  1. I don't ever recall getting discount - unless via one of the many group buys he organised over the years. I looked at his prices just a few weeks ago - he's still extremely competitive and doing some interesting packages
  2. Swapping 5th gear was a deliberate mod a few years ago - to get a higher cruising speed/ better mpg
  3. There's a link rod connecting the front rack to the rear steering mechanism - splined and pinch bolt - it comes off fairly easily. The main issue will be the rear balljoints - or getting replacements, member 'sonic' has just done his - so he can probably point you in the right direction
  4. You can't remove the 4ws - just disable it, but when working correctly it's excellent.
  5. Still one of my favourites - a fully loaded gtr - but not black though
  6. Sadly, I have no pictures of my first celica - although I should have, I took them for the insurance assessor after it was killed by a hgv. 1986 digital dash ma61, it was 18 months old and I loved it. I had to resort to google
  7. Most gasless migs are also capable of running with gas - you will not get even a half decent weld without gas, and using outside pretty much rules out the possibility of using disposable bottles - they would last mere minutes at the flow rate required to overcome even a mild breeze.
  8. Pleased your car hasn't got the front splitter fitted - they really don't look good.
  9. I had an 86 car in 88 with hardly any miles on it - sadly written off by a lorry on the A17.
  10. I 've had 3 ma61's - all white, I love them and they are superb cars - but don't weaken and settle for an auto or a narrowbodied car, the auto is slow and the nb is ugly.
  11. Billet turbo is effectively a stock turbo - but is fitted with a billet wheel ( rather than cast ) so slightly lighter, maybe slightly faster to spool up - but no real performance gain, so will be fine on a stock engine.
  12. That sort of money or less, will get you a very nice forged rebuild on your existing unit - they are apparently ok, but I would be concerned with aftersales service. At least if you get a turbo technics hybrid - you won't need to take it back to China if it plays up. There are at least 4 trustworthy turbo builders in the uk, turbo technics, Owen developements, turbo rebuild ltd and aet - I've had units from them all and they were all really good.
  13. Happy 6 Anniversary Paulus3476!

  14. Turbo rebuilds, Blackpool - they can provide everything.
  15. Loads of nice momo wheels and bosses over here
  16. Front or rear ? I have a brand new set.
  17. That would be mick_66 - he's got previous for stuff like that
  18. The hardtop towbar won't fit on a vert - much modification underneath for stiffening the chassis.
