ahh thats sounds promising ill hopefully get away with using the compressor. ive bought a tool that was made for doing the valve stems this way and have a magnet to catch them but i think ill block all the oil ways to be safe i really cant be assed removing the sump ha! -
have you spoke to the mapper to see what they think? possible you have accidently knocked your fpr or something and uped the fuel pressure? other than that id think air temp sensor/ water sensor/ lamda/wideband could throw up issues that would cause this

looks good mate. the bais valve in a nice handy wee addition mines up in the bay which is a pain but i was to lazy to re-run all the lines ha! what was the leakage like using the compressor? am doing my stem seals next week with the head on but only have a small compressor not sure if i should stick with the rope? -
I run d2 brakes which are the same as ksports but running 2mm spacers Same wheels as urself

Looking smart I woulda been all over those seats if they were a matching pair! Can't stand miss matched seats does my head In ha!

Aye there sadly shit for any decent braking I'd loom at either he Celica upgrade or a nice 4pot kit
-
Am having the same issue with mine at high speeds it's away to a specialist to be set up so interested to see what he says is the problem
-
As above I've got a wee duel core civic rad and it keeps temps perfect only really hot days and idling for a long time does it actusly rise to a point the fan kicks in

Aye can do mate to be honest theres not much to it. Once it's paid they arrange for it to go on a boat then it's just a case of painfully waiting with the ships info you can track it all the way round the world tho ha! Think I checked it almost everyday! Mine got stuck In Ireland for a few days because of bad weather the wait nearly killed me!

Yea I done a guide for it awhile back but am on my Phone right now. Sure it was called a brief guide to importing . Your looking at around 25% in import tax and there's some paperwork to handle you can do it urself but trying to speak and get confirmation is a total nightmare I ended up paying an agent at the docs like 100quid to handle it all basically ment I could just send a transporter to collect the car soon as it was past customs. Only thing to watch is make sure you U have all the money sitting if you cant pay on time you'll likely lose the car talking to a guy that does it and he said

would you take £20 posted? am not fussed on tolerances am gonna stick them in the living room with the rest of my stuff ha! -
certainly not matt just a comment made in jest as marcs knowledge of wheels is scary ha! if hes offended by it id happily edit it

its really minimal but should increase spool. you bascily want the exhaust gasses out of the exhaust as fast as possible to make space for the new gases. as the gasses cool down they slow down aswell. i could be wrong but as i understand it its not really back pressure presure you dont want its exhaust gas velocity you want to maintain. back presure is just a bi-product to try explain althought it really applys to n/as more the exhaust gas velocity creates a slight vacuum to help almost suck out the exhaust gasses from the combtion chamber. think of it like pulling your hand through the wate

ha a wise man! selling a set of wheels on ukso with out marc mosses approval is never a good idea hes basicly the wheel police of ukso. one of the pictures of the wheels should contain a sign saying "marc moss approved" anyway goodluck man!
-
its time to await the verdict of the resident wheel nazi marc moss as to weather or not these wheels are priced correctly!

just go full track slag and have it on a switch on the dash

I've had a few pulls for my exhaust it comes in at 98dbs I argu the toss it's a grey import so the noise limit should be 99db. one got the hump pretty badly and said it didn't matter so I asked for a traffic officer he got even more pissed of and traffic officer came down explained why I belive mine to be legal and the traffic officer said he had to agree with me since am From a small wee town i asked if it was possible for them to notify the local police that I had been spoken to and my exhuast was legal to due to the type of car I had and the guy said provided his boss was happy he would do
