Re: Long accelerator cable

You could try a decent bicycle repair shop. Place near me makes custom race pedal bikes and I always used to get him to make various cables for my motor bikes. Any length with any type nipple on the end wasn`t a problem .

Re: Crystal Headlight users

No pics, but loads better than stock. Especially when used with Osram nightbreaker +. As Red says loads better . I fitted that exact setup . Crystals I got off ebay , super cheap . Thought they would be cack but they are not . If the chrome does peel off in a few years who cares I`ll bin them and b...

Re: What would you like imported?

If you can get enough of an order together pallets is the best way to ship. I send TNT to fetch me stuff from the US on pallets and its £700-£800 ish for 1 pallet and just over a grand for 4 pallets that weigh nearly 1 ton a piece. They can also do all your customs and duty stuff for you.

Re: [Mk2] [Generic] Buying an aerosol of Toyota Cosmos Blue to order..

Any decent paint shop will do it . I use auto supplies , bolsover chesterfield . They can go off the paint code or if they are not sure what that is they use a magic camera and it takes a pic of your paint and matches it up .

Re: Tidy 2 on PH

You right Karl, Having certain period and rare parts would not detract from the value . Having the wrong engine I think will even if it is great.

Re: Tidy 2 on PH

Just to throw some fuel on the "import tubby" fire. Lee (Uglee) just sold his mint 2GR for £6k it was spotless and had a full custom alcantara interior. Far more BHP and bang for your buck in a 2GR conversion for the same money. So it does skew the tubby price a bit. Although that sounds ...

Re: Tidy 2 on PH

If its all straight that looks pretty good value . Check out the prices on a rev 5 tubby on yahoo japan . If you havn`t looked I think you will be shocked how much one costs .

Re: Wandering at speed

Do you know when alignment was done last? No idea
Does it pull to one side if you let go of the steering wheel? Nope its spot on
