  1. Yes. But if he was still doing 70mph then on most cars (not sure on the supra?) the power steering is cut/reduced over a certain speed. I run a power assisted rack on my car but without it working and at any speeds above 30/40mph the force needed to turn the wheel is just the same as with it working. My point was that if he was still doing 70mph then he shouldn't of noticed much/any difference in the steering. Brakes yes, as ive personally had the vaccum pipe to the reservoir come off at 140+ and it's not a nice feeling!
  2. I'd send ryan the logs and see if be can see what happened. I've just read the other thread. Surely if you we're still doing 70 at the roundabout, the steering still shouldn't be assisted at those speeds? So I wouldn't of thought you'd have noticed any difference in the steering (if it shouldn't be assisted).
  3. Thanks Lyndon. And a 3sgte believe it or not... The idle isn't a major concern for me, although the Id2000's do seem to get down quite low for their size. Aslong as they're all flowing the same.
  4. Have you used any of the large 2000+ EV14 injectors from fiveo? I came across there site a while ago and they are half the price of the Injector Dynamics 2000cc's. Did a search on the tinterweb and there is very mixed reviews on them... So just wondered whether you've any experience with them.
  5. Seriously? Nevermind, it was just a heads up to measure it to make sure it's what you ordered, as lots of people stateside have been getting the wrong sizes/housings, and quite a few failures. I'm sure yours will be fine.
  6. Yes, I just type stuff on here for the fun of it. I never said that their customer service was bad, just that the number of people ordering stuff and it coming wrongly sized is not good.
  7. I'd measure the wheels to double check the sizes, most people aren't getting what they've ordered from comp! Hope there quality control has improved for you aswell!
  8. It's not a massive amount for the 4g63 engine. It's probably one of the easiest 4cyl engines to make great power out of. Stock they can run big boost on pump fuel.
  9. Same I/c as i run on the MR2 Build looks great!
  10. IMO, yes If i took someones keys and started their car whilst in gear and caused damage, i would feel obliged to put it fully right for them, just as i'd feel i only had myself to blame if i'd of done it. I feel it's the person who's behind the wheel who should check to see if its in gear first. Just my opinion chap
  11. So you don't crash into barns! j/k It can put a side loading on the crank/thrust washers when you dis-engage the clutch. Alot of cars have clutch switches which must be switched to let you start the engine, and alot of people do away with the switch for this very reason.
  12. x2! I'm the same, always leave a car in gear. You're very lucky that he's agreed to split costs with you.
  13. I've took my manifold and turbo off today after its been stood for probably a year. (This is actually for an MR2, but thought i'd try over here, as not many MR2's are running T4 turbos). I found the exhaust housing had rusted massively on the entry and exit, to the point of if it had of been started, it would of been pretty likely it'd of knackered the turbo. I got a good handfull of rust out of it and then had to sand blast the remaining rust off. Has anyone else found this? And just a warning really to check your turbo's if they've been stood a while. Also whilst cleaning the housing out, i found something quite interesting (to me anyway :smile: ). I found there's quite a big difference in size of where the two twin entry scrolls/inlets where they meet the turbine wheel. There was probably 2-3mm thickness difference between the two openings. Here's a pic off google to give you an idea as to what i mean, http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2673/img0009mc6.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Has anyone else checked/looked at there's? I'd expect them to be the same size openings, otherwise i'd assume there's going to be a difference of backpressure between cylinders 1/3 + 2/4. Whether its designed this way, or it's just a poor casting, i'm not sure? I was going to be measuring back pressure from each side of the collector anyway, so after noticing this it'l be interesting to see what the results are, Not that i'l be able to do much about it!
