  1. Can you get polished rad and battery clamps Ray? I am after other stuff aswell but I would rather wait and get it all at once (plus gives me time to save )
  2. sorry to hear and see that, someone elses pride and joy going to the scrap yard in the sky looks well buggered from the pic
  3. i got your pm and i will take it let me know how your wanting payed and I will send it over
  4. any pics of it in the car bud? The boss is just wakening up from her nap
  5. Mmmmm, tempted. . . . will have to have word with the boss
  6. is the drivers door glass in good nic? No scratches etc?
  7. does this come with everything needed to swap from the stock wheel?
  8. As far as I am aware the shims 'help' prevent squeeling and such unwanted noises but I have read on here that without them the brake pedal feels firmer, not sure about what effect they would have on heat/fade etc but I would guess not very much either way
  9. Morning you woke me up and my dog your car makes almost 0.9bar at the mo so it really does not matter on what size restrictor ring you have. You have no cats and all other BPU mods so just get that EBC fitted and crank the boost up
  10. You can buy dextron 2 from halford's, they always stock halfords own brand stuff and Castrol dextron 2
  11. I travelled from newcastle to loch lomand on friday 3.5h drive and saw several porsche, couple 350z, aston martin and even a new nissan gtr but not one supra.
  12. I got min for £50 delivered off ebay and havnt had a problem with them
  13. I was just wondering if the stock wastegate actuator opens under pressure or vacuum? I suddenly started overboosting and found that the rubber tube going to my ebc solenoid had rubbed through (it was lying next to a pully) so my wastegate will not be opening at all. I have a T piece I can use to temp repair it and bung the T leg off (ineffect making a straight connection) but I was just curious as to whether there will be pressure or vacuum in there.
  14. No propblem at all, you can PM me your address and I'll pop along some time or vice versa. I'm away on hols from friday and wont be back until 19th aug. Do you have a spare day off this week.? Im off wed if its convenient and we can pop along to your mates aswel. Where do you do the spraying? It looks like you have put some good money into the car and is probably worth the TT conversion if your after more power. How long you had it for?
  15. cool, you work the doors in the gate with dave? Do you know how much I would be looking at to have the wing door and bumper sprayed? and I wouldnt mind poping down at all to see the car, it looked really nice when you drove buy. Is it an N/A or TT? Did you have a vented bonnet aswel? Where do you live? I take it it's local ish.
  16. lol, yeah small world indeed, I trained with anthony for a while but then moved to dave, Im green belt blue tag so quite a bit to go yet. What is your name? I'll mention you to dave and see what he say's He is a really sound guy and pushes you hard, he is really good technically aswel. Does your mate spray for a living? I need some work done, just in the same colour. I resprayed my front passanger side wing because I had a scratch that was taking the laquer away but it looks rubbish so I need a pro to do it properly. Could also do with the passanger door done and front bumper really. Is it something he would be interested in? Im away on hols from friday so would be looking at getting it done in 3-4weeks time.
  17. They are a co-axial speaker so no seperate tweeters
  18. Yeah sure, be good to have a neb round a new car. Where did you get it sprayed? I train with Dave Charlton in Whickham, he used to do the classes at Blaydon Rugby club until it got flooded last year. Where did you train? I also used to go to Olympia and weight train years ago but stopped. I then started doing some in the house but I am terrible at keeping it going, I usually start and stop and get no where with it:( my own fault really.
  19. oh well one less thing to spend money and time on I suppose, who ended up buying it?
  20. My parents live in westerhope, I live in Lemington. You? What colour was the car before the repray? I thought the paint looked very fresh and clean when I saw it, really stands out. Where did you get the work done and are you happy with it? I have a couple things I could do with getting sorted out but you never know who to trust. Just out of interest where do you do the cage fighting and the gym? I do tae-kwondo myself at whickham, so does alana (my fiance) we enjoy it, keeps you fit but we dont do much ground work.
  21. Also does the downpipe join straight onto the second decat pipe? Sorry for the questions but I am seriously interested
  22. I would have had it if it was cappable of 500-550max as I have an auto anyway 400 is BPU power and Im already there I'll have a quick google
