  1. Would be great for a standard UK Starlet (not very cool for SR or JDM though). Not sure how many they have left, but at £77 a wheel it's a great price. Burrows Toyota dealer (formely Pentagon Sheffield) on Ebay have got them up at £120 each. http://www.thetoyotashop.co.uk/product/Starlet_Alloy_wheel,_PZ423-P0672-ZE_TPZ423-P0672-ZE

  3. So it's end-game is it James/Tara..... Not surprised tbh. Another excuse, taking no responsibility for what has transpired at all. Blaming those who put in claims is outrageous. THEY alone are responsible for people covering their own backs with Paypal claims due to the complete lack of updates/customer service, call it what you will. From the moment he and Tara stopped corresponding this has been nothing but a ticking timebomb of a disaster in the making. They only had to keep people informed, and explain the reasons why despite the non-payment of refunds to people for the other parts th

  5. I did that Dean. I started to get the heebies about all this from the time I saw the post about CJP not trading until further notice. I got no reply from DGR.
  6. Trouble is Ryan in a week and a half's time EVERYONE who paid in this group buy will be over the 45 day Paypal claim back time limit. And let's be honest, what with all the problems that have come to light + the 100% unacceptable lack of comms from anyone from CJP the net result is that no-one can have any confidence that the collies will either arrive or be complete as per the chap whose got a faulty set needing attention. They were due in on 31st March, so why did it take so long to place the order? Even then with James saying in a post on the group buy thread that it was done on the 10th Ma
  7. The best UK forum IMO is BMWLAND. There is a German based guy on there who I swear knows EVERYTHING about BM's. He's just a brainac for knowledge. I'm sure all forums have these type people, but quite why a German is on a UK forum heaven knows. The BMW Performance range is the official aftermarket mechanical and cosmetic kit that BMW make for a whole range of cars - engine upgrades, suspension, wheels, carbon stuff you name it. It's kind of like the forerunner of the new M-Performance sub-brand in so much as they can take a car (say a 135i) and by the time you've put all the gear on you
  8. Yeah, same engine in my Z4M. My MPG gauge comically says it's averaging 24
  9. Nice BM mate. Can't beat a 320D. Check out the BMW Performance engine kit for the 320 - adds a fair anout of extra grunt without huting MPG much and (by BMW standards) is not too expensive. I quite fancy an Alpina D3 Bi-Turbo myself. + Another forum BM and Starlet owning member like me. Maybe your mates will think that's a mad combo like mine do, but I don't care. I love them both for entirely different reasons.
  10. +1 for me today. Yes it is cheap as chips - a lot cheaper than the Beemer forum I also belong too anyway
  11. Googling around for a Lincolnshire company/depot and I'm hearing better things about 'Longlife' exhausts. May try them for a standard replacement.
  12. Like everyone else here I am frustrated and have the old 'why me lord' sort of feeling about what was my first trader buy off this forum! But the predicament we find ourselves in isn't any fault of the mods. Communication (or lack of it) from traders will determine just how big a dollup of cr*p people find themselves in. We just have to take it on the chin so to speak, and prepare ourselves for the worst whilst hoping for the best. And throughout it all hopefully maintaining a good attitude to our comms - even if that is not reciprocated by CJP (hopefully Tara is just having a day or two o
  13. Hmmm, a quick Google shows there are a few horror stories around about the exhausts this lot have made up for people. I think I'll pass, but thanks anyway.
  14. The current tailpipe bends downward Noel, so is that the original? To fit a straight end tip I would need to get the hacksaw out.
  15. I was looking for a decent standard replacement - I guess it will have to be a Kwikfit type jobbie. I suppose they are all much the same as each other... I don't want to replace the CAT if I don't need to as they are silly money IMO. These guys are local to me and are good in not ripping peeps off. This link takes you to their parts breakdown for a Starlet exhaust with costs. http://www.bushtyres.co.uk/exhausts/search.htm?make=38&model=561&body=4&engine=132&year=2158&submit_button=Find+Exhausts £246 for the cat! My car only cost £995! What parts on a 15 year o
  16. Clearly I have my facts wrong it's 92 start for cats isn't it. Not >01 as I thought I'd read somewhere. Doh.
  17. Rest easy, that's been asked by others (me for one) and replied to positively by Tara.
  18. £60 sounds like bargain for you for sure If this is the first new exhaust on the car (probably is I'd say), I take it it doesn't have to be be fitted with a cat as a pre-01 registered car? Assuming you can get non-cat exhausts these days....
  19. I'm not looking to use a new exhaust for power gains on my stock n/a car, but I would like to make sure I don't get a turkey exhaust system. I was planning to use a standard supply + fitting chain or local place rather than buy an exhaust separately and have it fitted, so i'm looking for a national place that sells good standard exhausts. Looks are not important, but if it did have a nice tail pipe then it would be a bonus Not sure what sort of money it will be either for a full system? What should I look to pay?
  20. Well done chap.. but don't think you are a driving god just yet! Take it easy for a while, even if you are not a bad driver there are plenty of others out there on the roads who are, and you can't teach experience (sadly).
  21. Ok, James has said the DGR coilovers are on the boat.. Which is good. But is he stopping trading altogether? What about the 2 yr warranty that he was going to front on the coilovers? Who (if anybody) is going to pick that up? If CJP is not going to be around anymore it would be beneficial if James as a customer of DGR direct can get clarity that they will honour the warranty.
  22. Has the order gone in to DGR yet? I'm trying to line up a chap to fit then, and I've told him first week in April. Is that about right?
  23. Ok, I see. No worries, I've paid by Paypal from your site - UK EP91 / Road springs / Blue
  24. Hello - I'm trying to pay for these, but how do I get it to non-paypal £445? I can see the link in Paypal for cc or debit card payment but no price adjustment.
