  1. Intrested whats the widest tyre I can fit on the back of these
  2. Looking good, I love the videos first I have seen of Pauls kit in action I cannot wait to finish mine now this has given me that push of enthusiasm needed . Also has your rev limit been raised?
  3. No worries mate , there is not a picture of a bonnet but in the thread title it says @ a bonnet so guess he has one
  4. Hes got one for sale http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?242329-Seats-Engine-Parts-Spoilers-amp-a-Bonnet , if not mate you can borrow my stock sliver one I am only just down the road from matt's but I would want it back so on loan only.
  5. some guys repsonse on PH to this sounds like a lambo owner to me , lol 2k miles and it needs a 5k clutch "I guess you have to own an early Gallardo to appreciate how unreliable the electrics were, how chocolate the clutches were and how many times it used to go into "limp home" mode and close down one bank of cylinders. If Lambo London (was it Stuart?) was to be believed, the clutches were not under warranty (2000 miles - £5k and change for a new one) and the reason the cylinder banks would cut out was something to do with a sensor in / near the wheel arch and it was not waterproof. The interior door handle and rear view mirror kept falling off. The pistons in the rear calipers kept seizing. Batteries and electrics were rubbish which resulted in shorts and flat batteries weekly.....and much more. Mine was a very early LHD brought from Germany. I had it for one month. If I was on my own on a desert island (with no one to judge me) and I had a sledge hammer, I would have smashed it to peices many times over (obviously a hypothetical scenario). I hear they're better now; but whilst not condoning this guys actions, I can understand his frustration. Lamborghini Gallardo - literal translation; Made out of recycled Raviolli tins."
  6. Do a search on the forum I had mine made I can not remember but someone on here posted up cad drawing cost me £30 to have the tool made at a local metal workers.
  7. Have you used one ? do they come with the reverse lockout ?
  8. 2nd that , I sold my r154 manual conversion full kit pedals cyclinders etc 2years ago was advertised for ages got 250 quid for it in the end
  9. Yea I did not mean buy that one but was just a example of price
  10. Cheap enough in the UK http://pistonheads.com/sales/2304345.htm
  11. I will have it mate , pm me your pay pal address and I will sent payment tonight.
  12. Best bet is to declare everything if you are going fully comp , a friend of mine had accident with his r33gtr he went up the back of someone they changed details and he managed to drive it home he only declared half the mods and that next day the insurance came and picked the car up he managed to take his defi gauges out etc that previous night but big brake kit ,carbon bonnet, coilovers all went with the car as he did not have stock ones to fit nor would he of had the time to if he did, anyway after a few days they said it’s a right off and this is what we are giving you for it and have settled with the 3rd party etc and he said I want my car back they came back with its our car we don’t allow you to buy it back of us you will have to bid for it on some auction site !.
  13. I got mine from demon motor sports I saw it on ebay cheap and took a chance , I was not happy the way it was bolting up at first but after speaking to Paul at Whifblitz who has fitted both seemed to think they are pretty much identical but the best would be a virtual works etc but he did give me the idea to weld , so I got mine welded directly onto the runners that way it all bolts up in one and I dont have to worry about leaks etc as for performance dont know yet car is still being built.
  14. Not quite you have to send them your parts and they lay a carbon fibre weave over just like what this bloke is doing here in the video of a car mirror.
  15. Hi mate is it a copy or a real greddy ?,if its the copy I have a few tips for you . I was going to sell it and buy a real one but after speaking to Paul that has fitted both there is nothing in it so I have stuck with it.
  16. I had a similar problem a while back even bought a brand new brake cylinder from toyota and it still didnt work turns out I had the calipers mixed up left and right :blush:make sure the bleed nipples are at the top.
  17. Thanks for the advice JB off to hunt out that video :-)
  18. Thanks Johnny , yea it comes with loom and ecu never knew they were drive by wire!
  19. A friend is selling a complete 99 spec vvti with 78k on the clock tempted as its a newer block and the vvti ,or be a good spare in the back of the garage just in case my single finishes my engine off. I have had a quick search but could not find the answers I am looking for ; Are these defiantly better and worth having over the older lump? How much on a rough figure does a complete vvti engine sell for as I am not sure what to pay for it ? Can I use aftermarket intake like a greddy ? ECU's as I guess the power fc would not be designed for the vvti what is ?
  20. How about a evo ? lots of goddies and looks clean http://pistonheads.com/sales/2080520.htm
  21. Hi mate will drop you a pm
  22. As the title I am after a TT shell
  23. with removing it would it be safe to have one of those Anti-surge compressor housings ?
