  1. why thank you - combined with what's coming up within October, should make for a sprightly little car
  2. - Update - Zep Racing Decat, Apex-i Voltage Stabiliser, Tom's TECS ECU, SARD RRFPR & Fitting Kit, Oil Catch Can and JAM Actuator all received...update put into first post above specification list
  3. the CR is the "Trackday Edition" S2000...just looks like it's toyed up to appeal to the Boyracer crowd. Would be much better if they let someone with a clue design an Aerodynamically Efficient bodykit...not Fiberglass Massiv LTD.
  4. drove past an R8, one was on display at Le Mans, and several at Goodwood didn't "jizz" myself...must have a dead libido , I hate them (and yes, they have the V8 from the RS4) but they do look striking on the road. M3, almost jumped out of my seat when it drove past at a pub...but to be honest, it's not an M3...the E30 M3 was the only pure car out there. This one looks nice, but...it weighs 1.7Tonnes....
  5. Yes - they're just devices that fool your ECU into thinking you're running less boost than you actually are just so you can run more boost pressure without running into fuel cut
  6. will people stop saying "Private road/track" you're not fooling anyone you lousy F&F wannabes
  7. would you retrim a steering wheel for me in Alcantara? The leather on my Nardi steering wheel is far gone and just completely ungrippy
  8. it's the whole "Fast & Furious" imagery of the Honduhs...they're hated everywhere for the ricer behind the wheel running his mouth about VTaaaaaaaakkkkkkk
  9. c/f on the otherhand is a great alternative...at least then it'd serve a purpose to have that colour
  10. You'll find most people's opinion will be the same - it's one thing to make something standout, it's another to make it look tasteful. The black bonnet isn't terrible, but it stands out for the wrong reason...like you ran out yellow paint A subtle car is a good looking car, something that's made obvious, is just garish. In the end it's your car, if you want to grab attention...well...there's a main group of people it'll attract...Do little detail parts in black, then it'll look good...like the grille, bumper opening blade, smoked repeaters, smoke the rear lenses, blacken the numberplate holde
  11. no, the Black bonnet just looks like something is broken
  12. as if a driving Strepsil sweet wouldn't get attention anyway...Looks better all yellow, looks less like you lost your original bonnet...like the tools driving around with Primer on half the car
  13. his is a quadlight - separate hi and lo beams
  14. 90-99 UK Spec Starlet - doesn't take into account Starlet GT's....can't remember what the quadlight is, I think it could be h3 Bulbs
  15. regardless you need 5efhe rods, you can't stick 4efte rods on the 5efhe crank, it'll mess up the stroke
  16. woops, my bad - thought you wanted to convert a 5efe to 5efte...i should read next time in that case you need: - 5e block - 5e crank - 5efhe conrods (would be nice as they're thicker) - 4e pistons - 5e clutch Go on eGay, there's a couple of Toyota Sera's being broken, try get one of the engines
  17. i had a lot of parts needed for the conversion, but they've been sold now, your loss and no, you'll need a LOT more than the crank and block...: - 4efte Pistons - 5efhe connecting rods (Preferrably) - 4efte injectors & fuel rail - 4efte ct9 turbo - 4efte manifold - 4efte thermostat housing and water piping - 4efte Oil sump/oil pickup/oil lines - 4efte downpipe (can be modified to exhaust) / custom exhaust - 4efte Boost hosing - 4efte Intake hosing - 4efte Oil Filter Relocator Assembly - Intercooler of sorts (4efte TMIC...but need a scoop in the bonnet, preferrably) - Piggyback ECU/Standa
  18. - Update - - JAM Racing Manifold - Zep Racing Decat - Apex-i Voltage Stabiliser - Rare Non-Mappable ECU - Spare SARD RRFPR - Autobahn Oil Catch Can These are all on their way to me
  19. i think he means the small plastic trim under the dash
  20. post Well I shall let you know in a couple of weeks, I need a Manual Steering rack from a Starlet. For the breakers section, what we could do is have "areas"...I'll inspect the Oxford area and anyone in the vicinity can collect from me, or post
  21. well if anyone has a request I'll try and meet it when I'm free, love going to the scrapyard
  22. usually what I do, when I find a useful car in my local scrapyard I post it up and buy the items for any interested people - there was a Paseo in my scrapyard which I've pilfered from that all that's left is a shell of it's former self I also sold someone a Silvertop 4age...it gives me something to do. We had an EP82 in my scrapyard at one point...should've taken the steering rack
  23. meh, I want to keep the heater for the winter months - not for keeping warm, but for the dreaded mist. Also, is the A/C condenser pretty much that huge, errr...for want of a less blonde word....thing on the passenger side of the dash? If so I'll probably take that out tomorrow when I'm bored
