lomoto Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Wheels and Steering Wheel are aftermarket, Yes. Is that legal in the UK? Because by replacing the steering wheel there is no airbag anymore no legal requirement for airbags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Here there is. Basically you cannot remove anything which was on the car for homologation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ir_fuel Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 And that has to come from someone living in the UK, of all "EU" countries. BTW, for car homologation and modifications there are no EU laws. Every country has different rules about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biker chris Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Took ownership of my 04 plate UK GT spec car in Sunset with Alezan leather on Monday. Gave up on the importer I was dealing with. I don;t want to name him but if anyone is thinking of using a Jap car importer based in Formby then don't bother. Anyway the car is ace. Not disappointed at all. Only frustration so far is that the bluetooth integration is not worthy of the name. I couldnt get it to work and from reading other thread here, it seems that I need a BT adapter. One thing which is confusing me though is that there is a Nokia microphone tucked behind the steering wheel and my phone finds a nokia device when i enable bluetooth. Cant connect to it though since I do not have the pass code for the device. Is this some kind of aftermarket kit ? If so, why woul dsomeone have fitted such a kit when all they needed was a £100 BT adapter ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Sounds like an aftermarket kit was fitted. Not sure on reasoning unless they had another use for the phone kit - ipod???? Without the BT adaptor the phone is not a bluetooth integration kit. It is simply a phone kit that needs a compatible phone and cradle.

BT kit has only been out for six months so if the previous owner had wanted a blue tooth kit, then it will be a aftermarket one. Try 0000 or 1234 as a security code. Tends to be the norm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
