changed the thermostat today as ive been having temperature fluctuations, so she seems to run a bit better now. ive also been having grip issues with the passenger side front recently. so i had a look today to find the inside of the tire bald, and a 2 inch blister. so the tracking clearly needs doing, which i'll get done at the weekend i think. so ive put the black racings back on until i decide what im gonna do with the enkei's. also i sprayed up my cam cover today: Rich.

f*ck pressing them out si! when i had my studs go i just took the disc off and belted them with a hammer, they came straight out, and used a bar behind the new stud and belted them back in again. piece of piss. ive done about 10 of them now, and i can replace a front stud in about 15-20 mins no problem!

you see what i mean phil? i LOVE your ep, and dont want to see you sell it. in the same way i loved my old n/a. i know what its like mate... you can try and tell yourself you dont give a f*ck but really deep down, you do. do what i didnt, dont be like me and give up on the n/a!

i would like to have toured down guys, but theres no way i can afford it! maybe next time. :angry:

i likey!

i have those on mine, are the springs the same colour as the dampers? if so theyre the matched springs. i payed 200 for mine

this will look ace.

i would be interested mate, but ive committed to buy a genuine one.

does anyone on here have any experience importing their own car? (i mean doing it all yourself?) i'd just like to know a bit more about how to go about it and what costs are involved, i know a few stages of whats required but i'd like to see a complete list. also, i cant seem to find any of these auction sites, i assume they're limited to traders only? any information would be very helpful. ;)

none of the above. mate, save yourself £150 and buy some speedlines. http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=9230

i think the thermostat has gone on mine, or at least keeps sticking? last night i drove to my local town and the engine must have been running for over a hour and the temp needle was sitting about a third up the guage (under half way) then i started driving back along a 70mph section and the temp needle was indicating cold! as in, it was pointing directly at the C! i got out and checked the bottom hose and it was stone cold... and the top hose was kinda luke warm? the rad appears to be full with fluid. the weird thing is that my heaters were working perfectly?

nice one mate. how much did they set you back?

i'd love to see a veyron up close... the detailing must be immense. i see a audi r8 about twice a week around my way tho.

i take it these are fibreglass copies mate?

cheers buddy. (even tho i went against everything i stand for and got someone to fit it for me! ) awesome geo...thanks for that. yeah i noticed it drops back down at anythingover 4k rpm to .55-.5 bar from .65! hks actuator it is then! tbh it hasnt made a massive difference performance wise so far, but as i said above, previously i was running .8bar and now im only running .5bar anything past 4000rpm, but i guess if it doesnt feel any slower at its current boost then it should be much better when im back up to .8bar! well see! cheers buddy. i refused to use any of these stainless steel manifolds as i cant be doing with buying new ones every three months!

nice one cheers geo. thanks guys i'll have a look when i have some time.

im with pipex and mines is still @ 2.6mb.

anyone do me a how to for this? as im gonna do mine when i have the money.

road runner manifold update me and fishy drove down to braintree yesterday to get my road runner manifold fitted by dave burwash's guys, and they did a great job. really pleased with it. the manifold just smooths power delivery out instead of being all lumpy, improves top end a bit too. the only thing ive found now is the boost dropped off from .8 bar to .6-.65, ive tried adjusting it with my boost controller but it doesnt seem to be doing alot... anyone experienced this? fishy's gt is still way quicker tho! lol pics: Rich.

@ gaz or try fensport.

clear lights can be got from toyota. see the part numbers section. performance parts try the toytuning secion or starletgtturbo.co.uk

you might have a boost leak? mine was overboosting when i first got it and it turned out to be about 3 separate leaks!

sparky, just buy some stick on shitty side repeaters and bodge them on and take them off after mot! by the way my headlights failed on that too last time

god that front bumper would look awesome on the sr buddy! you need to tell si to go easy with his gear changes then! when we went out in the gt the other night i thought he was gonna rip the bloody lever off!!!

looking good buddy, before you invest in any induction kit get yourself a corolla inlet manifold (see the technical section) loving the rs5's by the way
