Next addition is Kenwood Head Unit (KDC-XBT8013U).

Very easy to install. Only problem I found was that I bought a facia kit from Aerpro (2003-2008 Corolla Spec) that did not fit.

Later found on TOCAU forums that someone had already done this. Obviously wasn't looking hard enough for info befor the install.

But no harm done, retured for full refund and bought the relevent side spacers and pockets from Toyota.

Just some photos at work. Sh%t lighting with dull sky's etc.

Gonna try get some images at night at work at some stage with all the night lights and heavy machinery running around should make a pretty good back drop.

So I have been getting some bad spring binding with the new coil overs. I don't know who else may have experienced this but anyways. I proceeded to contact Just Jap where I purchased them from and told them of the problem. From here they ended up sending me replacement parts for part of the coilovers at no cost or no questions asked. I must say very happy with customer service of these guys.

As you can see from the pictures belows, the main thing that was different between the two versions of top seats where the presence of a bearing. I have since installed these this morning and as expected spring binding has stopped and cannot be happier.
