  1. Thats a clever one I like it, these scammers are geting creative now. Thanks for the heads up!
  2. As title, i know the caliper and disks are bigger on the glanza but do they use the same pads. My green stuffs are fully shagged to the end and i need some cheap pads to get me through the next week or so. Also anyone know where i can get cheap pads, are halfords reasonable?
  3. Ooooops told ya, stick a 1.5 paseo lump in it. If i remeber correctly i think its the valve stem seals that are gone on that car.
  4. Yeah man not far at all id be well down 1. Hou 2. badassracer69 3. jason l 4. ste 91 5. Lee Ep82 6. Enzo 7. DavidAshton
  5. Nahhh i dont have a pic looking into the turbo flange but im sure rick does, i guess he does make the with a really good tight seal, ive herd nightpager ones that dont leak so im sure its easy to improve on there design to make one that seals accordingly.
  6. I believe Ricky's are made a lot better than nightpager and are leak free to stop blowing on idle.
  7. All of the above seems a giant ball ache if you just want the sound, get a decat / screamer to run with the internal gate and it will sound just as good, save you a fortune too, external wastegate is only really going to give you better boost control which is overkill in my opinion for a ct9. Swap you decat for one of these and you will be sorted.
  8. All personal opinion really, i think a ct9 / hybrid external wastegate sounds mint, proper brutal but its each to their own at the end of the day.
  9. Glad you get home safe, im David who had the silver glanza the other night. Adam did have some 195/50's on it but one side did rub when people were in the back because it needs an adjustable panhard rod to pull the back end straight. If you not going to have anyone in the back it will be fine. Oil wise its always been run on 10w40 semi sythetic oil.
  10. I thought this was legit, it does look to me like that wastegate has a seprate feed. Maybe not....
  11. Oil! That car always burnt oil when Ben had it before.
  12. FUCK.....thats harsh man, what did you secure the mesh with?
  13. I think you can safely say you have saved this starlet from becoming a proper chav wagon!
  14. He may have sorted it then, its a while since ive seen him now.....good luck with the car, i always thought it had potential just needed to be in the hands of the right person.
  15. Thats my mate Ben's old car, keep an eye on the oil level though, as last time I saw it i was burning quite a lot of the stuff.
  16. It not white and from Rotherham is it? Possibly BUK last three letters of the plate?
  17. Sounds a good plan, you must have deep pockets.
  18. If your planning going forged at a leater date I dont see any problem with 1.2 bar on standard internals, or 1 bar to be safe. Either way it will be a weapon.
  19. Not sure if the same goes for a tongs turbo, but when i was setting the boost off just the actuator on my K1 I had to turn it in LOADS of times, on my ct9 it was boosting .8 when i put it on the K1 it hardly made boost, i had to wind it in about 10 times to get it anywhere near 1 bar, so may be that.
  20. Last night my car failed me again due to the stupid tiny japanese battery, i really should get it replaced but 99% of time its fine so im not. Was at the petrol station but left the lights on whilst i refulled, full tank from bottom to brim so took a few mins, qued, paid etc so 5 - 10 mins in total. Get back to the car and the bitch would start. Was late, not many people about so tried bumping it with little sucess as i could only roll 10m or so on the petrol station forecourt plus i had to push it then jump in. I tired cranking it loads of times hoping some life would be injected from somewh
  21. If i remeber correctly from when i had the red one its Toyota Super Red and code is 3E5. I may be wrong but that came to mind straight away.
  22. I love it, nice to see something different from the usual, nice spec too should be savage when running all set up.
  23. Is there any proof that fuel cut damages the engine? I often hear of people hitting it but never see any posts say 'i hit fuel cut and my engine blew up'. Is it not more a safeguard for the engine to stop it blowing up. Funny topic either way, i like it.
