its an engineering firm in wales not really aimed at cars so they do it on 'per job' basis rather than offer an alloy refurb service
its a more sensible price as they'll just see it as 4 bits of aluminum i guess

I just got a quote of about £45 per wheel for a shot blast and gloss black powdercoat,
i'll pass on a contact no if you require

nevermind figured it out

riteo, I disconnected the battery lastnight to fit my digital dash and now the darm immobiliser hasn't come back on, its one of those key fob type ones where you push the chip into a reader on the dash. the led on the unit doesn't come on either :S i've checked every fuse in the whole car and their ...

Anyone on here??

Love my legalisR, the exhaust note is a gorgeous deep rumble,
although it does have a nasty habit of setting the neighbours car alarm off when idling! they love it when i'm defrosting in the morning.

Hi all, i'm towards the end of my custom dash build its all installed into the housings now and all the wiring is thankfully done apart from the fuel low light, i can't find any documentation on how this works, the diagrams in the bgb say its simply a switch but i've drained my tank and jacked up th...

Hi,
Anyone know where i can get a service kit for HKS topmounts?
i just bought a set second hand and the bearings have a little play in them, i have scoured the internet and can't seem to find anything usefull.
Cheers
Marc

i'm sure they'd be fine but i'm going to use a standard needle type gauge for my boost controller setup then install the plasma in its place.

i'll get them plumbed in side by side and see how they compare
the boost is the only one i can foresee a problem with regarding the delay.

i just bought a set, haven't fitted yet but they look ace all lit up. tested water temp sensor in a mug of hot water and it was to temp in about 3 seconds and within 5 degrees of my digi thermometer, tested the boost gauge and its a little slow registering fast changes in pressure but all in all ver...

Given up on stock speedo, sender is knackered
bought one of these....

Currently re moulding a spare instrument shell so it sits flush with 3 plasma gauges where the tacho would normally sit i think it'll look ace!

Update: i ended up putting the new electric speedo one in the original mechanical case (with a bit of modification) as the connectors were different. i have connected wires to the 4 screw terminals on the back of the electrical speedo then replaced all the rev 1 clocks and dials, does anyone know wh...

if its the wrong bit for the rev of engine it wouldn't surprise me one bit, the turbo swap was a real bodge job, anyhoo, if itake the recirc pipe off and shine a torch inside i can see that the diaphram (of whatever it is) looks very tired, and it never acheives full boost until it makes that lovely...

bit of a long shot.... i want to refurb my battered stock alloys but i need the car, and somehow after my fibreglassing escapade* of last weekend i won't be allowed to do them indoors so they'll need to be off the car for a week to allow drying in the cold temps of my shed does anyone have a spare s...

same happened to me, it was the EFI fuse in the engine bay but it didn't look blown,
does your ECU light come on with the rest when you turn the key?

I have that exhaust and apart from the deep rumble setting car alarms off at low revs, its pretty quiet when cruising with a nice rasp on boost,

£750?!?! feck i paid less than that for the whole car happy days!

edit: my neighbours love it when i'm de-icing at 6.30am

Hi all,
will one of these

solve the problems associated with running an atmospheric BOV on the rev2 tubby?

my stock BOV's diaphram is looking a bit tired and i'd like an upgrade

cheers
Marc

well progress has been made, turns out the guy who did the tubby conversion got the o2 sensors plugged in the wrong way round, since swapping the wires and doing an engine hot reset on the ecu not only is the car performing like i always thought is should but the honk has completly gone don't quite ...

thanks for your replies everyone,
i'll just put up with it for now i think but a decent dump valve is on the list after everything else i need to get through the next mot,
thanks again

i cleary missed that bit! obviously seeing what i wanted too
