    Put the 7er through the NCT today and was pleasantly surprised. It didn't pass, nor was I expecting it to but the to do list isn't as long as I expected.

    Failed on:

    ABS Sensor - which I already have ordered
    Engine Oil leak
    Idler Arm / Slip Test
    Reg Plates - didn't bother changing them as I didn't expect it to pass.

    Not to bad overall - time for pints now methinks! :)

    engine oil leak? i guess between engine and gearbox?

    So ... Wtf is happening with all jap stuff?

    I am trying to find some r32 skylines but there's feck all skylines in there in the first place.
    Then s14 became very rare too. S15 have a price tag as big as they did 3 years ago...
    Will we see soon jap imports go in price soon and become twincams? It's already hard to find good ones out there!

    Buy the GTR I posted a while ago. :)
    I've been keeping track of 180sx's, finding a clean one is difficult now, never mind in a few years when I'll be buying one.

    I'd stay importing is the way to go for old Jap stuff.
    There's a good site I have liked on Facebook that I'll post later. I'm on my phone now so I can't.

    Titan works it is called or something? His name is Tom, he imports stuff for lads and has a very good name on dtdirl. If I will need to buy jap import like this, then it looks like a lot of hassle :(. Will need to get ecu and remap ASAP. Import duties and vrt etc.

    There's very little stuff coming in from Japan at the moment AFAIK, all to do with radiation.

    Lets go back about 1 month, I had a crash, I hit a wet patch on a turn in the road and the car slid sideways, The front bumper got cought on a stone on the wall. It needs a new front bumper as its cracked in 3 places. Back to today I was going to go up to mayo to the scrapyard to get a bumper. My dad used the car this morning as the jeep that does be used for faming had a flat battery. So he took the car way to the farm and brought it back to the house with a craked headlight and the bonnet dented. It turned out that he parked it to close to the gate and the cow kicked the gate, the gate then hit the car. :mad: So now it needs a bonnet, 1 front headlight and a front bumper. I cant go for the driving test until these things are sorted...:mad:

    A bonnet, head lamp and bumper shouldn't be hard to find for a Yaris.
    If you can for them yourself, even in a different colour for now, you'll be fine. :)
