i use 5/40 fully synthetic. brand depends on your budget really just try keep the services regualar

ha i wasnt commenting on your car. you said you cant base that your running lean based on the smell of fuel and black plugs. you have it the wrong way round rich is to much fuel lean not enough

running rich*

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

As above the Ecus not really much use to you far better with a standalone

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 there's basicaly a few places around the uk that are just filled with cars that are in limbo because they weren't payed for on time so can't be collected or anything done with them. Don't let that put you off if your keen with money ready it's a great way I got mine no Hastle at all aside from the uk paperwork until I have it to an agent todo. The car was superb and I got it at a really decent price sadly sold it to buy my house which I regret atleast once a week ha!

ahh am not to fussed i wanted a blue one but ended up with silver not the end of the world! just wanted to double check there wasnt an online shop selling them i totaly missed ha!

looking perfect mate! where did u end up getting the oil cap from?

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 water in the bath as your hand pushes though the water the water has to rush to the back of your hand to fill the void your hand has just created the faster your hand moves the bigger the vaccum created to fill the void behind your hand. obviusly theres alot more to it than that but as a rule of thumb for an n/a you want a correctly sized exhaust ( not to big not to small) and try keep a decent heat into to keep the gasses flowing nicely again not to hot not to cold. on a turbo the systems already so pressurised you just want the biggest shortest exhaust possible so a 3" side exit is better than a 3" rear exit. try keep some decent heat into it to keep things moving nicely and heat wrapping it keeps the temps down and likely hood of flameage up so its a win win really. someone thats studyed motorsport engeering or something may totaly correct me but thats what my research has ld me to believe

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 so. That was the last Time I got pulled for mine we recently had vosa down doing inspections with the help of the police and I drop straight past and they didn't bat an eye lid. If it's a jap import you can argu the toss as its a very grey area. Most police won't no what there taking about with regards to them so just be polite and speak with confidence and most of them will listen to yourside of the story. If it is a uk spec then your pretty fucked and at the mercy of the police man rules are very clearly written you can not alter your exhaust in anyway that makes it louder or have higher emissions than its type approval

Depends on the fcd to be honest the jam fcd doesn't actually alter the signal u till your about to hit fuel cut its the safer of the pikey FCDs
