sensor from ebay for about a fiver, and a sandwich plate or tapped in elsewhere, as above.

depends if it's running well, they split intercoolers and leak turbo gaskets for fun. with that sorted, and the car decatted with a reasonable exhaust, it would win, by far, especially over about 80. not sure on the autos, but s14's (manuals anyway) are geared very long, they come on song above about 100, and dont really ever feel like they want to stop pulling, whereas a glanza will struggle above a ton, if it doesn't rattle itself to death. either way, street racing is bad m'kay. you both cant go over 70 anyway so what does it matter ;] aint like you're gonna have a race on track. so boo ho

we will donate semen at jae, for reference.

what clutch did they use? they could have thrown in an n/a clutch, if they fit, which wouldnt have the clamping pressure of one designed for a stock turbo. if you sourced it off ebay then chances are it's a fake. ;[

ofcourse, you have to send it to them first, otherwise they're just making guesstimates, at best. they may offer free inspection, or worst case it'll be about £50 max to have them strip it down and look at it.

whilst it's off you may aswell get it done mate if it's gonna need to be done eventually anyway. for the sake of 200quid it'd be an easy way to ensure its reliability, and prevent any further damage to it.

if it's been left that long that crap oil has starved the turbo, then it doesnt really sound like the engine's been looked after particularly well. might be worth checking everything over, and changing as much as you can, refresh all the fluids etc.

depends on tyre size, but should be close.

that's so hot. im aroused.

warped discs prob, easily done with even moderate braking.

CR Turbos, give them an email or a call mate. know people that have used them in the past. very good, very quick, and best of all, very good value for money. http://www.crturbos.co.uk/

you knows it ;]

carbon needs looking after and can look faded when not polished, it's just how it is, even the expensive ones suffer from it.

my road aint been done ;[

buy some used, save yourself shed loads. pair of buckets can be had for 100quid easily. no point getting in debt over parts, pretty silly tbh.

i'd expect as much after 6 weeks tbh that's almost not enough time to bed them in. ideally clutches should be ran for around 500miles gently to bed them all in, manufacturer recommendations vary but its usually around that.

any mag sump plugs do the same thing mate, at the end of the day it's just a bolt. i imagine dave does em, or you could get em from ebay.

indeed, went down to essex after james, then that guy sold it on i think, dunno where it is now though

if it took more then i imagine that was luck more than anything mate. unless it's a paddle or has an uprated pressure plate, it'll be pretty much stock. so yeah, if you put 200bhp then chances are it'll slip, but im sure you know that anyway. if it doesnt then it'll be down to luck. fingers crossed for you mate. if it does go then you can get cheap paddles these days so aint the end of the world, just additional moneys.

rofl at people just saying the turbo is gone ^^; most likely a clip or something mate, actuator etc. mine was like that when i first got it, didnt boost at all. was the circlip on the actuator. if the turbo was 'gone' you would have some noise, smoke etc from it. it wouldnt just stop, thats almost impossible based on the design.

Evening boys, Just a thought, anyone have any idea where my old Glanza is these days? curious to see where it's got to. Last i knew it was floating around the essex area. reg is n960 pae, it was metallic black, full optional bumper extensions, mid wing etc. I think it had bronze rota grids on it last time i saw, and a carbon bonnet. be nice to know where it's got to, if for curiosity more than anything. cheers chaps H.

blueprint is stock also mate, so yeah, i'd be wary of going anything above stock boost, even coming down to decats etc and performance exhaust. it's a stock clutch with stock clamping pressure for a reason.

i don't believe that for a moment.

this isn't just cider mate.... .....this is tc cider....

hahaha i'll take some deliveries before, so i'll put up a poll before the event and decide what the most preferred flavours will be. not sure what car i'll have by then, even if it's just in my bora i'll set up a rig in the back and we'll have a pro little cider shop going on. can cruise about the site flogging cider by the pint. mwahaha the flavours are awesome. oh by the way, they're all 7.5%+ also, thatchers katy type strength, but even more delicious. you boys aint ready. by the way, to the bird saying she dont drink, you aint ready for strawberry cider. i promise you'll love it. you m
