  1. Lol, fantastic, I expect that as no one ever see's my sup driving about, it'll be the one time an entire troop come past and see me all screwed up looking a pr*ck
  2. replacing the rad is easy and only takes an hour, its the bleeding of the coolant system that makes you cry

    man I need to turn off the notification for this thread
  4. Tricky your sup looks great mate, I love white and it suits the kit well imo
  5. Do I take it that the temp gauge in the mk4 sup is the same as the mk3, as in it always goes to halfway until the engine is about to die then goes up to overheating ? ie not alot of movement in between. Just wondering wether to fit my swanky water temp gauge from my mk3, i'm a lil paranoid of overheating since having a mk3 Also how do you check to see if you need a new crank pulley ? I mean physically check, if i remove the aux belt will I find play in the pulley ? many thanks guys
  6. well my N/a rad is all of an inch thick if that, i just replaced it with a nice alloy job off ebay and thats at least 2 inches thick and ratde for the TT, was alot harder fitting the new one but its great. So perhaps you have a n/a rad
  7. I know the chap had it all aligned before i brought it, all the tyres are showing even wear but maybe I'll have to have it rechecked, would changing the rear tyres to something less wide help at all ? Also how can I check for abs, I'm sure i don't have it but I gather I can just check for the sensors on each hub ? I'm not going to boot it and stamp on the brakes to check
  8. ahh memories, Secret of monkey island was a fav on the amiga, Wing commander was amazing for the pc when it first hit the shops. Speedball 2, Armorgeddon and battle command were also favs and oh god Carrier command was awesome.
  9. aha this is more like it, the sup has some aftermarket wheels, +51 offset(at rear) with 265/35/18s i believe, they probably don't help. I was just assuming up till i knew I had the torsion diff that it was the open diff giving me some dodgy traction. hence checking before spending a whole lotta cash it's just my mk3 which is/was knocking a healthy 300bhp was alot more settled and inspiring than my n/a mk4. suspension is stock and all in good working order. Think I'll bowl down to the local man who does gearboxes and such for sports racing and let him check it out to see if its really worn. Homer thanks for the tip I'll jack the car up and check the backlash and also my diff fluid level too As for an lsd on a N/a, no offence but why not if it gives better traction over an open diff. thanks for the feedback guys still new to this mk4 lark
  10. I've read an awful lot up on it today, just want to make sure spending £600 on a trd is going to be beneficial
  11. I appreciate that but i'd still ike an answer to the torsion question edit : that sounded wrong. I gather i do have a torsion diff then and its classed as an lsd ?
  12. Right I've done the usual searches and googled. I have a 94 jap n/a, now the trans code on the car states A01B , now i've seen peeps say if it has an A at the end its open diff and B means lsd. As far as I can see mine is a torsion diff ? now this is where I'm confused, If it's a torsion diff, is it open or lsd ? I'm sure torsion is lsd but i didn't think many early n/a's came with them if at all. I was just confirming before I went a splashed on a trd lsd. I fit is a torsion lsd then upgrading to a trd be much point as its not pushing big bhp. I was only thinking of upgrading to an lsd as my mk3 has one and it feels a hell of alot more grounded when driving quick. Many thanks in anticipation
  13. sounds like the master cylinder seals have gone
  14. wow super quick repost the white one on ebay with that kit is nicer looking, still each to their own
  15. pics would be great, can you do one of you next to the car with your hands on your head just like that skyline bull merchant a good few months back still gutted for you and its a good lesson in sorting out insurance properly.
