  1. well got these lurvley alloys, but they're getting a touch worn. want to get them refurbished so dropped into an alloy place, quoted £180 per wheel:blink: . now i know they're blitz 18" and i think they maybe split rim but f**k me is that the going rate!!! dont suppose anyone knows of a better / reasonable place /price to get them done. Cheers Rob S

  3. just had the coil and plugs checked on my car, but when taking the connectors off the bloo*y plastic clips disintergrated in my fingers. i dont suppose anyone know what and/or how i combat this? is it a case of just buy new catches? or is it more involved cheers Rob S
  4. right then paid out for the dsbc spec r so that i could have eace of mind when tuning the turbos. installed as mentioned in the tech section, of great help so thanks, but for some reason after i plugged it in and joined it all up it dont seem to work!!! i get the reading of the vacuum so that works , plus the car starts so theres no prob there, i have followed all the settings in the manual gain 5%, 1=54%, 2=58%, 3=63%, 4=75%, lkimiter on to 1.5bar etc, but when i change mode the boost level does not increase, hhhhhhheeeellllpppp. what the f*ck have i done wrong??? Cheers Rob S

  6. its that time of year again when i get int into my tiny mind that i can actually fix my car!!! could someone give me some info on where best to get standard bits, i need a fan belt and oil filter, any ideas please. cheers Rob S:confused:
  7. just a few silly questions for the unfortunately dumb me.!! firstly, do u use emanage with an AEM system or are they alternatives? if they are, apart from SMALL change in price what are the limitations? is there a point where e-manage is limited to, has anybody reached it? CHeers Rob S
  8. cheers everybody, and yes i remember you gordon, hows the mr2 runnin. now back to the job of earning the needed cash. later,, Rob S
  9. Got an FCD cause was runnin 1.2 beore all this started. when i got the money obviously want to upgrade the whole doing a bit at a time when funds become available so eventually probably want to upgrade the engine and maybe push up the boost. does this mean cough up for a decent controller now and be secure in the fact that its not money wasted or what??? Cheers for the info, keep it comin, Rob S shes Jap, soon to be De Cat
  10. right then, i have a boost gauge and bleed valve, do i need a boost controller as well??. prob is i was told i should run the 1.2 bar but i seem to run 1.2 in 1st and 2nd, then 1.3 or so in 3rd, then she flies up to 1.4-5 in the next 3 gears. soon to get a full de-cat done and since ive been having a few probs wih the exhaust at the mo, too many unfortunate problems to list just leave it at im feeling really unlucky, will she quieten down once a full system is in place. have had friends ignore good advice about boost and heard the stories so am really concerned. itts just so hard to not just put my foot down but have to keep an eye on the gauge to stop the OB. plllleeeeaaaaassssseeee help, Cheers Rob S

Got a nice pic so judge for urself!! Hope its helpful Rob S

    i need a outdoor car cover, anybody got any ideas/ suggestions on who and how much??? even tho got a garage is a bit full and under possibility of collapse at any mo. cant have that now!! so any info would be greatly received, cheers Rob S
  14. hey boys and girls, mine was the black supe, could resist parking next to everybody, sorry it werent so clean, esp compared with the ryl saph blue with gold badges (i got to get me some of those!!) but how the hell did u get there with ur motors still that clean!! i went straight from my girlfriends in mk but she was working fri night and we didnt get home till 1ish so we got up late!, meant no dis but shes never been before and we both had work for 6 sat night so when we rolled in about 11am, i clokced the numbers but we just didnt have time to dawdle so it typical supe fashion we motored round the whole park at warp speed doing most of the semi decent rides. unfortunately since my girlfriend still had the big V she wasnt really up for the big uns but fancies breaking them i next time. lewis, u were close on the kiddies day, i followed in a coach load of them and the park seemed pretty but not totally full, not a bad call. must admit it was fun roaring between all those little rude boys who thought they owned the road, most satisfying coasting up behind them then giving it a juice and watching them jump!!!! nearly as much fun as a few of the rides. anyway my trip was short lived but cool. cheers for organising the tickets. we actually plan on going back within the season to capitalise on the half price jobbies we got when we finished, plus a few friends fancy going to. thanks for a good day and well done with the anti-rain chant (it held off till the way back home), must have been u not allowing it to ruin ur arrangements. will definately have to catch up next time. (toyo) Rob

  17. hello everybody, right now the formalties over with HEEELLLLPPPPP!! i've just encountered a major problem with my concept 600, it was stunnin when working but its now turned into a nightmare!!. first i had a problem witht he fog light, didnt work, thought it was just a elec fault and was waiting for time to have a look and discover the problem. then the turbos started missing, it either worked perfectly when i started the car or it popped, problem was it would work fine for hours then id turn off the ignition, start it up not two minutes later and it would start. then it blew off the standard plastic bleed valve then, i was changing the radio a kenwood for a kenwood when the battery live to the radio was only kicking out 2 Volts!!!! jury rigged up the igntion live into both inputs on the radio so i had some music till i could get it into a toyota dealer. finally puttign the panels back, at 3am after starting at 9 that morning - was putting amp and wiring in tho, and lost the turbo time, heating matrix - or whatever u call the dial and bits for the fan, and now am getting the front spoiler ramndomly lowering and raising, the andbrake light appearing and disappearing and other random elec faults. now for the biggest problem: i live by stansted airport and the two nearest official clifford retailers wont help, one dont touch clifford no more and the other has a car spark work only for short periods and wont bring him in to check the car. please could someone tell me a.) is there a lifetime guarentee on those things b.) does one of you esteemed patrons happen to be a car spark god who could give me 30 mins to get the problem figured out and sorted. cheers Rob
