  1. welcome along, good choice on the car i must say ;) looks like youve looked into these a lil bit yes the tte backbox is very hard to comeby but remus make a similar one. the suspension is lowered 25mm on tte springs on slightly uprated shocks (i think) i dont think they have shorter ratio's by the way there is a few other models with rev counters but none with the looks of the SR's tbh theres nothing outstandingly obvious i can think of that you need to look out for. the engine if serviced regularly should last way past 100k the gearbox's are probably the biggest issue, 2nd gear synco can
  2. Or the knee suport, and the design is different, the grey fabric is stitched 50/50 in oposite directions on V recaros ;)
  3. that sucks dude, but woodruff keys are removable i think, cant u just replace that? then get a nice new shiney set of ally pulleys? ;) oh the key should stick up about 4mm or so i think. about the height of the notch on the pulley.
  4. I've seen people walking cats befor lol! Im currently bringing myself to dismantle my car in attempt to see the damage a loose bolt in the cambelt casing can cause....
  5. Ok so ever since finishing my most recent engine swap on my car over a year ago now its been an absolute gem, nothing gone wrong at all. That is until last friday when it desided it would be a good idea to pop a rad hose at midnight! Yeah nice1. So today I set about fixing to to stop it happening again and in doing so notice the crank pulley has a slight wobble, so go check its tight. As I reach in with the spanner I notice a bolt wedged through the cambelt cover between the pulley the oil pump housing! Oh shit im thinking. So proceed to Take the cambelt cover of to find the belts fubar'
  6. sounds like what 4age 20v's do when theyve got a dodgy lambda, might be worth a shot!
  7. usually any old shampoo, makes no difference imo, polish wise i like autoglym but not the srp but the ultradeep shine stuff (for darker cars or something like that) i have to agree it is quite dry and goes powdery but nothing a microfibre cant handle. then some extra gloss protection. no idea how it works but it really brings the metallic out in the 205 black. then go over all the plastics with bumper shine (even in a spray form) on a cloth to stop it getting on the paint work (again im not fussed by brand of this becoz its only for shows i bother) then some AG hd wax, if im going to a show
  8. Turbo it! My friends had one (now actually a subaru justy 4wd) set of pistons injectors ecu. T28 from a 200sx and the usual bolt ons and your talking 250hp + his does 12.4 1/4 miles
  9. 1l metro clubman, as a feild car 1l micra automatic (exdemo) lol was my mums! Great car tho soo much fun Then My 1st car after a year in the micra was my sr
  10. Maybe the relay in the boot under the plastic trim which hides the wiper motor. Its a small blue box, not sure how they work, but I know if its not in there it wont work at all. Most toyotas of a similar age use the same one so might be able to test someone elses 1st?
  11. I've been told numberous times SR's and later spec n/a's come with 256's but mine didnt and a couple of others I've seen havnt either. i made the same mistake but luckily i work in a machine shop so just turned mine to size
  12. Maybe your exhuast rubbers are knackered and allowing excess movement?
  13. Hanging and trying to find a way home as me and some mates are stuck in norwich lol
  14. Ok thats cool let us know when you've got it priced up cheers
  15. How the hell do u get all the driveshafts unbolted in that time lol Either way id like to see that done with a modern engine
  16. Middle=next to handbrake Outside = next to doors
  17. Mine are in the middle and judging by the wear on the seat always have been there ep91 seats by the way.
  18. So theyre completely different boxes to the normal 4age boxes then? The 'E' is usually found on the 3sge engines correct?
  19. Id look into a supercharhed 4agze box its either a c52 or c56 cant remember which the bellhousings should swap over from the fte and if your lucky the driveshafts will fit. I've read threads about people destroying normal 4age boxes with 400+ hp changed to the 4agze box and theyve been fine. Only thing to look out for is if there like the normal ge box 5th gear Tents to pop out on high milage ones!
  20. You can still get tte backboxes?? Theyve been discontinued for ages apparently! £120 for a brand spankers a bargain youd pay that for a good condition used one!
  21. I wouldnt have thought so as nothing turns/rotates in that mount, it maybe antiroll bar D bushes or something under the dash itself.
  22. I've still got the decal kit, I've yet to take it to my sticker guy to get it copied but might do it this w/e. And about the door theres a company alot o people mention sending seats with but I cant remember the name of them.. Lol
  23. Interior light, parcelshelf? Possibly passenger door if its not damaged
  24. Nooooo :'( this saddens me greatly! Glad you're alright tho cars can be fixed/replaced
