    When the car is jacked up and in neutral, if an LSD is fitted, you can rotate one of the wheels and the other will spin.

     

    Obviously if it's in gear then both wheels will spin since all cars will have a differential, but in neutral it should not spin.

    This doesnt always work as some need load on them

    The best turbo suited for that power is the TD04L. The spool time is fine, top end is a bonus. It depends on how healthy the engine is as to what you may make, seen it a thousand times. Torque can be just as important as power with some turbo's aswell. From what I can see from the past is everyone that has gone up the power ladder done this and that then either went back to a ct9 or wish they never went past 300 lol

    I would almost put money on a 220-230ish tf035 glanza being quicker than a TD04 one at 240.TF035 is a great turbo

    How's people been getting on with the new mot rules. 

    My glanza needs sorting for next week so been trying to explain to a couple of garages about if they can do the none cat test on my car and so far it's not gone down too well with them, I'm getting the impression that they think I'm trying to tell them how to do there job, one guy told me to go look in the book online so told him to go look in the book haha. 

    Have managed to find one garage that's repared to do a none cat test as long as I say it has the older gt engine fitted before 1993. 

    What do you reckon? Shall I just go with saying that then. I do have a cat on but I have gutted it. 

    Because it should be tested as a Cat vehicle. If someone is prepared to do a non cat test  go for it

    That's just what I was quoted. That included any bodywork repairs. But there isn't that much that needs doing.

     

    I'd be well happy to pay 2K to sort my car out to be fair. But I just want a proper job done on it.

     

    @Jay85 I didn't say shit job, just not concourse. All dings removed and body work fixed for 2K. Paint rubbed back and sorted, and all new seals and what not. Surely the seals alone are going to cost you £1k so you're effectively having the car resprayed for 1K.

    Who quoted you that mate? I can recommend you someone who will be pretty cheap if you wanna pm me

    These cars tend to smoke anyhow. The compression sounds low, sure, but it's not drastically different from 130 psi.

    Is the car smoking loads, or is it only on overrun?

    30PSI is a pretty big difference! Defo something wrong. Personally i think changing one piston is a bodge. Buy another known good engine or rebuild it. Did you do the compression test warm with WOT

    I never understood why people bought ACL bearings if they're only good for such low mileage.

     

    I have to ask Ollie, what are you driving these days? I know you spoke of getting a Honda.

     

    I love Honda's, but a Turbo Starlet is better than most other cars of its class. For performance, price, insurance tax etc etc..

    a Honda lol. Artic Blue DC5, basically standard and seriously capable on track. No headaches and faff with turbos

    JamesD89, Greenlight got back to me, even though their Website wasnt letting me answer all their questions.  Basically they are quoting me £329, which is reasonable, sort of!  Ironic that the last Glanza I owned I'd insured with Highway, same company who are offering Cover through Greenlight. 

    Ollieh17... Why are you knocking Calum's friends car?  It looks a nice car, and it's not being offered for sale, so no need to slag it. Let's play nice.    Jim

    Im not knocking! Previous owner is questionable to say the least. Its an awesome car

    Oh yeah ditto.

     

    This thing has had everything RCM do done to it. Including brand new Six speed box from Subaru. Anti Lag, Carbon prop shaft.

    Very high spec. Gorgous car.

     

    Naturally, not as good as my GT :D Jokes.

     

    Granted, insurance for all of this is somewhat...pricey.

    Been through a few engines hasnt it?
