You wil also want larger injectors to make use of your larger turbos and trust me you dont wanna fit secondhabd unknown units to have to refit as its a pain in the ass mines currently going through this. Have you done your pcvs?

the car can sit and wait axel stands and tarp where invented for a reason :) sorry to hear lifes taking its toll. we all go through these stages just gotta get your head down as your doing and work your way through. best wishes.

I think its limited mods only ive basically just hot cat back and diffwrent alloys declared. I know a few members struggle to get there modded beasts insured.

yeah when you look at the rear face there is an I shaped divider that divides the normal exhaust gases from those coming from the waste gate. when you look at it you will see there a gap maybe half a mm this allows gasses to pass from the exhaust into the dump tube as it where. i dont think thats a good thing. a few of the us guys have messed about with these. il try and find it for you.

Correct, trouble is most find that the link isnt closed completly and you get creep.

If you look carefully you can see the red in the top pic. Those boys like their neg camber and low dont they.

Alls not yet lost they might get fixed

What the head size ie the spanner size ul need? Pretty sure there 14mm have you removed the starter motor?

Rob mate if your short on time or unsure just pop the car over and il help you itsva quick job really. Have a chat with mjp im sure he will knoe what you need, and prob be able to get them :)

Id be surprised if that extended outside the us.

I knew you were messjng pete, my parents have emigrated and im renting the house I grew up in off them lol

they recon the average age to perminatly leave home now is 32! 30 fecking 2! weve technically left now at 26 however were really struggling to both rent and save. good jobs are so hard to come by for us youngens these days. too many people working way longer and holding onto their place in the ladder. fortunately katie has now got a job albeit part time. so we can stop dipping into the deposit fund again, just gotta top it up again. grrr. so if you want a cheap tt manual next year you might be worth watching this space lol cos il probally be brassic.

as i say there maybe a fair few more pics etc coming over the next few weeks including the life support system for all this. keeping a reef tank is as simple or as hard as you chose to make it. for a simply setup of just the fish the step up isnt much further than a well maintained freshwater tank. mostly disolved nutrients are the main concern, once understood maintaining them at acceptable levels is relativity simple. as you start keeping coral soft corals are a logical next step forward, regular water testing and changes are ussually enough to keep on top of things and working towards hard corals like the colourfull branches you see here at the other end of the spectrum. demands some very accurate and watchfull testing. small errors can cause major set backs or death or colonies, which is why my major elements such as calcium and the carbonates that are used up in growth are controlled by a semi automatic doser that doses x amount per day, 8 times a day per element to maintain stability. the daily loses are 3 times the difference required to cause the start of tissue recession within those colonies so it is for me an essential piece of equipment. I hope that helps, if you ever want to take the plunge id recommend http://www.ultimatereef.com as indespensible forum and resource.

i did that a few years back spun out and hit the curb?

few updated pics for you guys as i know a few of you enjoy seeing them. theres something potentially in the pipeline so there may be some more high quality images over the following weeks.

il start out with saying im not expert but this is what i understand from my recent conversations a little play is actually quite normal, its rare to get them perfectly tight unless they are new because the oil pressure within the turbo is part of what governs the play to a certain extent. im actually currently in the same scenario as yourself. but ive chosen to rebuild the tubs rather than buying good second hand ones for the reason youve had. if they have play then you will need more than the stock rebuild kits on ebay, you will need possibly some new internals and possibly a different size seal or bearing. SIMPLY MARKING THE SHAFT ETC AND PUTTING IT BACK IN THE SAME PLACE WILL NOT GUARANTEE BALANCE sadly because they spin at such a fast rate a little inbalance goes along way and will quickly make your hard effort a waste of time. i dont know where your based but as said there are plenty of places that will do turbo rebuilds, mine will be going over to cr turbos. for three reasons. they are responsible for some of the very best builds in this country, they are very local to me within 5 miles and they are very helpfull and open with their knowledge.

Yeah its the number I want I want to know if tge pair ive got are auto.or manual.

Yup.

i know its been covered before but what are the differences between auto and manual tubs? to look at i mean, theres a diffrent number written on them somewhere isnt there?

ah i see thats very unfortunate. sorry to hear your troubles, if you were local id lend a hand to get it done maybe someone local will have the time. it would be a great help to yourself and would as you said early increase teh profile of the marque so im sure someone will be able to help.

no richard its simply for show use and so the plate can be flipped back down after doing track day laps without having to exit the car for safety. :)

Oooooh that thing fat chance another year on my contract.

I think your loosing the faith and possibly the plot haha.

Would you have to produce the artical yourself? I think its a fantastic way to advert the car gives it a real pedigree, and raise the profile of the marque. Plus youll have some top notch memorabilla from the car, to remember it by once its gone.

Il be honest the interior makes me feel very honda ... Anyways I agree with yh he chrome wrap with black roof bars, would seal the silver surfer angle so much bettsr shoud be cheaper too.
