About an hour from Beaumont, Woodville actually if you know where that is. I have friends in Houston.

What was the name of the junkyard? Thanks.

Has anyone done the shaved door handle?

So about a month ago someone tried to break into my car. All they where successful at doing was bust the hell out of both door handles. The back half of the handle is gone as is half of the key cylinder. It still locks as they where unable to get in but to get out of the driver side I have to roll down the window and open it from the outside.

I take it to a body shop and they tell me (after waiting for them to call for 3 weeks) that the parts are on back order from Toyota.

So long story short, I will be getting a check from insurance in a few days, I have messed up door handles, and I have no idea what to do with it.

Could someone please direct me to someplace or someone that might have the parts?

Did the door handles go unchanged for the whole 6th gen?

Ok.... Guess I'll be there alone.

Hey guys any members going to be at this?



Here is the official website!



It is May 11-13th 2006. :thumbsup:



I'll be there for on the 12th and 13th. It is going to be great. :D

Got the studs replaced and the wheels on the car. Checkout my profile for pics.

I have ordered an new head unit for my car. The previous owner mounted the unit that is in there, to the trim piece. You pull it out and the radio is connected to it the pocket is gone and a black plastic peice is over it. So I want to put the new one in correctly cause it skips sometimes now cause it is just hanging there pretty much. I went to Best Buy and got a "universal" bracket but the booklet doesn't list my car, the guy says it will work but the companies website says they don't make a kit for my car.



The bracket Best Buy gave me is part # 99-8101 from metraonline.com



Does anyone know where I can get some backets? Do I have to get them from the dealer?



Can I get the screws that mount it to the dash at an auto part store? Cause I am missing the ones that go to that center trim piece too.

How much did it cost? Wheel and hub.

Thanks hopefully I will have better luck next time with that threading tip. And thanks for explaining the depth of thread and threads per inch. Gives me alot more confidence that I ordered the right lugs.

Lug nut size is the same, I just needed small diameter to fit in the wheel.

I couldn't use the stock lugs cause they had to fit down in the wheels.



I guess it would depend on the design of the wheel.

Ok so the reason we screwed up is cause the lugs he had where 12mm x 1.25 and we where in a hurry. There is only one threading any lug will work as long as it is 12mm x 1.50 and take my time threading them on or I will be right back to where I am now.



Thanks for all of your input it has enlightened me greatly.



Going to go get 5 studs to replace all the striped and/or broke studs, make sure I get 12mm x 1.50 lugs and take it to my friends tire shop and get him to put them on!

The little holes and the little studs all go together right, I screwed up putting the lugs on. Didn't thread them right. Is there different threads? Cause they didn't seem to want to thread right. The info on the JC Whitney page doesn't say anything about a certain thread type.

Here is my situation. My best friend gave me some gunmetal Arospeed RS-GT 17x7 5 with tires not positive on the tire size, as I am at work and can't walk out to the shed and look. He had them on a '02 Subaru Impreza WRX wagon. We put one on the front to see if it would fit and move ok and we managed to breakoff 2 studs ans strip the other 3. But I got my old wheel back on first. Then I went to Autozone and got some 12mm "tuner" lugs and I couldn't get them to thread right. I thought if they where the right size they would work. These are like the ones my friend had but they are 1.50 instead of 1.25. Is the different kind of threads, fine or coarse? Will these lugs work if I order them?



Sorry to waste anyone's time if this has been answered somewhere else, can never find what I am looking for when I search.

So your saying it would be cheaper and easier to move to the UK...

I bought Juiced so I could try different things on my car. It is ok to play, my favorite is still Tokyo Extreme Racer Zero's ST205, I bought it to begin with and beat the whole game with it.

I want a button that shoots the mirrors right off the car, so I won't have the "drag" when I am trying to out run the police. It will work with the suspension that will lower the faster I go.

I call it the "Drop and Pop" manuever, patent pending.

Does anyone know what it would take to import one? Several thousand for shipping?

Yeah, I'm guessing if I cut them off there would be little v-shaped notches on the inside of it.

Think I might just paint em black.

And how would one go about cutting out those "teeth"?
