hi folks my name is steven i am from dublin in ireland... i am on couple of different forums... i have a nissan skyline, but my girlfriend drives a 2002 jdm toyota vitz rs 1.5 and i have turned it into my lil project....she has had it for a yr now and i finally decided to brake open the wallet this weekend....

and this is what i have done this weekend..
well peeps its been a while since i got the vitz anythin so decided to go bit mad this weekend ha ha ha....
as ya's know this is brenda's baby and she insisted she wanted a nice standard car( like i was going to let that happen) ...
so this is wat i got....
first thing to go was the standard radio, this wasn a simple change as i had to hunt down a dash mould that allows ya to fit a din pocket and headunit, eventually found one on ebay for 18euro delivered which was good as its perfect fit...

next thing to sort was the borin big plain dash so got 3 of these gauges for somethin nice to look at, just simple water temp, volt and vacuum and also got trd gearknob...
