried and tried to find someone local but no one would do it, apart from one company who would want to do the whole system for 995 ! but wont retrim the headrests for a charge on there own?!

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I cant even find anyone who sell vehicle cloth material !?

Had a go myself at detailing my Evo (Lots of Pics)!!!

by Anees, 05-08-2020, 06:25 PM

Hi guys,

My car had been at TRL for quite a while so I decided that when I got chance I wanted to do a proper detail of it. The car was cleaned for me before I collected but I wanted to go much further.

I was actually inspired when I saw Matt@TRLs Evo 10 being detailed at TRL. I have been into detailing on and off for years but I've never really had the chance to really do a proper job until now. I have have a garage so can spread the work out over a few days.

Before I started:
