Japspeed tie rod ends(trackrod ends)
Ahh right. I'm pretty sure I got mine from euro car parts as 200sx s14 ones. Nice and cheap and fit for purpose. Can't remember exactly but I think it was an s14.

What ones do you mean exactly bud?

power steering
Ps fluid as above is seperate it's also actually filled with auto trans fluid so will likely be a pinky red colour. If you have a green puddle and a smell of cats piss, fishy or curry it's likely your heater matrix has failed. There's a small chance if clutch fluid however the pot can empty entirely into the carpet without evidence, had this happen to me before, so I doubt it's that.

Turbo oil and water lines
I have looked at these myself but not used them so this is just logical thought. The double male threaded ones are for the oil feed. The four banjo ones and bolts with holes are for the water feeds on the turbo core. The barbed ones must be to go from the braided water hose to the normal water hoses. The good thing about the stock configuration is that hard portion means you know it's not going to be testing on the exhaust housing, you have no control of this with the flexi ones, particularly the water ones. The advantage of them is that you don't have to fight with the oil feed hard pipe and I suspect it's easier re tighten that configuration. For me I was thinking il only use the oil feeds and leave the water ones as nature intended.

LOL, WTF!?!?! This has to be a wind up...surely!
Bloody iPhone, button not bottom.

Maybe, my money is on vac leaks, poor connections/incorrectly set sensors etc though. Some crappy sparking or poor settings would soon see the thing coughing over a bad set of values...worth investigating though because as we all know it should fire up on the botton.

rare front end ?
Did he ever finish that car? I heard he got bored and sold them both.

I actually started mine the other week with a virtually dead battery. It turned over, wah, wah, I'm thinking oh for gods sake il need to charge that then, swifty followed by it catching and starting albeit on five cyl but that just proves the point. I started a car with compression on only five cyl with a half dead battery, they start easy, too easy IMO.

I think it's a smart looking car.

Anyone near yeovil ?
Oh right, your location says Scotland that's all.

Didn't know there was a Yeovil in Scotland as well.

Tt injector
Il let him clarify that one but yeah I had spoken to him and it wasn't CURRENTLY an option.

I've been left feeling confused after that...

Tt injector
Ah that's helpful Joel, I was struggling to find companies on google. I assumed it was something I'd be able to source locally.
-
Tt injector
I think they are like the top ones, trouble is I would describe as brown. Brown could infer either. Do NA injectors remain quite red then?
-
Tt injector
Is there a solid reliable way to identify tt injectors over NA? After this mess over the NA engine I want to ensure I've got what I think I've got. I know what colour they should be but as you likely know they fade/change colour. I've looked into flow testing them to be sure but this works out at £21+postage+vat per injector which soon adds up, il go that way if I must but I thought there may be a printed code etc?

A sad thread

quick question about engine removal
As above and getting anything and everything that's easy to remove off gives you space to work and see. Removing the fan and Ancileries doesn't take very long, get the radiator out the way etc. Space is the enemy with these cars.

Who was it that wanted a Veilside exhaust?
Actually, no, no parts falling off....

Decisions decisions - Caliper colour!
Black on your car Si. Mine are red, I think it's ok though as brembos are traditionally red and it colour codes with the car.

Happy Birthday Joely P
Happy birthday JP, many happy returns etc etc JP. JP,JP?

Who was it that wanted a Veilside exhaust?
Well there's a bar, that's the least desirable platform, NA, auto and Lwb. Be interesting to see what it fetches as it's structurally rather hammered too, rust on sills, arches and even the roof bar it's also been written off at one stage... Expect a rock bottom price.

Slicktop TT manual
I recon it will cost about at least half the asking price to get it looking nice again, removing the snot etc. I'm always half on the look out for a slicktop as if really quite like one. Don't want to pay £15 odd grand to get there though. Very limited resale I think personally that car.
