    Hiding the leads is pretty easy, polishing everything/ making those smoothed covers was the hard part! 1. Remove leads from the plugs (leave them connected to the coilpack to save time) 2. Remove upper manifold 3. Fit leads back on plugs (make sure they're on properly because once you're finished you'll have to take the manifold off to get to them!) 4. Position them so that they won't foul the upper manifold when you refit it and bundle them neatly together with cable ties. While you're at it find the best route under the aux water pump etc so they're neat and well hidden. 5. Refit upper manif

    Changing the suspension will put your geometry out... Get the ride height set how you want it then take it to Supertyres in Maldon, they'll set up the tracking & camber properly for you.

    Run them underneath the manifold... I did it on my syncro and hid the holes with a plate and then on my current VR and smoothed the covers

    It's all about budget, how much do you want to spend? For budget tyres I've got Nankangs at the moment and they're very good value but not the best in the wet. Toyos and Kumhos are all good value... I found toyo PX4 lasted better than T1-Rs

    I might have a set of side markers for sale... the orignal amber hella ones, complete with bulb holders

    I don't think the wheels will fly off the shelf if you sold seperately and if you sell the parts part ex for original replacements you won't make a lot and will end up with a car worth a lot less. I'd stick with it, maybe drop the price a bit but be patient or if you're on a hurry work out the price of individual parts and consider breaking it

    I think the most important part of a good finish is a paint cleaner/polish... if you don't want to go crazy on buying expensive products you'd be better off buying... a cheapish shampoo, something like auto glym super resin polish and then a half decent wax to protect... doesn't have to cost a lot, if you wanted to go a bit further then adding a megs clay bar kit, some trim cleaner and tyre gel to that will make a big difference as well

    I found the wiring diagram on vortex... just a matter of connecting the flashing wire from the indicator Well, I just found a whole car on ebay but yeah check classifieds, stuff comes up every now and then but they go quick... I had a spare tailgate and bumpers I sold a little while ago and they sold before I even got a chance to take photos of them! I'd get the whole tailgate if you can, much less hassle

    I've got a US car but the wiring had been hacked about to add side lights and make the indicators work properly fir the UK. I've pretty much put it back to US spec so the headlights are on all the time (turn off wihen you apply the handbrake), the front and side markers come on with the headlight but are both also wired to work as indicators as well

    It depends what you're covering it with, I've done a couple with a leather effect vinyl and I've always used Evostick impact adhesive (the brown stuff) or wickes own version which a lot cheaper. Spread a thin layer on the headlining and the vinyl, let it dry for about 10 mins then stick it down... I found spray adhesive wasn't strong enough on vinyl or suede but would probably work with normal fabric

    Not my best ever set which I'm blaming on 1. being a bit rusty as I've been without a camera for 2 months and 2. There wasn't enough VRs on the strip! Anyway here's a few fave's, the rest (and larger sizes) are on flickr and prints are available here. Contact me for screen res wallpapers etc
