Hello guys this may sound stupid, has at anyone ever had a smoke down test on any of there cars to check for vac leaks, (I'm sure I got a little one somewhere) and I don't really want to pay out 700 odd quid for the machine, I suppose I'm asking what sort of garages do this type of thing as I been searching the net and can't seem to find why category this would come under, any info would be a great help please guys, and also for peace of mind, due to work commitments at the moment I seriously don't have time to start taking pipes off etc. a quick test should see what's what, thanks lads Pat

Why do I feel now this post is going down like a lead turd 😜😜

Thanks mate 👍🏻 But I do see your point to be fair 😃

Never mind the Price but dont understand why you would put this on any other starlet bar a mk ONE gt

I have a mk 2 mate, car came with the glow panel when I brought it so just lefted it on, this was back in the day of course when I was new to starlets, and just thought they all had them on haha

Maybe put car on axle stands and start it up and get underneath mate👍🏻

Ok own up who's selling a GT glow panel for this price? Do these things actually go for these prices these days I can see it's an absolute minter, but i dunno views on the price?

Pmed mate

Thanks for the write up roach much appericated, little update, after we welded up the blow bit where it was cracked it went back to the mot and they still failed it on lambda emissions, as everyone knows you need to get between 97 and 103, I got 104 dam it, originally it was on 1.12 before the weld and then once that crack was done went to 104,

Anyway thought sod this and just put a universal sports cat on (welded in) back to the mot and straight through it went, co levels were very low, hc levels very low, and no problem with the lambda one,

although it's a sports cat I'm still thinking the car has now been restricted alittle bit

Almost reminds me of the 1990's vauxall tigra

I use toyota ones from the dealer but there are 3 different sizes 👍🏻

These starlet ecu's make the car run richer anyway unless everyone's wrong about that

Never thought of it thy way Colin mate thanks for the info though I will see if this one works if it doesn't I will be pissed

Thanks for the replies lads have decided to buy a sports cat now all this because of car failing emissions

Pmed mate

Has anyone got a cat please for a GT turbo please let me know thanks Pat

Thankyou Daniel mate appericate this, I need to see his mot book for myself he went into a room and didn't return for 15 mins after so god knows what his looking at in there, when I go back I will ask did he do a non cat test last time, but then obviously seems like he didn't due to the results at the end thanks mate

Thankyou for helping guys really appericate this do I actually need a lambda test? I'm on my phone Daniel so can't really see them results, and

On potters one it seems like I don't even need a cat test done, I just need to give him a positive response and say there you go, obviously there is a crack that needs sorting on my back box area which I know will make it go higher but that will be sorted for the part retest on Monday

Found this on line just wondering if anyone can confirm it bearing in mind mine is a 1993 import, and the emissions is the question here, all other checks when they put the pole in the exhaust pasted.

Also my car is not on the annex list.

Thanks guys, Colin mate I am getting that sorted within the next few days as to be fair there is a nice crack there with black soot around it, also I haven't got a cat either,

Gainzy mate this is what I thought aswell being a 93 import but when I go back I need to get these facts right and say you did hear me last time say it was a import also I noticed when they held the throttle on for 3 minutes is it, they done it to 3k revs

Just wondering if anyone could please give me some tips please here,

I had the "exhaust emissions lambda reading 7.3.d.3" today on the mot sheet yes I am pretty pissed at th moment as my car since I had it as always passed it's not.

Ok on "after second fast idle it ended up being 1.12 and I know the limit is 1.03, so now I need to figure out how to get this down, my GT is a 1993 with decat on, lambda sensor is only just over a year old, on the back box hanger there is a crack with black soot around it, (would that course it to be much higher than 1.03?) I told him it was an import so it didn't need a cat being a 1993, just trying to shred some light on this please guys, and if any of you have had higher emission readings before how did you get them down please as need to get car back and retested.

Thanks Pat

Imo does look better mate, can leave it like it is was just wondering if anyone had made a second reverse light

As title states please guys, any one done the both the reverse lights on the ep82 GT turbo mine only have the rear passenger reverse light but would like to get the other side going aswell, just wondering if anyone's done it and what procedure was taken, obviously first step would need a reverse bulb holder, thanks lads

Pat

Also you can actually unclip the inside of the sensor any sensor on the car aswell and reattach the wire 👍🏻
