  1. You will need to get it fitted by an approved fitter to get CAT1 status for the insurance company.
  2. Will you post me the fenders yet? https://www.paisleyfreight.com/ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bubble-Wrap-100m...=item3a64ae6b1e
  3. Happened on my old car, had to replace the clutch even though the one I pulled out had plenty of meat on it it started slipping. It was an exedy paddle I pulled out and stock replament I put in. Was fine after.
  4. Well another clean and the final part transfered from the silver car. Really loving how well it looks after a clean, the paintwork comes up so well. Fitted the rear arb, luckly nothing went wrong this time, checked and double checked all bolts etc lol. You can just about see it in these pics. It has made a nice subtle difference but less of a difference that I felt with the silver car, this car has the rear strut brace though and generally felt a lot tighter than my last car so I image thats why the difference is less notable. I really like how the splitter-less rear bumper shows off the arb so I will be keeping it like this for now, no plans for a rear oem lip for this one. I have also added a little 5zigen decal, i think that will be it for decals on this car too. Quick pic of the exhaust sitting in the middle, compared to the first few pics in this thread it looks a hell of a lot better in the middle. I pretty much think this completes this project for now. It has enough power without pushing reliability, economy is there if you drive it sensible, it drives so nice off boost but the power is there when you want it, interior is just a nice place to be with super comfy seats, exterior is in perfect condition, handling feels a tight package now with all the components in place, no leaks, bangs or annoying rattles. It seems pefect as it is. Just going to keep on top of the servicing with best parts and enjoy it and save some money hopefully! Winter wheels will be going on next month so will update how it looks with them.
  5. Can do if you want. PM me your number or something.
  6. It's all cleaned off now, was last week it happened now. You cant even tell it happened apart from the lil drip the keeps coming from the bonnet underskin. Fitting the rear arb tomorrow off the old car then that's all the parts transferred over. Hope nothing goes wrong with that lol.
  7. I checked the oil level soon as it happened and it had hardly dropped at all on the dipstick from being topped up, so no worries about the engine.
  8. Seen as I dont need to buy anything for this car I though id treat it to a best parts service, full coolant flush, fan temp switch changed etc: Mega oil this, car feels so much better running on this stuff! All went fine, next morning check levels etc, top up oil, leave oil cap off ftw! NOT! Went out blasting and it stunk of oil, couldnt work out what was wrong, pulled up on my drive and see smoke coming out of the bonnet! Manifold on fire! Luckly I blew it out without any trouble but it left me with this mess: So yeah, never going to do that again, oil is still slowly seeping down the front of the bumper as its stuck under the skin of the bonnet! Got my exhaust straightened too. Feels like a different car after the service, totally loving the TD04 now.
  9. Glanza fuel hole is massive, you can pull the nossle out and brim it, i always do this.
  10. Ooooooooo, I remeber asking about this ages ago. Look forward to seeing if you can get it working with the switch aswell!
  11. How are you measuring temps, with an external gauge or the stock gauge? Chances are thermo is stuck open and is the easiest and cheapest thing to try first anyway.
  12. Club White 98 Spec ftw! Looks a treat!
  13. Dammmmn that exhaust looks good on your car! Kinda wish id made the effort to put it on my new car. Lol at all the bubble wrap in the pic, was a right mission wrapping the bloody thing!
  14. You wont get a CAT1 cert for insurance if its not fitted by an approved installer.
  15. Id be interested if they were JDM chequred style like so:
  16. Mehhhh would take the fenders if you would post. Kent is a bit too far for me.
  17. Location and price on vented fenders please?
  18. They DID make a Glanza kit, its just not listed anymore. They may still make it and we all may be able to get it direct from them.
  19. Ive just emailed them, will update if anything comes of it.
  20. http://www.mygarage-glasgow.co.uk/pages/In...ndiglodials.htm This is the supplier who makes them and they dont even list Glanza Dials anymore......
  21. Id like to know where you can get them from these days too, none on ebay or TMD now?!?!?!?!
  22. Turbo will run off actuator presure like that so its fine. The nipple is for the bob so if your not running one it can be blocked.
