Set of 18'' wheels anyone?? open to offers
-
I'd be interested if i had the cash. Thinking of maybe going single in the near future and a good ecu would be ideal. Just spent a fortune on wheels!! Good luck with the sale

Sorry those offers are for the skirts and spats only. NOT the Wheels
-
Looks like im getting rid of the spats too........have lots more pics.....one of the spats has some chipping other than that in great conditon. Offers from £250 up so far, Thanks, ben.
-
D8MOA I really dont know, I was hoping someone could throw an offer my way. How does £650 sound?? They are two peice alloys as far as i can see so I'm thinking they weren't cheap. Does anyone know what these might be worth??? Dont want to overprice them but obviously dont wanna lose out either. Just spent a fortune on new ones!!
-
It is a shame RobSheffield and an expensive one at that. I have Uk spec rear brakes and at the moment Jap on the front. Really need to have the UKs on the front too so need some new alloys to accomodate After a few weeks of searching I've finally found some wheels i like.

thanks miko supra

Hi all, MY Speedster Indy 500 18'' alloys are for sale with rubber. They are are dark gunmetal and have polished rims. Rears are 10'' with Bridgestone potenza GIII 275/35 (only about 1000miles tread left on these) which accomodate UK brakes. Fronts have Dunlop SP Sport 9000 245/40( good as new) but will not cover the Uk size brakes hence the sale for some nice new 19'' Rays. No curbing at all on any of these wheels and no damage either. Selling veilside side skirts in excellent condition, no damage and finished in gunmetal grey(looking for ridox kit) these will be available in about a month, when my car in in the bodyshop. Open to offers as I have no idea on value, and sale will go to the highest bidder(alloys available in about 2 weeks when i get my new ones). Thanks guys.

Well looks like Eagle F1s are most highly recommended but sounds like the T1-Rs are a close second but with better durability..........hmmm i dont think i can go wrong with either by the sounds of it..........Thanks for the advice.
-
Hi all, Just in the process of getting new alloys and tyres all round. Kind of decided on the alloys but any advice on tyres?? Is seems so far that two of the best are the goodyear eagle F1s and the Toyo T1r. Thanks guys, Ben.

Hi Kopite, PM left a few days ago. I want these so can you please get back to me asap and let me know if they are still for sale. Ideally I want to get them put on asap cause my car drives like a boat at the mo.
-
Thanks for the rapid response guys. I'm also considering the Tein super street setup, do u think there is a big improvement between this and the Bilstein with say HKS springs?
-
Hi All, I'm possibly looking for a set of the above, if anyone knows where I might be able to get my hands on them it would be much appreciated. Ben.

From the album: 1996 j-spec TT manual

Thanks guys!! Got on the phone to Greg from turbofit and he said exactly the same........checked the pipes and the one running form the intercooler had popped off.....appreciate the rapid response........thankgod it was just that.

Hi guys looking for some help here, just bought a supra TT j spec. driving along I accelerate in first off the lights..........hear a really loud metallic bang and all of a sudden my first turbo is making a really load wooshing noise!! im guessing the turbo has popped its cloggs!! any advice?
-
Not pulling.... especially in first LOW BOOST??
tucky40 replied to tucky40's topic in mkiv Technical
Thanks for the interest guys.... Sorry i do have a boost guage and i meant bar........i meant the first turbo is boosting at o.5-o.6bar and the second at 0.7 bar. (not psi). the first turbo not pulling much especially in 1st gear when it seams non existent. In first gear the second turbo also seems to pull alot later in the rev range as i said above. This all means terrible off the line performance......going to whiffbitz today so hopefully they can check it out......... as far as i know and im almost certain it has both cats. -
Hi All, I'm a New Jspec TT owner and i'm getting to know my car......slowly. I dont seem to get much boost at all form the first turbo, maybe about 5-6 psi, and about 7.5psi from second turbo This is really evident when im accelerating from a stop in 1st gear. Car doesnt seem to accelerate much at all till about 5-6000rpm when the second turbo kicks in. Its less noticable in 2nd, 3rd forth etc but boost on first turbo never gets beyond 6psi. Is this usual and will second turbo always pull more than first?? Thanks guys
-
Thanks Nic, i'll definately consider the uk spec brakes!! the second thread doesnt seem to work though. Before i make a decision id be interested to see what aftermarket big brake kits u have. I'll email you now......
-
Hello guys, My pads need replacing on my Jspec TTm, as far as i know they are the smaller brakes. I'm ideally looking to replace the whole system with some nice lines,discs, pads a calipers.....what would u recommend. If this is too expensive then i'd consider just new uprated pads!! Any advice at all would be great. Thanx

Guy's and gals, i've just bought a jspec TT and its my first turbo car.....I've got to admit the turbos make alot of noise. Should healthy turbos be making any noise at all?? Its a real pronounced hollow woosh not sure if I'd call it a whine
