Need it to finish my build...bank tranfer only!

You bad bad man. Suppose I'm partly to blame Hahahaha.

Your car is looking good Gainzy. However that other Glanza is nicer more of a stock look hahaha

I bet its the tester

Bang on mate. Tested Gainzy's today and it confirmed a duff tester. Will get my hands on another tester that hopefully works

seems odd that you had 30 across all four, I would try a different tester before anything else bud..

This is was what I was thinking as the figures were so low. I'm going to see if I can borrow Gainzy's car and run the tester on his. If it shows similar readings I'll see if I can borrow another from someone else.

It's going forged anyway at some point just trying to determine if it's got to be done sooner rather than later.

Just the usual amount of white smoke from a cold engine that clears up a bit once warmed up. I would have thought it would be throwing out a darker smoke In a higher volume!

That was with throttle fully open.

Thank for the info guys. Any more suggestion?

They seem to be really know. How does the engine start up? If your oil catch can is filling up its signs of rings. But i aint no expert someone here with more knowledge should be able to help

Yeah that was my logic too. That's the thing it idles about 800 once warm and holds it petty well. I personally thought it would idle horribly and throw out quite a lot of smoke too!!

Yeah looks class from the front view. Better without the stipes though. Looks shite from every other angle

I've been suspecting that the rings may have worn as the car has felt underpowered lately and my catch can is filling pretty quickly, about once a month, (250miles). So I done a compression test across a all 4 cylinders and got these results.

Engine details:- Been out for a 20minute drive. 110,000 miles running around 200-210bhp at 1.1bar or 0.7bar. Currently set at 0.7bar.

Each plug when removed had some oil on them too. Indicating ring failure across all 4 cylinders.

1. 30psi 60psi with wet test

2. 30psi 60psi

3. 30psi 60psi

4. 30psi 60psi

Can they really be that low or did I do something wrong? Could the gauge be faulty?

I've currently been saving to get the engine forged (stage 2) anyway but was going to have it done once summer is over. Can I still drive it as is now until the end of summer or is it a case of take it off the road if the figures are correct?

First you want to see my knob then you want my nuts...it comes out on special occasions haha

I want to borrow your nuts since I haven't got any hahaha.

Mine goes lower than that and doesn't come on. Guess I need a new bulb in mine

Since your car never moves Marc. Give me your decat nuts hahaha.

You have a PM mate

As above. Any one got one they aren't using?

You should have posted that car video for "no no no no"

"See" meaning look with the eyes

"Touch" meaning using your hands to feel

Pretty sure I used "see" hahahaha

Got lucky off a hidden parts collector on here, I have never seen one for sale! Yes I prefer these lights not many seem to have this kind

Until I buy another set. I knew I should have kept them for myself hahaha but engine build comes first.

Will call round after work to see what all this fuss is about over this gearknob

Any info on the carbon livesports mate

+1 I want to spend my money

I had an auto aero top N/a. I used to drive it daily for about 18months before I sold it to buy a Glanza. The supra is an awesome car to drive in my opinion and I'll get TT supra one day. The cockpit is great how it's all driver focused and the seating position is just like a go-kart. Boot space is pretty shocking though. You'll be looking at about £3000 for a decent manual N/a. Over all their a good solid car and if looked after will go on and on. However when they go wrong they usually cost a fortune to repair. Running an old 3.0l engine isn't cheap either I was seeing about 15mpg on a regular basis and the tank can take just shy £100 to fill from empty.

R34 GT-R all day long. Closely followed by any other 90's Jdm twin turbo car

Pm sent mate

Cheers mate payment sent

I'll take the wind deflectors PM me payment details cheers

Hahahaha LEGEND!

Yeah the END of the 3rd LEG. Hahahaha.

So after been an absolute penis in trying to sell my glanza and a few nights out on the tiles this man pulled me out of making some stupid decisions lol aka random hero he deserves the hero shot!

Haha you absolute wanker although whoever that drunken mess is I'm sure he is a legend.

Please close, thanks everyone

Hahaha I knew I could convince you. Good man

I vote gun metal grey or anthracite. Something along those lines.

What size fuse should be in mate? And which one is it lol.

The motor is working if you lift the wipers off the screen bit is waking a buzzing noise. If you put the wipers back down they won't move and it buzz's.

Guessing the motor is basically dead. Any ideas where to get a new one from? Rang Toyota and their price is £205 all in without fitting.
