I changed the manifold on my car yesterday, one of those jobs that if it ever needs doing again I will either sell the car or shell out for someone else to do it :bored: Quick question to anyone else who has done this... Does anyone know how to get the two metal clips back on the nuts that hold...

I have bought a second hand manifold that the flexi has blown on, two new flexis cost me £32 off eBay. Planning to cut the old ones out myself then getting the new ones welded in by a local bloke for £40 as I want to keep the car standard. Then going to swap it out for mine with a blown flexi...

Hi, check your braided brake lines, had this on mine after fitting them and as you say it was when on full lock at low speed. Turned out it was the wheel catching the brake line, adjusted the lines a bit and it hasn't happened since.

Seen this on eBay if it's any help, item number 111320014780 Not bought or fitted one on mine, just thought it would be the sort of thing you were looking for.

Yes they are a straight swap

Look forward to group buys on these, definately want all engine mounts and front arm... Or maybe just all of them

No problem mate, I will dig it out and check it is all ok and post it out to you. PM me your address can sort out the postage once it's sent if you want

Hi mate, if you have not already sorted one I have an albi passenger side bump strip laying around. Sure all the clips are intact and paint is ok, your welcome to have it if you still need one? Let me know and can post it out to you.

Just looked on tax site and there is no duty to pay on items from a European country.... £58 a corner!!! Bargain

Thanks for the replies, they bring another question. If you buy tyres from Germany would you have to pay import taxes or anything on them with it being in Europe, place in Germany selling syron street race tyres for a price that seriously makes me want to buy a full set but not sure if there...

Can anyone tell me if 225/45 ZR17 94W will fit the standard 197 wheels? Don't know a lot about tyre sizes so any help will be appreciated Cheers

After some advice from people with these systems.... My centre silencer has gone on ny standard system so plan to replace with one of the above. I want it to be as close to standard inside the cabin as possible, don't want the dreadful drone you get from some systems that you get when motorway...

Anyone had any experience of these, bought one from demon tweeks. Downloaded my cars map to the handset and sent it to superchips then downloaded the remap and loaded it onto the car. The car pulls much smoother now and definately feels like there is more power there, no more kangarooing on cold...

Did mine and found about an inch of water on both sides, seems to have helped with the problem of the windows steaming up on the inside all the time. Thanks for the heads up on this, will be something I do periodically now. Things like this is why I think the money spent on membership here is...

Cheers for the reply, don't want a big drop just enough to close the gap between the wheels and arches. So think I'm going to go with the eibachs.

I was thinking wheels but I like the 200 cup wheels so going to get some of those if some come up for sale

I have £400 of demon tweek vouchers to spend :001_rolleyes: I was thinking eibach pro kit lowering springs, braided brake lines and maybe silicone intake hoses. Just wanted to know if anyone runs the eibach springs and what the ride and handling is like after fitting? Car is standard at the...

Steve Murr in the traders section can get these, gave me a price of £105 the pair posted.

That explains why our cars have never crossed paths... Trim line/blue :thumbup1:

I work at Toyota to but have never seen another Albi 197 in the car park, would have lined up next to it if I had :-)
