    Hello all,

    I need pointing in the right direction for a few things and thought, where better to ask?

    i) I'm looking for where I could find a decent diff for a 1st gen Mazda MX-5?

    ii) I'm looking for a Head Gasket set for a Nissan 200sx (S13) ca18-det. J spec engine?

    iii) Where can I get a handbrake system to fit a Mazda RX-7 FD?

    iv) Where, if anywhere, I could get a tv unit for a Toyota Soarer?

    Weird selection of bits, but I thought that people on here would know of good places to go for most of it.

    Cheers

    Rob

    for the tv screen for the sorear is it because it is a inport and wont work in the uk or is it broke

    the sx head gasket set what do you mean there is only one gasket for the head or do you mean all the garskets for a engine build

    do you want a uprated head gasket or standard

    The TV in the soarer doesnt work (its a H reg). All the buttons around it make a sound, but the screen itself which appears to be touch screen doesnt work. The car is an import, and I dont know if the screen was all in japanese or not?

    As far as the gaskets go, a set is cool, but only a standard. Doesn't need to be anything fancy.

    if it is a head gasket you want go to nissan or just get a uprated one they are probley the same price

    you only need a full gasket set if you are rebuilding the engine

    i no some sorear screen,s dont work in the uk but you can get a chip to convert them so they do but it depend,s if your,s is fooked or not

    Cool cool,

    The Soarer TV unit appear to work, however nothing appears on the screen. If you touch the screen in certain places, namely bottom right to middle, then there is a beep.

    I'm wondering whether its a known thing with them and you can replace the screen fairly cheaply. Any ideas on availability on prices for replacements?

    Thanks
    Rob
