They are indeed, waste of money now though as I was sat here with a bid waiting to press enter, refreshed the page one last time and my ******* computer froze! Missed out on getting the wheels by literally seconds

I discovered that despite my best efforts with the 3M tape, the back end of my TRD skirts has come away from the body...

So I had a little workshop session and made myself some 'Ormi Clips' named as such because he did a little DIY when he made his.
First thing was to cut the correct shape out of some 3mm Aluminium out of the scrap bin...

I then marked and drilled a 6.5mm hole in each one...

Leaving me with these...

I then realised that the inside surface behind the arch lip isn't actually flat, so I put a fold in each one so it still sits flat where the screws go through...

And my nice shiny clips ready to be fitted...

I haven't put them on yet, but once they are on they should hold the skirts nice and flush like this...

I've decided to do a few smaller jobs for now, so I've just bought myself an electronic exhaust control valve so I can make the car a bit quieter for 'normal' driving, and then open it up for tunnel runs or if I just want to make a bit of noise
I'll get my local powerflow to shorten the midpipe to allow for the thickness of the ECV, but I'll also get them to shorten it a bit more just so the tip doesn't stick out quite as much, as the Greddy Ti-C I've got is designed for the deeper USDM bumpers.
Here's a video of what I've bought...

hmm, id be careful with the electronic ones, their not that relaible.
Phil bought one for the firebird and had an issue with it i believe. Thats why i went for the manual apexi one.

Awh don't say things like that I've got 2 going in the RX!

I've not really heard anything about them tbh, but they look solidly built. And for £100 with 1 year warranty I can just send it back if it breaks.
cheers for the pm btw Stav. Sent from my Xperia S using Tapatalk 2

Couple of packages arrived today
First up was my Clifford 507M Tilt/Vibration Sensor...

And also my electronic exhaust control valve...
It's much chunkier that I expected, and comes with a pair of gaskets and some nice thick stainless flanges to weld onto your pipes after you chop out a section for the ECV, including the flanges it weighs 1.2kg!

And here's a video I took when I tested it earlier...
