  1. Mine was smoking for a good 3-4 months but then last week it really did start to puff LMAO :rolleyes: every time i was stuck in traffic on the way home from work lol and it would gas every fuker in the traffic jam lol.

    I wouldnt worry about it until it really starts to pour out, it should last a while just take it easy lol stay off that right foot! lol

    Cheers buddy, starlybrusier :thumbsup:

  2. My car never blue smoked on boost or coming off boost but i found it would puff a bit and smell starting and stopping in traffic, i changed the tubby to a hybrid and found there to be a good bit of oil in the intercooler pipes. Now the new tubby is in there it doesnt blue smoke anymore, still smells a bit, but its more like a fuel smell now, but i think all cars running decats smell a bit more anyway :thumbsup:

  3. sup dude, i run the TT relocation with the g spec hybrid, really nice bit of kit...cant really say there will be much of a difference as a relocation kit is a relocation kit.

    depends what you prefer the look of really, i got a blue and black theme so the TT one went well.

    Ah cool, did the hose supplied slip onto the 55mm inlet easily? or did you have to replace it with a larger hose? cheers buddy.

  4. Well i need an intake for my new turbo and i like the look of both kits, they both look excellent :D , but yet again i cant decide which to get, so has anyone on here got one of these kits fitted on there cars?

    Also i have a 55mm inlet on my turbo so does anyone think i could strech one of the hoses supplied over the inlet?

    Cheers guys, starlybruiser ;)

  5. Well yesterday i fitted my sps manifold and gt spec hybrid i got off enzo :thumbsup: but i think there may be a problem but im not sure.

    When i start the car and leave it idle i looked into the end of the turbo and well it looks like its not spinning :rolleyes: ? i asked my girlfriend to slightly rev the car and as soon as she done this is spun, now is this a problem? it boosts fine and feels strong, but i just always thought the turbo spun when the engine was turned on?

    Im goin to have another look today just to make sure im right lol

    Cheers Nick.

  6. "choke housing" I guess is the same as the automatic choke, is it the bit at the end of the inlet manifold? Thats the idle control valve which I think does the cold idle, it can be taken off and cleaned which usually is all it needs.

    I have slight idle problems, got any pics of the idle control valve so i know where it is? cheers buddy ;)

  7. Does anyone know what sort of polish I can use on carbon fibre? Ive heard that normal car polish for paint shouldnt be used for some reason so was just wondering what else can be used, also can a finishing compound like g10 be used to remove any dulling or marks, scratches etc? cheers starlybruiser :D

  8. Ah, are they the ebay ones? ive seen them on there for 20 bucks, looks ok but dont know if they will fit? :D worth a try for just 20 notes isn't it :D probly order them soon, cheers matey.

  9. Yeah looks like it was a great meet, I decided not to come at the last min because of the nasty weather :D but im defo coming to the ones in the summer :D and like Starlet bristol said thats a promise also, :D cheers starlybruiser :D .

  10. Well i want to get some new bulbs for my fog lights as the ones in there arent very bright at all :p . Just wondering what bulbs they are? i looked throught the lens today and they look like either H1 or H3's anyone know what they are? cheers starlybruiser :p .

  11. Im not sure where the adjuster is on them bov's but it adjusts the spring tension in the bov and determines when it dumps boost, tighten it right up for chatter :) or have it loose for the normal bov sound, cheers, starlybruiser :)

    by the way this is in the wrong section! not for general, should be in tech

  12. Well after fitting my KYB shocks and tein springs the tracking was well out as my car was pulling hard to the left and the steering wheel was far from straight lol

    so i took my car to one of my mates and where he works they have some fandangle laser machine thats amazing, so he hookked it up and done the settings and gave me the print out, now i just slung this in the glove box and drove back to work. When i got home i thought i would have a look at the sheet and well i cant make head or tail of it lol i havent a clue, so heres a pic of it, anyone know weather its ok? cheers starlybruiser :p .

  13. Well as some of you may know i had a bit of a rip off with some tein springs that had been cut down :surrender: , well i saved a bit of money and have recieved a set off tm developments, now i ordered the ep91 springs but i recieved the ep82 ones, i contacted TM and said that i recieved the wrong ones, he said that they have been supplying these as the ep91 springs for some time as people have been having trouble with the ep91 springs being too low?? now the only difference between the springs are the rate, the back ones are both 2.4 (kgf/mm) on the 82 and 91 but the front ones for the 91 are 2.7 and the 82 ones are 2.1 now will these be ok to use on my glanza? ive removed the air - con system so its goin to be a bit lighter but do you think this spring rate will be too low? cheers starleybruiser.

  14. Well after being ripped of with some dodgy tein springs i have gone and bought some new ones and goin to be fitting them soon :drunk2: , i was talking to my friend who is a tyre fitter and i asked him if once ive lowered my car will he do the suspension setup, like tracking camber panhardrod setup etc. Now he said he would do it no probz but he would need to know the setup angles, he said he could just do all the angles the same as the standard ones on the computer for an ep91 but he recons it wont be good enough? any suggestions on this guys? cheers starlybruiser :surrender:

  15.

  16. Thats shocking mate!! :)

    Hope you can get it sorted without much hassle

    Yeah i know, doubt i will get it sorted without masses of hassle, hes completely ignorin my txts and PM's and my request for a refund on paypal :harhar: so looks like its goin to have to be sorted the hard way :thumbsup:

  17. I thought there waas something fishy about them springs as soon as you starting to pester about them as you were saying they were not fitting right and it isn't hard to fit springs at all.

    Here is a couple of pictures of the few sets of Tein springs i've had

    Yep im missing like 3 tight coils off my rear springs, ive txted him saying im happy to settle with a refund for the cost of the tein springs so I can just go and buy a new set, but hes not replying once again, oh yeah sorry for pesterin you about them too :harhar:

    My dads goin to sort some things out tomorrow for me as i think ive given andyglanza long enough to reply to the messages, so hes goin to contact the solicitors tomorrow, my dads pretty pissed too as he knows how much I love my car. cheers starlybrusier :thumbsup:
