kershaw-330s Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Gauges surround in car.needs a better rub down n paint when weather pics up.but its in for now and workin. Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk Nice I likey [emoji14]I fancy doing this as i don't like them sat on top and pillar clusters just look Chavy imho but I've been looking into a greddy informeter. but by time you've bout all the adaptors for boost and oil pressure and temp it works out very expensive ..was it difficult to remove the cluster ? What size dials you got .. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kershaw-330s Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 @Jay762 thats link to the foglight https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/42718 ,you could use any foglight really that you like,would just have to make the housing for it to go in. it says.... Product Information ONLY for Liberal rear diffuser (004-046-005 or 004-046-006) equip model. Nissan OEM rear foglight with Liberal LED valve. Switch is NOT included (NOT for sale). did you buy that as well? importing from japanparts, you have import duty/vat and parcel force handling charge to pay on to. if you go onto HMRC website and search COMMODITY codes, you can then find out the import duty % rate you'll pay fo rth goods you import. Make sure you ahve the correct commodity code on the packaging so you get charged correctly and not someone guessing a % rate that could be wring and too high. My rear R205 defuser worked out at 3.5% but 20% vat gets added etc as well :( Also I just bought from Japan parts and parcel force added a £13 handling charge too Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucky Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 @kershaw-330sthe surround just clips in,just lower your steering as far as it goes then grab the bottom of the surround and pull it will pop out,i was going to use 52mm gauges but could not position them so they did not obstruct seeing the gauges behind,so i used 42mm gauges now i can still see all the temp gauge and speedo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Ouch man my spitter was broken in the exact same place. I made a plate up to hold it together and no one notices unless I point it out. Sorry about the head going but the important question here is how you get over 33mpg? -- I make Films for businesses and people. I also make websites. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Was going to see if you had any hatch parts kicking about. But looks like a nice new car. I think the blob the one I would get if I was to change. I was lucky with my Hatch when it died subaru had it under warranty so they had to pay the bill. Got any plans for it yet?

kershaw-330s Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Was the hatch not a wrx so would've been an ej20 ?? So really the same could happen to the blob I'm confused nice swap tho ..

Sandals Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 The WRX blob has the 2 litre which is much stronger compared to the 2.5 in the early hatches from what i've heard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kershaw-330s Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I don't believe the worst engine is in the jdm hawk because that's an ej207 and that's the good one [emoji6] Sent from my Nokia 3310 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucky Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 @Xander its the wrx,only mods is a decated 3" stainless exhaust for now it feels a lot quicker then my hatch was. @kershaw-330s it was a subaru specialist and a good one at that,that told me worse 2.5 is JDM hawk so i would belive him.

Xander Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Nice I haven't been out in a 2.0L but if it's decatted and mapped I would have thought it would have more power than the hatch. still a nice car and glad your happy with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
