Snapped this off eBay 2-3weeks ago but it's a long wait to import the matching passenger side from US or Japan and I'm going to the Ring early October so reluctantly selling these superb rail. I have now got a set of uk sourced matching seat rails for my race buckets though as to be expected required so modification unlike the brides which just bolt on They are used and in good condition and working order. These are the super low rails and would fit any standard FIA approved side mounts seats. I'd like to get the £100 for it including delivery. They cost over £250 new imported I believe.

Hi Lexx, I could take this off you as I have seen the car in person and it's in good nick for age. I have let my classic alfa shed go and need a replacement. Pm me your number and I'll try and see what we can work out. To any competition out the bump for a nice chap and a decent shed.

that's more like it sir!! About time you did push that built block What pulley are you on now? So meth and nos to go..... I can't wait The kit I bought though a T trim made 520whp and just under 400lbft torque with a 2.78 pulley and meth only on a forged block! So you will crack 500 easy but may fun out of rev unless you plan to chuck loads of gas at it I met up with (Ray)wizard last week who has a v2 vortech pushing circa 450whp for 2yrs now and only experienced 1 belt snap only, attributed to misalignment of one of the pulleys which he sorted with some washers to line it up. No belt slip or snap since. Infact he has had the same belt since. Look into this

My feelings exactly Doc Yep you'll get dibs on the driver seat if only the PS goes Cheers Ian

Chicken I agree with you. It's perfect with std cats but with decats it's loud and I persevered for best part of 2yrs and now my hearing is gone. Seriously mate look on my FS thread I just sold mine and there was loads of interest so contact them for a quick sale. GLWTS.

Japspeed mate with bungs included off course as in the close up pic. I also have old gaskets and nuts and bolt but it's not worth reusing rusted bits when you can get these cheap on eBay or at the exhaust fitters. Then hangers have be bent so that the exhaust seats square on the bumper. @vit.olo. I can check shipping to Spain but to be honest I'll prefer UK sale in case anything goes wrong.

After serving me well it time to sell as I have gone for something more sensible now Still has lots of life left to my surprise. I gave it a quick seeing to with flat wire wheel and then scotch brite. Came up a treat. Also cleaned up the flanges and welds to check for any cracks and to leave a nice surface for gaskets to sit so it's all good. Be warned the K1 with decats is very loud!! I endured this for 2years The plus sides are its very light, flows well and makes children and old people cry Asking £150ono delivered. Hope it goes to a good home as I would miss it

To put it in another way, running 95RON will not kill your car immediately but it will be making less power and also consume more in this protective state. You must remember than the car is tuned optimally for higher RON as is in Japan but has to be able to be used accross the worldso the ECU would adjust accordingly. The higest we get here readiliy on tap is 99 so this is best. In germany i use 102RON and the zed really likes it . For FI you would be running a risk of serious damage unless you have tuned maps for each fuel and even so you would also make less power with the cheaper stuff. Bottom line is its false economy to run 95RON on the car unless you have no choice and need to top up for a short distance.

3 piece of advise: 1- MAF I had a dip in my fuel consumption a few months back and traced it to my MAF. i founs a ting piece of leaf that had work its way and was blocking the hot wire i carefully picked it up with small tweezers and sprayed the wires with electrical cleaner spray from halfords and let it try and refitted. My MPGs got back to 26-32 as before. beware of the effect of some mods to the car if any. 2- Throttle controller The next investment i would suggest is a D1 controller. It will pay itself in no time Mind you my car is NA tuned with all mods concievable but i return 28-32 MPG on motorway at 85-90mph and 22-26 in busy town track. At SP7 on track i have 9-15mpg 3- Driving style. hard accelerations riding on the wrong gears, staying to long on a gear etc all impact MPG dramatically so look into what you can change. Also loose some weigt off the car if you are really trying, spare wheels etc, carry 1/4 or 1/2 tank of fuel at a time. If all fails get you car ecu checked and exhaust for no leaks etc But at the end of the day its a 3.5l 1.5 ton bit-h so what do you expect

I got cobra suzuka pro seats after trying loads of seats at autosports international motor show. Just fitted them last week and using the factory belt no issues so far. Its very good advice you are getting here to try seats before you buy . eg i couldn't fit into std seats and had to order GT size which i would never had known except for real life testing. Also you just don't get comfy with some designs irrespective of manufacturer. NB: I will be putting a super low Bride driver side seat rail for sale soon when i get pics up keep you eye out for this. I have just got a pair Buddy club rails on order as i want matching rails and cannot wait for to import the passenger Bride rail to match .

Hi DB, can't get a clean shot for a meaningful pic as i'm looking at the leak area through the front griil. I will take some pics when I take off the bumper and the condenser but for ref the condenser seats infront of the rad as per your pic and my leak is from the top pipe on a cylindrical candister attached to the driver side edge of the condenser. There is a bracket there and I would suspect the cause of the damage. Your leak looks man made ?DIY around there that went wrong? I be sorting mine out next week on my week off.

I finally found where the leak from my AC is comming from After getting the garage to refill my system with gas and dye thrice now and they could never find the leak and after about two weeks the AC would start to blow hot air agian. Everything works after regassing. i took matters in my hands and got it regassed and bought you UV googles and light from ebay and had a look myself in the night and found the culprit. There is a leak on the top part of little tank by the condenser where a pipe comes out of it. look like there is a joint here may be leaking as there is dye just only in this area. I want to take off the whole thing to inspect closely while the zed is recieveng other attention but not sure if this is repairable/weldable or only the tank thingy can be replaced or just get a new or used one (Alex or Lee). Has anyone got the same issue in the past or present? https://www.carpartsdiscount.com/auto/p ... 593=135317
