  1. Why don't you just get one made. Surely you could have a custom job for less....
  2. Or just stop being a baby and fix it. It's only money mate. No point stressing out about it. At the end of the day what is money. It's not like it's backed by gold anymore. It's simply based on economy and that is just a made up word. Just fix it. If it's gone back then yes it's probably cause a bit of damage, but guaranteed it's nothing you couldn't fix on the cheap and turn the boost back down lmao.
  3. I'm a massive film buff. I skipped that Dredd cause I love the original with Sylvester. And watched the remake of total rekall and that was crap. But The new Dredd is bloody Awesome. Mainly cause he never takes his helmet off so you can pretend it was Sylvester if you're sad like me. But mainly because it kept the 1980's gore element. Much like the original robocop. Good film Dredd
  4. No, that must have been my brother. When was this? He didn't mention it or I wasn't paying attention. But I have a feeling you drove past me one Saturday evening when I was working on my car on the drive. I was going to flag you down on the way back but must have missed you. Black Glanza in the Hatherly area. I did put up a little thread on here about it. ​ ​My car is still off the road but his TD04 is going strong
  5. Ollie you'll have to give me a heads up when your car is fixed. Me and my brother both have EP82's and are from Gloucester, well cheltenham but close enough.
  6. Love your car Charlotte. The photo on your page makes it look so phresh! ​ ​You got any more recent ones?
  7. Lol. 2.8 Bar that's hilarious
  8. ​Lol I Was watching it and was like meh, can't remake the first one that's a classic wait WHAT! Yeah that looks mint Love a bit of Arnie
  9. My car there is a receipt for it for £900 and they had it advertised for £1800 I got it for £1600 with their 'promise' that it didn't need that much work. ​ ​Tell you what! I've already spent over 1K on it, and I haven't even touched the engine yet.... ​ ​Doesn't bother me cause that's exactly why I bought the car. To rebuild it. I don't care if I don't drive it.
  10. And Uhh I'm shamed to say my Starlet is a high wycombe special! And guess what...it's outside the front of my house on axle stands. haven't driven it since I bought it. But I don't hold that against the car. It's nearly as old as me. It's looking sweet for its age/
  11. Woa Woa Woa! ​ ​He's got a point though, wait your cars can't handle 2.8 Bar? Mine does ​ ​Mate I BET THAT WAS FUCKING RAPID! Well you know up to the point it blew up haha! But you must have been fucking grinning to fuck.

  13. Got mine already. Super fast postage. And I LOVE IT! Will definitely be getting another couple of these over the months. They look awesome. Love the forum name on there as well. So fair play to you haha
  14. ​ ​Does someone want to let me in on this...I bought my car from some VERY SUSPECT sellers from that very same area. Condition was about the same...
  15. Still for sale pal? PM me if it is?
  16. Oh yes mate. You car looks very rude with them on....
  17. Preferably off the wires that turn the lights on mate. So spur off the clock lights. That's where mine are going. Then they're only on when it's dark.
  18. LUSH weekend. Got a few things done to the GT but definitely not going to be able to drive it till next year :(

  19. I need my own pad. Life at home is too easy but the one thing that bugs me, the ONLY thing that bugs me. Not having FULL reign of the garage. I respect that other people need to use it but how am I suppose to build engines in there if I can't leave it for a week knowing that noone has moved anything lol. I don't want to move out with someone. I fancy getting a coach house. My own space and my own garage for me bikes and cars....that, for me, is the dream.
  20. Yo! So I tried doing a little researching before I started this and knew roughly what had to be done but was unsure about how to go about it. Being new to these cars I wasn't sure what needed doing. So I've decided to take the time to contribute back to the forum and hopefully add some value. Difficulty: EASY! So if you've got a GT Turbo (Probably similar approach for Glanzas) then you'll notice that there isn't an oil pressure gauge. If you want to go about installing, oil pressure or temperature then you will need a way to tap into the circulating oil. The oil filter sandwich plate will allow you to do this. First head over to IDWorkz and navigate to your car and buy the sandwich plate. Will be around the £30 mark. You will need: Decent socket set with - - 12mm Socket - 14mm Socket - Dremel (Or other metal filing tool) I was doing a million and one things when I did this modification so the engine bay is a little sparse. I've also never had an air condition unit but I'd imagine that will want removing. I stripped out the radiators, intercooler pipe work, washer bottle. But you could get away with none of that it just makes it much easier to work with. I was doing other stuff to the car so that's why it's out. You will need to undo the powersteering belts so to do this you will need to slacken off some of the 14mm bolts that hold it into place. There is a bolt that allows the pulley to pivot through a slot. Slacken the 14mm nut off that this will allow you to adjust the height of the power steering pulley and remove the belt. Where you can see this cable tie is where you will find the 14mm nut Slacken the long 12mm bar seen in this photo to allow the removal of the belt. (Mine was seized rock solid. Some plusgas went a long way and then be sure to regrease it all back up for future use.) To allow me to work on this continually I cable tied the pulley to the front bumper hangers. So back to this photo. I used cable ties at the pulleys highest point to stop it getting in the way. There are then two 12mm bolts that need undoing to free the bracket from the car. This one can be reached from topside using a 12mm socket on an extension. It sits just above the oil filter and behind the pulley. Here is a photo of the second 12mm bolt that needs undoing. This can be reached from underneath the car right next to the oil fiter housing. Remove the current oil filter and catch the excess oil safely. You should now be able to remove the bracket safely. Because you may need several attempts at this it's worth bunging up the oil filter housing holes with a few bits of clean paper to stop crap getting into them whilst you take measurements. With the bracket now free you will be able to machine it effectively without damaging the housing. You don't need to go crazy on the bracket. It just wants a few mm shaved off to allow the sandwich plate to be fitted. Using a dremel tool, carefully remove a few mm from the seen affected area. More will need to be shaved off the bottom as the bracket curves round. Try to flatten it off slightly and it should be good to go. I had this part on and off the car at least a dozen times. Just shaving a few mm each time then putting it the two 12mm bolts back on hand tight. Then using the sandwich plate examine how much more needs coming off, and where. Use a feeler gauge if you're having poor visibility. This is a rough guide as to what will want shaving. Even for me it was a bit of trial and error. On and off and then a bit of paper or a feeler gauge to see where it was still touching. Eventually you should have shaved enough off that it all fits nice and snug, and more importantly, flush. For where the sandwich plate is circular, you should be able to spin it freely without it rubbing. Remember before you install it to smear oil (as you would with any filter) to the oil filter housing side face of the sandwich plate. And then go ahead and install the filter and put it all back together. Remember to torque it back up. (And if any of you have that setting please tell me so I can add it )
