Have had my Harrow for over two years now and can,t rate it highly enough. Give the car really good linear power and makes it great to drive on the road. Mine was mapped at 252 bhp at the rear wheels. All done by Mark at Abbey.

All the best, i'm keeping mine til it dies  Then I might get another one 

@Bfranklyn86 No, initially I was going to but the Cobra HFC in but then just went with them putting their own HFC in. It's pricey, but it's a bit of a work of art, it's not a Japspeed manifold at the end of the dayl... Picture of it finished, i'm too excited to get some figures out of it.

Hi
I have had mine for about 18months now and it has totally been replaced by Abbey. Every part has been modified from the original.
Good Luck

Hi
My Toyota dealers in Asford have been okay with my two services to date. But will be taking it to Abbey in the future as they are the specialist for around the Kent area.

That will be 100 pounds to you. Cheap at double the price

So the time finally came, it's been a long time coming but I've finally got the wheels that I've been meaning to get for a while now (thanks Adam). These are the Gram Lights (Rays) 57Getters in 18x9.5Jet40 wrapped in 235/40R18 Pirelli P Zero Nero I think. Sadly they were in a bit of a rough state so had to have them refurbished but they came out nice and shiny. As you can see, they sit rather nicely and only just peeking out on the sides. What I will say though is that the tyres are a bit too stretched for my liking, probably why they were kerbed so much before so might need to go 245 next time. So far they feel good (though not done that many miles in them yet) but they'll be my daily's while my Japan Racing JR3's will be used for track only.
Not only that, some of you know that my car was at RRG last week for some work, and some of you already know what that was. As you may know, I was having issues with my previous set of coilovers (HSDs) with a knocking sound from the front right and after Lauren, Kevin and Jeff test drove my car, they could tell something wasn't right. So after a couple of rides in a couple of different setups, I went the safe route (rather than trying something completely different to everyone else....however awesome the Yellow Racing coilovers look) and brought the Tein Mono Sport coilovers with 8kg front springs and 9kg rear springs. The HSDs were 9kg/7kg and I sat in Mike's Mono Sports but with 6kg/7kg springs I think and I was hoping for something in-between the two which I think the 8kg/9kg achieves somehow. To add to this, the Tein's adjusters are all on top, it makes it a million times easier to adjust and if/when I get the EDFC remote control unit, it'll be even easier to adjust from within the car either manually or automatically. When full soft, they ride over the small road imperfections perfectly so 85% of the time they are great, however the off 15% of the time, it sometimes feels like the suspension can't react quick enough when going over big bumps and dips which causes the car to bounce a lil more than before. When on full stiff, they're great again over big bumps and dips just like the HSD's but then like the HSD's, they cause the car to jiggle around a lot more over small road imperfections, so at the moment I'm on full soft on daily drives, but then full stiff (or there abouts) when on track and if I forget to adjust them on the way home, it's not going to break my back. I can definitely feel the 9kg at the rears working, when going around the corner, you can feel the rears are on edge more which makes it a lil more drift happy me thinks.....not a bad thing
You may also know that I've been having some issues with the front K Sport brakes where I was suffering from long brake pedal travel. We couldn't see why it would do this, there was plenty of fluid, no leaks, and the pads had been replaced recently....but low and behold it was actually the pads, even though they were part worn, there was plenty of meal on them, but after 3 months (though it did include 2 trackday, 1 sprint and a CAT Driver course, but still) it had worn down to barely nothing at all (though braking power was still good, it would stop, you just needed to put your foot down a lot further which made toe heeling very difficult). I think there was actually something wrong with the pads as they were chipping a bit initially, they probably just crumbled to this state considering how much they travelled initially. But now that I have some fresh new EBC Yellowstuff pads, the travel is back to being high up again and the brakes were performing wonderfully at Anglesey this weekend, so all is good once again!
So a big thanks to those who gave me a ride in their different setups, thanks to those who test drove my car and gave me their opinions on my HSDs and thanks to Rich, Gary and everyone at RRG for their work and short turnaround on my car last week. The HSD's really weren't bad at all, I think I could have easily kept them if they weren't knocking, but now with the added bonus of no knocks, top mounted adjusters and the option to go EDFC, I think it's definitely a good option to take. Hmmmm.....just need to see what's next on the list

Hi Mark could be interested after the testing is complete.

Looks good hope you enjoy it as much as I do the Harrop.

Good work with the pics

Hi
Have just had a Harrop Supercharger fitted, so for sale is my Blitz Suction Kit £75 plus postage. Can bring to Japfest if sold before.

After the previous false start the brakes are on without any major issues.

Have had the Harrop fitted now for a couple of day and find that it makes the car so much easier to drive. You don't need to rev the car to the red line in each gear as the torque is enough to get you where you want to be. This is probably the same with all the FI types but does make the car easier to drive in my opinion.

Hi
Just a quick update. Have dropped my car off with Abbey this morning to have the Harrop fitted and Mark to perform his magic with the tunning.
Cant wait to get it back.

Hi
Am having the Harrop fitted by Mark at the beginning of April, so if your going to be at Japfest we could talk about how it's going.

Hi
have also been out in Marks Harrop charged 86 and agree with all your sentiments.
In fact I liked it so much have booked in to have one fitted in April. Now like a kid waiting to get into the chocolate factory.

Wheels look really good.

Am having mine fitted in April, but best ask Mark via a private message for an actual quote
