    Dare I ask whether there's any appetite to merge with the "other" forum? (Apologies if there's history that I'm unaware of).

     

    That ship sailed when the other forum was sold on to be fair. We did want a merge, it's now impossible without selling this to the same company (which is american). We kept the forum here owned by enthusiasts and always intend it to be in the future if it exists because that way there's a vested interest and it won't get clogged up with shitty sponsored adds for dildos etc.


  2. This really was a massive shock to me, i've known Jordan since I got my very first car and he's always been a great guy. It's taken until now for the shock to leave my system in all honesty. Knew he had been having a tough time but with how upbeat he always was always dishing out the banter I wouldn't in a million years think i'd be sitting here writing this...

    Today has reduced me to tears as he really was one of the nicest guys i've met, thoughts are with Michelle and family.

    Lets hope they successfully finish his V8 project off, he put so much time and effort in to it and never gave up despite all the set backs.

    Are these still available?

    Stopped making them due to interest dying down. Need a minimum of 25 really to make it viable due to setup of the screen (current one would have expired)

    Currently only embroidered ones available as they can be produced as and when with no setup cost.

    Wow that's a lot of money for a very mundane car.

    To put that in perspective with the help of car wow I paid a similar amount for a cupra ateca.

    A whole lot more tech and performance for the same money

    You could also use carwow to get a load off the corolla. I managed to get the touring sports with the JBL speakers and Pano roof for near enough £29k

    As @vanko25 said, it turned out to be a thin rod engine rather than the thick rod version which is what it was sold to me as. They even swapped the fuel rails over to the earlier version which is how you tell the difference, so a full deception plan to lie to me.

    Another lesson learned I guess. 

    Do you know they swapped the fuel rails over? Or maybe the person that sold you it assumed it was an earlier engine because of said fuel rails.

    Had the realisation yesterday, whilst halfway onto a trailer, that in less than two and half years of ownership this less than 5 year old car has had two recalls (now three), both windows and workings replaced, a wheel bearing and all four wheels all under warranty - do i really want to be relying on it when i can no longer hold Toyota responsible? They’re great to drive and fantastic fun, but...

    Bound to be a few bad eggs in a mass produced car. You've clearly been unfortunate, but I wouldn't be concerned. It's why the warranty is there, thank yourself these things have been resolved during a warranty period and not found out after.

    I went through 4 ignition coils until I put gold heat reflective tape over them. Haven't had a failure since... (Probably get one next trackdays now)

    I had this done when i replaced mine and didn't have an issue after that. Reflective tape is the easiest thing to do and its cheap.

    It turns a little bit, but then feels like nothing happens and if you keep trying to turn eventually it will turn. It is very odd though. 

    If the mechanism is connected yeah, in my case I broke the key and the lock barrel :lol: Toyota replaced as a "gesture of goodwill" like they were implying I took the car apart and didn't put the mechanism back together properly. Cheek of em!
