Re: MK1 Front Cross Member/Reinforcer -help required!

Hello Am looking to replace this part on my car as it has fully corroded. It is going into a bodyshop at the end of the month. Where can I get a really good replacement? What else might I need? Many thanks for any help. Toyota, but you don't mention whether it is MK1a or Mk1b as there is a differen...

FYI the old FRAeng.co.uk site now points to TDKRacing.com though FRA Engineering is on the TDK banner. http://www.tdkracing.com/

Re: rattling noise

Hi all, I have a concerning rattling noise every time I accelerate at low revs between 2-3k rpm. The noise is then drowned out by the exhaust over that, so I can't hear it. It does it hot and cold, but it does not increase or decrease with speed. Its not a deep rattly noise, but I am slightly worri...

Re: Potential downtime - next 48 hours

Andy, all is working fine and has been for a long time ( more than 1 year ) . I've been puzzled by your post and have had a nose through the server logs. The only email that's been sent to you today left our server at 02:48:29 GMT, all looking OK - is this the message you meant? Could your ISP be f...

Re: Weight Loss

Yours and my experience kind of backs up what I'm thinking that there must be a similar, or even grater, benefit in switching to a lightweight flywheel to remove weight drag off the engine in the same way as lightening the car. :D Do it - you will not regret it. It can take a while to get used to c...

It takes a bit of getting used to going from a petrol to a diesel. Clutch out, start to roll and then floor it. Take it ro...

Thanks. I wasn't sure. I've just checked Brakes International site and the Supercharger clutch kit is listed as a 224mm item and the MK1b version as 212mm.

Will MK1b Clutch in For Sale section fit a Supercharger?

I am currently selling a Mk1b clutch in the For Sale section and have been asked if this will fit the supercharger version. I don't know. Will it? Standard clutch - 212mm.

Re: 42k miler on Pistonheads £3650

Opinions over price aside - it is a very nice car. Shame that he's selling it. It's been at Tatton the last few years which is where I think that photo was taken. That's Fred working on his car next door. :-)
