looks like great progres fella!! been looking at this for a while dude!

keep up the good work and keep the pics coming!

heya fella, you will need the clip type, only the early GT's use the boot type!

I've been using V-power every time i fill up, not really been watching the MPG but since i fitted my TD04 kit I've been getting stupid MPG!

cost me 20 quid to get from preston to the trafford center and back with me and another person in the car!

and i wasn't flogging it either!

bearing in mind the car isn't mapped yet running 0.65 bar 0.7 ish

looks awesome fella! love the alloys!! keep it up!!

Whats the deal with the N/A wingmirrors buddy?

Shes still looking tidy though

no idea about them, but hey ho im not arsed, looking for an apexi AVCR at the mo, just trying to build up my parts for a Td04 conversion, going to run low boost 0.7 bar with a mapped emanage.

all good fun!

got a few more pics, not much of an update, im still paying the car off, should only be a few months now then im 400 quid better off every month so i can start getting some bits together!

also picked this bad boy up for a stupidly cheap price.

there is no shaft play, and no signs on the turbine of oil use, me and my mate are going to strip it down and see what the condition is of the bearings and the seals.

Usually its the spring inside that can be broken, I wouldn't know how to check it though sorry mate!

It sounds like something more than this though if its smokes a lot.

My car does the same thing and as Galliano said, it is burning oil.

yeh il sort something out. i don't think its had an easy life in its past history sadly so just have to sort something out!

Thanks fella!

how can i tell if its knackerd fella? i did boot it in 1st gear when i came hom efrom work this morning and i could see quite alot of smoke in the mirror! can't see much in an other gears tho.

one or two of my freinds who have been behind me for whatever reason have said that there is abit of blue smoke when i come on boost. i don't know if it carrys on whilst on boost but still none the less its not a good thing.

i did a compression check a few weeks ago, and the results came back

175-170-165-155, i am using oil as well, but i was thinking of getting a TD04 kit with an emange running low boost, and then buying an engine and forging. The turbo isn't on its way out, there is no oil in the pipework, and its not long since bought from toyota brand new. the car still pulls strong just don't like the smoke out the back.

any advice would be appriciated!

just finished reading through all 3 pages!! awesome project!! would love something like this myself!

keep the updates coming dude! flippin awesome!

here we go!

first proper car with a 4EFTE on the road and fully legal! back in 2006 i bought a White GT when i was 16, started tinkering here and there even though i wasn't old enough to drive it. anyway due to loosing my job and not having a penny to my name to insure it i had to let it go! i was gutted beyond belief! anyway last year my mum and dad bought this glanza for there personal use.

It came with a few mods on it,

cat back Zigen fireball exhaust

Gutted cat

HKS mushroom filter

15" yaris alloys,

tein lowering springs.

so after a 8 months of ownership i finally got a quote that i was happy with online, so i started paying the car off and on may 1st my birthday the car was insured.

did a few things to it before it finally was in my hands so here are a few snaps!

Thanks to my fathers awesome driving abilitys he damaged the back bumper parking the car which made the car look a mess. so first thing to do was sort that out. so i sent it to a good freind of mine who restores Vw camper vans and this was the result!

got a corbra bucket seat for 50 quid with golf subframes on, bit of cutting, head scratching and finally got it fitted!

i picked up a land rover intercooler from ebay for 29 quid! was abit worried that it might not hold pressure, and all the fins might be bent but all was good and keeps the air colder then stock!

good freind of mine did all the pipe work for me and modifying of this and that to get it up and connected!

will get more shots of the intercooler soon just the weather hasn't been brilliant!

2 days before it finally went on the road my mate came round who sorted my back bumper out and machine polished the car with G3

compound.

car came up really well which i was very happy with!

D-Day!

pictures where took at a mates house an hour after jumping in the old girl!

got some Toyo proxies T1s on the front on friday, the grip is alot better! just wish it would stop raining!

need to get a RRFPR as im running slightly lean due to abit of boost creep. but will update as soon as!

Thanks for looking!

Mike.

any update on the testing of this turbo? would really like to see some reuslts and specs and eventually place an order.

i will certainly have one off you in the near future!! really hope this goes well! please someone test it!!

yea is there any pics of this? also do you know a price on this unit enzo? would really be interested mate.

welcome to the forum!

what you trying to say!!! lol!

my first proper car on the road was this little beast..... which i spent a fortune on it!

then moved onto the fiesta i have now, then the Glanza in may when im 20.

yeah do it if you want just don't crash!

such a shame these things happen!! rly makes me mad! whats the point? it gives there company a bad name and gets them less business!? honesty is the best policy!

thought id post a pic after looking thru them all!

me at a wedding in wales having a good couple of drinks with a good mate!!

me recovering the next morning! lol!

sorry to hear that fella! better brakes would be good but would be useless without good tires and decent size alloys.

the more road contact you have the less chance you have of locking up especially if you have ABS, hope your ok fella and get things sorted out.
