Just power wash the bastard! Will get rid of any bits of metal filings etc!

Usually drink, usually dance, usually bubble !!! Chillax boiz!

I lol'd at that! ;)

I'm interested babes! But like the others said, get your license first and stop getting ahead of yourself! Nuttaaaa!

Your car looks so tasty mate! Lurve it!

Oooh that makes me quite excited! Looks sooo clean! Love it !

Not a problem mate, anytime! Hahah jest, I think I did wish ya good luck though! Teeheehee! So I'm guessing its all done now?? Lovely stuff bud! Get zie pics up!

A lid... for sports...duh! I lie. What the shit is a sports lid ?! ?!

Leave the wheels black and don't listen to these chumps, that bonnet looks noice!

Mate! I've had the BOV in pieces numerous times!! Used surgical pliers to get that feckin' circlip out, but anyway, had the brass piston out and cleaned it and the inside of the BOV with WD40 (had lots of grime in there). it didn't seem too siezed in the first place to be honest. I then replaced the piston and used 3 different types of lube, multipurpose grease, CV grease and then multipurpose lubricant oil...also tried it with no lube, just really well clean, but with the MP grease it worked for a day or two...I noticed that the brass piston has been scored quite badly...£85 down the fuckin' drain, pissing me right off! I do have some autoglym metal polish so will give it a go...

Any ideas?

Hey, My brother bought a Blitz BOV for his GT4 awhile back and over easter he came home with his car,so naturally I asked him to take me out for a spin in it...and I noticed that the BOV wasn't working at all! He thought the flutter he was hearing was the BOV dumping (muppet, I know!). So I initally thought it was siezed; so I took it all apart, cleaned it and greased it with multipurpose grease. It worked fine for 2 days or so then stopped working. Having bought it off someone who said they were running it on a GT4 running 1.2Bar I assumed it could have had a harder spring in it...so I bought a standard spring from Blitz UK...tried that, and nothing! Still didn't dump!! I then resorted to taking it apart, cleaning it up again, using some multipurpose oil and cutting 3 coils off of the old spring, it now dumps but no where near as loud as it should and not cosistently (i.e. its a bit tempermental - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt) Anybody have any other ideas? What else can I try? Cheers.

I get 240/250mi from a full full tank! May be a float/gauge problem though as the gauge can be tempermental at times!

Ouch mate!! Must sting a bit lol. Hope you get better soon!

And maybe a RX-7, R34 and new GTR....be pushing it though!

Looks stainless to me too, but SPS mani's are mild steel only...maybe polished mild steel? lol

Rough estimate found in the house was around $ 204,000,000.00 US Do you reckon they actually sleep on that bed of money?? lol

Nice car mate! Much done to it?

He says that the ones he sells are slightly different and have a greater clamping force, but when I contacted CAP and asked them what clutch they do for a Starlet they told me the MR2 one linked above...surely if they did make slightly altered ones just for a Starlet they would've told me...hence why I'm wary of Speedvision's clutches...

Welcome to the Layer Cake son!

Cheers Yeah, you should start selling these! Very good clutches for the money ! I know you need margins for profit, which is ofcourse fair, just don't do what speedvision does and add another £80+ ontop of the price direct from CAP...its madness! lol

It was about a week..but they emailed and apologised because it was a national holiday and said sorry it was taking awhile to dispatch...but a week isn't that bad at all anyway!

yeah sorry lol. The starlet clutch is actually an MR2 clutch. I personally e-mailed CAP and asked what clutch fits a starlet, and it is this one: http://capclutch.com/mr24cyl16l86.html It was a perfect fit and is rated for 265lb/ft torque.

Hey mate, I have a CAP paddle clutch which I bought because my old clutch was slipping. Went up to see the mechanic when he had the old one out, and the clutch plate itself was in great condition! But he showed me how the cover plate was badly worn and the flywheel had tonnes of high spots, so he said the slipping I was feeling wasn't the clutch plate but rather the worn pressure and flywheel plate which was allowing the clutch to spin freely without being held. When I got home I checked receipts that I got with the car, and the previous owner had bought a new clutch plate but hadn't replaced the pressure plate/release bearing, so they had probably been in the car since 1994 lol. Anyway, the mechanic sent off my flywheel to be skimmed and as you know the CAP clutch comes with a new cover plate, its been in well over a month and I don't have a single complaint. Easy to drive, holds the power well, doesn't slip at all. Cost me £130 delivered from www.capclutch.com - that price cannot be beaten tbh. I say go for it mate!

Phew, thats fair enough then! Out of curiousity, how much is he paying ??
