  1. Got it finally.

    so you got the charger fitted yet then ?

    Charger is in as is all the pipe work and intercooler, had to weld one of the pipes up as it had pretty bad groove worn in it from Nath's A/C compressor. Still using the car for work so just left the throttle body pipe, bypass cable, belt and air box off so I can run around in it. Got a union for my clutch master cylinder coming on friday so I can get the air box on. All set for the weekend though. Can't wait.

    What union ? i have one of the original parts if you need one ?

    Ordered 31416-42020 and got loads of pipe and T-pieces at work. That's all I need for removing the clutch res right?

    yes thats the bit mate :D

    Good stuff, does it just have a thread on one end for the master cylinder?

    No, its held in by the same pin the clutch res is held in place with :winky:

  4. Yes if you read what i post ( you seem to have a problem with this) i have left you quite a few voice messages when i have tried to call you, never seem to take the call, and i have also said why i have called you, you seem to be able to say what you like on the internet about me but not over the phone or face to face, thus making you key board worrier/jockey or what ever, you also need to keep to the FACTS Dave, something you never seem to do, just coz you THINK.... YES THINK i text you don't make it FACT.

    Thats just like me saying you got your wife of the internet, don't know this for a fact so i don't say it, only think it.

    And if you was to ask anyone that was on the German ring trip, you just might find out who made the call, instead of blaming who you THINK it was, if it was me i would have rang you on my phone as i always DO.

    I would post reply to you on your own forums, as you seem to be the only one posting :P and you don't seem to be on there much anyway, think your spending more of your time on other forums than your own :P

  5. that's just confused me even more :yawn: :duh:

    and me !!

    so...Gord is Tom ?

    or... Gord was trying to impersonate Tom

    and.... Gord is trying to sell Toms supercharger ???

    No im not Tom and never have been :whistling: I have seen Tom and so has Steve.

    Yet again Dave has got things wrong, Dave has my number so any text message i would send him he would know it was me, and i have not sent any text messages to Dave on my phone trying to be Tom.

    So on this note, can you please remove my name from Dave's post, and yet again im on the end of one of his child like digs about my spelling.

    I have tried to call Dave lots of times to sort things out, but as you may or may not know, he don't take the calls.

    Yes Gord is selling a lysholm charger for Steve, as Tom did not return to have it fitted, leaving Steve over 2k out of pocket as Tom has tte charger kit, that is Steve's, Steve has waited well over 1yr, and Tom has not been in contact with Steve, Dave also sent Steve a email washing his hands with this project some weeks ago now.

    And just to keep you all to date with things with the facts, Steve still has not been in contact with Tom (as of 19.35 today) as Dave has just post, and is going to give Tom until Weds to get in contact, or he/i will be selling the parts to get back some of the money Steve has lost (over 2k)

    Not sure how you can say its not you Gordon.

    Anyone can buy a sim card to put in thier normal phone.

    The content and syntax of the text messages are in your style and the timing of them and how the content of the many abusive voice messages you left relates to comments made by me to "Tom's " answerphone also point to you.

    The last one "Got you hook line and sinker lol" confirmed it for me. As the lol is a feature of the other abusive text messages you are in the habit of sending me on your "normal" phone.

    The number used in 07596043026 if anyone wants to know. It will go to o2 voicemail.

    At best this latest episode is juvenile it ties in with the abusive phone call and message you left me when you were in Germany. At 1.30 am my mobile rang and when I got to it it rang off …I turned it off…….in the morning there was a message left at 2.30 am where you here Gordon whisper "speak to the ******" there is a pause and you can hear german TV in the background then someone in a broad Scottish accent shouts "HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" that number was 07904****** and I'd wager it was Mr Mole as he was the only Scotsman on the trip to the best of my knowledge.

    Lots of you seem to think of Gordon as some kind of members advocate or consumer rights champion. I see him more as a busybody and playground bully. Hopefully most people reading this will revise their opinion of him.

    oh...final point I will not waste my time responding to any of your abusive phone calls so save your money in future

    Your 2nd line ( Anyone can buy a sim card to put in thier normal phone ) saying it all Dave. And i have a vodafone contract phone, now i don't know about things like this but .... can i put 02 sim card in my phone and it work ? if it may need some sort of code or something, anyone that may know about these things is welcome to check my phone anytime they wish

    I was calling to to talk about the things you have seen saying about Steve and myself in emails to others ........ :whistling:

    Yes i told you to keep out of what i do or am doing, as it is nothing to do with you, as i said it was to do with emails you sent NOT TEXT

    Mat if you wanting to see the emails from Dave calling Steve and myself, please forward you email address as i don't know it. THIS IS FACT IN BLACK AND WHITE.

    And again, if you had a call in Germany from me then why would i not speak to you, as you keep saying that i do, and again it was not my phone number, you say you wager it was Mr Mole, what has that got to do with me ? if you think you know how it is ?

    Now in fact is see Dave is selling the very same things i was selling and he called it illegal (in email i must add) when i was trying to sell them :whistling:

  6. that's just confused me even more :yawn: :duh:

    and me !!

    so...Gord is Tom ?

  7. Hi all, is there many of you going to JAE this weekend, I am thinking of going for one day only with my son, but £25 each seems a little expensive for one day, I need your fedback with your opinions if it would be worth the money for one day out, also where do you guys meet up at the event, Thanks guys, Phil hopefully travelling up from Dartford Kent, and if any one else from down south maybe we could all meet up somewere and travel up in convoy, Good rolling advert for LOC drivers and their cars

    I will be going, if your son under 14yr ? he gets in free :D

  8. so dave organised it, the lad paid dave, dave has not paid steve 4 the work...? all depands what is meant by "thing is most of it was done through prolex"

    sounds like a clear contract breach to me.. i am hoping it was all on paper!

    would still send the lad a registered letter, the french ensure that a registered letter is signed for BTW!

    anyway not really a place to discuss sensitive details - never know who is reading!

    ''sounds like a clear contract breach to me''

    And others mate, including Tom :whistling: poo is about to hit the fan :o well tomorrow :whistling:

  9. Part number from Toyota:

    Rods:

    13201-79085 $185 each

    Pistons:

    13101-88340 $58 each

    13103-88340 for 0.5 oversized!

    My guy who did my engine had originally said he could sell me some used ones for £150 for all 6 rods. before i went for the full conversion

    Thought thats what you said in Germany, funny that Steve saying the same, will have to ask him next time i see him, im sure it was Oldham engines though :blink:

    hang on there Gordon

    one minute you are saying all 6 brand new from toyota are £150......ish

    then you say 2nd hand ones are from a trader are the ones you heard about and Steve brought ??

    make your mind up !

    Not said anything about 2nd hand, Stav did :D i also said '' Not sure if this is 100% or not, please check 1st '' i then said i would ask Steve where he got them from, as i thought it might of been Oldham engines, as i know that is the place that repaired Sam's engine :D i now also know Steve has 5 brand new pistons and rods for the said engine 1G-GTE :D

  10. Part number from Toyota:

    Rods:

    13201-79085 $185 each

    Pistons:

  11. What about 1G-GTE conrods or even better - complete 1G-GTE shortblock??

    Who can supply the short block??

    Not sure if this is 100% or not, but try getting your 1G-GTE conrods from Toyota dealer £150 for all 6 ive been told, please check 1st :winky:

    whats the part number Gord, as i cant find it on the EPC, not for just the rods anyway

    I don't know Mat, all i know is Steve got some from Toyota for engine, i know he would have got at trade price, but on the ring trip Stav was talking about the same rods and getting them for Toyota for about £150 ish :winky: that is a very very good price if its the right price :D

    PS, Place in Oldham can get the rods to, Oldham Engines :winky: Don't tell Dave will you :lol:

    As ever you are wrong Gordon

    Think £150 is for the one...............

    Below is from Thor Racing.....................

    As ever Dave. please read what i said :whistling: but im sure Jeffrosie will thank you :winky:

  12. Any tips from anyone who has had a replacement windscreen? I know about leaking screens causing water to leak in the fuseboxes in the footwell, so I'll be asking the tech to apply lots of bonding on the screen.

    It might be a good idea to have it fitted at one of their centres rather than have a mobile guy do it outside.

    i got quoted over£700 for OEM screen from auto glass just last year, ROBBING GIT'S.

    so i got a copy one from a firm in Lancaster (windscreens direct) for £170 fitted.

    Are you not fully comp?

    yes i am full comp but with £250 excess and my insurer told me i would also lose 3 years no claims

    You need to think about changing insurance then, as most just have excess of £60/70 now, and it don't lose your clams :winky:

  13. What about 1G-GTE conrods or even better - complete 1G-GTE shortblock??

    Who can supply the short block??

    Not sure if this is 100% or not, but try getting your 1G-GTE conrods from Toyota dealer £150 for all 6 ive been told, please check 1st :winky:

    anyway not really a place to discuss sensitive details - never know who is reading!

    Yes it gets complex Rob, but if you know anyone that wants a lysholm charger let me know :D

  15. mmmmm so this lad has the tte kit and has just done one..... thats bad.

    if u had any UK details for him then i would start small claims against him.

    He lives and work in France Rob, thing is most of it was done through prolex, and prolex have now sent email to charlesworth washing his hands of it all (prolex got his money of the lad mind) saying its all my fault Tom has done one ( no that he can prove any of this mind)

  16. any update on this... i am assuming that as the OP has not come back that the lysholm unit was never fitted or finshed and prolex/OP didnt see it thru to the end

    No mate it will not happen, Steve is now having to sell the lysholm charger to get some of his money back for un-paid bills, it been well over 1yr now and no one has see/herd from the chap :o

    Not strictly true.

    I understand Steve and Tom spoke in August 2009 and the matter of the level of noise has not been resolved.

    Again not true Dave :whistling: :o Tom has not been in contact with Steve for over 1 year, he still has the tte supercharger kit fitted to his car (that is Steve's kit) and has not paid anything to Steve at all.

  17. any update on this... i am assuming that as the OP has not come back that the lysholm unit was never fitted or finshed and prolex/OP didnt see it thru to the end

    No mate it will not happen, Steve is now having to sell the lysholm charger to get some of his money back for un-paid bills, it been well over 1yr now and no one has see/herd from the chap :o

  18. No,

    wont fit without custom making all the pipework/brackets etc.

    and theres better chargers out there if your gonna do all that work.

    Stav

    But if you have one and don't know what to do with ?I take it off your hands :D :whistling:

    No i mean, the chagers ok for the IS200 and bolt on kit,

    but if your gonna do custom work to make it fit you may as well start with a better base charger?

    Unfortunately I don't have one for sale bud, but Rolex has!!!

    Cheers for replies Stav, wanted to check first of all and see what you mean, are Vortech one of the better ones to start with?

    Russ

    I know someone with a Lysholm supercharger, looks very much like a tte charger, but much better, it a very good base charger to start with, you would have to custom make all the parts to make it fit, and you would also need some sort of air intake making as its a tad loud, these chargers are fitted to lots of VW's, have a look on you tube under Lysholm :winky:

  19. Don't ask me..................

    I've been getting abusive text messages from an overweight busybody saying the owner is threatening legal action against me (which I've not heard anything from the new owner about BTW) funny thing is the price is £1k than I was paid for it.................if you do buy it sell the timing belt on as its got a HKS uprated one on it which was fitted in 2006.

    Good car though been Nurburgringed, Time Attacked, Toyota Sprint series'd,Track day'd taken to 160 mph on autobahn/autostrada/autoroute and NEVER missed a beat

    Yet again you get your facts wrong :whistling: please forward the said text massage to a member of staff :whistling:

  20. and boy did i like it . i had to be in dundee for the weekend....finished paintin a car on fri night and left kilmarnock about 20past 8.and hit dundee at ten. Not bad timing really......comfy and quick once it got up there.....95 constant........love the car 255 miles to 40 quid not bad i thought

    I hope the 95 constant is your oil temp and not your speed :lol:
