would need to sell the Yaris and the Vibe first
And?? Go on....you know you wanna!!
Theres nowt wrong with the K10 gearbox......well, mine is noisy, but its been like that for the 2 years I've owned the car
Due to a number of factors such as weather, gritters and general laziness on my part, my wheels were starting to look rather sad
Thought I had better give them a bit of TLC
Will hopefully be doing a full refurb or even a complete change, at a later date and am open to ideas
Looking a bit better
Is it weird that I like the look of clean wheels on a dirty car??

Had same problem with my old superlights.
Looks good tho
Didn't have the knowledge or a ramp to try it myself, so I'll wait and see how it goes

My facelift has the the wiring for front fog lights taped to the loom. No idea if earlier cars were the same, worth checking. I'm with Frank, foglights are all show.

Seen this last year before Liam Doran was due to use it for the pikes peak hillclimb, an amazing piece of kit, his father ended up running in the event due to rallycross dates conflicting with the hillclimb
markbognor is no help - he hasn't bothered wiring his up - it's o that list of jobs I might get round to doing one day. I'll be fitting a relay that is independent from the main loom and using an extra rear fog lamp switch in the unused space on the dash - well that's the plan anyway!

Masked
sprayed red
Lettering filed clear after drying
masked again for white fill in
bit messy but not bad first go (tried to touch up the edges a little but the spattering made it worse so i gave up) also lacquered it to stop the letters corroding and getting dull
marked up the sprockets etc and changed the cams (sorry theres not many pics i mainly took odd looking ones for reference)
Reassembled it all with the new cover on I'll have a second go at cover spraying when i do the rebuild (that being whenever i get round to it and have time) but til then i think it looks ok!
Edit: just a note the oil all down the side is from a bad seal on the old cover, hopefully this one will do a better job!
