Where to buy Speedsource shift bushings

[SimonC_Here]

As per title.
Google comes up with hundreds of forum posts where people have them listed in their sig lines.

I've looked at  m http://www.speed-source.net/ m  but was wondering if there is any uk places selling them.

Not aware of a UK source Simon, although I discussed this with custard recently and its perhaps something he can add to his portfolio if there's enough interest.

TwosRus are your best bet - reasonable shipping and quick delivery.
Clicky

Perhaps save a bit on postage by putting a shout out for folk looking for droplinks and poly bushes too? I could use a few things from them at the mo  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

I bought mine direct from Speed Source last year $26, no extra for international shipping   s:D s:D

Now that's a good deal!  s8) s8)

Me too, think I paid about the same IIRC.

Looks like speedsource it is then. Sorry Ste!

I'm not gonna try and beat that price! Still worth making myself a set though.

might be worth trying GTSChris, He lists  these in his site. It does not say what mr2 they are for though, i would imagine the MK2 but still worth a try?

[SimonC_Here]

Ordered from GTSChris in the end.
His website is shockingly bad though.
Errors on asking for delivery price.
Registering to buy things requires all fields to be filled in including company and telephone (although it will accept "none" and "00000").
Unfortunately it doesn't tell you that until you try to move to the next page and it takes you to an error page.
Paypal secure payment then takes you back to an 404 page after the transaction.
We'll see how quickly it arrives though.

Make sure you've got the sticking plaster handy, and something to wipe the blood off your turbo.

And if you've still got your nappy on make sure you don't drop anything, especially the pins!   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Here endeth the first lesson of fitting Speed Source bushings. They don't put this on their instruction sheet.   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

There is a how to in the appropriate section, these things are a bugger to fit.

Lol, yes i think he will.  s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Job done. thanks for reminding me I had left the car wide open to cool down before I came in!

Took about 15 minutes in the end. 5 of those in the half light looking for one of the clips that I had dropped. Found it behind the wheel arch plastics.

Oh, and spiked myself on the braided hose for the turbo coolant return  s:( s:(  Turbo wipes clean though!

Will have to see what it's like tomorrow, but I can get into all the gears.   s:bounce: :bounce: s:bounce:

Well shifter feels more connected which is always good. And I can get all the gears easily.
Needs a proper run out to make sure it is all fitted correctly.

This is why I learnt to hate any braided hose that doesn't have finishers on the end  s;) s;)  It's like working in an engine bay filled with hypodermic needles.

Top tip: Wrap several layers of insulation tape around braided hose before you cut it, then leave the tape on there with another couple of added layers - saved my hands many times  s:) s:)  Or buy (expensive) finishers and clamps - don't buy cheap ones, though, because as I found out, you can never get enough tension on the clip.


Anyway - glad you got the SS bushings fitted  s:) s:)

[roger]

Well done Simon..........not too much blood letting then, and I did warn you about dropped clips   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

[SimonC_Here]

I managed to knock it off the cross member where I'd put it so it would be handy   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  
I didn't hear it hit the floor and it wasn't on any of the visible parts so I was feeling a little like James Herriot, up to my shoulder behind the light.

Getting a pair of pliers on the c clips was the hardest part.

I've had the same issue with the braded hoses and have wrapped loads of insulation around the ends to help as well  s:? :? s:?

[aaronjb]

It only really works if you do it before cutting the hose, unfortunately - once the strands are splayed out it's a nightmare to get them to behave again  s:( s:(

And.. sorry, we're drifting, aren't we   s:oops: :oops: s:oops:
