Just had a quick squint over the 1st 2or3 posts in here! If u were any good at all at 'drifting like a maniac' it wouldnt matter if the handbrake was in the passengers footwell because u wouldnt use it.. Ud fit a hydraulic handbrake which does the job much better and u could fit it as close to ur little arms as u wanted! Dave

Im due for renewal in 3weeks, this is going to be my 3rd year driving my car (Altezza) 1st insured it in my own name fully comp in 2007 for around £850-900 :) Not bad considering ALL mods were declared and i was 21 with 2yrs My renewal last year cost me £526 fully comp, just me on the policy, hopefully this year i can save a few bob too

Tony can u PM me some prices and locations please? Basically im looking to have all my geometry set up, my front tyres have wear on the insides, iv just replaced the rears, i drive an Altezza on coilovers if that makes any diffrence, im waaay up in Scotland so im in for a bit of a drive lol

It was the boy Ray who mustve had it when i seen it coz the name rings a bell, i popped into the garage i seen it outside in edinburgh when i was looking for a seal for mines, was a nice chap, car looked ace too.. i like the smoked lights on the bootlid

Where are u from mate, that car looks very similar to one iv seen a few times in edinburgh

Looks good mate, i like the sat nav option, a future buy for me i think to get rid of my jap nav as its no use. Even ur pedals are shiney B) Keep it up

Thats crazy, im insured with Flux

Cheers guys, means my drive to alton towers in a few weeks wont be boring as i can watch movies on the way when im no driving :winky:

My renewal last year was £515, im 23, 4yrs NCB driving a Tezza Fully Comp, re-newals due in sept

Wheres a good place to source one of these and are they easy enough to DIY

My factory unit showed me Error 3 earlier in the year and i was fed up with the radio, i wanted to listen to my own rubbish. I was pretty set on wantning a 7" touchscreen dvd player but prices were high for a good one. I seen a member on here was selling his install, headunit, wiring harness and fascia so i jumped at it. All i wanted was the headunit, fascia and wiring harness. When i took my old unit out and tried to fit the new unit i was well confused as from my stock headunit i had 3 connectors sticking out, yet from my new unit i had just 1 big plug and a whole length of wire. After much headscratching i sifted through the forums from posts way back and eventually i found what i was looking for, help on bypassing the Amp in my car, after a bit of revision it made sense as the amount of wire i had was way to long to stuff behind the headunit, it actually went behind/under the glovebox to the amp... after disconnecting the larger plug from the amp i plugged in the headunit and everything worked but the sound, turns out the wires for the speakers werent there as the previous owner had a custom install in, a trip to TRIX in dunfermline and a few bits of wire later i managed to get it all working and built back up nicely :) I was worried about the sound as some people have apparently killed standard speakers or had sound distortion, however im impressed as mines sounds spot on B) Heres a pic from my phone of what it looks like now, overall im impressed with the unit and the sound is awesome, can also watch dvds and is iPod and USB compatible, at some point i'll probs get a tv reciever box thingy hooked up aswell, it can also take a reversing camera but i might hook one up on the front somewhere to capture some drift footage :D

Sounds good, tell me what you've got, what it does and what it costs :) Where does it plug into? PM me if u like.

Iv just installed a Pioneer headunit in my Tez using an amp bypass cable, my sat nav opens and closes but the screen doesnt work now, my sat nav is in japanese so i dnt care about that but i had a HKS CAMP system tht was displayed on the sat nav screen... Would be sweet if i could get it back Redz..? Thanks Dave

Cars should be like women...Smooth ;) Off with the lot id say :)

What do u clean/polish ur car with....im loving tht photo B)

LOL @ thread revival...does anyone know where i can get a lead for an Altezza, iv tried a lexus one that came with the dvd/cd player i bought but its diffrent, also bought an Autoleads Toyota one (i think the part num was pc2714 or something) ill check when i get home...but this doesnt work either :( My Cd player is the one that has a minidisk player at the top, cd player at bottom and a tv/jap-nav....hopefully someone can help me.

Looks and sounds good mate...and DAMN ur cars shiney :D

I always put mines of when i start driving, its just habit...I dnt the sudden jolt when it kicks in and slows u down

Ahh my bad, i just saw tht they were circular and i got excited lol

Will the circular LED foglights fit the legana bumper do u know and do they come with the brackets etc for fitting?

Hmm, can u get other TRD parts for good prices :winky:

Thats pretty fricken awesome looking dude, Fancy polishing mines one weekend B) Have u noticed a difference with the stabilizer kit fitted?

Thats an impressive transformation of a ttly stock car in a year A pat on the back for you my friend B) lol P.S..Iv got TRD anti roll bars too but mines are blue, whats the diff? Im guessing one of us is stiffer than the other

Iv stopped drifting the Tez for now, got an omega to crash :) Altezza needs lower ball joints on both sides just now...i fancy harder/stronger bushes all round but spending is on hold for a long time! I had the car into a garage getting it looked at last thurs, it was all stripped and cleaned then put back together, also had all the wiring checked right back all the way to the ecu but eveything is fine, other than the sensor.. Since then its been a bit better but still dies for a second or 2 when it takes a bump on these lovely roads How expensive are new sensors for it? Someone said to me around £120 but did say it was a wild guess?

Car runs absoloutley fine though, just wants to die at times when it takes a bump, timing is spot on..The code i got from the diagnostics related to "crankshaft position sensor"?
