Re: [All] [NA] PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hey, Im from Middlesbrough, just down the road and own a tubby. Mine alternator went on me a couple of months ago and a place called Teeside Start part fitted and supplied me a NEW one for around £100.
Might be worth getting there number out of the YP and giving them a ring?
Hope this helps, Scott :D

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Fitting rev 3 parts to my rev 1!

Thanks for that.
So would just replacing my rev1 ecu with a rev3 ecu do nothing at all without upgrading the turbo?

Re: who makes these wide wings? there Yummm!!

Also a company called ABFLUG made these arches, unsure if they still do..?
And if your lucky enough to find a set you have to get them imported.
Theres always wide arch kits just like that on ebay *USA* if you search for them.

Re: xs power IC or BERK

TBH i thought the cooler itself is pretty good quality and you cant complain for the price.
The fittings however could of been better, but again you get what you pay for.

Re: wide arch copies

Ive read they are a nightmare to fit, pick up this months Banzai and read up on the MR2 trd kitted rep in there. He used tonnes of filler to get the kit to fit.
