I unfortunately had a bad experience with Chapmans....

I found their service to be relatively friendly but the lack of attention to detail almost cost me an engine, no exaggeration. I fixed what was missed myself in literally 20 seconds.

Also some spare parts I had in the car were either kept or thrown out which was a bit annoying.

Out of all the places I have been too so far I only go back to Elite Racing, his attention to detail is incredible, he spotted problems that Chapmans and Mercury missed and that was before I even popped the bonnet.

I have witnessed Dan drive out free of charge to help his customers when they have encountered a breakdown (not releated to any work he performed). What other mechanics do that for you?

Nicest guy too....

Having said all this, I will have to give the newest sponsor Hardcore a go sometime soon, from all accounts they are a good outfit with the new management.

Hardcore are happy to work on your car even if you don't have an open chequebook...unlike some workshops around the place :(

They also have built some very tough cars, including a 33 gtst which has 795hp at the wheels... >_<

I have also witnessed Dan from Elite Racing attending to a customers car 50 mins away from his workshop and not charge the customer for the call-out...and I have not seen anyone else EVER do this...Dan is first rate :(

well WE are going to WASP on the Gold Coast so ner ner >_<

But yeh, Dan from Elite Racing is a top bloke - you will seriously NEVER, and I mean NEVER find anyone as geniune, kinda hearted, honest and hard working as him.

And yeh, what a good way to start dano4127. Not too stock, but not too heavily modded either. I like :( Hope to see you out n about soon :(

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
