Each to their own but AA were very good to me during my engine builds and i couldn't ask for better service. Also gave up a weekend to put together a new engine for our modified drag car when it threw a leg out of bed a few seasons ago. That is good customer service.

If we are doing for and against for different shops I'd like to put one against A.D.S as they were f***ing useless.

Broke one of my JUN cams ( Then proposed we go halves on a replacement) And when i said that wont be good enough they went ahead and ordered one but they ordered a 272 to replace my 264 and then shimmed the head up to suit the wrong cam while they were at it!!!!!!!! While i was changing the cam to the correct one i found that they had chewed out the thread on one of the bolts that hold the cam in and it was hanging by a thread and on top of all that they charged me a motherload to get the rest of the work done. I will most certainly be avoiding them in the future because charging me more than the agreed price because they had problems that THEY CAUSED in the first place and then i find out they have replaced the broken part with whatever cam they could find for the right price just isn't good enough.

See Mrsparkles I had a similar issues with AA, and they didn't do things I asked them to do and arrrrrrrrr don't get me started. BUT i believe that these issues could have been a once off. Every company makes mistakes every now and then. what I have learnt is do not pay a cent to any company until you have inspected and MEASURED every thing a company has been asked to perform.

So everyone is happy with southsides then ?

Have heard a few scary stories but with the volume of work they get through, some of those stories don't surprise me.

They are also the only mob that would weld my crank up.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      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

      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.
