  1. Thank fuck for the internet eh? Until it's censored....
  2. More food for thought: http://nesaranews.blogspot.com/2013/04/pictures-that-prove-double-amputee-was.html
  3. I looked into ceramic coating and through research found http://www.zircotec.com/ to offer the best quality coatings. More £££ than I was prepared to spend though; iirc it was £160ish to coat a manifold. They will do piston crowns and valve faces too. Some people also have their turbine housings done. This article makes for interesting reading if you're into this sort of thing: http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/hrdp_0612_engine_coatings/viewall.html
  4. Sinn, you have PM. Jim, the unichip can be mapped for literally any efi vehicle. It's mapped for a TD04 Starlet atm so it's pretty much good to go but it's always best to get is mapped for your specific car. Beast, cam cover is sold.
  5. Yes and yes. I'd prefer to sell the leads as a complete set though. I have no idea, it looks custom made tbh Rob.
  6. There are multiple methods to paint prep. Some swear by wet sanding, others dry. There are also various grades of paper available but you don't need all of them. Day to day I use 80 (rarely), 180, 320, 500 and 1000 and I only ever dry sand pre-paint. Just be aware that wet and dry grades are not equal. The only time I wet sand is on the denib/polishing stage. Also, it's handy to buy all of your products at the same place but not essential. Pretty much every paint system will work over every primer system so I wouldn't be overly concerned with that. Brown Brothers was mentioned above and th
  7. If you're gonna use a rattle can take the chill off of it with a hairdryer, you'll find the paint atomises much finer and will give you a far better finish. I can't spend much time going into details right now but will reply in more depth later. Spraying is what I do so if I can give advice I'll be happy to.
  8. My bad, I fucked up my figures. Just pulled the dyno sheet... Obviously low to mid 11's is where you want to be. I need to sleep
  9. Do you know your afr's? My guess is that you ran dangerously lean. 229bhp looks like great figure at 1 bar, especially mapped on 95ron. With almost exactly the same setup as you mine made 218bhp once I'd swapped the 370's for stock injectors. It made 202bhp on 370's but my fuelling was so rich it ran off the chart (<10:1) although I was told it was as safe as it would ever get. With stock injectors in (everything else was equal) it was running mid 11's:1, even touching 12.2:1 at one point. That is obviously way too lean for full boost and would eventually get me into a similar situatio
  10. The honest answer is I don't know, I have no experience with it. Your best bet would be asking someone who's been there/done that.
  11. Yes it will. I've been told that GT cages fit Glanza's (although there will be a gap between the top of the cage and the roof) but Glaza cages will not fit GT's.
  12. Removed sold items and condensed everything I'm selling into one thread. More parts added.
  13. I can hear it now... "linked to Al Qaeda"
  14. My thoughts are with the families of those affected. Things like this make you realise just how fragile we are. Also makes you wonder what the perpetrators think they'll achieve by committing acts like this? RIP to the ones that lost their lives.

  17. Yeah, completely breaking it mate. I'm 27, driving for 9 years with 7 years ncd, all Mods declared on the gt was ~£440 tpft, mr2 is ~£190 per year more. Both policies are based on 6k miles with cat 1 alarms fitted.
  18. Checked, double checked, triple checked... Guess I'll just have to keep checking the site.
