  1. Did you find a noticeable improvement from the spec r?
  2. Apologies for another exhaust thread! I currently have an unbranded exhaust, 3” pipe decated. I am after something quieter- it’s too loud on start up and motorway drone. Is there something better out there? I’ve read HKS silent hi power seems to get good reviews but before I make the jump does anyone have anything else in mind? Thanks
  3. Afraid not, nearly new ones on them be swapping to new wheels.
  4. Based on condition and what I can find for previous sales £450.
  5. Testing the water- anyone interested in Lexus 18" TTE wheels? They have been painted at some point and probably refurbed as no scuffs or marks on them. No cracks or buckles I'm aware of. If anyone interested I'll get close ups of each wheel and discuss price. Collection only, Belfast area.
  6. Yea 1.1 is more than enough. I was just curious as to how it's working ok now without the valve in place.
  7. Ok so car had been overboosting. All usual stuff checked and seems ok then found the wastegate vsv solenoid isn't working at all. It's bypassed and is now holding around 1-1.1 bar as before was 1.3 and upwards in high gear. Please excuse my ignorance in this area but is it safe enough to now leave as is or best to replace the valve? And will replacing the valve increase the boost? Car is jspec auto bpu. Thanks.
  8. Hi- anyone know the part number or where to get oem boost solenoid apart from Toyota? They can't seem to find it on their system. Thanks!
  9. I'm not surprised. Mine looks more like kindling right now. Anyone running a stock bonnet without it and any issues with the heat?
  10. Got a question about the material under the bonnet in a JDM model. Is this primarily to keep heat from warping the bonnet and maybe a bit of sound insulation? Is there any drawback from removing it? Only ask as mine is becoming very brittle, worried bits are going to start flaking off in the future. Do people replace these or generally safe enough to just remove. Thanks!
  11. £500 is in and around what I'm getting for glass in and out and full repair and respray bootlid.
  12. Unless someone wants to correct me manu mode should "lock" it in gear you choose? At least that's what mine does.
  13. That eBay one must be gone unless I can't find it. Yea I would be after a proper repair, all affected area cut out etc, gives me an idea at least before get some prices. It's really not that bad, just the only blemish on the car and I'm sure will only get worse.
  14. Hi all, I've the usual two spots of rust on the bootlid where it meets the rubber I'm looking to get repaired this year. Question is what is a ballpark cost people have paid for this before I start getting quotes. Both spots measure around 1cm sq. Thanks!
  15. Skoda were doing the Octavia Vrs either petrol or diesel model for around £250 per mth with no deposit.
