  1. yeah its all included, flywheel and presure plate and all

  4. i've just been offered a new carbon clutch at a very good price! is anybody using one? what are they like? should i take it??
  5. 90915-TA001 is the part number of the filter i use! Toyota only have bout 7 r 8 different sizes anyway! its very likely that the celica runs the same filter
  6. is it possible to have blown a seal somewhere in the vvti system? how would i even start to look for it? is this a job for toyota?
  7. thanks i'll try that! the toyota people have told me to try 0W30 in it an see will that fix it
  8. that is exactly what im tinkin r even a dodgy presure sensor wat should i check first?
  9. i replaced the filter with a toyota 1 today but my problem persists! what do i do next??
  10. i didnt replace the filter! i removed it to replace it but i seen that the 1 i had to replace it wit was the wrong size so i put it back on to get me through the weekend until i could pick 1 up on monday! worked fine until last night then i was givin it a blast down a motorway on ramp near my house when i noticed the drop so i backed off an pulled up straight away!
  11. mine is the same but over 5000 it drops to less than half and i tink it will keep dropping if u dont let off! (dont want to try it) there is no oil leak that i can see an my oil is at the correct level on the dip stick! (Oil only changed friday used castrol GTX magnitec 10W40) could a dodgy oil filter possibly cause this??
  12. i have an oil presure problem! my pressure is fine up to 5000rpm but over 5 it jus drops off down to idle level! whats wrong? what should i look at?
  13. no i have to disagree wit what u say May wasn't a good driver none of the top gear presenters are! i dont mean to sound big headed but have a driving skill problem and im not just modifying for the sake of it i really feel my car could do wit sus to handle better and more power to pull out of corners faster!
  14. I'm by no means experienced in these matters, however my limited experience tells me your approach is all wrong! If your looking for quicker lap times, you need to focus on these three key aeas: 1/ Your driving ability - no matter how good you are, this can ALWAYS be improved, and this is the one thing that will have the largest effect on your lap times 2/ Your tires - spend the money on decent semi slicks, RE055's for example 3/ The weight of your car. Strip it out as much as possible. First thing i would do is go to an Advanced Drivers Course or three at Mondello, get an expert in your car and see what they can do with it around Mondello. This will give you something to aim for! Just looking at the Mondello website, the track does appear to have a few long straightaways. However, cornering skill/ability, braking ability, and acceleration out of corners are all cruicial to good lap times, and none of these things will eb improved by a turbo or supercharger. Assuming you are at the limit of your cars ability in it's current trim, and assuming budget is not an issue, then a full TRD house NA motor would be my weapon of choice, however not knowing what Mondello is like, perhaps a good supercharged setup might be just as quick? *shrugs* If you just want power, turbo is the answer. A well engineered turbo setup can also give the balance of a supercharger setup with less weight penalty. The few turbo setups i have driven were somewhat laggy, hence i favour supercharger, but if your just building a track car, NA all the way IMHO! im not just building a track car! i want a road car dat will be radid on the track an pretty gud to drag 2
