mattyD

thinking of importing a couple of bits from japland but am a bit in the dark as to what kinda import charges id be hit with?? have had a little read of some articles and a couple of them say that theoretically, if the part cannot be obtained at all in the uk then you should not have to pay any kind of import charge. is this true? if so, how could i prove that i couldn't get the part here?

Thats fair enough mate, it was purely to see if the interest was out there and by the looks of things everyone has got the the same point of view as you and idrees so i may just knock it on the head! looks like im going to have to buy the bullet and spend lol! but as you say, safety is much more important than saving a couple of quid I'll leave to the clever industrious little fellows that hail from the motherland ;)

yeh they would be tested mate, i wouldnt want them if they werent tested! im not trying to run a group buy, its purely just putting the idea out there to see if any one would be interested and then il see if i can move things forward

Looking to be about £100 I think mate and will be an exact copy

lol, well that would be up to peeps to decide me personally, i dont care! so long as the seats fit and work on the rails fine thats good enough for me plus they would be a bit cheaper than the real thing ;)

As above guys, been looking into different ways of fitting some seats and the only conclusion i have come to that i would be comfortable with would be to get some rails specific to these seats. Zep ones are silly amounts but have found some one who could be willing to make some for me, so this is just a little interest thread if you like to see if anyone else would be up for a set?

no worries mate, i found some zep low position recaro rails so they could be perfect for these seats if they fit! i might investigate..................... the windy bit doesnt effect me to much either, it pisses me off anyway cuz over time the position of the seat always moves (maybe i need to lose weight) so at least it would stop this happening? so long as they will slide forward and recline il be happy

Lol, nice one mate I think I might have a practice on the passenger seat first hehe! If all else fails though, could I just buy some ep91 recaro rails and these would just bolt straight to the seat, no quetions asked?

Looks good mate so the rails on the recaro's aren't fixed at all? If all I have to dois pretty much swap all the frame over and drill a couple of holes, surely it can't be to difficult did they still act like normal glanza seats after the swap? As in slide forward/recline etc?

Lol, not what I wanted to hear to be fair what exactly did you have to do mate?

as above guys, anyone done this before? what was involved?

phaha, no chance of that mate! im having a manifold kit made up for me now! if the hybrid fucks up, il just go td12 i think

i like where is your air filter though bud? as im running an hks filter at the front where your wastegate seems to be

the one i need bud has to be a tial mvs mate as the flanges have been welded to my manifold

ive done a couple of bank transfers to traders but thats it, i wouldnt do it for any randomer! get him to setup paypal or as said pay for the parts on collection

lol, so many threads about the whole its bad/but there is no real evidence etc as you said, seeing as though im only running .7 through a ct9 hybrid i very much doubt it would cause much damage if any! im sure people are running hefty turbo's without a B.O.V and have had no problems?

so what do you think? black? silver? lol, tooooooo many choices

lol, so you dont run both now? do you get a bit of chatter? how do you find the response when giving it beans?

they look standard to me mate, just painted i think

lol, i feel for the kid! and it sounds as though that is the gearbox i was gna buy! thank fuck i rang that bloke and he didnt seem to have a clue what he was on about otherwise that box would have been mine and id be the one fuming! kinda proof that they arent to be trusted

do you have a boost gauge?

i might have the headlights aswell mate when i come up depending on funds ;)

possibly......................................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm suspicions

168 at 1.2 on a tdo4 is really low mate :S ct9's get more than that

lol, as in the dont boost around bit ;) that would also work
