  1. Hi as per title but this is getting urgent now as dragon ball is looming and there's a lot of new stuff on this car that needs road testing before I take it across Europe. Ryan is out of the country as usual and Allen Jeffories who was going to be doing it is now too busy for the next 4 weeks because I have missed my booked slots with him twice due to other issues with the car that did not become apparent until it was down there on the dyno.
  2. What time are you thinking of being there ? It doesn't look like many going now but we can still meet up for a coffee if you like I'm pretty sure Sooty is going too
  3. There's a really nice carvery just over the north Deven border (Somerset) http://brenthousecarvery.co.uk lots of car parking too
  4. Now you can have your cake and eat it ! This silencer allows for a straight through exhaust for when you want maximum power and sound but allows you to with the press of a button force the exhaust gasses through the baffles of the silencer so when you are on a long drive you don't have you suffer that headache inducing drone. I brought 2 of these off eBay for my V8 as I have twin exhausts. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-INLET-UNIVERSAL-XFORCE-VAREX-EXHAUST-MUFFLER-REMOTE-SOUND-CONTROL-CANON-TIP-/351360167837 This is a 2.5 inch inlet However I could only fit 1 on 1 side because there is not enough room under my (modified) petrol tank to fit the second one on the other side The difference between open and closed on these if phenomenal So I have 1 on my car and the other I am selling brand new, in the box never been used These cost £334 each with shipping and import tax I will sell this for £280 delivered to uk mainland More info on these can be found here http://www.xforce.com.au/products/varex-mufflers
  5. Got a 5spd box from a 5 series diesel E39? Was told this is the strongest box (compared to the 6spd petrol) and can take 1500nm torque
  6. I would always use loctite on flywheel bolts anyway and the kit I got from http://www.driftfactory.co.uk/ included ARP flywheel bolts
  7. A lot of people in the USA are using kits from abc-clutch.com for the 1uz I have one here waiting to go in mine but they also do a kit for the 2jz http://www.abc-clutch.com/products/1-2JZ-BMW-gearbox-adapter-KIT Have test fitted this to a spare engine and the alignment is spot on. The (Tiltan) clutch seems good quality too, will let you know how it goes. Regarding v160 I used to have one and spent £1500 getting the 3rd gear synchro fixed. You wouldn't want to do that too many times.
  8. I will be up for this if the car is ready. It's only 10 mins from me.
  9. Well done you deserve to win. That car is stunning
  10. Me and Shirley will go and will make sure it does not clash with anything else this year so hopefully can stay all day
  11. Missed DB14 so I really want tickets for this one, DB12&13 were awesome
  12. It's in bits ATM, the crappy ford focus power steering pump that I shoe horned in to make room for the turbos gave up on the way back from the show on the hoe meet. So going for a complete change of plan now, out with the red hot turbos sat at the front of my engine bay cooking everything and got my self a nice cool running centrifugal supercharger The new times etc are fine with me I will ask Andy (Sooty) and Becky if they are coming too at least they have a working Supra
  13. Put me and Shirley on the list but will probably be in the van or Shirley's mini
  14. Very sorry to hear about your problems and for the dumbarse question. In my defence I am dyslexic and it takes me a good half hour to read just 1 page so in my attempt to speed read I missed the bit where you explained that using the na valve body increases the line pressure over and above the normal line pressure in an unmodified TT auto box.
  15. Sorry if this is a dumbarse question that has already been answered but is the purpose of the hybrid to make the na box as strong as a TT box or does using the na valve body make the TT box stronger than an unmodified TT box?
  16. Sorry can't give a definite yes to this but will we be able to pay on the day if we are able to make it?
  17. If I'm not too late can you put my name down and let me know how to pay
