  1. it could be many things as all the las have suggested. but all the wheel bearings ive had go have made a clicking/clonking noise first the clonking will stop.. then the humming will start. humming louder the faster you go. its only an idea mate, but make sure everythings tight in the engine bay / suspension wise first... if the noise has started after fitting something new recheck it all.. only thing i can suggest mate without hearing it first hand im afraid.
  2. semi is fine to use mate. fully is really only a MUST if you have a brand new engine.. i prefer the best oil i can get though.. seeing as thats the lubricant for the internals. alot of people will say fully syn isnt good for our age engines.. but i prefer fully. something like castrol semi syn is fine etc.. im saying 3.5 because im sure i get a bit left over from a 4litre can. dont hold it against me though if its more lol
  3. buy a set of spring compressors from halfrauds.. chavmymotorworld etc... clam up the springs, take the topmount off and swap springs.. both front and back are the 2 hub mounting bolts.. and 3 front topmount nuts, 2 rear top mount nuts. dont forget when its done get your tracking reset..
  4. CV joint will knock louder on full lock either direction. wheel bearing can knock as very first signs of being fecked. it will soon turn into humming, which is when you need to stop driving it and get it changed otherwise the humming turns into squeeking and major play in the wheel. if its a quiet knocking, as if something is stck in the tyre, but isnt...knocking faster the higher the speed you travel, its more than likely the bearing. if so it will knock only when your going in a straight line, as unless your doing 50+ round a corner you wont hear it. get underneath, check the cv joints /
  5. ill see if my mate has his sr on the road by a months time.. thats quite a minter. if he has ill drag him along
  6. as in brand of oil? or weight ? off the top of my head i think its about 3.5 litres of oil from an empty sump.. i "think" i run 10-40 in mine.. fully syn. millers is the only stuff i use mate. best out there in my opinion
  7. dejavu gee ;) id have said, you need UBER problems for it to fail on emissions with either gt or glanza mate. and if they say you dont have a catalyst fitted, bend him over and rape him..
  8. i would be up for this in a month time lmao... god damn cash flow crisis
  9. gring the bolts off. punch the center of the bolts, and drill them out. use 3 long bolts, spring washers decat side, plain washers exhaust side. no more sodding about
  10. lexus lights... just think about it.. and ponder over the name of them... LEXUS lights... hence. they belong to lexus's and not pikemobiles
  11. alien ware gear is well overpriced gaz, build one from scratch. thats what i did a year ago and they still havent caught up half the price too ps3's look wank. if only the bluray drive opened up bigger, i could store my shoes and clothes inside its that big. games look pants too
  12. i didnt realise you had to take a feed from the map sensor line.. but it should be easy enough. i dont quite see why you have to take a feed from it though it only controlls boost. do you know which wire the map sensor feed is mate ? if you do just cut the line, solder the avcr feed into it, and rejoin and insulate. if your not sure on the wire im sure i could hunt out which one it is for you mate. just never heard of a boost controller needing anything more than an earth, ground,(illumination maybe and warning light output maybe)
  13. lmao @ mikey jay ! damn right matey, thats the only way of communication some of the scum around here know. if id have known joz, i would have hired him out as a ninja hitman good stuff kelly. glad its running fine, your lucky. did you have to have the engine flushed through ? or just top it up with unleaded and run the diesel mix out ?
  14. neither the gt turbo, or glanza v need a catalyst for mot. seeing as there is no uk equivalant they cant do the test on a cat. it comes under standard idle emissions mate. so unless your running crazy fuel pressure. it will pass which is nice
  15. your not having much luck. did you get the diesel mistake problem sorted ? last time some pikey tryed breaking into my car (saxo at the time) i made his face eat the wall. served with helpings of blood
  16. Galant without a doubt ! when the time comes for me to get a "practical car" ill get one. in white. with 19" advans.. nuff said. vr4 boyo
  17. all of the bp stations have gone from around my way! the nearest now is 10 miles away in a different town. THE SLAGS
  18. you could purchase a sard fuel rail adaptor off fleabay for next to nothing. that would do the job.
  19. im running 3bar with my hybrid ct9. i had it running @ 2.7bar with my standard ct9b on previously with my mods.
  20. just an emanage by itself ? could be anywhere from 5bhp to 30bhp all dependng on things
  21. Unless you know exactly what mods the ecu was tuned for, forget it. As great as JAM and Blitz access ecu's are, i would choose the emanage over one unless i knew what they were mapped on. if you can find one thats been tuned for basically your mods, go for one and they will be amazing. if not, stick to an emanage etc. something you can finetune to your car
  22. age 17 : corsa gsi (ecotec lump - no powersteering ) age 18 : fiat punto 1.1 bad bwoi (pissed oil everywhere, drove this whilst saving for this) age 18 : saxo 1.4 westcoast (converted to vtr spec, went from euro slag to pimpage lol) age 20 : toyota starlet glanza v age 21 : ^
  23. how much are they out of interest ?
  24. its all personal preference.end of the day, its your car, make it look how you want... i my self love the euro look. hence why i eurod my old saxo, widearches and 13" schmidt rims before they got wrecked have to say they are good quality kits by the look. i think i could quite easily come to love a starbo with one of them kits on if i saw it in the flesh
