  1. The thing is, you seem intent on finding the absolute cheapest way of doing things. Designing and testing products costs time and therefor money, copying and manufacturing doesnt. Ergo top level manifolds are well built, last and perform well but cost big bucks, and ebay copies are poorly built, flow badly but are cheap. Thats the bottom line. Applies across the whole range of tuning stuff.
  2. Honestly, and speaking from experience, pull the engine and box together. It's much easier
  3. Cams also have a lot to do with the sound. If you can find one, the RS-R exhaust makes a nice noise
  4. Dont want to spoil anything but, the last episode -
  5. Yep, thats the MO of anyone buying anything nowadays.
  6. It was born out of the collapse of the previous universe, a rebound if you will
  7. The fact is, more people are bothered about where to park their car than look up and wonder at the majesty of the universe. Ultimately our life spans are so short in the grand scheme of things, theres not enough time to waste it on existential dread lol. One thing I absolutely love about big budget BBC science programmes is the camera work and production is always absolutely top notch
  8. No, still sat I my garage. Going on the car now anyway.
  9. I bought an active front lip and under tray for 350 last year. You have to price stuff accordingly if you actually want to sell it. Everyone laughed at my refurbished 17s for a grand.
  10. Id pay the extra for a container to ship if I imported a car for sure
  11. Congratulations on the buy! I cant believe that part theft is still a thing, its been going on for years. If you know what you had and what's missing its worth keeping an eye on ebay. Gutted for you
  12. I thought that had been covered? Aristo, Supra, Soarer etc
  13. No diff is likely to make the car spin off, thats entirely the drivers doing. A limited slip diff will give more traction to the spinning inside wheel, a locking diff will lock both wheels together. A Supra diff will fit
  14. Looks like a chunk of carbon, maybe burnt oil?
  15. Quite common, over boosting (over speeding) is the general cause. The damage on the intake side, induction kits, bit of crap fell in an open pipe, many reasons
  16. Theres an O ring on the fitting on the PS pump from the res, sometimes fails and can draw in air, but when you put your finger in, it looks normal to me, if there was a lot of air you'd get a lot of pink froth
  17. For a start its to full, have you replaces the O ring on the pipe from the res to the pump?
  18. Just wanted to publicly thank Zelliot for embracing the club spirit, being a good guy helping out another member in need. He answered my call for intercooler brackets, wouldnt take a penny for them and posted them out in double time. Many thanks man, you helped me out of a significant hole
  19. Cant possibly say without seeing them, its all experience. Gentle pressure up and down you should get a small bit of movement, not a lot though. In and out is a sign of worn bearings
