Phoenix Power Departure II Pro gaskets

I'm struggling to find gaskets/fitting kits for the PP Departure II Pro exhaust. Does anybody know where I can get them from?

Cheers,

Henry

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Wheel fitting questions

Thanks guys, will trial fit them over the weekend. Fingers crossed I won't need extended studs.

Can anyone confirm what constitutes a "turn" when fitting the wheels nuts?

Pacific Works - Top Notch!

A big thanks to Luke & co (who I met for the first time the other day) for fitting a replacement rear bumper and sorting out an electrical issue with my lights - all for a cracking price !

Also like to say a big thanks to Luke's brother Jules who I bought the bumper off.

Re: Finally getting the troublesome tubby back on the road (I hope)

Well the cylinder head has now been removed from the car and it turns out that the rebuild that was previously completed was not done to a great standard - with one of the inlet valves isn’t fully seated on compression so all the inlet valves have to be removed and re-lapped before being refitted. H...

Re: Finally getting the troublesome tubby back on the road (I hope)

The tubby has just passed its MOT (before any work was done to the car) - which is a result. That's one hurdle complete, now onto the more serious stuff; the cylinder head removal and diagnosis. Fingers crossed it's repairable...

Finally getting the troublesome tubby back on the road (I hope)

Ever since I bought my rev3 tubby back in May 2009, the car has been nothing but trouble. After just two months of ownership, I noticed that the engine was idling very rough so I decided to get it checked out. It was crushing news. Following a leak down test it was established that cylinder 3 was ha...

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Boot stuck

You should be able to do it at your local Toyota garage though I went to a proper locksmith rather than a high-street one such as Timpsons. If your local Toyota garage is miles away then it might be worth ringing around a few local locksmiths and asking if they cun cut keys by their code.

Can the boroscope examination be done without having the head taken off and is this something you can do James?

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Boot stuck

I had the exact same issue and tried filling the lock with WD40 in an effort to loosen it. This didn't work and I nearly snapped the key in the lock. I decided to take it to a lock smith and they told me my key was "very worn" so they got one cut using the code on the key and it popped ope...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Engine issues - what to do?

Only reason I thought that getting a replacement engine might be a solution is that many of them are guaranteed (albeit for limited mileage/time) and some have even had recent rebuilds.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Engine issues - what to do?

A few months ago, I was having a high/lumpy idle problem looked at on my 1995 rev3 tubby. After several hours fiddling with the throttle positioning sensor and replacing throttle bodies the cause could not be identified. Subsequently, a leak down test was performed and showed that cylinder 3 was hem...
