Ebay Bargain- feeling smug!

I had a bid on some Aero's that were wrongly described as being for an MR2 last week- only three wheels available and stated as collection only.

Seller relisted a fter not selling the first time round so I'd asked if he was happy with arranging my own courier.

Anyway, cut to today when they've just been delivered.

I didnt get my 3 wheels, but actually 4- so a great bonus as I've already sourced a 5th (or 4th!).

They need a refurb and 2 of the tyres arent great, but the other 2 have over 5mm of tread.

Anyway, the cost??

£80, plus £27 for the courier.

Not too shabby at all......

Some kn0b has nicked one of my OZ wheel caps :angry:. Priced up a replacement and it is £13 hock:. The wheel doesn't look too bad without it, so i'm just going to take the other 3 off........

Happy Birthday Gord

Best place to buy general electrical gubbins?

by Stoney, 18-08-2019, 10:57 AM

Over the next few months I will be embarking on many electrical related mods. I will have to buy all sorts of oddments (relays, solder, heat shrink, wire, connector blocks, fuses, diodes etc.) I am not very experienced at this kind of thing, but understand most of the theory, and am willing to give (almost) anything a bash!

There is the obvious Maplins, and I am very experienced in the use of ebay! I have a CPC account, and can also order through a friend, (in order to make up the value for free delivery!)

I know none of these items are exactly expensive, but sometimes every penny counts! Also choice of selection and speed/cost of delivery can be factors sometimes.

I expect the likes of Rabs and Stav, as well as others, get through a lot of these things? Or do you just "source" them from work? :lol:

Where can anyone recommend shopping?


EDIT: Maybe I should have put this in the "General Discussions - Car Audio/Video/Electronics/Security" section? D'oh! Mods please move and delete this line if you feel appropriate.

In-car USB Hub

by newdriftking, 18-08-2019, 09:05 AM

Hi Guys,

I'm after installing a 4-port USB hub, but don't want a cigarette lighter powered one.

Does anyone have the technical savvy to suggest ways to power it (ie direct from car battery)?

Cheers
Paul.
