Hatch visor brand new brackets and clips~

Some time ago I got the original hatch visor from an auction, it came with the original brackets as well but they were deteriorated. Furthermore, the original brackets have tabs that go under the window trim, which by the age of many of our cars now would be impossible to insert as it would definitely crack the trim.

So I designed new brackets that don't need to be slid under the trim, in addition of redoing the side clips as well.

Here are some pictures of the work and finally I was able to attach the visor without any issue.

I can make the brackets and clips, should there be anyone who would need them.

How to remove glove box compartment

I want to remove the glove box to have access to the light and replace it.

I haven't seen other cars but i suppose the light should come from above, while mine comes from the side right next to the switch, and does not illuminate anything at all. Perhaps it had fallen down there somehow before i bought the car.

Replacing Fujitsubo muffler: any pipes available?

Before asking someone to make a custom pipe I was wondering whether there is something out on the market that i can buy, possibly from Japan.

I have a Fujitsubo, I suppose it's a Legalis R but not sure.

A straight pipe or a decent sounding one would be nice too.

Access retractors relay RHD

Is the relay accessible by removing the lower steering column cover? If so, how to remove the cover? I think there are 4 screws but didn't come off. Maybe something around the hood lever.

If not, where is it? It is not behind the fog light switch panel for sure.

How to open a claim on a Rakuten card transaction?

I have a Rakuten card linked to JapanPost and I want to report a transaction.
The fraud is not in the unexpected transaction, I did it willingly, but I had been sent a different variation of a product i purchased from some scam friendly website.

Paypal did not help and they suggested to contact the card issuing company instead as it would take priority.

Thanks, maybe solved. I found this link to report a transaction for receiving a different product than what I ordered.

Bench testing a HKS Turbo Timer

I have got a turbo timer from yahoo auction, it may be junk, so i was trying to test it at home.
After connecting the ground, 12v and ignition wires and the timer turns on.
After setting up the timer, and disconnecting the ignition wire, i expect the timer to start counting down, but is it correct?

Also, there is a handbrake wire and an acc wire. One of the manuals say that it is not strictly necessary to connect the acc wire, so i did not.
Regarding the handbrake wire, i have both connected it to ground and 12v but nothing changed. Again, i may be doing something wrong, or the thing is just broken.

The pcb looks clean, i tested each relay singularly and they all work. Capacitors look ok i think.

I have got the 7th gen model, this is a newer manual, but i think they are all compatible connection wise.

Light bulbs info

I was confident enough to check superbrightleds for the bulb type without actually verifying what is in the car and got the wrong bulbs for the doors.
On that website also the dome lights are listed as festoon but i saw a youtube video where the bulbs are different as well. That'd be at least two wrong information.

Also some questions for now
How am i supposed to open the dome housing without breaking it to pieces?
Is the T5 bulb under the steering wheel supposed to be just pulled off?
I think there is also another similar bulb inside the glovebox on the side.

Installing a boost controller on 1jz

I haven't looked into it yet so i am gathering information.

First of all is it correct to assume that the twin turbo is a parallel configuration with internal wastegate actuators?

The evc i purchased is a HKS EVC Pro, which comes with one solenoid valve with one input and one output (there is also a pressure sensor input on the solenoid valve module itself).

Should i use two T fittings, join together the output from each turbo and connect it to the input of the solenoid valve, then split the output of the solenoid valve to each wastegate actuator?
And where is a good place where to pick up the boost pressure?
Any reference or correction would be appreciated.

Speakers size for '92 mk3

What speaker size would fit? I have read about 5" and 6.5" but also that some people had to modify the attachment parts. Ideally, i don't want to make any modification in the stock housing.
There seem to be some cheap 4 ohm speakers on Aliexpress available in 4, 5, 6.5" called Roadstar something.

Suggestions on how to attach a front lip

I have got a front lip with holes already made and I noticed that at the bottom of the oem bumper there are corresponding holes, letting threaded attachment points show thru.
The bumper came with a set of bolts that thread in those holes, though, the bolts are quite short and the mounting holes are quite recessed.

Do i need some metal bracket that goes in the middle? What would the best way to attach it?
I was thinking as the easiest way perhaps use longer bolts and silicone spacers, if that is sufficient to keep it stable.

Do I have three horns?

What is going on here, the one facing back is not connected though.
Also is that bracket supposed to be angled like that?

Remove front grills for lights assemblies substitution?

The indicators/position light assemblies seem to have two screws, one externally accessible from the sides on the position light, and i think the other one behind each grill respectively.

I don't think i saw screws, perhaps some clips from inside the hood, or am i missing something?
