  1. Hi,

    I'm after a Throttle body and TPS from an automatic 4efte, or I believe there are some 5e,s that also use the 4 pin TPS?

    Basically has to have the 4 pin TPS on it. (can swap for a manual 4efte TB/TPS if needed)

    Thanks

  2. You called me on a Sunday afternoon, (if I remember correctly) shouting the odds and saying things you probably wouldn't say in person.

    Obviously there was nothing I could do to help you at the time, so told you to calm down and send the manifold back the following day.

    I didn't say it was to be expected, I said it sounded like you had a high EGT problem, and I wouldn't recommend running a TD04 at high boost for extended periods on track.

    You declined my offer, did you carry on using the manifold?

    I would have defiantly said the same things if you were there, prob more so!? I was 200miles from home with a wastegate hanging off, of course I would be pissed off.

    You said to me 'ahh yeah, I bet your car isn't mapped is it' which is what you said to me the first time it happened. To which I replied, 'yes it is, EMU by Tuning Developments'

    This is when you asked me what boost and bhp, I told you (1.4bar @ 272bhp), you then said 'well you're at the limit of out kit, and it's not designed to be pushed for that period of time at that boost'

    To which I thought was completely false advertising is it's rated at 280bhp. Should be rated to 1 bar, and can withstand short periods or 1.4 lol.

    (Don't take it word for word, but that was the general way the convo went)

    No I didn't send it to you, as it's a ball ache sending it off and having it repaired every other track day. I've since fitted extra bracing and it's not too bad.

  3. same here, if it the silver gt in the picture, why on earth would you let it go :)

    bit of paint at some stage and no more gazebos and boom sorted :)

    Phil

    Can't beat silver GT's, not many about! Unlike Glanza's haha

  4. Just read you asked what needs doing lol

    I was going to re bush the lower arms front and back I have them all here (poly bushes)

    Was going to paint all arms and underseal the whole car..

    Then I was going to send it off to tuning developments for stage 2 and td05 setup

    There's not a lot to do to the car, but now it's scratched on the roof and boot :(

    If you're serious about getting rid, PM me and might come to some deal?

    However, I'd sooner you crack on and get it done!!

  5. Cant speak for why that would be... Maybe he didn't like your attitude, slagging off his manifolds? :p

    Altho, you could have fixed your high EGTs with EMB, Standalone is night and day Jamie :) I look forward to seeing it go!

    I can't fault him, I'd be the same other way round. Just didn't like the fact when I spoke to him on the phone at the side of the track with my wastegate hanging off, that apparently it was to be expected as they are only rated to 280bhp for short periods of time, not a full track session hahaha!

    Funny now, but pissed me off at the time so the conversation did get a little heated!

    Yeah can't wait for it to be done now!

  6. Your issue isn't the manifold...

    kidV's RW-Dev Manifold Cracked...?

    However, Dean repaired it for free... Within 12hours...

    If your EGT's are too high, ANY manifold will crack Jamie...

    Ha, made me smile :p

    Don't expect it to last is all im saying! :)

    There ok to get u started tho!

    Maybe so, in the process of stand alone management though so we'll see how that goes.

    I didn't like Ricky's attitude, maybe that's why I have such I bad opinion on the company

  8. I will probably be going in august again but it might be quiet in may. Sounds like you have the same luckk as me dont think I have ever had a clear lap ha. Good luck anyway and let me know what you think the place (the hills and the whole area)and see of anybody knows what your car is because there was porsches etc everywhere and I had people asking me what it was ha

    My original jap wheels fit just nothing else until I bought them.

    I will do dude! Looking forward to it!

    Get in touch when you're next on a track day or something and I'll get mine out!

  9. Cheers dude, I'm from Nuneaton, I'm stopping with the project now and the cars going up for sale,

    Lost the love for it..

    My gazebo blew over this morning and it has scratched the roof and bootlid..

    Going to buy a glanza instead

    Dude, don't give up! I can pop over and give you a hand getting the bolt out as I'm only in Leicester! What's needed to be done, project wise?

    Could possibly take it off your hands if you really don't want it no more....
