  1. I keep saying this, but I'll be in my bed.. as I live 15 mins away lol
  2. 700 is the correct figure.. Thats why when I go single im staying 50 below
  3. Dont go cheap. Save up and get something worth buying like erm... Syvecs?
  4. No worries bro.. Just checked the documents in the e-mail and it deffo has commuting in there under my request. Also noticed it has pass plus that says no.. I have Pass Plus. I wonder if that my help the quote a little more
  5. Dan yes it does mate. Competition car quoted me about £700 Sky Insurance said they could match any quote when I told them I was leaving but I asked someone when I got my renewal through and he said they can't do it any cheaper. I hate when insurance companies do that because that can do it cheaper to match someone elses price. But to be honest with skys ways of dealing with the match (i wont go into detail) I wont be returning to them..
  6. Thanks guys edited for some unanswered questions

  9. TTC is only good on an after market ECU.. Not sure what TCC is.. But If you want to spend money on upgrading the jspecs.. The best option for your money is single turbo..
  10. Hi stevie. The 2nd clutch is about to be sent off to the supplier to send off to CC CC have the 1st clutch as it was sent to them for a warranty claim
  11. Thanks guys. It WAS fitted and SUPPLIED in the UK. The trader has been very helpful and its now Competition Clutches responsibly to supply satisfactory service. IF they keep saying no to the supplier I have to go direct. I will give them a call on my day off and ask how many miles are these clutches meant to do? And if they cant be reasonable I will have to say to them that I may have to seek legal Advice. To get you a ball part figure on how much I have spent On CC clutches within 18 months : £1162 Labour: £372 That doesn't include the fact that I had to buy another clutch from another company and pay more labour for that to be fitted. I know I have an RPS Triple plates clutch so I wont get an issue again, but now but altogeter clutches have cost me £4384 Within 18 months!! You wouldn't believe the amount of stress this has given me! Getting lifts to work, messing up my days off. I'm lucky to have some good mates! And I'm also very lucky LeeP had a triple plate clutch or I would have struggled making it to my mates wedding!!!! SRD wasn't the supplier of the CC clutches by the way..
  12. No it was fitted professionally by a very highly rated garage on the owners club... I can't see how it was anthing else. I have had the master and slave cylinder done before the 2nd one went in. I've had a member PM me with the same problem, after a few months his went.. I'm now running an RPS triple plate and no problems so far..
  13. Hi all. Got some bad news today. As some of you know I have had clutch problems the past year. On the 10th May 2011 I had a competition clutch fitted to my 410bhp Supra, It was a stage 4 6 pad clutch rated to 700bhp. at the beginning of April 2012 I started to experience issues were the clutch would slip and once I couldn't get into gear. So under a year old this performance clutch fitted to a car 290bhp under the max limit had gone wrong. I have never been on a drag strip nor track in my life and use my car as a daily runner. I had a response from the supplier that competition clutch had got back to him and they have rejected the claim as its out of the 90 day warranty period. Its clear the clutch is FAR from fit for purpose an I believe that this may go against the sales of goods act. Ironically (and stupidly) I went for another competition clutch, same one and same type as I needed my car asap and low and behold only 1 1/2 months later it has gone wrong. This 2nd clutch is about to be sent off and is within there 90 day warranty. With this one the material melted and stuck to the flywheel meaning that I couldn't get into gear. My car is 455bhp now so still well under the max rating. I am about to send that one off. But my concern is the 1st one. I feel this situation is out of order. I am now going to go beyond the supplier after the 2nd clutch has been sent off to be claimed to resolve the situation on the 1st clutch. All these clutches going faulty had put me into major debt that I feel is unjust as I paid 1st time around for a clutch that was meant to be more that good enough for my car!! I'm seeing what people views are and any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read all that Paul
  14. Keron only has NA ones. A member has PM'ed me so might be getting it of him..
  15. I wont be going down the strip I know will make a plum of myself lol
  16. I opened this thread to expecting it t be about something else lol
  17. I think the problem is aswell that some members cant afford to get there cars ready for SupraPod astimes are hard ATM..
  18. looks good mate.. Keep the Toyota logo for the stock look though
  19. The £550ish. I need a new one but I will not pay that!! Even the guy at Toyota was like "ermm thats expensive" I'm going to take mine off again an see what I can do... Its so so annoying when it plays up.. There's just no idle, I have to throttle - brake - throttle - brake etc.. Just to stop for some lights..
