Below is some info from a friend of mine who is rebuilding a TT engine. He has asked me to post this info+pix up in case anyone has seen/heard of this problem before, or indeed to make them aware of it. Attached are some photos: excuse the quality, they were done late last night on a mobile phone. "Here are some pictures of Number 6 "front" inlet port, this is the best I could do with my camera phone. Just a run down on the history of this engine, bought off ******* on our forum with less than 30,000 miles on it. I stripped it down re-rung, glaze busted the bores, skimmed heads, re-faced valves &valve seats, polished crank, rebuilt and ready to drop …

Just thought that I post a couple of snaps of my Baby after her trip to the health spa.... She's now totally regenerated and has a new lease of life. 1. New Tein Superstreet Shocks and Springs 2. Tein EDFC (a toy really) 3. HKS Oil cooler 4. Timing belt 5. Complete respray in Halcyion Atlantis (TVR Blue/Green flip colour) 6. sparco Hoses under the bonnet. Total cost £5200 for the lot.... Expensive but OHHH so worth it. One problem the body shop broke a piece of plastic where the LED rear break lights are...anyone know where I can get a new one and how much it'll be? I'll post more picies shortly, but the weather crap at the m…

Tuning the Z to the level I have gone to has taken a lot of blood sweat and tears and not to even mention the £££££££ over the last 8 years.You will never know just how much of a handfull it is unless you sit behind the wheel and wind those Greddy TD0518G turbos to 30+psi. Today it was blue sky the roads were dry and the air temp was just right and I have to say in all honesty what an absolute pleasure it is to drive at full chat it make me realize just what I have created and in all honesty she has been worth every penny to make her what she is:nana2: A genuine 586 horses and 550 lbs of torque on pump gas ( still awaiting dyno sheet) but they cant be telling lies:)

Is it possible to fit an aftermarket Vacuum Reservoir for the clutch. The reason i'm asking is that to fit the 2 tanks from the car I broke looks a nightmare. Has anyone fitted a tank somewhere else? Cheers John

Hi, I've been searching and searching for this front bumper. Does anyone know what it is? The unknown bumper Where I can get it from? I know it's not a veilside ec1 or a Strosek made front bumper because of the lines, shape etc.. It's not the only one I've seen either, so it's not custom. Anyway, if anyone could let me know, cheers ;)

hi guys i'm new to the site but i was wondering if i could pick your brains! i just bought a 91 300 turbo with a blown head gasket. the gent i bought it off started stripping it but was told if his head gasket went he would need to replace piston rings aswel!!! sounds a bit suss so i asked him if he'd boiled the knackers off it and he said no. has anybody else heard of replacing ring just cos a head gasket went. all comments greatly recieved.thanks batesy

Right ive had most of the interior trim out of my zed today. Trying to fix a few niggles, managed two but two more still elude me. Anywho, i noticed there is like an access panel on the trim panel underneath the steering wheel, about 2.5" deep and 4" wide it had two screws on the back of it but looked like it could be popped out for some piece of OEM equiptment to be fitted. Does anyone know what this is/was/should be for? Ive takent he screws out and popped the plastic off to shove my dam turbo timer through, PITA peice of kit, but it just seems to fit. Anyway, anyone know what this does?

Had a nice cruise of around 500miles to my Folks in Scotland for thier birthday this weekend and had such a nice time driving up (even in the snow) Everything on the whole was fine which was ace :) Just 1 small thing which i had before it went away for abit now returned! Steady foot at motorway speeds just keeping the same speed and power then feels like Petrol stops pumping for a second so 0 power then the power is back again! Only happens when im going at a constant! but when i had a blast using the Tubs then just slowed back down eg 70boost to 90 then slow back down its fine for say 10-15mins then happens again but other times may not happen for an entire t…

Hi, I spend most of my time poodling around in the zed and like to turn the boost on high when I fancy a blast! My profec eo1 has to go through a menu and then select high boost and go from there, I know there is a high boost button availabel for this but I fancy a change! So what other boost controllers out there have a button just to select high boost?

well its decision time i guess since fitting the kit to the car ive realised what a mistake ive made , not in the style of the kit , its just that wherever i go i seem to catch the front bumper everytime i go in/out of the garage it scrapes when i go to the end of the drive it scrapes and if i go round a corner at speed , guess what , it scrapes on top of all that the engine is piddling oil out of it at an alarming rate the front wobbles under braking and wobbles when im at 45 mph the center propshaft bearing has gone which causes vibration through the car ( not totally unpleasant feeling ) the brakes are grinding the rear valance needs painting again the interior needs…

Ive replaced all the drivechain bushings and mounts with uprated ones apart from the engine mounts which i have changed only the passenger side mount with a oem one the drivers side is still the original and is prob knackard........ I had the cars rear in the air a while back while a friend had it in first gear while pressing and depressng the clutch.... It made a very distinctive knock noise which was coming from the drivechain but was hard to pin point it. I looked under the car while my friend was on and off the clutch and tried to find where the hell it was coming from but everything was solid with no movement at all, diff was solid, gearbox fine and prop s…
