  1. Pretty sure standard is 185/60/14 not 55?
  2. Someone was trying to be a crafty lil cunt with that one! Fail!
  3. One thread here, amongst hundreds of others, check the search bar http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/81100-turboing-an-na-standard-ct9/?hl=%2Bturbo+%2Bconversion#entry1001741
  4. Just never watch the episode of 'Wheeler Dealers' when they worked on an RX7, actually made me want to cry seeing what they did to it...
  5. I'll take a look for you later, I'd be surprised if they were different tbh!
  6. If they're the same as the Paseo ones then I should have a couple available? Are all four bolts the same? (I'm assuming you mean the fronts!)
  7. He's a cunt. Hope he ends up wrapped around a tree.
  8. The big sites are ones like Jobsite, totaljobs or Monster. Alternatively you could always check NHS jobs too - there's always plenty advertised and contrary to common belief, alot of them aren't clinical roles. I'm not sure if there are any websites that specialise in construction jobs but one of the sites above can probably shed some light on it at least - that might be your best bet if that's where your experience lies! I'm also not sure what the 'benchmark' qualification is for quantity surveying, but I know that there is good money in it in the UK so might also be worth looking into
  9. You will need additional qualifications to work in accounting. The standard ones are ACA, ACCA, CIMA. All require a series of exams and a certain amount of relevant experience in a finance role. Having a masters in mathematics may exempt you from a couple of exams but I couldn't say for sure... What do you currently do for a day job?
  10. Don't you have to pay VAT on all imported items? That's 20% straight out of the box.
  11. Shiply is good, I found Anyvan.com was also really good, came up with some really cheap quotes to collect my non-running Seo and deliver it like, 300 miles. Think I paid about £100?
  12. Ha that's awesome, welcome along, love to see some more details on this in the future!
  13. Definitely ignore! Like people said, if it's Council then easiest to pay up but private firms you can just ignore. I got a ticket from a private firm and just ignored it. I did research online first though, because the fine was ridiculous, like £100 for overstaying by 10 minutes. Turns out that parking tickets can only be a fair and reasonable penalty, i.e. reasonable compensation to the carpark operator for blocking up a space for longer than you paid for. But because the fines are so heavy, it's impossible for the firm to demonstrate in court anyway so they won't even bother trying to take
  14. I work at Musgrove Park but haven't seen this when I've been out and about! Looks really smart, GLWS
  15. Tbh a quick Google search will bring up a fair few companies around that can deal with aftermarket ECUs, like Jamie said, a remap is just a remap after all. Personally, I would consider it to be easily worth a day a on the road to end up with a quality map though. After all it's not just peak figures, it can affect the whole drivability and long-term reliability of the car too so I would rather take it to someone with some specific previous experience. That's just my 2p though, it's just what each owner prefers. There is definitely mixed feedback out there for almost every firm, hence why I'
  16. Not just Tuning Developments either, there's also RaceTech and people have been giving awesome feedback for Will @ RDT, so do a bit of reading around before you make a firm decision. All will involve a pretty hefty drive though lol
  17. Personally I would just make the trip, even if it's a long drive. Selling the JAM would easily cover the fuel and mapping cost to get the EMB running right and when it comes to fuelling you really want it sorted by the best
  18. Personally I would've thought a JAM ECU would be a downgrade from an EMB. As said, an EMB is properly tuned to your car while a P&P is just a generic setup. Why don't you just get the map adjusted on your EMB?
  19. Easy to find mate... http://www.camskill.co.uk/m19b0s1296p9830/TOYOTA_OE_GENUINE_PARTS_-_Standard_Piston_Rings_-_OE-_Toyota_Starlet_Turbo_EP82_and_EP91 or http://www.id-workz.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_1118_8_102&products_id=210
  20. Oh yea for the unit, I was factoring in the cost of fitting/mapping too
  21. Yea using the whole loom would make sense, my thinking was just that it's worth faffing about with the n/a loom etc to save having to lay out £500 for a piggyback that isn't strictly necessary, if you're trying to work to the tightest budget possible that is. I don't doubt that the piggyback would run the best setup and future proof it though.
  22. Surely you don't need a piggyback for a low boost conversion? Can't you just get a standard FTE ECU and splice the extra wires into the N/A loom?
  23. Sweet, look forward to seeing some more details on these
