Perfect seller 5*'s cheers mate. Item well received!

Well for starters, dismantle the column from the car. And just have a look at what is giving play, I doubt it's the bearing, probably something has come loose. Either way you're talking an hour MAX to dismantle investigate and reassemble with minimal tools.

The bearing they're probably referring to is the one above my calipers there. I wouldn't have thought that is serviceable, not even sure how one damages that bearing. It does look like it's locked in with some type of circlip, and the parts diagram show it can be disassembled.

Yeah I just whacked some hammerite on it for now. I will have the shell resprayed at some point, but basically I came to the boot and it was full of water and I was worried it was going to rot out. I also had loads of dynamat in the boot which was a nightmare to remove.

I used acetone (nail varnish removal)

Yeah colin what did you find out in the end?

Nick posted the diagram you need to show them. You need to ask them to test it against the engine code on the chassis which is 4efte which they won't find and therefore can't test against. It could be excessive emissions which is over 3% on idle. And if that's the case you will need to sort it out. Won't need a cat but will need sorting. It will say on the failure sheet what the emissions was. If they failed it with emissions less than 3% then you need to tell them they got it wrong.

Yes that's also true, but as Nick pointed out, he contacted them and it's explicitly what I just described. They WILL NOT find the engine code 4efte in their reference manuals, therefore they cannot test it against UK regulations. As fair as the UK is concerned, that engine never made it to UK roads, therefore there is no test against it. They have to test it against the wider range which was just a non-cat test

From what's been described above, 4EFTE WILL NOT show up on their records. Therefore it is a NON-CAT Test at 3% idle. If your car isn't passing those sorts of levels at idle then something is seriously wrong and you would want it checked out.

No it is a lovely colour your car. I do want to see some better photos of it when you get a moment. It looks fantastic.

Well it's not filtering the air is it, you're just stopping big stuff going in there. But think once the engine has spun the turbine to compress as much air as possible, leaves and shit will just get consumed through the mesh. Now I know lots of people run it that way etc etc, I just think it's so hacky when a filter is literally only going to cost you like a pony at max. Kate sounds like you need to better relocate your air filter. Just whack on something like that. Was literally a 10er for two filters nice and maneuverable....

Yes mate absolutely lovely!

Someone will be along to say, but I was under the impression it was by the glove compartment, or am I thinking of the fuel relay...

Tidy, my GT is just a tad quicker than an EP3. But it's pretty stock. It's amazing what you get for the money. I guess on acceleration due to the way VTEC is going to deliver it's power, any turbo car is going to be quicker than an EP3. But I still love that car cause it's just a well planted base that is screaming for a turbo conversion.

But the seats are identical, so would the glanza rails not bolt onto the seat itself. I doubt Recaro would have designed two completely different seat mechanisms for the same seat. It's likely the rails are the only thing you would need to swap. Presumable with some Glanza rails. Either way, it wouldn't be hard to fabricate new rails to suit.

Nice :D

Does look epic that!

They're probably custom. There is a thread on TGTT about a chap who made some like this. http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/community/index.php?threads/anyone-identify-these-headlights.71237/

Time Warp :)

Lovely looking GT there bud.

Yeah it's an interesting one. The mounts might be different. But the fitments to the chassis are the same. Best to get one with the rails if you ask me.

You may have a point there, but it's all context. 90 past a school at 15:15 provides a greater risk than 90 on the motorway at 03:00. Also, we may live in built up areas where such speeds is unattainable, I'm by no means excusing it (take it to the track), but in the arse end of no where...the risk is greater reduced. By no means excused however!

Pretty sure the GT seats with GT rails fits straight into the EP91. I gave a pair of mk2 seats that a chap fitted into his UK Spec 91.

I guess it must be frustrating for people like yourself that work hard on a pride and joy and take the car to its limits on the correct place, which is a track.

Aww that's wicked :D
