The outer ring fall off? I was of the same thinking as you about fitting a new one every 5 years it's a simple enough job now I have the proper Toyota lock up and Puller tool. I was looking at the Fluid damper and Titan units but the Titan needs to be rebuilt every 5 years and the fluid damper has no way to check it's working the first you will know it's gone wrong the crank will have snapped :/ So went for the tried and tested unit. - - - Updated - - - The balancing is on the rear of the old one hang on il get a photo .

What happened to Nazs car?

I'm aware that crank pulleys are big issue on our aging cars and as a few of you are aware I have been pulling my brothers VVTI block apart this winter as a matter of general maintenance. After a while of tinkering I got the crank pulley off and I found what look like 2 split markings in the rubber ring I'm not surprised by this but just to emphasise the tip ex test is not conclusive. I marked this pulley last season as a matter of course and it had shown no signs of moving however as you can see it looks kaput. I'm correct in asserting those two split marks shouldn't be there... OLD UNIT New Unit

A man of many skills

You are brave.. did you spray it or did you delegate.

Very very nice you always get the wheel combination right :thumbs:

Just drill and tap 2 new holes pain in the arse but easy enough to get around

If you have an IPhone 5 or later DO NOT buy an app radio 1-2 they are utter utter garbage I had them both after being assured they were iPhone 5 compatible at the time but they were not they are more a Samsung orientated device. If you want GPS/USB/Bluetooth/Handsfree/SD/CD/DVD/DAB etc just go for one of pioneers units above the app radio but it depends what you like I like getting in the car turning the key and not having to mess about connecting stuff which most pioneer stuff with exception to the app radio 1-2 does. I have not had an App radio 3 just to clarify. I got this Pioneer unit in 2013 I can't remember the model but it does everything above and fits in the stock double din perfectly.

Supra logo stitched in cant find a Recaro one for you though :/

Awwww man thats not good I had a set of pleather Raceland seats in my last car the bolster wore through in 2 months the new Audi ones and BMW ones I use are just awful they feel coated in plastic although the new S5 seats feel the same as these Supra ones lovely nice supple leather no plastic feel. How long ago did you get yours done out of curiosity ellis I got these done in 2013 and they still look and feel new.. These are the nasty S-line pleather seats that the Vag scene love These S5 ones feel much nicer soft touch stuff same feel as the ones in the Supra. Supra Ones done by Jurgen (only pictures I have atm)

Sometimes I eat pickled onions straight from the jar.

That^^ The Supra name stitched in looks very Max Power 90s get them trimmed all black leather with black stitching and perhaps the Recaro name restitched in a Blue to match your car. Simple-Classy you will be swimming in bitches

The bloke Jurgen gets to retrim seats does the fronts for £450 in proper leather no pleather shit he does the different colour stitching included IIRC if your bolsters are kaput I'm sure the guy will fit them no problem while he trims them. Should come in way under budget assuming bolsters arnt silly money to buy? Also the Leather the bloke trimms them in feels much better quality than any of the standard crap that Recaro put on. Recaro seem to like using that nasty pleather that Audi put on S-Line seats.

Lovely looking wheels. Have you got any pictures of your new fancy wheels on your car Ross?

I'm being told by the wench that Gold and Blue are complimenting colours I don't have the skill to photoshop for you though :/

Is that a dirty filthy front VAG caliper I see

I believe it will control tiptronic with an IO expander but wait and see whats happening with Jays Mapping first

Its all about the powdercoat or remove them and Rattle can.

Meh they are still heavily salting the roads up here in Mordor + the engine is in bits for upgrades and general maintenance. Should be ready for the end of April as is yearly tradition.

Same as above

When I read things like this I realise it's not so bad living in the middle of nowhere that is of no interest to the terrorist movement.

Are they the same as Supras?

I see your thinking alternators starter motor etc? Anyone know?
