Ok, so a 99ron is fine then...just hope Tesco near me doesn't decide to shut up shop! :pray: Is the ECU mappable to run on 95ron? or is it a new chip and remap then? As far as I know, the standard setup has a knock sensor so it should retard the ignition if you run on 95ron without the need for any...

like the wheels, a good choice! - will look better when lowered.

Why did Toyota think that fitting RAV4 springs as standard was a good idea? Maybe they thought that as it shares the engine it may aswell borrow the springs too!

Where did you get the RE040s? They seem to be arounf £70 fronts and £100 for rears When I was looking there were 3 places that would supply them:- -mytyres -ebay shops -elite direct http://www.elitedirect.co.uk/02-tyres/tyres2bysize.php5?ordertype=1&saletype=retail&section=205&profile=5...

#-o :clap: :roll: :oops: :oops: ](*,) \:D/ :whistle: Wow! I've never read so much about tyres in my life I did this recently too. The trouble you'll have is that there are few tyres that are available in the standard sizes AND are designed for performance (not just for a family saloon). In the end ...

You should head over to TwoBrutal: forums.twobrutal.com

Otherwise Paul Woods will be along soon - he runs Wood Sport and is the man you need to talk to...

Thanks Ben I may well take you up on that offer of the code reader. Looks like I'll be running t1-r after all as the 040's are on back order and won't be in until the end of the month. The difference in cost was actually only £10 per tyre to go bridgestones but as the tyres I have are well past thei...

Thanks for all the info! I'm planning on going down to Elite on Saturday but I was going to go for the RE040's as I don't like the idea of the soft side walls of the T1-R's and as I've got the 15" rears, the Advans won't fit. I'll get the geo done too as I dropped the suspension off so it's bou...

Just to add that I finally got to drive the car today and it's fantastic! It has ditchfinder rear tyres on it and with the turbo spooling - even only at 3k revs - the back end starts coming round in a nice controllable drift . At the moment I can't see the need for more power and the chassis feels p...

New engine - Nice one. You've got the PE turbo like on mine? IMO getting the map right and minimising det is key. Mine has 235bhp with a Unichip + 5th injector, chargecooler and 10psi of boost. I did find that the standard ECU will keep trying to get the fuel:air mix back to ideal - whereas with th...

I find EBC reds fine for everyday use and they stand up to abuse too. Yellows are better for track but do take some warming up. I have no experience of greens but if you plan on going near a track then I'd avoid - otherwise probably OK for road use. For all round use I'd go for Reds (not sure if the...

If you want a SC gearbox - you can have my old one for free. Synchro on 3rd/4th need fixing but it had no pop out issues. MODS - I hope this isn't classed as a FOR SALE thread as the item is free - feel free to move if it's a problem. (Edited to say that I've promissed the box to SS2 now - sorry for...

Those big ends have got a scary amount of free play - did you try taking the head off to check the internals and condition of the cylinder bores? Nope, but I strongly suspect that it was the old oval bore syndrome as it drunk plenty of oil before this happened - it couldn't be pre-cats as it doesn'...

turbo

Still haven't actually driven it yet - can't wait to get insurance sorted now.

As the new owner, I thought I'd add a slight update on this. As per Patrick's thread above, the big ends are a symptom not a cause so the car now has a new engine - got it in and running today. A few final bits to tidy up and it'll be back on the road by next weekend :D Thought I'd take a quick vide...

Right, I got my mk3 running today so I want to move the mk1 on soon. Hence price dropped to £2k ono :shock: Please note that the car is NOT in showroom condition and could do with the rust sorting to make it perfect - happy to e-mail pics on request. It's a genuine SC that's mechanically excellent -...

If I had the readies I'd have your arm off :cry: Anyway, free bump :) Thanks :D Thought I'd add an update to the thread as I got some work done yesterday. In the whole time I've had the car I'd never removed the black triangles that hide the bottom of the sills by the rear arch. I removed them last...

www.brakesint.co.uk just been on the website. and its 138 pounds, which is more than the Exedy Clutch which is 119. any place where i can get a cheeper clutch The one I got from brakesint WAS an exedy item (got it about 6 months ago). It's up to the job of an SC with a pulley. Isn't there a brakesi...

Yeah is does but not that bad, it really only makes the noise at around 2000 RPM. What was making that noise on yours? You won't like the answer - I've sourced a new engine to sort it out - it's terminal. I suspect failure of the big ends - which is a common problem on the 2000-2002 1zz. If it soun...

Does it sound like this:-
