  1. I'm definitely going to do what the guy said above, looks awesome!
  2. Ha sorted i'll leave it there then, its well out of the way! Need 2 new oxygen sensors now though... gah!
  3. Ive got rid of both 1st and 2nd cats on my NA. Aside from sounding alot nicer... I seem to be doing better on fuel, cat had a HUGE hole in there. Now the cat had a lambda sensor i believe, just before joining the next pipe.. The decat pipe doesnt have a hole for this. Ive currently got it cable tied out of the way... what on earth do I do with it
  4. Well I called him, think hes doing the dash for £70 plus postage back to me... so bout £80. I'll drop him a text right now.
  5. http://img259.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=img0342h.jpg That should have a slideshow of the 18s.. front tyres have loads of tread. rear passenger is brand new, rear driver is still legal for ~500 miles. The red overspray looks worse on the photos, should come off with light wire wool/autosol. They are pretty scuffed, but thats why I dont really want much for them..
  6. MASSIVE BUMP. Called Ash today, only 2/5 (incl. me) have called to arrange this. He wanted 5 to do 10% discount...anyone still up for this?! Regardless im getting this done, get his address and shipping tomorrow, regardless of price 3 more people???
  7. forgot i advertised the wheels!! i shall get a photo now...as i said, they arent too fantastic!! i'll get photos of the damage... theres some overspray from my paint on there, very light dusting which will come off with a good bit of elbow grease!
  8. Slightly OT, your NA passed emissions without both cats? Hope so as mines just been decatted, 1st cat was buggered and 2nd wasnt there when I bought it... If you were willing to post, i'd probs paypal some cash for the 2nd if mine fails in 2 weeks.
  9. No idea if they have been touched before, 1994 import NA auto. I'll change the outers for sure then.
  10. Im having a hard time selling my NA... which at its current price is silly, ive got it up for £2199
  11. I'll check the outers, if they are ok i'll probably pop the pistons on the dodgy caliper, I have a feeling the seals could be totally shot.
  12. Hammer. Nail. Head. That is EXACTLY what I wanted... many kudos to you sir!!!
  13. Greased all the sliding areas, really went over them thoroughly. Im guessing if I pope the pistons out and have a look at the seals, i'd have a better idea of whats up. May as well do both calipers while im there Likely to have them in stock, i'll aim to do it whilst my interior is being flocked.
  14. Be at the next one for sure, unlucky Abz, hope you feel back to normal soon
  15. I have recently emptied the car of seats and the dash... and really noticed how disgusting the current state of the carpet is. Whats the best way to go about removing/renewing this. Being super bodge, air compressor, fabric paint and an afternoon was my first thought But I have a feeling it wont be as nice! Any hints/ideas where to get decent material?
  16. ....Them be fighting words.. My poor supra just shed a tear, it went from silver to red
  17. If you need mate, i'll be at the next one...If my car hasn't sold! If you have a TT, you'll beat me there but if you need showing where it is, i'll meet up with you pre-meet, im in Maidstone, head up the M2/Bluebell Hill to get there, so if you want to meet some place before, drop me a PM.
  18. Noticed my Supra was dragging to one side and really gulps fuel, smells when I get out of it after a hard drive and has an odd rumble/donk noise when sub 40mph. The drivers side rear caliper seems to be seizing, which is evident in the lack of pad material passenger side has brand new pads with atleast 90% of the pad left, drivers side was pretty much metal on metal action. Replaced the pads and cleaned up the caliper, flushed all the crap out and the like. Brother did some work on it (see below) and its currently seized again Are there any caliper refurb kits around? That or how much are calipers going these days/any aftermarket ones? BUT!!! Had it in the garage for a full decat, the sound isnt too bad, its not louder as such, until around 3k rpm. What it has done is made the sound a smoother drone not a raspy sound, which I was getting sick of Only thing is the OEM shield that covers the headers needs modifying to stop this little rattle on the decat pipe. Was up for sale for a modest £2199, but I may end up keeping it...if I do, how simple/cost effective is converting my NA to a turbo, not needing it, but if I keep it as a long term thing, i'd like to do it!
  19. exactly why I asked. The tyre place i went to said they dont really like doing RWD cars but i'll call them up!
  20. Anyone know of a 4 wheel alignment place in Kent... Mainly Maidstone/close proximity?
  21. well ive gone over the car.. pressures are all fine, the rear passenger (nearside) wheel is "tilted" alot more inwards than the right, tread wear was much more worn on the inside of the tyre (3mm outside, 0.9mm inside) How does one adjust the tilt of the wheel? it does seem rather excessive and can probably be the root of my drifting problem (car slides outs viciously round most corners in a bit of wet) Cheers guys!
  22. Hoping its not the diff, that was changed from a 96000 miles one to a 46000 one. I'll 100% the pressures now, and i'll check over my brakes tomorrow morning!
  23. NA Auto 1994. Was driving along today and let go of the steering wheel and gave it a little bit of throttle.. it pulled the the left, wheel was straight. I now feel alot of force pulling it to the left on the wheel, but when i let go of the throttle it returns to straight driving. It doesnt really affect the braking...so im quite concerned! Any ideas?
  24. Ha sorry! Basically I've been kicked out and living in my car. So I've only really taken a quick peek in the box! I'll get a photo up of it tomorrow, fitting the decat
  25. I've got a delimiter from Keron, obviously no wiring diagram..but there's like 5/6 wires. Should I get a photo up? I have no idea how to install it [OOPS][/OOPS]
