Please correct me if im wrong , the cars that the engine failed all had a HKS V-Pro and was mapped at TDI , nuff said , the HKS V-Pro is the "rolls royce" ecu , bad maps brake engines .

Do anyone know if Seibon has reduced there prices yet ?

well i will be interested. i am trying to organise a group buy aswell. well my cousin a offical seibon dealer phoned up seibon and they are £480 at the moment but going to be cheaper in a few weeks.

i am not too sure if there are going to stop doing the bonnet as most stuff they sell are going cheap.

i am expecting around £400 mark if there is 5 people.

sounds good to me :D , i think there is 3 of us so far .

without the group buy you can get them for £400 micromarc has one and so does vvprotocolvv and they paid £400.

how come they've got so expensive?

can you please tell me where they bought them from and how long ago , thanks .

Gauging interest , if any body is interested in a group buy for a carbon bonnet for an IS200/300 :) 2 bonnets so far , please put your name down , the price new from seibon is £540 , but i have seen them cheaper £528 , seibon are reducing there price's in a few weeks time so i will shop around then and hope they are cheaper and i can ask "how much discount for ** amount of bonnets , these bonnets are expensive but are the best made for the price , be prepared to pay £400 plus .

It's nice to know that you still have the car and its running well , i hope to see you at a meet sometime :D

Nice work guys, bet your happy Dave.

What manifold is that you've got ? could you pm me details please :D

Its one SPC are now selling Ellz,

From the look of it its bulk made in the far east as the welds are machine welds.

Well it is hand made , one of three , and hand welded :D , just putting the record straight .

Hi , just a small update , my car is at SPC Horsham having it's new engine installed and a few other bits and bobs , hopefully it will be ready for JAE :D , i've been driving the SPC turbo test car for five days and its very very good :D

This years band for Friday night looks good too they are called Hipster and cover a huge range of music from The Beatles to The Arctic Monkeys with a bit of the Zutons & The Who thrown in as well & as usual there will be the Saturday night D.I.S.C.O. going on too :D plus lots of good food, drink & fun of course

I had a pair of Hipsters once :D

Who makes the best fitting carbon fiber bonnet for the IS200 ?

Exciting and exhilaration , is what i felt driving alone before my test :D

Well done mate , welcome to the world of luxury and perfection :D

That looked like a cracking lap Barry , i'm glad all your hard work has paid off and you can have a car to be proud of :D

Just got back home from a wonderful day at the "pod" , great weather , cars , and other nice things to look at , it was good to meet up with the regular "posse" again , and it was good to see the new "skylex" or was it the "lexline" :D
