sorry try inserting this one i thought it looked not right

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=e...ir=ja|en&u=

if you use search in yahoo japan though, dont translate the search results... browse through in japanese and when you find something you like open it in a new page and translate that... i just tried the link above and it worked for me three times... search initially in english once you find what you are looking for find the japanese translation of the word (it comes up if you hover the mouse over the word for a while), cut and paste that in your search field and it will broaden your search

hope this helps

Thanks, will give it a go

Sorry it's remiss of me not to also mention Streeter, a member on this forum who buys stuff off Yahoo auctions at bargain prices for his customers. Shoot him a PM if you've find something you like.

Is it possible to like someone indirectly?

what you haven't had a crush on someone by proxy?

I gotta give big ups to Laurence on the forums... whenever I need something off yahoo without any hoops to jump thru I just go thru him.

If rumour has it right him and Streeter like each other indirectly too. :woot:

I have used www.rinkya.com for 4 years. I have bought over 100 items without one problem with their serivce. They are based in Japan

Their fees work out very similar to most other companies offering the same service.

The main advantage with them is you do not have to have any of your money in their account to bid. Just your C/card details. That way if you see something late at night or finishing soon you can bid on the item yourself just like using ebay. You can bid on as many things as you like up to your approved limit with them. You then pay for the item within the next 24-48 hours after the auction. They now do Paypal aswell.

The only disadvantage they will not ship large items like body kits, engines gearboxes etc. They will ship wheels. Best use Importmonster for the larger items.

      Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.

      From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)

      In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird

      Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller

      So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
