That'll be because they are hosted on Facebook and I imagine you and SG are Facebook friends and the privacy on the uploads has changed to friends only.

I can't see them either even though we're friends on it, does Facebook have a bandwidth limit on photos maybe?

That's weird then. I guess that proves that Facebook is not very reliable for picture sharing.

Likewise, we're friends and I'm logged in but I can't see them.

We have a special connection my sg and I . . .

Haven't washed this in well over a month. Don't know why I did either as I have a hectic weekend of driving ahead.

On the other hand, I'm only after realising that I need new bulbs in two of the rear lights

Also, if anyone could recommend a decent tar remover and an alloy cleaner then it would be much appreciated!

That Vento and 19 are class lads! Keep them looking factory!

I do, and yes I am going to do a front end converstion if that's what you're wondering. :P

colm_mcm

To both cars?

Is the vento just s donor car?

GvidoR

Vento is just a donor. I didn't know how to reply to Foxhole's comment... it's not going to stay very factory unfortunately, but then again it looks better in that picture than it does in real life, with some rust and scuffs.

So, you're saying it won't be kept factory :pac:

Duke O Smiley

The 19 will be standard of course and it'll go with the others but with the exception of a few very nerdy and very unnecessary factory extras added on; fogs, steering wheel controls, electric windows and speaker door cards (factory obviously) and a few other bits

How much megane mk1 stuff is interchangeable I wonder?

Renault used to call those remote controls "satellite controlled" radios IIRC

The 19 used the ej7 1.4 but the Megane started using the k7j, you can make some Megane bits go onto the 19 though but I haven't really thought about it much

I need to find a radio from a car that had the wheel remote controls to make this work so it's on the future list of things to do, the one in mine won't do, poverty spec yoke.

I got these yokes for the door cards too, they're door pockets with the speakers, the cards themselves don't have speakers and mine doesn't even have these door pockets



Also still has the original fascia that covers the radio which is maaad rare and has literally made the car worth buying

Are you thinking CD player or wanna keep it factory looking?
Think the later Renault stereos had external LED displays, so your options would probably be limited

Ah no I wanna keep it original as possible. I don't really listen to cds anyway so it won't be a mad loss in the name of something stupidly insignificant.

I got the unit itself and the column it bolts/slides on to for a tenner so I couldn't not buy it, just gotta find the correct radio which I'll get on ebay one of the days. The wheel surround will have to be modified too but the other cars have this set up so it shouldn't be any bother getting that right

New lights installed.

after

Where/how do you buy your stuff from Japan. I suppose I'm unlikely to find any WRX/STI bargains before anyone else but it's interesting to have look.

Vicxas

Those new lights are lovely.


Also, that black and white paint job on the Levin is stunning. Looks really well.

I usually start with Yahoo auctions, used google translate and translate for example 'toyota Chaser tail lights', then copy and past. You can also look at upGarage: http://www.upgarage.com/cartype/detail.php?maker=06&shashu=067

That link is for your STI/WRX, you find the item you want, copy the address and post it to the guy you want to use to buy it and post it to you. In the case of the lights it was Jesse Streeter jesse@jessestreeter.com who is very well known. Give him a shout and ask how much he thinks an item will cost to get sent to you, I think his fee is about 20 to 30 Euro.

WD40 is great for tar removal and cleaning alloys
