Err, surely they are missing the point of a sequential, to have a smaller turbo that spools up quickly, they are both monstrous!

Just curious as you are local to me, which meet and which person?

500 Quid + VAT + Runners = 800 quid, but are these the seats that were factory fitted?

A parachute?

Could you take some 'current' pictures, both internally and externally. What are the tyres like, alloys in good condition? Seriously seriously tempted!

Kinda puts that bad day at work into perspective Crying shame that someone so young can be taken out by a moment of someone else's insanity. Just goes to show how fragile life is!

I was going to get some Brides for the Skyline, would you say that Recaros are better quality and comfort?

Sounds like what happens in "The Wasp Factory"

Time for a bit of detective work, you know they both play football together, find out who the little guy plays for, get the team roster, get the tits name, get yourself down the pub (or any other well lit, preferably CCTV public area) while he is getting f**ked up by the lads you sent to deal with him. Problem solved.

Hell yes, they raised the little brats, time for some payback

I had one for a couple of years before I got my R34. Fitted a straight through exhaust, sports cat and Blitz induction and it sounded mean, especially after 6k rpm. Mods also helped it rev alot easier and made it easier to keep it in the powerband. Fitted TRD front strut bar and Fensport lowering springs and the whole thing felt so much better, turning was precise and nimble. Thing I never got on with was the 6 speed box, always felt notchy, I had one of the earliest examples though. Do I miss it? Not on the motorway (except fuel bills), but when faced with narrow country roads, it had more than enough power and felt so much smaller than the R34, would like it back again as a second car.

Yup - have been for quite a few years now, I'm a "Games Designer"

Glad you are enjoying it, it was a bloody long slog putting it together, but got there in the end!

Meh, I think MrDriver's looks every bit as good as that, and probably won't rattle anywhere near as much as when that one is back on the road IMO . . Still very nice though!

Maybe, you are certainly not the first to say that, but I'm an idiot who is still saddened by it all. Whether I am just in my little dream world or not, I can only say what I see.

I have reason to believe that Jamie P has his ex-diffs mounted on his wall like hunting trophies at home

Stage 1 upgrades, things work a little differently for Skylines, but no internals admitedly!

Ok, sorry to drag this off topic. I read the thread, to be honest I found it quite painfull to read so many people patting each other on the back. A great many people have agenda's and have lost a huge amount of respect in my (and many other peoples) eyes over their relentless bickering and infighting. I find it so laughable, having read this board for many years, how much of a farce it has decended into recently. This is going to sound pretty bad of me, but I will say that in my experience, that as Supra prices have dropped and they have become more affordable the owner demographic has changed. Not nessesarily for the worse, but now you can buy a TT for 6k, people expect you to be able to double its HP for another 6k. Sorry for the wake up call - but it isnt going to happen, maybe turbofit made promises they couldn't keep. But look at Jamie's car, that had the money thrown at it, and it runs perfectly.

You couldn't have picked a worse example. A redbull can, if properly secured, makes a perfectly adequate catch can! You could spend 200 quid on a wonderfully bling metal box, or you could spend that on getting the cars fueling properly sorted. Sure it won't make everyone go 'oooh' when you pop your bonnet at a show, but spending the money where it matters (especially when on a tight budget) is more important to me.

There is no such thing as a 100% tuned engine! Even the best built tuned engine in the world is still exceeding design tollerences. You cannot measure tuned engine reliability against standard engines. Car companies throw 100's of millions at developing engines and thats why they are reliable, even the best tuning companies work with an absolutely tiny fraction of that budget yet are expected to increase an engines output (of course they have trade offs such as noise and heat, but life expectancy is also one of them). Put it like this, I can think of several instances where people have dropped serious cash at the bigger tuners in this country - 25k+ and had their engine blow up within a week and had absolutely no come back. Kind of puts TF into perspective in my mind.

Albert and Joe when above and beyond when it came to sorting my car out. Despite realising half way through the work that it had had a blow over at some point in it's past they still managed to match the paint perfectly. Red is not an easy colour to match, especially on a 9 year old car that has also had a blow over yet they got it right. Further more, they didn't charge any extra, a real rarity these days. I've had work done on several cars I've owned over the years at various diferent places and I can honestly say that the fitment, colour match and quality of parts is excelent and I will definitely be using them again. Oh, and I refrained from commenting on the Turbo Fit thread, but sod it, in for a penny, in for a pound. Having been to MANY tuning garages around the country and dealt with some right tossers I can honestly say that Greg and Sam were a delight to visit no matter what was being done to my car at the time. The nature of the tuning game is that things will go wrong, people on this board seem to think that the world owes them something and like to whinge when things don't go 100% their way. If you want a reliable car, go by a new Type-R and only do breathing mods. Don't buy a bloody 13 year old car, double its HP and then expect it to last forever, all for a few grand. Bah, I'm f**ked off now, got to find somewhere new to take my car for repairs. *Wanders round room looking for things to kick*

I know its harsh, but the first thing I thought was "If that had happened to me, I really hope they would have messed themselves up badly". Nothing like being in a wheel chair for the rest of their lives to deter thieves.

Obviously those are only the starting prices, but do you actually get to see some genuine bargins go through that site?

How many miles could you expect to get out of that before it explodes?

Do you shop at Tescos Milton? I think I parked up next to your car before, I was in the Red R34!
