  1. I'd like the passenger grab handle and the sill trimon the passenger side as long as they are both in perfect/very good condition.
  2. By the time entered by usename and password into Ebay.
  3. Nice find, I think I'll buy them and wait for a pair of wheels to suit...
  4. If we don't then we should have one. I'm finding that my Eagle F1s are simply not up to it for 1.4+bar abuse...that's on 18's with 275/35 and 245/40 on hot days with warm roads and tyres. I'm currently looking into the Kumho and Nitto option for a true summer tyre. I found some good info in this thread: http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f91/looks-like-my-yokohama-a048-need-replaced-37000/ I did get caught in a torrential downpour on the motorway at the weekend and was very happy to be on the F1s and happily able to drive through miles and miles of standing water. I think I'd have been forced to pull over and wait it out on R888 or even the like of the Yoko A032R/A048R which I've used elsewhere in the past.
  5. I think it looks a lot better than a lot of the tired and faded OEM scuttles kicking aound the place.
  6. Yesterday morning I said to myself that if these were still here by lunchtime today I would have them. Decision made for me
  7. Good progress Paul - keep up the good work. Looks like you weren't as lucky as me on the front adjusters...although I did suffer with the rear toe arm bolts
  8. Does anyone know what the torque limit is for this sort of setup? Apparently this (and maybe the R154) is not an uncommon conversion for the V12 E type's 4 speed so I giving it a little thought for my old man's car! Is there anywhere I can read up on this vs the R154?
  9. Does anyone have a copy of this they could email me? I'm sure I've found it on the Greddy site in the past (thanks to LeeP) but it doesn't seem to be there anymore. Cheers Dan
  10. Good work Hodge, keep up the good work. I find lists like that a great help. When things are put in a list it's even easier to conciously prioritise them to keep things moving smoothly.
  11. That might not be 100% true Nic....the surface features on the DBA discs will likely affect the initial bite - much like the J slots/mini curves etc on various other discs like AP/Alcon etc. Also depending on the vane design in the vented portion, heat loss may or may not be better than OEM. I believe the internal vanes on the OEM rear discs are straight - there could be improvements here with the right design (I do not know what the DBA internal vane structure is like though).
  12. What is the adjuster setup for the recline on your's Matt?

    Are you able to post up any pictures of the coastline where you are? It would be good interesting for some of us to see what you are seeing.
  14. I suppose I'll have one as well then!
  15. They used to do a nice Ti exhaust
  16. Cheers guys. The sleeves (yes, for height adjustment) are a genuine Bilstein part, a colleague of mine found them in the US and brought them back home in his suitcase for me
  17. Thanks Dave - I'm out on account of the sizes. Over to Supra Noodle

    This isn't meant to sound patronizing, this is an honest reply... If you are genuinely interested then drop me a pm. I cannot explain why this is a colossal jump on a forum like this as there simply isn't the time and means to do so. If you were sat next to me with a pencil and paper, and a day or two spare, I could talk you through it. If you want, I can send you a bunch of links to read through (it won't be light reading) so you can get an insight into the whole drilling/casing/cementing/production/packers/BOP/etc/etc/etc side of things. Once you have read those and have a grasp of "the norm" I could probably explain to you how capping the well permanently on the seabed is a colosal jump from the glorified funnel currently sat down there. The reality is still that drilling one or more wells to intercept/plug/etc this flowing well is the only real answer. That will take time and there is nothing that can be done to change that. Unfortunately it is what maintains life in the developed world as we know it.
  19. Dave, Do these have a 60.1mm centre counter bore (to locate onto the hub) and a 60.1mm outer spigot for a Supra wheel to fit on to? If so - I will take them.

    A colossal jump. I do too.
