  1. how do you do that buddy, thats cheaper than you can buy them in the States!!
  2. price answered above, its hugely dependent on the interest, if we can get 5 sets i am pretty sure they will come in cheaper than Sikky/PPE, my background is in sheet metal and fabrication and now work for a large UK car manufacturer sourcing items like this, so know what I am looking for in a supplier, these guys are top notch!! They work on some pretty nice stuff!
  3. pretty sure Sikky headers are not equal length
  4. ball park for 304 stainless is £3-£5k, but with additional numbers I can bring this down
  5. Hi, i have been doing some work to find a reputable company that can manufacture some excellent UK made headers, who is interested? my brief is that they are true 100% equal headers lots of options available for 304 stainless to inco and titanium
  6. dont forget the flying elephant that left you a nice present on your car!!!
  7. they are V8s but still euro6, they will go up in value
  8. be careful, many of the reference sites list the standard IS bearing as the one for the ISF, which is shorter
  9. car parking is free, i am there at least once a week
  10. i was 37 when i got mine, now 39, possibly my favourite car I have ever had as I suspect the Sierra Cosworth was more of a nostalgia thing
  11. nope, i have just found some genuine lexus ones at a reasonable price
  12. my front right wheel bearing is on its way out, there appears to be some confusion over what actually fits, anyone on here had to replace theirs?
  13. I have not seen a single ISF that has had rust at any age, so really just check for cosmetics, they really are pretty bullit proof so not a lot to check, water pump as mentioned but this should have been done, if they are willing to put it up on a ramp it would be worth checking the brake lines (the hard lines that run the length of the car) these can suffer with corrosion and are pretty costly to replace, check for any knocking or whining through the steering, there are starting to be a few issues on high millage cars with the steering racks, this hopefully should mot apply to such a low milage car. she looks a beaut btw!!
  14. some of the new engines I am working on have electric superchargers and turbos
  15. found it for those that are interested: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=1845331&i=20
  16. no, I have PS4S's on my BBS wheels, SottoZeros on my standard wheels
  17. my Pirelli SottoZero 3's will be going on this weekend
  18. if anything I would believe the addition of ethanol at the same RON would increase performance, ethanol has a lower flash point than petrol meaning that it would reduce the likelihood of preignition meaning you could further advance the ignition
  19. correct 6th gear is 1:1 in our cars, what gear was the car run in?
  20. Cold weather does help as the air is more dense, but correction values on dynos become less accurate the more you move from typical ambient temps
  21. as others have said there are a lot of factors to take into consideration, also bear in mind that you are more than likely on winter fuel now. Can you post the graph?
