Hi,
I have had this noise since some hundreds kilometres now. Odometer showing 60k Km. MY 2009.
To my experience that’s caused by the crappy original TCT, but I wish to wipe out every doubt.
I recorded this video yesterday. I got a small car show tomorrow, but nothing I cannot skip.

 

Ciao Alessio -- yes it appears to be the TCT -- listen for yourself on the comparison video from Soviet:


Private message Billman250 and buy his unit.

I really miss Italy and my time in Rome. Hope all is well, tutto bene?

 

Ciao buddy! Thanks for replying
Yep, we’re good. It’s been two months since I turned off television, I’m not missing evening news at all. We’re still wearing mask though.
Is the timing chain loseness dangerous?
BTW did you live here?

 

Did you look at the video in Post #2?

That is 100% TCT/chain noise, starting at 15 seconds into the video. Super clear/evident at 23 seconds.

 

There you go, 100% confirmation. PM Billman250 to buy his lifetime unit. Do not use an OEM replacement as it will fail again.

If you can, send your core unit to save some money if you can afford the downtime (and shipping costs).

And yes, I spent 6 months living in Rome last summer. I did not see a single S2000 in Rome, Florence, or Naples!

 

Order a Toda Racing TCT from RHDJapan/Buy Now Japan.

 

The Billman TCT is the gold standard here in the US but I don't think he ships overseas. Just ask him, it's easy.

The highly regarded Toda TCT is about €210 plus shipping and any customs and is a direct purchase. Bill has a core charge which is no big deal if you were in the US.

The sooner you order either the quicker you put your engine right.

I PM Bill but he’s not doing overseas. I’d really appreciate some of you doing the intermediary. If none, I’ll have to pay 380€ for a Toda.
BTW, with yesterday’s oil change the noise drastically diminished but still remains.

 

You should be able to get it a lot cheaper than that if you order directly from Japan.
Unless you got some really crazy import charges?
