  1. a good man with a lathe will knock one up in about 10 minutes ,so it may be worth trying an engineering shop if you have one local to you
  2. best bet just make sure what ever you choose is e marked ,halos/angel eyes etc are perfectly legal and so is any e marked light ,hid's are a sticking point because technically the car should have a self leveling system fitted for the mot test ,
  3. short version.. it depends a lot on the car/chassis/suspension but as a rule if you go to a wider track on the rear of a fwd car it will promote understeer ,if you make the track wider on the front while leaving the rear as standard it can make the steering very pointy ie initial turn in will be sharper but again this is relevant to castor/camber angles .most of the above is relative to how severe a change you make to the track and how wide the wheels are above standard , also the profile of the tyres can make a large difference to the handling of a vehicle ,tyres are an integral component of the suspension ,too low a profile =harsher ride, and less sidewall deflection can induce oversteer or understeer depending on the chassis setup and tyre pressures..
  4. Happy Anniversary tctech!

  5. bugger ,,try cutting it out 1st ,probably wont get it all but might get some of it out
  6. we do them to 215 nm, not hard to do with a press... never tried it without
  7. i wouldnt feel too bad about it cos they have a celica engine in them and as per the celica came in 140 0r 190 spec ...still a massively fugly car though ,concept car or not: just what were they thinking when they put this into production
  8. not 100% sure but i think i saw this on here a while ago ,whoever it was had stripped out their interior to do it .
  9. go for a gt4 ,far more refined than a scooby ,only my opinion but i have had 3 scoobys and dont think they are a patch on the gt4
  10. some people are just arseholes ,,you just got to hope somebody saw it happen and reported them ..as said report it as a hit and run to the local plod you may be lucky if it was witnessed
  11. alex i have sent you a pm . we can do your clutch cheaper than mr t and will fit an exedy clutch kit
  12. glad you are ok ,damn lucky not to hit anything
  13. probably leaking water in around the rear lamp seals or boot seal
  14. now that is fugly ,but each to thier own
  15. sorry to hear this fab if you cant get anyone else to drive it i will come over and give it a run round for you i am a guesssing that you are somewhere between tamworth and stoke so it is a bit of a trek from milton keynes but i am fully insured no matter what the circumstances ,but if there is anyone closer who can help consider me as a last option hope you recover soon ,best wishes
  16. had my gen 5 since april and only done 60 miles in it since i bought it ,rest of the time its been in bits
  17. no problem if you change your mind you are welcome .i dont have a little eobd code reader by the way.. i have up to date top of the range equipment
  18. if you are up a little further ( milton keynes) i will plug in and diagnose it for you
  19. you will find that the mot test and structure of such are not drawn up by vosa, these stupid rules are actually made in parliament by your so called mp,s ..vosa has very little input nowadays into the structure of the mot test .it just polices the test stations and testers
  20. http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/repository/technicalpenpicture3-lighting.pdf this explains all about aftermarket hid lights and rfr (reason for rejection)
  21. you can mot your car up to 30 days prior to its expiry date and get the balance of the old certificate added on,you dont have to wait until the expiry date of your existing test .hid lights have been mentioned on the revisions for the mot test ,but nothing is confirmed as yet
