  1. Chrome, this ties with the rear lights and wheels, in addition the Rhino would look vg in the red chrome ← I think thats the one Mat, the white can be cut using the Pearlescent vinyl which will contrast really well against the blue paint, the the rest of the vinyl can be "as seen", but dont forget that you get "issued" with a door stack for the UKD1 which could hide a fair amount of the door.
  2. Yeah, just do it, turbo or SC, it dont matter, so long as you do something. Come into the dark side my son, where those of us who have been cursed wander aimlessly in circles trying to think of something else to do to our cars without thinking about bills, food, girlfriends, wives, christmas presents for our children or anniversaries......... Ive been in the darkside that long I cant see my way out of it now - and Im looking for another "sensible" car to play with now
  3. Some of you with SC may have noticed that the MAP sensor sometimes causes the car to judder alot, especially when the throttle is floored. Im wondering whether it would be worth changing the current MAP Sensor to a 2-bar MAP Sensor from a Celica GT4. Would this work OK without disrupting the ECU? Maybe some of our resident technical wizards would know. Mr Catchpole????, Mr Clawley???
  4. I think maybe there could be a few mods needed on the gte lump as they are mounted in the car at an incline so the sump and oil pickup would need putting right, but then again, you probably already knew that.
  5. good point, this is why im asking for Marks opinion, however, the JGTC Supras were running 3S-GTE engines longitudely. i personally see no issues, the engine bolts up perfectly to the IS200 6 speed gearbox ← Really, the 3s-gte will bolt directly to the standard 6 speed box? Will the box take the power? Now thats interesting if it will :winky:
  6. I would go for the celica lump. Basically parts are easier to find, plus you dont need to do extensive work to unleash the power, just a few tweeks and shes good for about 330, plus the one you have in mind has history, yet the tezza one has none, which is a risk. We helped sort a customer with a few bits - celica GT4, mongoose exhaust, decat pipe, Apexi valve controller and a fuel pressure regulator, its now running 330bhp and 18psi, which is aboout at its turbos max and the bottom end is nearing a danger zone. The tezza lump is a straight forward mod, but as you know is alot more expensive to get anything from it. With the whole project possibly costing a few quid anyway, I would go with the celica power plant as replacement parts are a damm sight easier to source. Thats just my opinion
  7. Wizards Pulsoids are the ONLY ones designed to pulsate and operate as they do. Other solenoids do not work for very long. any other solenoids are supposed to be fully stripped and serviced after only 6 minutes of use. thats what it says in the original manual ! The materials the internals are manufactured from cause excessive wear as they are metal to metal, and they stick in the open position frequently. I know of several users of other brands who have had engines pack up due to this. be very careful.
  8. Just thought I would ask the question. Is there anyone here that deals with CCTV Equipment? I am in the market for a Wireless CCTV System to cover the new workshop and Offices. I will be needing several cameras for inside and outside with Infra Red, PIR Trigger to record (either PC or VHS) etc etc. Possibly upto 10 cameras.
  9. The boost and EGT are £275 standard boost and temp are £150. If you think about it though, thats 2 gauges. You will pay 80 quid for a quality one without any sensors !! No probs though, not trying to sell you one, just thought i would mention it. Also, you may struggle to find a standard gauge with the low scale. Let us know if you cant find anything, as we also do the full Mocal range
  10. Have you thought about an SPA Design Gauge, thats what I use. Duel Digital readout; mines a boost and EGT, backlit, very accurate self scaling. fits any 52mm pod and comes with all sensors and loom
  11. My Sensor is tee'd into the bottoom pipe and works fine
  12. Have you got the lex going then pete ← Yup. But not on track, I might break it again
  13. Woah, that must be about the nicest thing to come out of america since, since, well I dunno. By eck, shes a cracker. Want One :P
  14. yer but.......no but,...........yer but, well errrr, yes, suppose I have really, new rocker cover, all new coolant hoses, new thermostat, one or two other bits.....you know me dave !
  15. Well, its back together, but I have a problem. I took it for its maiden voyage only to find that: 1. The water temp gets hot very quickly. 2. Lack of Power 3. loud rattle/knock from one of the valves I think. 4. Bit too smokey for my liking. 5. Oil Pressure is low, the gauge is reading 13.2lb on tickover. 6. When at junctions, she stalls. 7. Boost pressure still in minus figures when engine under load Not a very good start Im afraid, and Im stuck as to what could be causing it, Im hoping its something simple, Im wondering if I replaced the Thermostat the right way round ! How do I reset the ECU? Aido told me, but I can remember what he said !!
  16. We thought about that and came to the conclusion that using the same colour is just the same as what everyone does. We wanted something just a bit different, so coloured sponsor logos running horizontally along the bottom to inject a bit of colour without detracting too far from the main body graphics seemed to be the key. Once you have seen the completed car, you will understand what I mean.
  17. Well, the gauges have been ordered, should be here sometime early next week. Ive opted for the SPA Design Digital Duel Display. Combined Oil Pressure and Oil Temp, and the combined Boost and EGT, both with while fascias ans blue illumination.
  18. have a laugh at this one: Nunchucks Looks like someone we all know :D
  19. Just imagine what that poor lad felt like, holding a capfull in his mouth for 5 minutes. The poor lad was sweating, tears rolling down his face. He was in pain, you could see it. How much did he get for doing it, was it 100 quid, I cant remember. Whats next for JAE 05, I know, lets stick pins in someones eyes for £100 :D
  20. er hum, Aido, I seem to remember a few pics of someone on someones car at an unnamed Japanese car show last summer, oh and I seem to have a video kicking about somewhere of someone messing about drinking some stupidly hot sauce...........remember !
  21. Im known in these here parts for speaking my mind, and Im proud of it, I operate 3 reputable businesses, and I am proud of our achievements, including Quality Assured ISO9001, Business Award Winners, European Accreditation etc etc. I think, and Im pretty sure there are a few that think the same, that you are plugging services on this forum, without having any form of "Authorised Trader" status. Authorised Trader Status is something you need to apply to the management for. What I would like to know, is why a Moderator hasnt picked up on this . Im not bothered directly by the fact that services are being plugged, just at the principle of it, as we, aswell as a few others, have to pay a fee to plug our wears on the forum, especially when you mention vinyl graphics and design, which means you have trod on my toes, and these toes have been paid for ! If you think that I am "spitting my dummy out" because you announce yourself as competition, then you are wrong. I love competition - because I know that our corporate structure is flexible enough to cope with competition, and can beat hands down any other on any level playing field. Incidentally - we are the ONLY company of our nature to have a quality assurance accreditation to ISO9001:2000, which is internationally recognised. I see that you are also going to be involved in the QA aspects of these companies, to what level I ask? Plus, what I would like to know, as I am very interested, is why several if not loads of top class companies who have countless years of experience within their scope of expertise, would choose someone with limited experience effectively to "head-up" their organisations. Im sure there will be alot of interest in your "services", and I wish you the very best of luck.
  22. We are looking at the possibility of polishing a set of Lexus 18" rims, just to see what they look like. We like the idea of polishing them and the recesses in the spokes having a vinyl insert, possibly coloured similar to the car. Im just waiting to take my original rims off again when the Mania's are finished and we shall have a go with one. The trouble with it is that if the rims are kerb rashed, you cant fill them like with chroming or powder coating as you will see it after polishing. Once we have had time to do one, I will post pics and a price per set. Its all down to time really.
  23. Well, Ive come across a problem, which I thought I should share with you all, just in case you decide to do something similar. We tried to polish the cap-head bolts which are in the 18" Mania Vermont rims, and guess what - they're plastic and they have melted Ive spoken to Mania in Liecester, and they can get some more - around August time . So I think I may have to extract every one of them (14 per rim) and tap the holes out and fit some alluminium ones. Apparently, there are alot of aftermarket split-rim look-a-likes that use chromed plastic bolts for cheapness. If anyone is thinking of polishing their spilt rims - check them first to see if they are metal, otherwise it will end up being a time consuming job.
