  • Well, that’s more or less helped me decided not to respray my alloys Orange! I quite liked them up until the point they were on the van - but it a bit too much. On the plus side, sets of the indicators though ?! Doesn’t look terrible but not a big fan. 10/10 for effort though- don’t know until you try right?

    • The photo - sent in by one of the Borrowers - doesn't do it justice.... I demand a more posed retake similar to the last van pic for comparison purposes.

      • TTV have contacted me this morning to progress the SMF.
        We're going to work on a 600Nm fast road unit first.
        They can put a clutch package together to suit as well although I've got this covered with off the shelf components.

            There's more in flickr (set to private) but they are much the same, backed up against a wall and a car in the next space, dirty van, shaded side and poor pomposition - wheels are still gash though.

            Yep temporary - ish.

            Found some more last night that I've been looking for for months - this set was £600 less than what I've seen them for elsewhere. Typically they come up after I've paid for a set of tyres on the orange rims, could swap them...

            No cash at the moment - because tyres and clutch! Oh and starter motor in the family car.

            Don't want no grabby puck setup.

            Pretty sure my mates running the 228 VR setup with 480 brake - no problems

              I know any suggestions would be dissed, but its too "hotwheels" currently, why not leave the recesses orange and blow the faces over in the vans' grey?

              Its what we all say, but surely T4 ownership is about exactly that, reusing what you have but with a little flair and creativity?
              The two T5's I mapped this week were completely blinged up, drive-in conversions - clueless owners, financed up to the hilt and wanting more....
              Its not the way,...

              Me neither but don't see this being a problem, but if I'm fitting a new setup I'm not doing it by internet rumour and guess work.
              Mine has held so far, but theres more torque and bhp to be had.

              Theres tons of examples of the 228mm/28 petrol setups running almost to 600bhp, so the tested shelf parts are there already but no truly specced & tested flywheel for the T4.
              Unless someone out there can advise otherwise?
              I agree with you that the Valeo is great value for money but they recommend it for OEM and standard outputs.
              It would be nice to long-term test...

                There's only one way they could be made worse and you just nailed it. Think I'll just kerb them a bit, shitted up with brake dust they'll be fine.

                did they have the required built not bought stickers?

                merc segins. different but not eye popping enough - may have to stay with bandeds - but finding some donors that clear my brakes is tricky.

                It's a solid flywheel - it'll be fine.

                • You could really tie those alloys in with your van by getting some of Tiki Clark's orange palm trees for it, perfect match bud. [emoji106]
