Looks like an ebay clutch supplier.. seems legit, just cant understand why its so cheap!
Dont. run, just run.
Techniclutch has the worst rep going. destroyed a brand new clutch in 4 months, was made from absolute cheese

The Celica is fully legal now and took it for a 'spirited' drive yesterday.
Its amazing the way it just pulls and pulls. Found a few teething issues, the front tracking is out, going to swap the front and rear wheels as i could notise the budget tyres on the front. The gearchange doesnt feel that great, and the idle speed was all over the place (mainly sitting at 2k!).
Today i stripped and cleaned the idle control valve, as its common for them to get coked up.
Before:
After:
Replacing the phillips head bolts with actual bolts:
Idle speed now:
Actually.... Im starting to think the idle speed is a bit too low now. I've worked on carburetors where the idle is controlled by a stop screw on the butterfly valve. So whats the purpose of the stop screw on throttle bodies?

The RX8s are a fairly nice thing but will bite you in the arse if you're slack with service intervals, of which there are many.
The way they Rev is hilariously brilliant but power wise I haven't found them overly inspiring either. Never mind replacing rotor tips...
Changing the spark plugs is a ball ache, they require regular oil changes/level checks and once the tips are on the way out they are a nightmare to get started.
I'd sooner buy an older MX5 and boost it.
Isn't all the power at the top of the rev range, so you have to scream the tits off them?

New/temporary car for the summer.
Got it dirt cheap as it needed a bit of tlc. Disks+pads all round, handbrake cables, power steering pump + cooling pipe.
Booked in for MOT Monday, excited to get back on the road

I have this massive urge to go put bread in every orifice.
Wouldn't put it past you

Mine are pretty equal on my pinky, ring and middle finger on both hands.
I suspect that's where the main load is when im gripping handlebars, and my index fingers are fine due to one finger braking.
-
You've got them on your fingers?
I've got mine on my palm just before the fingers

i use car washer jet hose. Its pretty soft/flexable, so you can get away with ID being smaller than the end of the syringe.

What about cat 5 data cable?
im not 100% sure, but i dont think cat 5 is usually shielded?
Cat 5e or cat 6 might do the job though.

I think the brake cables dont help. I cant stop staring at how wrapped around the steer tube they are

my supershitty pump (for schrader valves) fits almost exactly on the head of the shroud nut. put your finger on the the bleed hole to block it. then blow the piston out. might take some time to move it and might not work if they are stuck really hard. but worth a try before running outand searching for a compressor
i've cut a schrader valve off an old inner tube before, and jammed that in the end of the master cylinder. Its usually a tight fit for the m8 holes.

Done my first official half marathon today.
1 hour 51, some of the hills were absolutely brutal, but smashed my personal best for 15k, 10miles, 20k and half marathon!

My reason for not liking Tensiles...

my mate ran one on his limey. i had a go on it, did 3 gaps and snapped a link in half.
I've ran a single half link when dealing with crap chainstay lengths/gear ratios and had no problem with that, but i wouldn't run a full half link chain

Apparently they're cheap clutchs from china rebranded. When i looked into it, theres people having to take them to small claims court, ect to get their money back. By the sounds of it not many people got refunds or labour bills paid, so i didnt bother. (the clutch came on the car i brought, so i technically didnt buy it. )
first page of google says enough:
