    Some advice on upgrading the speakers

    Focal do an integrated range which are simply plug and play in the doors. It you want to add a 2 way in then unfortunately there will most likely be some sort of fabricating/making a bracket. I installed the focal ps165's and an amp but I've installed speakers and amps a number of times. In short if you want tweeters and you haven't already got the jbl system then no its not usually plug and play. I'd recommend focal though

    Found it " A Torsen limited-slip differential bestows better traction and handling on the Yaris GRMN "

    I take it answering a call through the headset Bluetooth system is still okay though

    That last photo looks epic
  9. just so you know they are only around 25 quid on ebay for a beatrush one. I bought one last week. I think it works out at about 20 quid for shipping as well though
  10. So as the title suggest I am going abroad with the car this year. Having never done this again I thought I would ask everyone if they have any helpful hints and tips for anyone going abroad on either a driving holiday or to a destination (e.g. Disneyland Paris). I will be getting the ferry from Dover, even this first leg of the journey had me worried. I've just fitted tein suspension so the the car is approx 30mm lower. Will I struggle to get on to the ferry!? What happens if i get stuck getting off?! I know that there is basically a list of things you have to keep in your car if driving in France (i will just be buying a travel kit which should cover this) Is there anything that you wish someone had told you when you first drove abroad? Are there specific things to look out for?

    Driving tips when abroad.

    Thanks for all of the tips so far. A lot of food for thought. The last time i went to Italy we did hire a car but i didn't end up driving it, from what i remember though it was pretty crazy. The only thing i've been really worried about is the ferry but if they are switched on and I can grab one of them and tell them all should be well. I might email them before hand, see if that helps. You have some good suggestions there @Lauren. The reason I'm driving is it worked out around £400 cheaper and Nikki wants to go to Disneyland for her birthday. I also thought it would be a good experience but I'm keeping those in mind for another trip across Europe hopefully later in the year!
  12. I would be getting it looked at though, it shouldn't have worn through like that!
  13. I think that is just the sheath (plastic covering) for the handbrake cable. still, i don't see how that even happened!

    Squeaky brakes

    Mine had glazed which didn't help. Toyota were happy to have a look but they just basically take the top surface off the pad and re grease the backs and put them back in.came back in a week though. Changed to dba discs with ferrodo pads. Still squeals!

    Adjustable drop links

    I'm in need of a little help from the suspension competent people. I fitted my Tein flex A's (thanks @Tareim) I love them but I'm really struggling to get the adjustable whiteline drop links set right. I know Sam had the stock ones when these were fitted to his car so I wanted to firstly try the stock length. I can't seem to find the stock drop link length anywhere and don't really know what to set them at. Does anyone know the length of the stock droplinks or could measure them for me? I shortened them a little the other day which made it a little better but there is still plenty of adjustability. I'm currently lowered around 25-30mm I believe. Thank you!

    Adjustable drop links

    If you could do that @KevinA that would be really helpful as due to cutting mine off I threw them out!

    Track tyres on standard suspension?

    I used some federal 595 rsr's on stock suspension all summer (semi slicks) and the car handled so well that I set an really respectable time. I found it very responsive but if anything. Get some camber bolts just to give you a little bit more negative camber on the front and the turn in is a hell of a lot better. The tyres helped me use the chassis but by the end of the day I could tell I was near the limits of the stock suspension.

    Gaming Thread

    Really looking forward to titan fall 2. I loved the first one and although I only played it for about 6 months it always felt involving and fast paced. I'm bored of COD now. I might buy it for modern warfare remaster but that would be the only reason. I loved cod 4 but then I feel it started to just get silly. Also can't wait for skyrim. Just been hitting destiny rise of iron quite hard. Done all the missions and most of the side quests and although it is fully rinse and repeat I feel thereally was a lot more story than what we've had in the past! Just got to do the raid!!!
