  1. How much? No all the cars on there are mega-money, so surely not unreasonable price-wise. I know Gazboy ran his, but would be nice to see a modded Supra run, would show off the car's abilities, which Gaz's run didn't really do (being near-stock as you said). After seeing the Texas mile stuff in the US, a good car like Paul Whiffins' maybe, or the Envy car, would really clean up.
  2. Shame no big power Jap stuff again. Do they not want to attend, or is it somewhat of a closed event?
  3. You still doing this kind of work Matt? Would feel relaxed with you doing the work. But a lot of installers do very low quality work (annoying when you cannot do it yourself). And as Foodfreak says, nice to see you still lurk the boards. :-)
  4. Hi everyone, I currently have a T5000 fitted (the orginal Toyota fit on UK cars). I have been burnt by it once in the past - requiring the alarm ECU to be sent back to Scorpion. So now I am using the car a bit more, and knowing the system is less-than-reliable, I want to replace it. Could someone simply come and swap my Scorpion ECU for that of another alarm/immobiliser? (i.e. Making use of all existing wiring etc) Or would it require new wiring/solenoids/sensors etc (i.e. complete alarm install). Thanks!
  5. http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ProductDetail.asp?cls=MSPORT&pcode=MISGRIP1 Is this stuff any good? I have some nearly-new S-03s, but they are about 3 years old now, and hence probably well past their best. Cheers Syed
  6. Correct, more expensive than the AP's 'tho. I have them on the Soarer, it brakes a little too well given the ABS isn't working!

    RX7s?

    Hmmm any advice to a RX7 specialist in Milton Keynes? It just seems like such a car for a few 'k'. Could it make a good daily driver (talking 20 miles/day or so)?

    RX7s?

    I have wanted one for a long time, and am very tempted ATM. I am aware of the rotor tip issues, so will be seeking a recently rebuilt one! What is the model to go for in the 5-10k price range? Creature comforts preferred, so no RS-types! Cheers everyone!
  9. I will speak to Ryan and see how it goes from there. I was very close to buying those arms, but was too busy with work to purchase at the time. TBH with the exchange rate now what it is, I will be holding off, as 2-3k has become closer to 5k! Once we recover again to 200ish yen/£ I will get them. No rush as I am not even available to use the car anyway. Cheers for yourbit btw Chris, it may not be good on B-roads at the 'mo but it sure as hel grips on smooth roads! Be nice when you work on it is done! All in the future!
  10. I certainly hope so! If I am not in UK I will have someone take in down to JAE or similar for me!
  11. Any of those guys good with Auto-electrics or just Motecs? Installing a ECU with a pinout diagram is trivial, it is sorting the ABS electrical issues among others that needs a bit more on the electrics side. Owen spent all of 10 mins mapping it the first time, so yeah it ran like a dog. And it came back with the stereo amp disconnected, a fault on a circuit causing a high residual current drain, ABS not working/error lights etc. Went back, they kept it for three months, 'fixed' the battery drain by disconnecting a circuit (this circuit happened to also do the brake lights, so once it was trailered back to me 3 months later I needed to put back the fuse, not exactly the driveable state Mark said it was in...) They sorted a map partially, but this missfires a little (I suspect poor map = fouled plugs, thats all). Really did not fix anything else, so all faults still remain. Although it does not have two very sexy door dings in the 4k paint job....... Mark talks the talk, but I am sad to say they let me down big time. Most garages in UK tend not to be pro-active when your on the other side of the world most the time.
  12. Ryan? RyanG? He is a member on here right, if not does someone have contact details? Cheers Gaz! Would like to show it off in person sometime, the color (v.deep purple) looks amazing in the sunlight, but black during most of our weather!
  13. BTW link to some pics (scroll down top ones don't work), and basic info on car: http://www.soarerworld.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25346
  14. Hi everyone After a bad experience with Owen Developments I have a reasonable map on a Motec M800/880 in the Soarer. However, it has some electrical issues they created and have been unable to solve - so I am after someone who actually is confident with a Motec (inc poss CDI installation) AND with auto electrics in general. Distance from Milton Keynes is not an issue. After recommendations please! Syed
