these took just under a month to arrive i was told they would be posted out with in 2days but 2 weeks later there was still no tracking details so emailed to kick up shit got them posted next day from states took 12 days for them to arrive from then but for the pistons and scat rods it cost me £697 delivered to my door from states so cant complain still need to get pile more parts anyway

dont have any tools to measure them properly but the report does confirm they should be 74.5mm just wasnt quite sure did your pistons come in a box? my rings and pins did but the pistons just came in the ross paper

pistons finaly arrived today and on the box with the rings it states there for 74.5mm as requested but when i was having a look at the picture inside it has 74mm stamped into it?. to be fair doesnt look like they could fit 74.5mm on there as the space is pretty tight but dunno if am just being paranoid or they have sent me wrong pistons but correct rings. wont be till next month they go to a machine shop so just looking for some conformation if they are correct or not as i only have so many days left to complain if they are wrong

fucking wankers is all i have to say have had to chase them away from my car when i was at work once.

i love the gauges but fuck me do u have to be insane to pay that for a set of gauges

I've herd they can be a total ball ache to fit but once on they seem todo the job fine

what a legend lol. some reverse trolling there

most people no he wouldnt damage it and would take care of them for lending it but its the fact there so rare if they lend it to him they part wouldnt be as rare its much like the cruise bonnets they were only 2-3 of them and all the owners decided to keep them rare by not lending them out. now he has managed to get his hands on one theres alot more of them floating arround making the "wow" factor alot less. much like toms spats and sideskirts i want for my car i always search the jap sites looking for a set and still not found any and if i ever did even tho i no iddy would offer me a great

have u mentioned it before? i was under payed by my last job for all the overtime kept having to remind them and after a month they finaly got it sorted needless to say am with another company now.

as far as am aware hes been keeping his eyes out for a tte spliter but the ones that pop up people want stupid money for so he would never actauly make any profit. and the people who do have them no there rare so dont want to lend them to him to make copys

i got a halfords pro tool kit bout 3 years ago and it was worth every penny pretty cheap for what ive found to be flawless quality

looks realy nice far to many people breaking lately

positive someone was looking for one the other week there. http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?97075-For-Sale-Toyota-Starlet-Glanza-Rear-Strut-brace

ive seen forged engines with less than a few k miles on them go for cheaper lol

good news about the insurance hopefully if u do as much of the work as u can u might end up with a few quid left over for the trouble. happened to me with my civic i ended up +£450 for my hastle lol

hoping to start of with 1.6bar on a td05 when engines forged to see what i can push but wonder what the limits of the arp headbolts are. and what would be involved if i went down the head stud route

tbh its worth speaking to who u plan on getting to map it. the maps only as good as the tuner regardless of system so find the best mapper u can and have a word with them about what they would sujest

went passed petrol station today and it was just massive ques and at same time they were saying on radio they wont be striking till after easter if they strike at all lol

spoted this on bidjdm not seen one before lol http://www.bidjdm.com/bidding/auction/view/id/h143831933

better not ha thats colour i want mine in

the valve springs restrict the rev limit more than power from the turbo i think.am going to pick up a td05 for mine time i get it maped be cheaper in the long run to just get the turbo at the same time the engines done

down to you mate but there £320 from hongkong and u might get hit by import tax. theres no feedback about them or the company and there claims about what they can stand is highly unlikely. drop idrees a pm and ask him for a price on a set of pec rods look at the price diffrence and ask urself its its worth risking your engine going bang and the time and money it will take to sort it out if it does. and rember import tax is 20%+ so u migt end up paying more for these unherd of rods than a set of tryed and tested pec rods from iddy

if i were u id spend a bit more and get a decent brand or atleast some proven good feedback. they will only be a cheap set of rods if they stand up to the job if they end up failing it will end up costing u far more. buy cheap buy twice as the saying goes

trees on one side and water on the other work in the middle of nowhere lol

u need to swap the rack over to a non powersteering rack if u just unbult the pump and pipes it will go stupidly heavy steering
