    Why is everyone selling up?

    Mines up for sale after one year of ownership, has simply been the best car I've owned and everything I ever wanted from a JDM type r, but I've got to a point in life where other priorities have to come first and I just don't get to enjoy the car as much as I'd want to, so I'd love the car to go...

    Idle air control valve question?

    The black valve on the right hand side of the first picture, this will come off and leave the shaft like so in the second picture, this should then spin freely. Like I said you will need a set of 5 star torx which can be bought cheap on Amazon ( Silverhill 5 Point Star Torx Bit Set (10 bits)...

    Idle air control valve question?

    So I assume it span freely with no resistance once cleaned, and you could spin it and let go and it would continue to spin freely a little? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    The painful wait!

    Ditto what everyone else has said about torque, top guys! Darren kept me in the loop through the whole process, was a painful wait though!! Now I've got a similar wait for a nice new shiney Kakimoto Regu that josh has sorted for me [emoji51] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    ARC Intake/Super Induction Box - Split Weld Prevention.

    Having my ARC refurbed at the moment and I'd looked over ordering some of these from a supplier at work! Also very common on lawn mower engines if that helps anyone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
