UKSCNI hasn't vaporized, just some of us are taking a long starlet sabbatical Wishing everyone all the best! Joz

I think we all did lol! Too good to be true wasn't it

All FTE decats are made for the CT9 turbo flange and are also a larger diameter (2" - 2.25") than the peashooter n/a exhaust diameter (1.75") It would be a waste of money and a bad mismatch to even consider buying one. They are totally the wrong fitment (diameter/flange/angle) The only way is custom (new or 2nd hand) at a reputable and flexible exhaust fabricator or purchase a complete n/a system that is manifold back like my old Fujitsubo which is more extreme.

I'd keep them mate:) Mystery jdm alloys are win, plus they'd look amazing in a metallic respray. Joz

Those markings are just the quality standards and regulations for aftermarket alloys wheels in Japan mate. They won't tell you the brand or make whatsoever besides the fact they were made and branded in Japan My Rays have the VIA marking for example. Welcome mate and good luck! Joz

Rays Gramlights 57Cs only have 5 spokes as opposed to the 6 in the pic The Rays would certainly have the Rays foundry stamp inside plus the sticker would be 'Rays' branded and the dimensions on it for such a high profile, readily available series of alloy. Advan RGs are the other jdm alloy that has 6 straight spokes but they have a different shaped end where the spokes meet at the edge. Even the early RGs are very similar. http://www.350z-tech..._racing_rg2.jpg They look to be a jdm copy of sorts, the 5 and 6 spoke designs are very commonly reproduced and are sometimes different divisions or associates of the original manufacturer. This shows how easily a simple design can be reproduced by a 3rd party company but yours look well used and the jap writing is a dead giveaway - http://shop.microima...W1608.60811.jpg Its like the difference between Spoon alloys, Regamaster Evos and Rota Slipstream, they are the same design (originator or not), different companies. Either way they are a sweet and simple design, can't go wrong with them mate If you know someone who can read Jap they should be able to make out the brand/manufacturers name. Joz

Welcome to UKSCNI mate Looking forward to seeing some snaps of her. Fast & friendly forum on here so you have come to the right place. Joz

There is a set of uprated Ziscos in the classifieds Johnny. They'd be a more worthwhile investment if you havent got a set sorted. Joz

Hi Wayne I'm in N.Ireland bro. Only way would be to send it to Dean in Staffs. Joz

4EFTE Inlet Manifold needed asap please guys Does not need sensors or anything but needs to be in good order (not chipped/damaged or threads busted so that sensors can't be fitted properly etc) Preferably one that's sitting in your garage that you want rid of If near Dean@RW in Staffs even better. Will be painted and modified. Cheers Joz

Bought a used JD lower arm bar from Mike last weekend. It arrived well packed, in good nick and on time as requested. Would very highy recommend him as a top guy to deal with. Fast and friendly service. Cheers bro Joz

The C Pillar Brace would be the one component that has the least amount of benefit or difference in feel. Your hard earned money will be infinitely better spent elsewhere first Follow Amjad's essential recommendations and you can go no wrong in your na suspension tuning. Joz

Sorted

4EFTE Timing Belt wanted please to send off to Dean@RWDevelopments. Please post or pm if you have anything and can send to Deano for painting asap. Cheers! Joz

My step after yours was to map the car (decent mapper of course) from 1 bar to 1.2 bar on TD04 and have the car dynoed. Basically working with the setup at hand rather than upgrading = 257bhp at the fly with standard internals (engine rebuilt 1 year) At the moment 0.7 bar (wastegate pressure) hits 217bhp at the fly at top rpm. But those are all figures really, it all depends how sweet/hard the car accelerates and responds. Off boost is a different story. Sounds like your dyno result is at the fly so at 210bhp there isn't that much feel from experience. Upping the boost will get the best out of the TD04 hands down and you will feel the difference. If you have the budget then forged internals, decent cams, a garrett turbo setup and lastly 5E bottom end would be realistic. This is depending if you have already invested heavily in brakes and suspension mods. Joz

257bhp Blitz DD but its quiet and unintrusive even without the filter attachment fitment. Wouldnt recommend it for noise, only for efficiency plus my intercooler pipe is flanged for Blitz only otherwise I'd have a Greddy. Greddy Type S sounds like the legend of zelda sword slash which is a good thing. Joz

If it was me I'd advertise the Blitz system for sale and put the money towards a custom Zisco 2.5" is optimal for TD04 Matt, you cannot go wrong with that size, 3" will be overkill and you will have axle hitting problems especially if lowered. I run a full straight through race tech system for my TD04 and it runs fine but I'm going to go for a Zisco come MOT time for a 2.5" sports catted system with 3" backbox. As you can see its certainly not shabby but I just fancy a change and yes its around five hundred notes but you certainly get what you pay for. http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?97738-Zisco-Full-Stainless-2.75-quot-Exhaust-System http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?99239-my-zisco-exhaust..-thanks-keith...

Now thats what I'd call some nice progress Not long now John! Joz

No worries mate All of the uprated panel filters fulfill the same purpose. Install and enjoy Joz

I bought mine from the same seller six years ago, it was genuine, legit and worked a treat. Fits the standard airbox of both n/a and turbo engines. You have nothing to be worried about except making sure you get the right part in the post. That price is the going rate for them, they are not meant to be expensive or premium items. Unless you are thinking of jdm panel filters (trd/blitz) and induction kits (apexi/power enterprise) expect to pay a little more, even more so brand new, Joz

No worries man Its not that thick of a tube so you should be able to find a nice mount. Just to confirm mine is an El'sport so all should be good Joz

Very nice man! Glad to see those parts went to a good home! Rocking horse would be proud Joz

Lost Prophets Discography - First album will always be the best though = essential gym music. Joz

Just measured mine for you mate - Its just under 40mm approx 39-40mm give or take. Its not the easiest thing to measure as its not an open tube. So a camera mount that is slightly adjustable around that diameter will work spot on, have done it myself with an ebay cheapie that had loads of adjustment. Hope this helps Joz

Huge congrats to you both Colin mate Surely the best feeling ever is so right. Can't wait til that day comes! Enjoy every moment! Joz
