New belt trims came today to replace the old ones that were cracked and missing. Just one dilemma that hopefully someone can help me with.

Having trouble with the rear doors trims, the front half sits in nice enough, but the back end just don’t want to sit. Can anyone shed some light or tell me what I’m doing wrong. Cheers.

Roll the window down & try again.

tried a few times, same thing still persists on both sides, the rest of the trim sits its snug, its just that quarter window area that won't

These are the ones I purchased, surely not the wrong ones or shite made right?

Turns out, the ones I had bought, were the right part,just didn't have the slight curve that the door has and the old trims had, after lightly bending around a concrete bollard, they fit beautifully!

After looking at what this scanner is capable of in comparison to my cheap foxwell (which does the basics, can't complain) I am highly considering purchasing a Vident i400 Scan tool.

Has anyone here had any experience or know of anyone that has used one and if it's worth it? for the price, seems pretty dam good.

Found some nolethane ones for $113 a pair, might look down that way and I know they're decent.

Just got a new code, P2197. I'm guessing possibly O2 sensors?

Could be that the sensor is reading that the fuel mix is too lean off idle.

Codes don’t tell you what is broken. They tell you were to start investigating.

Just had my car on the hoist at Rapid tune to suss out the rear shocks (left rear has had it, so getting the rears replaced next tuesday). But while we were assessing the shocks, we noticed the mid section of the exhaust installed has lugs coming off each pipe but no rubbers to secure them, so essentially just a hanging mid section. Also may be an aftermarket exhaust I have been told, not my doing, bought as is. In saying that, does the series 2 exhausts or SS exhaust have lugs on there mid section that have holders? if someone can shed some light.

Also a quick one on that, If who has read through this thread will know I have a vibration/shutter/grind noise coming from under the shifter. Could this mid section not being supported be the cause? I will find out when it's done. but here's hoping!

Will be getting holders welded on after the shocks are done and good.

Hope I made sense of all that
