  1. Got a set of 1st gen Buddyclub P1s and needed to paint them so went with Ford Caymen Blue. The picture isnt great but they really suit it, lovely metallic finish to the paint. Just need to get a carbon bonnet to replace the black. P1s are wrapped in some nice Toyo Proxes and bolted up with some new US Racing Blue Wheel Nuts.

  3. I've had used one in the past and waste gate hasn't been ported it's the same as stock, the seals lasted a month or two then started to smoke. If you were to get one tho send it straight to Liam d and then it will last :)

    That has my mind made up so thanks for the feedback :)

  4. I've got one of these atm works fine only bought it as a temporary thing because the my old turbo went and needed something just to get to work and back but don't expect a lot from it

    Is the wastegate much bigger than standard ct9? Also does it perform well, what boost you running?

  5. I know the info on it is amusing im just looking for feedback from someone that has one seen as they sold alot. I emailed them about the wastegate size and they said they didnt know as the turbos are in their warehouse. Im just curious to see is the wastegate too larger or is it just another ct9 with a bigger compressor housing.


  6. Picked this up last week. Grand little car pretty much standard. Has Optional UV Cut Glass(tinted over), Ignition Barrell Light Ring, TRD Gearknob and Rear 3 Piece Strut Bar. Alot planned for this but for now I need to get rid of all the tacky black stuff. Very clean car, the wheels and black bits let it down alot, heres a few pics.

  7. Thought I'd throw up a thread, got this a couple weeks back in Tipperary. Nice original example, was what I wanted. Car is pretty original apart from a HKS SSQV & Blitz Nur Spec R Exhaust System. Car also has pressed plates, optional cup holders, optional UV Cut Glass and sunroof. Have alot of plans for this so will keep this updated.

    Got stuck in straight away and gave it a clay and a good scrub with meguiars ultimate compound(made some difference). Then I got a Tracker fitted for obvious reasons, got an Apexi Boost Gauge, HKS Actuator, Toyosports Decat and a Toyosports Front Mount Intercooler. Also got a bit more security sorted I won't be stating but at least I can now sleep! Suffering with bad boost creep now due to installing the decat but hope to go td04 soon so im not too worried. Bought a brand new set of Buddyclub P1 alloys for it too and Blue US Racing Wheel Nuts to go along with them. Few more bits I want to change like the bonnet, theres a strange mark on it looks like a buffer burn maybe. Anyhow heres some snaps!

  8. Calum I've had an integra and too many civics. Yeah I like my coupes sold my em1 there in February. I had 2 gt turbos and that sort of made me get back in a starlet. Starlets hold themselves better, 9/10 civics are rotten at this stage. The dohc VTEC engine might be more reliable but u can't beat boost haha
