Has anybody used these? Or local to them in Thirsk, York?
I have some parts with them and getting no response over the last 2 weeks, getting concerned now.
Thanks
Neil

I'm booked up for Blyton in the MR2 :-)

I cant make Woodbridge Mike so that will be my dropped round for the year :-)

Great to see everyone this weekend
Right, I've signed up for the rest of the season, with the exception of the next meeting at Blyton.
Now I've got to find a new racesuit with a target on the back!

The days I think yes are beginning to outweigh the days I think no. But still not enough yes days!

I also had the pleasure of this last week :-) many thanks Richard!
As you say the noise from the intake and exhaust combination is fantastic and just come alive at the top end.
Unbelievable how much more attention the spoiler brings when driving around!
Also some people in trouble at work for saying they preferred this one!

Forgot about this little mod from last summer as well....
I bought the kit direct from China, so had to recruit Mark to help mod the voltage droppper to stop the image being blurry!
IIRC one of these resistors needed removing...
took Mark all of 30 seconds, but was an excellent excuse for a BBQ!
and all installed....

Yeah it was a big decision, but I have always wished the interior could have been a bit better from the factory.
At least I get to do it my way now though!
Figured I spend more time in the car than looking at it from the outside so why not start there on this one!
Leaving the performance side until next year as I'm focusing on the MR2 for that side this year!

haha! with the weekend being the only time i am getting on the drive, all sunlight hours are spent digging trenches in clay to try and sort my flooding issues (living next to a field doesnt help!) My hoover would drown outside at the moment!
Only a few more weeks until we have light evenings back!

I had also bought the TRD boot set to continue the red stripe theme!
Also black buttons (aka poverty spec for Lauren!) as all silver is now being removed!
From this
to this
The TRD surround is pressed, bushed aluminium and sits over the original panel. Fit is very good, but does not (and would struggle to) go around the buttons, so there is very small (maybe 2mm) area around the buttons where you can still see the silver. As such i haven't taped this in place yet. Need to trial red or black for this bit before committing!
And finally to this...
Very pleased!! (and yes the car needs cleaning - I'm resurfacing my drive so everything is filthy at the moment!

Next up was the interior. I spent quite a while looking at different options, including some carbon covers i could get quite cheaply whilst in China, however i kept going back to the Baruta panels in had seen from Japan. In the end decided i wouldnt be happy with anything else so went for these...
These are absolute faultless quality, and come as replacement panels, so no messing around having to stick on. They are difficult to photo without over exposing the red! in reality a very deep and rich red!
Parts ordered were -
Dials surround
This was fiddly to install, as the leatherette from the steering column is clipped onto it using the 4 clips you can see at the bottom.
Centre panel and Stereo surround
Vent surrounds
Side panels
These were simple to install once i had established you need to remove the centre console! These are the only panels in the car with a alacantra finish, and was worried they would look out of place, but Baruta did not do a carbon and red stripe version!

My first mod on the carwas to fit the TRD aero fins and rear side spoilers.....
Original panels removed
And installed
Rear fins
and then installed

After almost months of ownership, and a few more mods starting to sneak in, thought I best start a project thread.....
So for those who joined here in the last year, i bough the car off Rich, and it was the RRG demo, and it came with a good few mods already on it....
Mods already on the car....
TRD Spolier and JP exhausts quad pipe back box with secondary decat, overpipe and supersprint centre
TRD front Strut brace and underbody brace set
TRD door braces
TRD Push Start

Ah okay Jamie, this could be valuable.
Do you know him personally or was he working on something for you?
I may need other ways to contact him as not getting anything back however I try and contact.
Could you give him a nudge to reply to me if possible please
