Sheefa Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Fingers crossed Jake! What gearbox mount did you go for? I bought a nice Vibra Technics one in readiness for my clutch change shortly. Quality is supposed to be amazing and also not as harsh as TRD ones as rubber mounts. http://www.garagewhifbitz.co.uk/vibra-technics-6-speed-gearbox-mount-3521.html Car looks lovely as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm leaving that up to Lee but think oem will be the way forward for me. Want the car as smooth as oem as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want the car as smooth as oem as possible /QUOTE] Good call. Only went for this as supposed to have similar damping effect to OEM but also eliminates gearbox movement. Price also comes in to it! Can't imagine stock mount is cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Coolio. Yeah got mine direct from VB /QUOTE] Ah OK. Well I will report back on prices . I do love oem parts though unless there is a genuine reason to deviate from Toyota I will always stick with genuine. Just like the fact they are tried and tested for 20+ years.

JasonR24 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Good luck with your car mate, It's in good hands. I agree on the OEM front, unless it's something thats an obvious upgrade then OEM is great. I went with Chris Wilson calipers pistons on my brake rebuild for example which I'd recommend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate, indeed its nice having it somewhere where i can genuinely relax about it being there. Know it will be looked after properly, and with everything going on at home atm that car not being here is ideal as i have the garage free If it come to refurbishing the calipers themselves I may go CW, already have his pins on the fronts. You coming to wroxall be good to catch up again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burna Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Yeah fire me over a message on what Lee found when you have a minute please mate. Haven't messed with mine yet to be honest, been fine sometimes again, other times not, probably wont get time before Wroxall. Bear has kindly offered to give me bits to swap over and try, so I'll wait for your message and then ask him to bring some parts to Wroxall so I can try and swap things over and narrow it down .

ripped_fear Posted June 29, 2017 Author Share Posted June 29, 2017 Little update apparently the cars alignment wasn't in a great way probably from our appalling roads, so shes having a full geo to set that straight. The guys are having issues with the abs/trac warning lights and trying to track down the issue, hoping i will have a good update today as it was a little concerning yesterday Yeah fire me over a message on what Lee found when you have a minute please mate.
