Mr2 Turbo Universal CV Boots?

3 out of the 4 boots need replacing so might aswell do all lot, however they are £80 per driveshaft from Toyota. Im all for doing things properly but im not paying £160 for 4 bits of rubber out of principle. Anyone had success with these universal types and got any links to some decent alternatives?...

Ill...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Sod it, following on from the IC thread

im halfway through putting mine on mate the intercooler block itself looks like a nice bit of kit, got it in the engine bay just need to connect the hoses up. Good buy for the money if u ask me. Get the shroud before u put it on if u can, there will be a lot of room around the intercooler if you don...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] SMIC Aftermarket Intercooler - Any Good. Views Please!

Ive just gone and bought one with the shroud from gtschris, going to reuse my existing fan, ill let u all know how i get on in the new few days. Looks like a half decent kit for the price even if it turns out to be crap compared surely its better than the junk on there to start with.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] is my oil ok ( 5w - 30A1 synthetic )

I think it will be ok but i think 5w30 is a bit on the thin side if your putting any sort of load on your car, i think a 10w40 would be better and this is generally what is recommended on this forum. I dont know much about all the API stuff but if your bored http://www.carbibles.com/engineoil_bible....
