Smithy

whoo hoo many thanks fellas :bow: his bill is now upto nearly 800 big ones for obtaining goods by fruadulent means. Loads of paperwork to back up. Bailiffs have been to both addresses and no luck, despite this person signing for goods and using both addresses with different traders. Yes he is registered on this forum, though never posted. All i need is for a bailiff to catch him somewhere and who is every responsible for making this happen, gets the cash! pronto. cheers smithy

If anyone can locate the following person for me to a confirmed address that a bailiff manages to locate, i will pay £200 in cash, no questions asked. Chances are he owns a Zed, though by now that is not certain.

Man there must be more RPS's on this board now than stock :D Just 2 left of the special price ones too and seeing as your a bit of a regular, i'll throw in a little something extra, yes smithy does extra's :D cheers smithy

Yup, i got the speciality z exhaust which is awesone and uses Sebring back boxes, but by fook it was expensive coming over :eek: smithy

Bloomin eck, you found the problem in an hour ! between posts too. Don't recall selling you a kit of mine ? however feel free to email me smithy@manx.net and i can arrange a bead rolled one for yer, however i would still be worried if i was you, not something that i've heard of happening before and my own one (with a greddy cap on) has been on for over 4 years fella. cheers smithy

Nah only joking mate :D :D yer should know i don't get it wrong. Normally aspirated Brake booster hoses now available in Blue or Red with stainless hsoe bands. I know 1 of them fits the TT as well, maybe both ? will have to check. Pics uploaded laterz. cheers mate smithy

I sent my rears to a company down south called Biggred, they strip em down and rebuild with new seals and pistons etc before coating them in either teflon black or red. Cost 120 quid, which ain't bad considering how much the parts cost. http://www.biggred.co.uk cheers smithy

Spot on cheers mate, it confirms i cocked up on summit now :headvswal cheers smithy

That's all well and good when it works and the sender thinks he is doing you a favour, which in the short term he is. However IF it goes missing and lets face it, theres more chance from over the pond than there is from one part of UK to another, downside is you cannot claim for missing parts value above that as put on the customs docket, which the other side have in their posession plus ONLY the sender can claim which is a right ball ache. I've had 2 parcels last year go awol and yes both have tracking on them too, fortunately the parcels are not devalued, so eventually all monies are refunded, but trust me, from experience, it's a gamble and loads of grief if you lose the parts, cos in the case of devalued goods, you also lose yer money :( sometimes paying that extra few quid to someone you know locally, can be worth it's weight in gold :D cheers smithy

Truly sorry to read about this Kenny, my thoughts are with you mate. smithy

As this is the nearest meet/RR day i'll ever find close to I.O.M, had thought of attending myself, but really would like more info on who they are before lashing out 200 quid on boat fares. As it is nearer the time now, less than 4 weeks away AND they have been featured in magazines before now, any chance of their info OR when they were Mag featured so i (we) can check it out first ? when it comes to dyno days some people are cautious about who handle their car as 1 bang and that's it, a couple grand rebuild, as i already know :( cheers smithy

RPS Max series organic is what yer want fella :D run this in mine and she's sweet. 6 pucks, whilst they can hold marginally a bit more torque, do wear out quicker and cost more to replace the disc than an organic one. cheers smithy

All the best to the "King of bling" mate smithy

Brought a few sets of the SPL ones in a few weeks ago to order and fitted em to me own Zed, very happy with em too ;) http://www.splparts.com/ Search twinturbo.net for lots of feedback on this subject. cheers smithy

Usually takes a little more than a "blow" when you remove the connector a fine screwdriver to scrape any crud off the ends is helpful and better still electrical connector cleaner is good. The fan also comes on with other faults within the engine so an ECU test is probably best to be certain and only takes 10mins, this will pinpoint any errors within engine bay for yer. smithy

F1's all round for me, only tyre i found that came close to the original Bridgestone S02. ;) smithy

:D :D I think i manage quite all right with importing weekly as it is mate, but thanks for the offer and i've dealt with Z1 many times. I do suggest though, if not done already you get a quote by email for the shipping as just 2 sets of discs alone is near the max weight allowed... without your other stuff, unless it's multiple boxes. cheers smithy

No probs mate, i fitted the Golds which are £220 delivered, slotted are slightly cheaper at £210 a pair delivered, Fronts are same price as rears. heres mine and the 400 series are £295 speedmon, you gotta be looking at around 60-80 quid delivery on discs from over the pond, it's one thing that ain't cheap to bring in! cheers smithy

how much did the shipping cost on the discs fella :eek: am running DBA's on the rear http://www.dba.com.au/dba_catalogue_2004/HTML/Kangarooseries/kangaroo_index.htm smithy

GPS are in Leigh which is real close to preston init ? smithy

Just try it mate, wil only take 10 mins to do, i can't recall how it's connected, but somethings niggling me about it. cheers smithy

Remove the CAS but mark position of the 3 10mm bolts that secure it, so you know you put it back correct, with ignition on and CAS removed but still plugged into harness, turn the spindle at the back slowly and you should here the injectors clicking, if not, like me a coincidence ( 4 years ago) the CAs has gone down whilst your in the middle of other works.worth a try at least.... smithy

shall i remind you of the price your paying for the clutch ? being the MAX that's sat in my lockup right now cos it as the remaining one dragged back from Japfest. Because you took this off my hands, the Fly went cheaper too, check your discount mate, PM me again if you wish to discuss, to save upsetting others who didn't take this... Re read my 2nd to last PM to you last, then check out the discounted prices on my site, then let me know then whos being shown favouritism! smithy

no probs mate, i'll chuck it with yer order. cheers smithy

Both should be 765 mate, can do em both for an even 700 quid delivered AND throw in an SGP uprated pivot ball, so saving 95 quid in total and yeah, that's the flywheel, that pic never comes up on me site :headvswal must sort it.. cheers smithy
