  1. K&N Panel Filter: £25 + Postage (£50 New, has lifetime warranty and is washable.) Looks a little grubby but it's just off the air filter oil from the cleaning kits you can get. - MTEC Clutch Spring: £15 + Postage (£33 @ Tuning Developments) Spotless. Used for 6k miles. Clutch Spring makes your clutch a bit heavier and makes it nicer to find the bite point. I found that I had smoother shifts/downshifts whilst driving a bit more spiritedly. - Whiteline Bush (KDT926): £20 + Postage (£40 @ Fensport) Also looks a little grubby, just off the grease needed to insert the bushing. Fantastic condition still, only used for ~1-2k miles/2 months. Whiteline Bush fills the void in the standard gearbox mount. For me it got rid of the issues with not being able to get into 2nd gear when the gearbox is cold, especially in colder weather. Also gets rid of some movement of the gearbox when going over some slight bumps Can collect from Durham if you wish.
  2. Anyone got a Whiteline KDT926 Gearbox Bush Insert they want rid of before I buy a new one?

    Got hit by a van

    If they do write it off, never accept the value they initially give you, find examples on autotrader etc of the same spec/mileage/year and say this is how much it's actually worth, generally they will undercut you just to save some pennies on their part and will budge if you refuse and demand more providing you have examples. Having a witness will certainly make it easier to claim. Do you have legal cover on your insurance policy? Also, in every communication make 100% sure you don't reference anything in regards to you potentially being at fault. Always state "Non-Fault Claim" rather than "accident claim" just in case.
  4. Potentially got one now, thanks guys! Will post back if no luck, although unlikely.
  5. Wrong place sorry! Can someone move to Wanted section please?
  6. Definitely can't imagine it'll have much left on that! You've got some good clutch control to make it last 125k no doubt! 😂
  7. Let us know how it goes! Keen to get mine through Macclesfield as early as possible, I don't want to be hanging around waiting for ages otherwise I'm going to have to service before the recall and it's just a waste of money, rather than get it done at the same time.
  8. Hey, Selling a red OEM Gear Knob that's been lying around for the past 6 months, I swapped it out from my 2013 GT86 as I preferred an all black interior, has done 32k miles in the car. Good Condition, no deep marks or anything, just has the wear you can expect from using for 32k miles. Slight wear around the top of the leather although not really noticeable in the car.

  9. Bump - Price reduced: £25 + £5 Postage

  12. I just asked on the forums in the Wanted Parts section Someone will likely have one! Breakers on ebay/the internet are generally a good shout too!

    Electronic parts catalogue

    Just for reference here's a service manual should you ever need it It's for the FRS so Audio may be slightly different and obviously it's LHD instead of RHD but it's the closest publicly available https://demos.starbase7.net/t3Portal/resources/jsp/siviewer/Scion_FR-S_2013_rm_index.html

    JDM indicator swap

    I think it'd be difficult to bend them without distorting the plastic/snapping them - Your best bet in finding out would be disassembling them yourself or order a set off ebay to experiment with, that way if it goes wrong you're only £40 down (based off the 2nd hand set on eBay currently) and your car still has some wiper/indicator stalks in place.

    JDM indicator swap

    I think you're going to have a tough time swapping the wipers and indicators to the other sides. May not even be able to do it without some custom wiring? https://howtune.com/articles/351-replace-the-wiper-or-light-stalk-on-a-scion-fr-s-subaru-brz-gt-86 You can see in this article the wiring clips are slightly different, presumably due to the different wiring they need. I'd imagine you'll need a whole clock spring setup from a JDM spec car.

    Insurance Advice

    Sounds almost exactly like my scenario. I'm 18, work in IT and have 1 Years NCB. 19 in October. I've just managed to bag a quote with GoSkippy for £1940 No Blackbox, 10k Miles, £250 voluntary excess + Business Use My tip would be do quotes for a date 20-25 days in advance, do them daily and try it with both named drivers, only 1 and without. My voluntary is £250. Also, set your occupation to Computer Engineer in Information Technology if you're not using that already.
  20. Hi All, I'm looking for an OEM Gearknob, Handbrake Lever, and Steering Wheel in black (Don't need airbag). (Getting rid of the red trim pieces) Has anyone got any of these in good condition? If close to Durham can swap around the first week of August. Cheers, Olly
