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.

I woke up to 22 reports this morning! 😂Don't worry I've banned them.

I bought a £25 item and paid £25 for shipping then paid another £25 for import duty so it’s karma for that scam😂 (the MTEC clutch spring) oh and thanks for the re assurance !

If you plug straight in I think you get what you are after generally to get the v to light up with side lights alterations are needed but no photos as mine is wired up for three functions

I'm currently in the process of doing this my self, currently only have some CCF and a little sound deadening mat. Nothing rattles now but road noise is unbearable, so im going to put in MLV in under the carpet and door cards in the summer when its warmer. Here are some good links I've been using, might as well save you the time: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=53511 https://www.flickr.com/photos/86194869@N08/sets/72157633425405068/with/8711031372/ https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35604 materials: https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/acoustic-insulation/8814557/ https://www.carinsulation.co.uk/product/car-heavy-layer-insulation-3mm-5kg-car-heavy-layer-deadening-5m-roll https://www.amazon.co.uk/Yaheetech-Proofing-Deadening-Insulation-Adhesive/dp/B01MDUB6T6/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1PRW4Y2I9IIF8&dchild=1&keywords=closed+cell+foam&qid=1610298378&sprefix=closed+cel%2Caps%2C170&sr=8-7 These aren't the cheapest materials so do look around but they'll give you a feel. In sort different materials block different wave length of sound (vibrations, road noise, wind noise all have different wave lengths) there is no one material fits all unfortunately. The forums I linked above do a good job of explaining what materials should be used where. Do note that they will add weight, MLV will add the most mass by a mile but it the best a blocking road noise and worth it to stop my ears from bleeding. Also I have the focal speaker package, Kenwood head unit as well as some better 3 1/2 inch speakers in the rear, great sound and more powerful but they cause my door cards to vibrate and rattle when a song with bass comes on. So the door cards they're coming off in the summer to address this. Just food for thought. Finally when you have the door cards off tape/glue/wedge something in between the housing of the window controls and housing they sit in. You'll thanks me later. Hope this all helps

Yeh typically they send you a letter when they have your item on UK soil and then you have 3 weeks or so to pay import and then they'll ship it from your local depot to your door. Alternatively if you see your package is at your local depot on their tracking app before you receive the letter you can pop in and see if they'll give it to you early. This is what I did, I was driving by my local parcel force depot and went in and asked and they were happy to give it to me but now thinking about it this could be why I didn't get away with import as they probably looked a little closer at my parcel as I was asking for it from the front desk apposed to a robot/computer sorting it and missing the import charge, but that just a guess. No if you've got your parcel and they sent it directly to you with out sending you a letter saying you need to pay import then that's fine, if you don't pay import they don't fine you they just send your parcel back to where it came from. Has happened to me as well when I ordered something that cost £30 I paid no import. Again im just guessing here but if they have a high volume of parcels they might not be able to check them all ect.

I've said I'm happy to help as a mod on here as I already do on the FB group 👍

Thanks for the explanation. I can fully understand why you wouldn't want to sell to a commercial entity (American or otherwise) - I've seen too many other forums ruined that way.

The next answer should be interesting Rob or Lauren will explain hopefully

We've asked previously and nobody could be arsed *shrugs*

For fucks sake. That's 30 reports I've had to go through today. You're right, Nigel, I need some volunteers to help me with this. So many duplicates with a lot of people reporting the same five users or so. Any volunteers? It's mainly a thankless task I'm afraid.

Not good, maybe time to ask for more volunteers Lauren so as you don't have to be around 24/7 [emoji14]

I am the only one who moderates on here unfortunately. I do not have any moderators!

Just checked, they put £109 for me also but according to .GOV website you've got to pay tax on anything over £15 so I guess yours slipped trough the crack. lucky!

Part number of the surround itself is - SU00301519 Fog light part number is (i think, might be worth double checking with toyota) - SU00302518 That includes the light, brackets, bulb, the lot. Indicator part number is - SU00302535

On the forum I run, we check IPs and their e-mail addresses against blacklists before allowing them in.

I'm still a mod on the RCZ forum, we used to get loads and loads of crap. They revamped the forum and now we have a great filter system. It scans IP addresses and checks them against a blacklist, and flags usernames too. Means we rarely get much crap posted these days.

Probably because most of the people with moderator power aren't active on the forum anymore

Hmm, my thoughts on mudguards .. Stock are cheap and look good on car, but i'm slightly worried, that such plastic mudguards can be easily brake. Should be easy to buy at any toyota/subaru dealership, or if you find part numbers, order online wherever cheapest. IIRC there might be different ones for restyle & prerestyle, due different rear bumper, but not sure. And it may differ between gt86 and brz. I have rally armor ones .. look good .. but i hate one bit .. their construction includes aluminium bracket, that sits a bit below bumper bottom. So it's easy to bend/break off those brackets if you eg. park near kerb in reverse with wheels till stop. Needed to rebolt back few times due that. IIRC rokblokz mudflaps don't have such bracket, simply stiffer rubber part, and they also have shortened version for lowered cars. I don't have own experience with these though.
