nah belts and filters are nothing special. any autoshop will have them

so it got its rwc. drove it home and put it in the garage, will give it a wash and a better look over tomorrow.
 
took some quick pics, first question... what fuel should i be running?
 
second question, is this button stock? i think it might be a car alarm?

 
and yeah, i might grab that centre console off you, can you PM me the details ect. and it came with the owners manual and warranty book woo. more pics to follow over the weekend. just glad to have it in my hands now. also needs a new radiator soonish, are the ones on ebay okay? or not reccomended? radio's not working as far as i can tell... is it stock?


 
gave it a good hand wash, noticed a few things, quick vac inside as well. 
 

these are the wheels that came with it... definitely looking for stock ones when i get enough funds. not in a hurry really.

this is the radio... is it stock? manual doesn't seem to show it. figured out that button in my previous post is for the antenna... just left of the middle of the steering wheel you can see it, with a red light next to it... is that stock? or what?

check out my awesome grill...... haha... stock one arrived, will put that on asap!

can you buy more of these? or only second hand? missing two to put my rear visor on.
 
is anyone able to tell me what that key is with the M on it? doesn't seem to work with the doors or boot. i don't think it works on the ignition (i think that was the key i first tried)



 
 
 
 
 

Nice looking car.  You are in for a treat and just a few challenges.
 
I think most of us run 98 octane to get the best from the cars.
The switch you refer to looks like an aftermarket alarm/seurity system.
Check the blogs about the eBay radiators.  I understand that they are okay and fit nicely but some do not have the tube for bleeding the system after a coolant change which can be a PITA.
Cassette radio looks stock.  It was a Phillips system.  I tried to resurrect mine but couldn't get the parts need to make the cassette player work again.  I opted for a Nakamichi cassette player which looks the part and plays well.  The original system had an automatic antenna.
The key looks like a security key for an after market steering wheel lock.  I think you will find it is a W not an M.  The key is useless without the steering lock which were a hazard in the cabin anyway.
 
I look forward to more posts.
 
Cheers

feared as much, well the antenna is no longer auto, as thats what the switch does. the car has remote locking and such, i think this came with the security system? might look at getting another 80's radio... but then i'd have to get all the electrics done (and a new dash panel, argh) to make it all stockish again... mmm
 
also, all of a sudden, the bonnet as stopped "popping" up after i pull the release mech, i think the cable has stretched somehow... any easy way of tightening it or do i have to pull it apart in the frunk area?

the bolts that hold the clear visor are different to the bolts on the c pillar trims.

it appears my c pillar trims are stuffed, both sides are missing multiple of the inside part that the bolts screw into. will look at getting some second hands ones with the parts still there! found new c pillar trims on tworus... not cheap!
 
wiso, can you buy the clear visor bolts anywhere or looking at getting them second hand?
 

maybe you can get them off a wreck. or maybe toyota?

good luck with c pillar trims. almost everyones set is stuffed. and the ones that are good nobody will sell. i had a good set spare but put them on the car i am selling. if they are not cracked through on the outside you can sikaflex nuts to the inside of them.

mm thats a goo idea.... yeah the outside is good, just the inside is stuffed.

If you are interested I can upload a photo of my system.  It did not require new electris or a new dash panel and I think it looks the part.  Also fitted a new, good quality, automatic antenna so it all operates as original with the added advantage that I can connect an ipod if I want to.
 
Regarding the C Pillars, you can get clips from Xbox Engineering in Canada which reuses your current C Pillars.  It all depends what condition they are in

the outside is in good condition, just the inside parts where the bolts connect are stuffed.... xbox engineering you say? i'll have a look now cheers!
 
edit:  after googling xbox engineering, all i got was the game console... got a link?
