  1. Don't do it.... Buy a 2nd hand tial or TS
  2. Looking good there Rob! A fantastic healthy figure too! Was it really a mk1 GT you stripped? I guess it was wise to put a Walbro in if the pump was 24 years old Roll On Summer!
  3. I can understand your point of view. However, for me, there is more to it then that... First off, whatever seat I choose, needs to be mounted further back and lower. I want as much leg room as possible being 6ft6... Next, is the fact I don't have a "Bride" arse. There is no chance on this planet I'd fit in any of the Bride seat range, which are made for skinny little japs or Liam D So its more a case of what I can FIT into over what I would like. It was between: Evo Recaros OEM+ Recaros and Recaro Sportster CS's Evo Recaros have been done 1000 times, OEM+ Recaros have been down 10000 times... This has never been done... That's my reasoning... To those who have been lucky enough to sit in these seats, know full well how comfy they are! Long Term. I will be getting the seats re-trimmed (Black/Grey Cloth, Red Stitching), with the door cards and carpet. It will look really smart imo Oh the joys of being huge...
  4. Oh yeh, I almost forgot... Ive Finally got some Seats to Replace the Stock Facelift Glanza Seats Recaro Sportster CS Seats Fitted to quite a lot of modern cars to be honest... Focus RS Corsa VXR Clio RS Audi RS4 There very supportive and very comfortable. Id like to get them re-trimmed in Black Suede/Red Stitching, in the long term. But for now they will do! Don't think anyone has ever fitted these in a glanza before, so makes the car even more unique.... Which is nice!
  5. Not a Penis Manifold is it? http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/70934-jamies-black-sr-zisco-goodness-162/page-4#entry961418
  6. The Limit of displacement is a good limit to hit lol Its still on stock camshafts... Ontop of that, I could add a Billet Compressor Wheel to my turbo (to make it a GTX)... But I have no plans to do those just yet...
  7. Cheers Chaps We shall have to wait and see, it should do! See Below Hope to get her back next month! Cheers Lew... I will indeed! Were you sitting comfortably haha. Cheers for the kind words. Cheers Kate! Cheers Matey! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- So, got sent a few more snaps of what's been going on over in Sheffield at Race-Tech HQ... The Sump has now been finished. The old baffle was removed and a full Trapdoor-Baffle System was welded into place. Its very impressive in all honesty. Trap Doors open and close to keep oil at the optimal point for the oil pickup. Something which is slowly becoming very important as I'm going to a much wider and sticker tyre size on the front for this year! Meaning much more g-force pushing the oil around inside the sump! Sorry Tho Folks. Just like the specification of my Garrett Turbocharger. It is being kept a secret for the time being. Not making it that easy for any other Tuners/Fabricators on here! In other news. The gearbox has had a bath in a very very big parts cleaner, then painted, looking nice and fresh! and while the paint gear was out, the block got a freshening up as well! Now waiting upon my new Clutch Setup to arrive and my flywheel has been for another fresh skim.... Before the engine and box can be mated up and returned to the shell! Finally, got this back from the polishers... Looking Good! Should look pretty awesome when its all built back up again! Will it make 400bhp!? That is the question...
  8. LOL^ im sorry, im glad im not the only one to think that straight away... But it does indeed, look like... a Penis...
  9. this looks suspiciously like my Photo
  10. Steam/Condensation is normal when its so cold out... Boosted cars are more prone for it too from what ive seen, I really wouldn't worry! If its not loosing fluids, continue enjoying it, and see if it clears up when it warms up in summer!
  11. Powder Coating is done by magnetising the item your covering... The dashboards surface isn't magnetic... So its been painted...
  12. Race-Tech are just finishing my trap door baffled sump.... Keep an eye on my build thread ;)
  13. This is correct...
  14. I have a poly rear windscreen.... Its very light and very impressive. But wasn't cheap!
  15. PowerFC's are good. I loved mine. The Commander is also nice to get live data feeds into the car! Imo though, if you have a decent tuner local, see what they prefer or recommend! Failing that if you don't mind travelling, get down to TD for there Wolf Package!
  16. Sick of seeing all these lupos... They are a car that was designed to be simple city motoring at its very best. They don't handle, they don't go fast, there not safe, there not reliable or easy to work on, they look like a Frog. All I ever see is them slammed on the absolute floor so they drive even worse then they did before. Or in most cases completely undriveable... Just Weigh it in and do us all a favour... Rant Over
  17. You gonna turn up this time and which one of your 1000 EP's you bringing
  18. sell it separately... Engine - £600 Gearbox - £200 Driveshafts - £75 Glanza Loom - £100 GLanza Cloks - £45 Too Cheap Bud!
  19. Well too cheap buddy! You could get that for the engine on its own!
  20. Could maybe look at ways of shortening your boost pipework/route?
  21. What map is this running now Taggy?
  22. Wouldn't waste your time... I know what the shipping will be like... A Winning Sports ep82 spoiler was cheap to bring over! There Rare Items. Still over in Japan...
  23. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-V-TOYOTA-STARLET-GLANZA-V-1-3-TURBO-EP91-135BHP-ONLY-47K-1-OWNER-/350984004949?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item51b846e555 Never seen one before!? Jeez
  24. There the only ones.... As far as im aware... I believe the change was All GT and Pre-Facelift Glanza then changed on Facelift Glanza.... Fusebox is completely different and wiring loom going thru firewall in different arrangements! But the two coolant temp sensors and A/T are the only differences I think!
  25. Lovely Abbott! Cant wait to see it!
