  1. Yes I am interested too, have given them all my money before I would say £725 for starters, anyone else
  2. Steve Manley has always come up with the parts I need, if he does not have one he will I am sure be able to tell you where to get one as always wayyyyy too late ..............
  3. Miele appliances are amazing quality, they come with an 8 year warrenty as well, the are super quiet and very efficient, not the cheapest but one of the best, built to last for a change
  4. You car is stock ??, if it is then it is a waste of money over using 97-99 ron fuel, the ECU is slow to adjust as well so constant use would be required and that gets expensive for very little gain IMO anyway
  5. Lehman not wanting your services today
  6. Yes I have been found out, still all worth it if it made you excited
  7. Just got in from a freezing cold M25, thanks for the PM CJ, not a problem on the car, it was always going to be fun getting to Purfleet, it often is Well if all else fails the offer will stand of course just let me know, otherwise I wish you luck in getting transport and happy travels Dean
  8. I am going off line until about 10pm now, but the offer still stands
  9. I thought it maybe useful, never claimed it to be mine, better effort than if I had made it up though
  10. I have just closed the policy and it runs out 31st Dec, there are a few companies that do short term policies, not great value but if it gives you some wheels ?? http://tempcover.com/default.aspx?src=google This company quoted £77 for 16 days cover
  11. I thought the Busa was 1300cc ?? maybe not !
  12. I have a spare SAAB Turbo for the xmas period and in the spirit of good will you can use this over your break, it has Tax and MOT, you would just need to sort out insurance, it is in Purfleet in Essex, was going on Ebay tonight but could hold off if it helps you?
  13. Whats the red button for How do I get more power from an NA Whats the MPG of a Supra Whats the tyre pressure on 19"'s Whats the biggest wheels I can fit You could answer these and get them out the way
  14. Did they work before you were fiddling around with the intercooler pipes and front splitter or have they always been broken? If its the second one try the fuse box or switch connections, even the bulbs?
  15. Stick all 3 in a top glove box pod from Paul Whiffin This is mine
  16. Gaz, I have to drag myself down to Phoenix to get some pictures, I was going to do a full thread on the rebuild but the drive from Essex to Phoenix is a real PITA, Matt Harwood has upgraded the headunit to a DVD/CD MP3 Pioneer and I have taken out the Ripspeed DVD screen, keeping the 2 Visor DVD screens now powered bu the new headunit Matt iis doing the Battery and Aquamist install and the NOS was already in, will post up ASAP
  17. My new build has NOS, water injection and an Optima battery relocation in now so I am no longer looking for a boot build, but thanks for the message
  18. The intake air passes in through the airfilter, from here it travels into the turbo compressor (the alloy part) here the intake air is compressed (to a "boosted level") and pumped into the intercooler. When the air is compressed it gets hot, (not from the hot turbo) but due to when all air is compressed it gets hot. The intercooler (air to air) on the WRX uses cold air from the bonnet scoop passing through the fins to cool the hot inlet air that is passing through the other (inside part) of the intercooler. The inlet air gives off heat to the cooling air. The cold air allows a more dense inlet charge to pass through the throttle body butterfly, (which is connected to the accelerator pedal) then into the inlet manifold, here fuel is squirted in at high pressure from the injectors, where it mixes and passes into the combustion chamber (engine). It goes bang, and heats up, (expands) gives off energy and passes out through the exhaust manifold and into the turbo. As the air expands it drives the turbine wheel (connected to the compressor side wheel via a shaft) this creates the boost. This exhaust gas then passes down and out the exhaust! The colder the air entering the engine the more HP as its a denser charge with more oxygen and fuel. BUT do not get this mixed up with air temps at the airfilter, as this is only marginal in changes effecting the BIG increases in temps when the air is compressed in the turbo. It is only possible to change the air filter inlet temps by a couple of degrees and this is marginal on effect of performance. The temperature before the intercooler is very high and thus easily reduced as the difference between inside and outside temps of the intercooler are large. (The larger the difference the easier to effect change) NOTE. Air to water intercoolers (like Liberty / Legacy) are better than air to air, but more costly to make. Obviously water can soak up more heat and transfer it than air!
  19. I would have a look at the plugs to see what state they are in after the overheat, post up a few pics if you dont know what you are looking for
  20. Could have been worse, he could have filled it up with coolant

    Hi

    Welcome Must have been some accident if thats all that is left, you do have a Sup right ?
  22. I have a single car on Blitz Technospeed 19" alloys and HKS Hipermax suspension and a stock TT on Stock wheels and the drive in the stock car even with the original (old) suspension is vastly better, makes you wonder if the bling is really worth the sacrifice in feel sometimes, especially in the wet and approaching a corner on a bumpy road at speed
  23. Am I reading this right, you were going to remove the FMIC because it catches the ground, what were you going to put in its place the old SMIC ??
