Cheers for the find Stu .. As i said previously I thought the worst initially and was thinkin "I cant afford £5-600 to get this sorted im gonna have to just take a hit and get rid of it" but now im not so sure.. As for the golf's, I can see where your coming from but having driven 1 today it really was nice. Nowhere near the speed of the Starlet but still a sweet car and now I have some very big decisions to make. Thanks all

Thanks for the offer Liam mate! Cant say thanks enough to all the people that have replied on here to help me out with the decision with this car.. Im gonna have a few days to think things through and also keep an eye on the forums for any CT9's that pop up.. Cheers all!

Thanks all.. Theres a CT9 with decat on the for sale forums for only £75 .. Im gonna go on the hunt for some guides and see what kind of price a decent turbo is gonna set me back.. Got a guy on my street who likes to get his hands dirty and have a fiddle and said I shouldnt get rid I should get it sorted as its too nice to break up so maybe he might like a go at fitting a turbo haha.. Appreciate all your feedback guys i really do. Ive got some big decisions to make

Cheers for the input guys.. Really thought i would have been looking at £500+ for a turbo fitted aswell as ive not even looked at prices etc..Think ill do some investigating before making anymore rash decisions about it.. Really dont know what to do.. Going to look at a mk5 GTI golf tomorrow. Will have a good think over it tonight as I have loved the car since ive had it. Again thanks for the encouragement peeps.. Just a kick in the nuts yesterday when it went

Is it that easy tho ? Im undecided on what to do with it to be honest.. How much do decent turbo's go for? Im not one for fiddling under the engine so would need someone to fit it etc for me too on the cheap.. Part of me wants to keep it as its such a nice fun car to drive, but ive had it for a long time and could do with a change too.. If its cheap and easy enough to get sorted and will help it sell easier i may have to get a new turbo and do it that way. Cheers bud.

After fitting a new gearbox and clutch just after christmas i thought id have a few more years motoring or be able to get a half decent price on resale.. that was until yesterday when the turbo decided to go on me.. Lots of whiney noise and smoke and no boost at all .. Sad sad day for me as the car has been almost problem free the 4 and 1/2 years since ive had it (first proper UK owner apart from the dealer who go it imported for me) Been awesome to be part of this community and will be sad to see the V go as its brought me a lot of fun the last few years ive had it..

You find out the problem mate ? Ive got something very similar and want to make sure i know exactly what parts to get as money is tight at the min.. Cheers.

Front bumper gone buddy ?

Ive had a JAM and Blitz and both change a standardish car soo much.. Good price buddy GLWTS.

PFF76-421 is the one you need mate.. 74mm for LSD boxes

pretty sure they are the same mate. I have a recaro rear bench and this was exactly the same as my 96 bracket wise.

waiting reply about the spoiler mate ;)

PM'D

May be interested in the spoiler as mine has been bashed by some chav a while back and the brake light/spoiler has a hole in it.. Out of interest how easy are they to replace/remove? Never removed one.

Driveshafts sold .. All 3 engine mounts still for sale (could do with new rubbers especially the LSD gearbox mount) LSD Gearbox provisionally sold.

Whats it like on fuel mate ? Where you based ?

Thanks for the tip mate..

Thanks mate.. Thinkin there might be another leak on where the main gearbox is bolted to the clutch housing (if you get what i mean, not the part bolted to the engine but the part bolted to that part lol) I have shite all luck .. Need to get under it and have a look but what options do i have if that seal is fooked ? Last resort being, getting a garage to take the gearbox off AGAIN and get it apart and re-sealed Thanks so far guys.

Cheers Dan PM your way Dave

Dont blame you mate.. good luck with the search.

Gives me some time to get the car tidied up and to get some more bits

Really ? hopefully it should be ok with the plate i have then .. Time to spend some money on some goodies next.. Defo interested in those coily's James

No worries.. James from CJ just nudged me in the right direction Hoping to get some newish pics up soon when the weather clears.. Whens the next meet Amjad?

Just unbolt and refit ? Luckily i have my old LSD box. It looks the same so would it just be a straight swap over ? Nothing going to fall out is there James ? .. Thanks mate.
