  1. Thanks Dude , stunning bikes! I dont think we have J&S in Ireland , most of the bike shops here sell cheap crap and on par with Aldi Helmets lol Bike is just for Sunny Days , too dangerous in Dublin to commute on a bike during the winter , dangerous enough in a car; crazy drivers I am a bit of a brand whore, would lover the Ducati Corse Gloves and boots plus a Ducati Helmet but the Dainese stuff is nice too ; I think Arai, Shoei, AGV do most of the Ducati range of helmets ; problem is again finding somewhere to try a Helmet on With regard Boots, would they be the same as a runner/shoe fitment or is it based on brand ; looks like I can only get the Ducati boots from the UK
  2. Thanks Gabriella I would like a Ducati , 1098s is nice or a Panigali , 748 be nice too
  3. Just about to do my IBT course , compulsory here now Any recommendations on gear? Helmet makes , safety equipment , get a back protector ?
  4. Hey i am getting Oil pump Water pump Thermostat Tbelt Crank pulley is done, new Vbelt Vernier pulleys with cam seals Tomei Poncams shimmed & DTI Valve Stem seals -- may as well if cams are getting changed OsGiken Clutch installed Billet shifter bushes Refurbish Starter Motor Questions Is one tube of the Toyota Black sealant enough for putting on a new oil pump? Should I do the rear seal too if the gearbox is coming off? Any other inexpensive seals to do if everything is getting stripped?
  5. Why choose one over the other ? I presume the below are correct ? T4/T6 are more common housings T4/T6 are more prone to leak at the gaskets Vband less common in turbo housings Less likley to leak
  6. Thanks Dude , thats reasonable ; keep us posted how you get on
  7. Out of Curiosity , what price is Jacks transmission in comparison to buying a new gearbox; few ££ on shipping?
  8. Thanks Dude, knew somebody would have this setup
  9. Definitely reckon I would need the bung if I go full decat Just wonde how loud she would with full decats, done want any unwanted attention or make it so loud you get a headache after awhile
  10. Come on dude , enough Chit chat and more Video's
  11. I wouldn't put EBC on a bicycle let alone a car
  12. Stock big brakes, or the likes of Alcon, AP or Brembo You know the Supra also featured a four-sensor four-channel track tuned ABS system with yaw control whereby each calliper is sensored and the brakes are controlled individually according to the speed, angle, and pitch of the approaching corner. This unique Formula One-inspired braking system allowed the Supra Turbo to record a 70 mph (113 km/h) -0 braking distance of 149 ft (45 m),[22] the best braking performance of any production car tested in 1997 by Car and Driver magazine. This record was finally broken in 2004 by a Porsche Carrera GT, which does it in 145 ft (44 m) . Stock Brakes are not too bad from little old Toyota After market brake kits wont stop you any quicker , 4 pot OEM & 2 pot rears are as good as its gets; then the coefficient of friction takes over, the big brake kits are only for track cars, longitivtiy of the brakes increases before brake fade 4 pot OEM & 2 pot rears and a decent set of tyres; its amazing how many people skimp on tyres and are willing to pay out $$$ for brakes, but yet retain the budget tyres I would try a decent set of tyres first, if you do not have any on
  13. Sorry Hks Hipower Silent its a 3" free flowing unit Hi-power model is steel piping and Hipower Silent is full SS
  14. I will not be intimidated by your cyber bullying and pier pressure But yes I probably will What DB is a fully decatted stock TT
  15. Car is BPU , has a whifbitz 1st decat , 3 " high flow 2nd Cat (SARD I think) and a HKS Silent system I was thinking of putting on a 3" Blitz decat pipe to replace the 2nd CAT She is roughly 97 - 99 db at the moment but was told the Blitz decat would eliminate some of the drone MOT is not an issue as a 93 in Ireland is exempt from emissions Maybe a Waste of Money , maybe she will sound too loud ?
  16. Mondello are a disaster , organisational skills are non existent For all the giving out they do about Jap cars/shows over the years ; I saw this year they setup a Jap Fest FB page and discounts for the clubs; over the years when you arrive at 730/8am to get your car parked up , the staff are the most rude people you come across, treat you like something they scrapped off their shoe Every scrote still allowed walk around freely with the lastest pack of the finest Dutch Gold, one of the top reasons I dont go; one year a drunk idiot fell against my car and took a nick out of the door Only reason they are making an effort with Clubs this year is because they made record earnings at the gate last year , nothing like greed to get Mondello to show a minute element of professionalism
  17. Its Marcin's from Mac Motorsports , think he is out your way in Scotland
  18. Good stuff, taught you were just going as a tourist not a driver lol You doing the next Octane track day,, might get the MX5 out
  19. Enjoy! I not a fan of the drifting , pointless making a car do the opposite of what it was designed to do , handle I just like looking at the fabrication and little clever ways they get around things
  20. She is , crank , rods, pistons ; red line is 10500rpm but she is dialled back to 8500rpm
