Build Threads / Paul’s ANuD Porsche GTB RS Build
« on: May 11, 2019, 10:52:14 AM »
Hi Guys

Today I decided that I would start a build thread on my latest car. This is kit car #3. Some of you will know I have built a DNA 430 and a ANuD GTB. I still have both cars. The GTB is my daily driver and this new GTB RS will be it's replacement when it is finally ready.

The GTB RS is built on the 987 Porsche Boxster. Here is a picture of the donor car.

I hope you're all well. Its been a long time since I posted on here...

Enjoy the build

Paul

Meets and Events / Stoneleigh 2017 Southern Convoy
« on: April 15, 2017, 10:59:28 PM »
With 2 weeks to go, I thought I'd start the usual thread about the southern convoy to Stoneleigh

As with last year this is for the 1st day (Sunday 30th April)

Shall we meet at Newport Pagnell services again on the M1 at 9am?

Cheers
Paulie

Meets and Events / Stoneleigh 2016. Southern convoy
« on: March 20, 2016, 09:28:10 PM »
Evening peeps.

With Stoneligh 2016 only 6 weeks away I thought I'd see if we could get a southern convoy set up. There are at least 7 cars down south so who's up for it?  We could decide on a mutual meeting point. Probably services on the M1 would work. I'm only going on the Sunday 1st May so this is the date I'm talking about. Let's get a list going

5cudo Chat / Ken's old 5cudo
« on: August 11, 2015, 09:03:14 PM »
Looks like Ken's old 5cudo is back on the market. Seems to have been in a crash. I thought the price was low and looked at the photos without reading the description. Then spotted the front passenger wing. Very sad to report  :'(

4thirty Chat / 430 Door weather strips
« on: July 12, 2015, 08:07:59 AM »
Guys - does anyone know what are the door weather strips that come with the 430 kits? I need 2 more as i really want to add some on the inside (see picture below) as when the door shuts with the window down it makes a nasty wobble sound... are they a standard part from any car? Brian/Tony - can you remember?  Cheers all. x

Build Threads / Daz's 430 Build Diary
« on: May 23, 2015, 08:43:21 AM »
Hi Daz

I thought I'd start a build thread for you. It will make your life so much easier. I hope you don't mind.  ;)

Sorry to hear about the issues you are encountering. Everyone on this forum wants to help you and no DNA should ever be unfinished.  ;D

Even if you just post questions on the issues you are facing at least it is all in one place, as opposed to starting a new thread every time. I will also help future builders. Plus, as people reply on your build thread, each time you put a new post on here, they'll all be notified and you'll get help even quicker.

I'm sure as you get progress on your build you'll also want to show your creation (I am talking about the 430, not your new kitchen  ;))

Thanks
Paulie ;D

4thirty Chat / MR2 Alarm LED
« on: November 03, 2014, 10:09:33 AM »
Guys

Quick question on the MR2 dashboard alarm LED. Should, when the car is locked, it flash on and off or just stay lit all the time?

I'm asking because whilst doing some work on my engine bay I disconnected the rear alarm plunger. I completely remove the plunger from the car. I then locked the car (I left the rear deck open) and the LED on the dashboard started flashing

Previous with the plunger attached and rear deck open or closed the LED stayed lit all the time when the car was locked. This makes me think that the plunger is not being 'plunged' when rear deck is closed as it doesn't seem to change the flashing of the LED. 

To me it would make sense that when the car is locked up properly the LED flashes. My car is a 2003 MR2 post-facelift model

Cheers all

Build Threads / Pauls DNA 430 Build Index
« on: October 27, 2014, 10:53:03 PM »
Paul’s DNA 430 Build Index

I often get asked how I did certain things during my 430 build and my reply is always a short description of the task followed by the words “also see my build thread”. However given (at the time of writing) it is over 70 pages long, people often find it a bit cumbersome to scroll through all the pages looking for the relevant part.  So I have constructed the below index of items with links to the relevant posts in the build thread which I hope should help speed up searches.  I will also continue to update this list as I do further things to my car.

Don’t worry if some of the links don’t take you to the correct subject straight away. When doing my post I would put a number of different things in the same post, so it will simply be a case of scrolling down through the information. Of course there ‘may’ simply be an incorrect link in there, if so, please let me know and I will correct it

Hope this helps.

Paul

Evening Guys

Hope someone can help me here. I've had a search and can't find anything on it, so here goes: My MR2 is a 2003 post face lift and only came with one remote key. Seeing at my 430 wont have external door locks I think it would be wise to have another remote key just in case, maybe even 2 spare. I know Toyota charge the earth for such things and I have read a few items on MR2ROC saying I can do the reprogramming myself, open and shut the doors etc.... I'm sure someone on here has done this, so if possible could you share the experience as to what you did and any pitfalls you came across etc....

Cheers in advance

Paulie

Guys, I need a metal bonnet badge for the 4thirty. Has anyone got one for sale? It needs to be 57mm high and 32mm across I think to fit in the indentation on the bonnet.
Cheers
Paul
