This is basically the same manifold I'm using.

cheers W, but Adrian has had one specially made for me.

Maybe I misunderstood what I was told, but I see what you are saying. The turbo is being moved by about three cm so I assume that the downpipe will need to be modded too. Right now I just want my car back, I've been driving the pool car at work - a toyota camry - and it's driving me insane... :(

u'll get it back soon Steve. The kit itself was a bit fiddly and we will be making up a custom manifold to fit. The inlet housing itself isnt gonna fit either, so we will figure something out and make it all nice .. it will be a beast when finished..

ur car seems very new.. wheels are in excellent condition and have been polished?? are u the first owner??

I'm actually the second owner, it was owned by a girl before who really looked after it. I think she polished it every day, only drove it on sundays, and shifted gear at 4000 rpm. What a waste.... Now it get's driven properly :D
If if wasn't for the fact that it doesnt have the red leather interior it could pass for an 05 model easily. It's actually a 00 model. There are a few small stone chips here and there, but I only see them when I polish it, other than that it's in good nick for a six year old. Oh, the rear window's a bit ropey too, but I usually have the roof down and the rear cover on... unless it's raining.

the rear window is an easy fix mate... i use meguirs plastic polish and after i use it to polish the vinyl window it looks like glass.. its crystal clear.. u will be amazed at how good it is..

yeh i got a 00' model too.. mine is in immaculate condition as well coz the guy before didnt drive it hard and took care of it as well.. mine is blk as u can see with the red leather interior..

how would u remove the scratches from the window? mine is scratched :(

That's the definition of 'polish'.

Although I'm removing my scratches by replacing the soft top with one from an 05.

where can I get hold of this plastic polish?

Mothers and Macquires do one.

Or get Plexus from a marine supplier like Whitworths.

i dun wanna give meguiar's too much of a good wrap but they are pretty good.

i am sure no one will have any compalints after they use this...
there are stronger ones with more polishing abilities if it is really scratched..
