  1. ^^ Bloody attached files again! Cant see shit!
  2. Had more pics than i though of the JAM one, still no idea whats under the hood though
  3. My personal favourite, got a few more pics ill upload when i get home.
  4. I think it is, well silicone gasket sealant. Im guessing the turbo outlet wont be as hot as an exhaust? So safe yeah?
  5. As above, My intercooler pipe the bolts to my ct9 isn't perfectly straight so it boost leaks sometimes. So i thought i would use gasket sealant to get a pefect seal on the join. Checked out some stuff at halfords today and its rated upto 200 degrees. Will it be safe to use and not get too hot? Thanks David
  6. Maybe with other cars but im certain it doesnt apply to starlets. We are going way off topic here but im bored and feel the first question has been answered so i will continue. 100% bog standard glanza, check the height 100% bog standard n/a, check the height Pics arnt the best for a comparison but you can see they run what look to me identical heights, and without checking im almost certain glanza and n/a suspension will use the same part numbers. SO in turn 40mm springs would lower both, the same......
  7. ^^ Are you sure, never herd that one before? Im certain standard glanza shocks / springs ar the exact same as na shock / springs. A standard glanza looks same height as an n/a to me.
  8. ^^ Why would 40mm spring lower an n/a but not a Glanza, its the same car???? Either way id stay clear, do it cheap do it twice 'springs' to mind
  9. Are you sure its them stem seals? Have you changed turbo as you may have fubared the seals running with no oil thus causing smoke?
  10. Foooooookin gutted for you mate, really wanted to see this at the manc meet. Always did seem a bit dodgy the forgedness of this motor though. What are your plans now?
  11. Nahhhhhhh your thinking all wrong Take the pipe off that bolts to the turbo, check the flat bit that seals agains the turbo is flat.
  12. Also cheshire, what did you do to get your flange sorted? I took the gasket out and its ok sometimes but leaks others. Was going to try that gasket paste stuff this weekend see if its shuts it up for good.
  13. look at the flange side on, if its flat its ok, if its not its going to leak.
  14. Ahhhhh my appologies. Firstly check the flange where the pipe joins to the turbo! I had a boost leak for over 2 months spent fookin hours trying to find it, turns out it was the flange was not straight. If that dont work Build a boost leak tester like so
  15. Glad your on top of it Mark / Luke, hope to se it on the 6th. As above cant see how it can move unless there was only one bolt in the decat.
  16. Nice alloys.
  17. Lol at that pic dual spoilers ftw!!! And yeah im always hunting out ep91 hidden treasures lol
  18. Thats a sard sports cat http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl...26safe%3Dactive
  19. hahahahaha i think someone needs to remember to press the log out button before leaving there computer.
  20. You should be able to get a ct9 spooling at any revs, there tiny. I can get mine to 1.1 bar at just over 2k.
  21. I run mine stripped on a daily basis, 50 mile round trip to work and i'm just used to the noise dont even notice it. Its funny when people get in my car and ask how i live with the noise, im so used to it i dont have a clue what there on about. Performance point of view id say it improved handling more than anything.
  22. Ive got them rims but in 15's they are nice
  23. What you getting? Do i already know? Text me!
