Cloth seats in VGC £40, buyer collects. No cuts, burns or stains and runners, recliners and electric motors all good.

Like B.R. say's Sorry lads it is sold.

B.R. p.m. me your address and post code, I think have found it for £15.99, but need your details to find out? David

About the same then, unless you can find cheaper B.R. If you're not in a hurry, I can have it posted from Belgium in a couple of weeks. Would that be less?

Facelift ergonomic grip steering wheel with airbag, mint condition £90.

Sold to Mistermann

Full set of J spec brakes, discs calipers, pads and hoses £125, they are just as clean on the back too.

Is there a way I can use these 'slip cont off' momentary press switches, as on/off switches, or is there a more suitable OEM switch that will fit these sockets?

I have found one to measure, but cannot have. The bolt hole centres are in a different position, about 4mm out, and the bolts a size larger. The gasket face is a good match, so a 1-2mm repositioning of the bolt holes and position locator pins then it would go on. Just need to find a large eared dead diff.

Have full set of J spec brakes, flexi hoses, discs, calipers and pads in VGC. £100 p.m. if interested. David

A current project is to install an MR2 electric power steering pump and converting to a Mk3 alternator mounting set up. Slight mods to Mk3 brackets and the alternator goes on. Image of Mk3 set up This leaves me to find a way to re-position the top hose, a la TT set up. I have looked at the Mk4 TT alloy castings between the head, water pump and top hose, but they don't look compatible with the stud positions on the N/A head, and would require changing the waterpump back plate. Maybe the Mk3 castings would work? Or maybe I could leave the plumbing alone and run the belt around the top hose? Someone must have done this before. Does anyone know the simplest way to change this plumbing arrangement? Thank you David

Thank's Stefan, that info would be useful. But even if they don't, as long as there is face contact at the gasket seal, it should be possible to re-engineer to fit.

Look's like my dead diff hunt is still on then. Cheers David

This is what it looks like.

Merry Christmas

Have I won yet

I think you can fit a TT Torsen, as long as you keep your crown wheel and pinion gears. Ask in 'technical'.

I have one you can have, still in box, £150 delivered. I bought it by mistake, can't be doing with digital.

And the winner is....................

Just look at it. If it has a big pair of sticky out ears, then that's the one I'm after. Please let me know. Thank's in anticipation. David

:help:Looking for a diff back plate, the type with cooling wings. Don't need the diff or casing, just the back plate. U.K. spec models, and J spec 6 speed manuals have them. One from a 'dead' diff would be ideal, but If letting me have this means your spare diff would be left open, you could have my plate to cover it up.

I am impressed with mine, the car feels well 'planted', look good too. I found the Sessanta's had more grip than the J spec brakes, and pulled about a bit under braking on uneven surfaces. The U.K. brakes have put that right. And after the Torsen goes in, I can give them a proper work out. :)

Ready to go in

Hello Ian, wondered where you had been, we have been clearing the air a bit, just as well you weren't around too, or I might have really had my hands full As I said with the list, they are mostly manufacturer claims. I am not such a bad chap either, so I am glad we've got that one out of the way. The job is coming along steadilly, the U.K. brakes and Du Luck lines are on. :) But lately I have been spending my time on the inside jobs. The Torsen is rebuilt and ready to fit. I have sourced the oil coolers and a rear n/s driveshaft with ABS sensor, hub and wires. The mounting adaptor for the fuel regulator is almost complete, and I now have a tappet shim removal tool, a timing strobe and the VV4 ECU. Despite the weather and a dose of 'man flu', I have managed to adjust the ignition timing, fit the HKS Twin Power, the MSD coil and the HKS earth kit. The next session will be to get the diff and ABS sensor in, and will fit the Fuel regulator too. Next project; Install VV4. Next project; upgrade and/or change trans. Next project; Re-shim tappets. Next project; Take off front bumper and fit oil coolers for engine and trans, change rad, change crank, idler and alternator pulleys, fit active spoiler, HID's and ballasts, laquer the bumper, fit the angel eyes, new grille and numberplate. Then a session to fit the pod, install the new dash and gauges, wire in the active spoiler and spots, then tidy up the loom here and there. Then i'm ready to go. I will take you for that trundle when I am done, and before the dyno tune, because I may be tempted to choose power over economy. I wish the Torsen was already in, because I can't even get out of the street without it
