  1. We are further away in Colchester, But we work closely with a great guy on our restorations if that gives you a second option. We did the Mk1 Capri 3.0GT in Sebring Red that was featured in Aprils Classic Ford last month !! J.
  2. As for Pistons then Wiseco Heavy Duties are hard to beat imho CP have a very thin edge where the valve relief is which Im not a fan of.
  3. MAG engines are ok Ive dealt with them on cheap stuff before and the kit is the same as Blue Print, Febi etc Not sure I'd want to risk a 2J crank from them though lol Bridegway are possibly a good halfway house if you fancy blowing a few quid on a forged crank !!
  4. Oh, For sure there are plenty of ruined ones, just like there used to be a ton of Supras (Skylines too) with gull wing doors, Veilside front bumpers and god awful weak fitment wheels with cheap tyres and a shopping list down the door of manufacturers that are either not on the car or at best the stickers came with a dumpvalve, gauges, and spark plugs lol There are also a lot of pretty serious Evos of all denominations that have had a lot of money spent that are very capable on road. Fewer Scoobs like that but even then we see them with a more serious kind of owner these days, now the numpties have moved back to Golfs and Fords lol
  5. LOL You're mad. The Lancer Register is one of the biggest clubs in the UK Has run its own Sprint Championship and has for many years had huge presence at all the UK shows. Evo's are generally good, solid, bulletproof if looked after but need quite a bit of mechanical maintenance and people that know them to do them justice. Get one and take it to Gary haywood at APT and never look back. J.
  6. Non-competes mean nothing if you really wanna get serious and go to court over it. Hence why companies that such clauses would be worthwhile to tend to go down the long notice period route as that actually is enforceable, even if they get you out the building immediately they will effectively pay you garden leave until the notice period is up - Formula1 is a good example of this where they typically have a 1year notice for technical staff to safeguard developments for the following years car. She can do what she likes pretty much. J.
  7. Not sure if thats aimed at me, But its in a manual drift/track car. Pretty simple in many respects. Bosch 82mm DV5 throttle, 350z pedal, Link ecu, and wire it up. Advantages are idle compensation, potential for more accurate boost and control implementation for track work, throttle progression can be mapped, amongst others. Wiring is easy - 6 to TB = motor +ve and -ve, TPS +ve and -ve, and Sensor 1 & 2.........for the pedal the 6 are basically +ve, -ve and sensor for each of the two position sensors in the pedal. J.
  8. Just to add options; Julian at Garage D Paul at JDM Garage Saaj at JapUsedParts All have reliable and regular suply of 2Js
  9. No, But Im just doing it myself on my 2JZ Its pretty straight forward J.
  10. Call Martin Battye at MB Automotive. He's an arrogant arse, but he does know what he's doing, is a Syvecs specialist and is near Huntingdon I think so might even be able to come to you. J.
  11. Just thrown one away last month !! Had two valves punch through it, amongst other damage lol
  12. LOL That car has a lot of baggae attached I believe !!
  13. Nick, A VERY rough guide; On 6 cylinder engines on pump fuel your horsepower goal roughly equals injectors size at 90-100% duty So for 600bhp a 600cc injector is flat out For 750bhp a 750cc injector is flat out Obviously every engine and tune varies slightly, and you dont want to run them flat out anyway, so with that in mind you would build in a little headroom and for 750bhp a 1000cc injector should be comfortable at 75-85% duty Because E85 is primarily ethanol it needs roughly 50% more fuel to reach your horsepower target, so your 1000cc injector would then need to be 1500cc, add to that the fact that you would probably find a bit more power available safely (which is why people use E85 in the first place) with a touch more boost then you can see why ID make 1700cc injectors for their previously 1000cc injector customers !! ID or ASNU would be my recommendation, personally I prefer ID.
