  1. No problem, but I need to know whether it's for a VVTi or none VVTi please? Thanks!
  2. I am afraid i cannot find a decent piston. I was sure had at least two, if they turn up I will post here and PM you.
  3. Thanks, they should last "forever" as I used top notch components and they are potted against damp
  4. Either a Paypal "Family and friends" payment or normal Paypal please add 4%, or I can send bank details if you prefer? I have a VVTi one in stock, cheers.
  5. Fast road brake pads, Supras and many other cars. Continuing the special deal with free insured post and packing to any UK post code on full car sets I have Jap spec caliper fast road pads at £130 plus VAT a full car set. UK caliper pads are £140 plus VAT a full car set. I can do UK fronts with Jap spec rears at £135 plus VAT a full car set. LS400 front caliper pads are £80 plus VAT a set, £5.80 plus VAT insured P&P., or free P&P if ordered with UK or Jap spec rear pads. (Awaiting stock, price may change for these LS400 pads). I also have stainless caliper pistons for Jap and UK spec calipers and all the caliper seal kits. I can do these nice, quiet, fast road compound pads that are very kind to discs for a vast range of other cars now, including all the Skyline range, RX-7, MX-5, most hot hatches and a fair range of exotica. Just e-mail me for a price. Thanks [email protected]
  6. I have just done a new batch of these, and they tend to sell quite fast. Since Greddy and TRL stopped doing their very nice and reliable fuel cut defenders I have been wondering about building a sensibly priced alternative. The great thing with the Greddy is it did not clamp the MAP sensor voltage until the pre-set threshold was reached. The HKS one was not so nice and skewed the output from the MAP sensor, thereby also skewing the fuel curve. I have now tooled up to produce my own FCD that leaves the MAP sensor output *totally* unaltered until the voltage clamp threshold is reached, just like the Greddy ones did, when they were still available, but using more modern, closer tolerance components and a slight circuit improvement. It also uses the same colour wires as the Greddy, meaning the excellent on line pictorial fitting instructions at http://mkiv.com/techarticles/bcc/bcc_install/bcc.htm can be used to aid fitting, which is very easy. They come with an earth eyelet ready soldered on, meaning only three other wires to connect. Use the central stud or the main ecu to floor pan for th earth terminal, under the 10mm socket size nut. They come pre set on lab standard equipment,to suit either VVTi or earlier TT models. If you have a VVTi or 1JZ-GTE let me know when ordering. I have 6 ready to ship, the last batch sold out very quickly. They can be programmed for other MAP sensor turbo engines like Mitsubishis, RX7's, Skylines, MR2 turbos, blah blah. If you can mention them on other forums where you may be a member I will be very grateful! Price is £65 plus VAT with £5.80 plus VAT insured P&P to any UK post code. That's £84.96 grand total. Please ask for a delivery price to other places if required. Thanks. - - - Updated - - - I can supply wiring schematic for the VVTi if required. Just different ecu pins used, as easy to fit to a VVTi as a none VVTi engine, 4 wires to connect, one being an eyelet terminated ground wire like the none VVTi ones.
  7. Excellent used condition, 2.5 inch, fits all MKIV's except UK, but I can add a 2nd O2 sensor boss if required. £100 plus £5.80 insured P&P to a UK post code
  8. You are Tommy Robinson and I claim my five quid.....
  9. She married a multi millionaire a LOT older than her so she isn't that daft I was just a bit of jewellery on her arm. I had hair and my pants stayed up without a lot of fiddling in those days... OK, I had a flash car
  10. I won't have six, will look tomorrow, cheers.
  11. I'll have a look, I might have a few stock TT ones knocking about.
  12. They have outer steel shells. But you can't buy new bushes, you can only buy complete arms. Unless you want the plastic things?
  13. Ream the UJ and shaft oversize and fit an oversize silver steel pin?
  14. Clevite, ACL and stock have all given no issues for me. King ones LOOK iffy, never measured one properly, but the look of them puts me off.
  15. MX5 or a Caterfield, although the latter are costly for what they are. RWD for sure, no sane person tries to make a FWD go fast it's plain WRONG
  16. Ex girlfriend of mine breeds them, but she's in Portugal.... Big lumps, more like a small dog!
  17. I have actually seen one (1 only) factory "cat" with zero internals. Years ago. I assumed it was a faulty one that never had the honeycomb put in for whatever reason. Fresh Jap import, never been modded. definitely had NOT had the internals knocked out, which, with the metal honeycomb, is far from easy or pretty.
  18. You could get enough vibration to feel it but for sure it will give the crank and bearings a hard time.
  19. That sounds like it could make the M1 popular if the Tiptronic control is properly sorted i know from experience that getting it working PROPERLY is not trivial! Thanks for the update.
  20. OK, many thanks, please let us know!
  21. Including support for Tiptronic `boxes?
  22. A very happy Christmas and a healthy and prosperous 2019 to everyone, have a good one, all the very best
  23. N/a and TT variants are all the same but fitting used is a lottery, may last years may de-laminate next day. See other thread re balance on none genuine.
  24. Pitiful as in probably never balanced, just as is off the CNC. For laughs I put a Febest or whatever they are called on the balancer and it was a mile out. I too found it rather suspicious it had no drillings for balance... I have a mandrel for balancing the dampers separately from the crank, and for flywheels, the damned thing was jumping off the machine Balancing one, assuming the bonding is as good as OE puts the cost up there with an original, which have always proven bob on. It was customer supplied so after balancing I fitted it and it was hardly a a pull on fit on an unworn crank nose, too. So all in all rather suspect.
