  1. Could be worth a go. Ive got someone in mind...
  2. Just realised i paid by cheque...
  3. Might be worth a go. Ill go have a look. Sorry for how things turned out jamie. Hope you get your hands on some soon, cheap ones! But in two pieces not four...
  4. This is the item number of the cams i bought on ebay 290032154153 if you can still find them. In this discription it says boxed and never fitted. PM'd the bloke last night and ive had no reply. But if he is lying will he admit it, I doubt it! So it looks like im £400 sheets down, jamies being good enough to post the cams back, but i cant see hks doing anything about it. Oh yeah i forgot to mention i never opened the box when they arrived and never posted them with any insurance, dont think they were insured when Joe Au sent them either. So i put it down to a learning experience. And no postie is leaving my house in a hurry again, dont trust anyone!
  5. Ill come as long as it doesnt colide with the works do. Feel leeds centre would be best for travels sake and loose women...
  6. There are meets there, ill let you know on here when i hear of the next one.
  7. Scaffolding down the canters, next street along nearly. Me mate noticed the car, looks good. The soarer around the corner caught me eye aswell. Do you go to any of the meets at that cinema place off the M62?Cant remember the name of it...
  8. 2 in one day! One on York ring road near acomb at 15:15, black K reg j-spec, quite loud. The other one I spotted at work today in middleton, Leeds. Black M reg parked on someones drive, looked very tidy. Wondering if either of you were members? Should be...
  9. Yeah ive plugs IK24s, fmic, blitz sbc-id and power meter and am running the same numbers as branners in the technical discussion thread. Thanks for the advice boys, havnt being out in her today so ill have a go at it when it stops raining! But im not holding my breath!
  10. Off to see if it makes a difference after ive eaten me tea, thanks Rich.
  11. oh dear! uk spec 118k, could be the case...
  12. no! But im about to go and find out how! Thanks mate
  13. Picked my uk spec up today with fmic, full decat, fcd, etc. It goes like a saturn rocket but seems to smoke quite heavily at tickover, never did this before. Is it over-fueling? Never ever did it with the cats in, or is it pretty normal? My afr gauge isnt much use yet, says ive got to do 5-6 runs to get the egt over 700 for the sensor to work properly, or am i panicking about nothing? Is it worth getting an emanage and a mapping session?
  14. Im a York lad, got a blue tt thats having a few horses whipped out of her right now. When i get it back ill come find you. Hopefully this week but im not holding my breath, Im in Strensall, you?
  15. Anyone? Anyone at all? Im starving...
  16. Saw you yesterday on the York ringroad, blue metallic and a cracking kit, really smart motor! Then i saw a silver one south bound on the A1 near scotch corner, had a veilside wing and thats all i noticed! A good supra spotting day for round here!
  17. Still in original boxes, never seen the inside of a head! Unmarked beauties and yours for around £550. Ill swap for 256s or 264s though. Also i wont split them, theyve come a long way together...
  18. You dont think theres going to be much market for the 272s then Ian? Thanks for explaining the shimming to me, got a much better take on it now. So if a shim is too large, its just a matter of trimming a little off, but if its small, new ones at £14 a pop. Thanks for that Ian
  19. Bargain, best of luck getting what you want for 'em
  20. Ive got some Lm's on mine, but mine have a gunmetal entre as opposed to gold. Got mine on ebay for £750. Theres a bit of road salt marking like you say, and they came with half worn potenza's, think i got a bargain. The wheels had being up before and went for 900, but the buyer was a arse and never paid, so i got a bargai on the re-listing...
  21. Thanks for the input peeps. Ive got the uk 550cc injectors by the way. So an e-manage or v-con will simply allow better tuning of the a/f ratio through the rev range, but what other functions can it do for the money?Also the shimming of the new cams needs changing, is this the gap between the bottom of valve to the piston, governed by the thickness of the shim with the cam lobe sat atop???
  22. Might have a go at swapping, know much about the fueling computers, piggybacks out there?
  23. You think id be better looking to swap them for some 256's or similar? Got them for 400 notes the other day, didnt seem a bad price for new.
