    3sge

    yes its 4k then the vat and then delivery. what an expensive plant they are. that would work out about 8k euro. thats sounds crazy just for a engine. mr singh can you let me know how much you are looking for the head.

    3sge

    hi guys. just wondering if any one on here could let me know where the best place would be to look for a 3sge plant other than japan. and how much i would roughly be looking at for one of these. its for a mates mk2 escort rally car if one can be sourced. would even consider a tuned one if it was available.
  9. yes the return spring is ok. and we checked my car aswell and it just buzzes the same. when it cuts out it kind of pushes the pedal back to you come off it. and then throttel graduly comes back to normal again. but soon as you sink your boot down it revs to 5000 and cuts out.
  10. hi all. mates car has problem in the throttle body aera.when you bog the toe in it the engine dies but no lights come on. and there is a slight push back on the pedal. soon as you lift off again it comes back to its self but it looses sensitivity.when you do this with just the car ignition on you can hear something sticking on like a buzzing and does not release its self untill you switch the ignition off.any ideas what this might be.

    Sick Altezza

    i dont think its the coil packs. i tried one off another altezza and was still the same. it all happend on wednesday night, i was going up a steep hill in second gear betwen 4 and 5 thousand revs and just on the change over of the vvti it smoothly went off a cylinder. there was no warning lights on so i chanced driving home. next day i took the cover and coil packs off to find one of my plugs had blown out and smashed and burned all the bottom end of the coil pack. so got new plugs and went to fit them to find out the threads was gone. so when i sorted that out with a heli coil and got new plug in along with a good coil pack its knocking now and is still off a cylinder.
  21. hi guys need some good advice and probably loads of parts, as topic says my car is not well. to start with its only running on 3 cylinders and is making a nasty nock.there is no warning lights or any thing on and there is no smoke. i think it is in the head some where. any one any idea what would be wrong or whats likly to be broke inside the head. any help much appreciated socks
  22. sorry i did not see your post earlyer same thing happend my altezza the spring broke in the throttle body leaving it stuck full open car reved its head off then shut down any way fella that was doing the work got a spring out of another toyota throttle body of some kind and fixed it so dont think it will take that much to sort yours out 1400 is a bit much to be handing out over the head of a broken spring hope you see this before you go ahead with it
  23. any one fancy a taxi run from milton keynes to towchester would love a spin in a boosted altezza hint hint
  24. ill be heading over to this to with my fellow altezza buddy would be good to see some of u LOC guys motors to.
  25. hi Sean.i think a nice of white ones with a good dish would look the bizz as white wheels on white cars looks good. but as they say different strokes for different folks. :)
