    Thats what i was told by my mate who works for Toyota, but you're right it is a bit doubtful! Yer i wouldn't buy a new car either, that drop the moment you leave the showroom!!!
  4. No it was this one, ever so slightly larger: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170894742022?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

    They are already sold at a loss so unless you buy used i doubt the new price will fall much at all..
  6. I may be being blind but what make are the wheels?
  7. Other than that. I have bought soo many parts and sold so many bits and pieces i have completely lost track of what is going on :/
  8. Still feel im missing something but can't remember.....

    Pretty much 25 flat. Then add 5k for the "racing development" pack
  10. Im looking to see if any of you guys are mechanics with a workshop or just very good at mechanics and have the space to do a little work to my car. Really need something doing quite soon and can't do it at my house as i dont have a drive or any shelter and the weather looks to be turning for the worse. If not i will use a car park that i have been offered and maybe see if someone has a pop-up garage/gazebo.

    Also pop into a showroom and ask them: A) What you get with the trd pack and how much it costs then b) Laugh yourself out of the showroom, as it's the funniest thing you'll hear all year!
  12. Rich has sent me a link to one to buy. Looks to be near exactly the same to me and that's the one he is using.
  13. I lost the link sorry rich I think it was that one though, if u could confirm that would be great. Sorry know I'm useless
  14. Cheers guys I will buy that one then
  15. Hmm thanks. Was told the one on eBay was fine and was the only an10 I could find. Need rich2211 he bought one I think
  16. Just wondering If someone could confirm if this is the part that I need for my oil return on the sump. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AN-10-10AN-GT-T25-T28-Garrett-Turbo-Billet-Oil-Return-Flange-Bolts-Gasket-/380733077404?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item58a575b79c
  17. Oooh you are close to me. What pricing like?
  18. I agree with you completely. It is quick enough for an n/a that weighs as much as it does, and it will certainly be fast enough for a lot of people. But i know what to race and when to race as i have been caught out in some embarrassing situations before......
  19. Off the line the n/a can certainly get caught out. Rolling starts, ive certainly given a few people in quite quick cars a scare, often met with a thumbs up from them when we next pull up. But the n/a is slowish, but it looks a dam site better than most of the modern nippy little cars. But saying that i am going na/t so the power has become a little 'stale' and thats from someone that loves na power.
  20. Why would you be petty and say i know best, i clearly dont when im posting asking for help and taking advice. I have said over and over that i am taking on everyones points. Ive also explained my need for a workspace etc to be able to drop the pan and do it that way. Unfortunately at present one is not available to me. No parts that i will change to the new engine will be contaminated with swarf? What part would i possibly be moving that would not be able to be cleaned. And if you say Turbo then thats already covered as that will not be being swapped over..... If one of these na/ts that has done the work the way i was asking about had gone pop i would be heartily avoiding this method, but they haven't. Im also not ruling out completing the work one of the other ways as people have pointed out. But again for the 3rd time, im asking for assistance mechanically, no matter which direction i take, not criticism or snide comments.
  21. Could anyone confirm if this is the correct fitting for the oil return. I am using an10 hose so just wanted to check the size of the http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AN-10-10AN-GT-T25-T28-Garrett-Turbo-Billet-Oil-Return-Flange-Bolts-Gasket-/380733077404?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item58a575b79c
  22. Again i am not ignoring what they are saying. I have taken on board the facts and will complete the work to the means available to me. I am also in talks with mechanics about the work too so i am not blindly carrying out work. My main aim is to build a low'ish powered na-t setup, that i can adjust and setup correctly. Then with the engine im building move all my parts to this once i have a setup i am happy with.
  23. Again this is a thread asking for mechanical assistance not your view on how or what im doing. Above it is clear that i have taken on board what people have said, and i have also said that i am looking at alternative methods should the suitable location become available to use. And no i have not bought the cheapest parts, i have bought known parts at very reasonable prices and have found a few very very good deals. I think you'll find the only 'free' parts that are on my car are indicators, speakers, ht leads and thats it as far as i can remember. Everything else is either brand new or used but from a member. Check your facts before piping up with non helpful comments. At least the previous warnings carried suitable alternatives and solutions.....
  24. Cheers. Like is said im going to be following the footsteps of others and will be uber careful. Cheers Fly i had not considered this. If i had a ramp, i would probably loosen the front subframe and take the lower sump off. But unfortunately i don't hence following the route i am. But this thread was asking people for mechanical assistance to the route im going to take above. (Unless someone has a ramp or pit and wants to help complete the job an alternate way)
