  1. anyone got a link that works? i dont really know my way around tgtt
  2. compression test has been put back a few days, i'll post what my findings are when i know.
  3. im pretty sure orange is normally illumination on these?? could be wrong.
  4. i always got asked this in my old n/a. oli now gets the pleasure ;)
  5. i lookedat most of them, i sit in a lot of motors so i had it narrowed down to alfa 156 seats, scooby or fto seats, skyline seats are ok, but it depends what spec ones you go for!
  6. cheers bud, yeah i was trying to find something the right size to stop the paint! nah, got mine off jaystar. its rover amethist bud. a great colour imo. cheers buddy, im looking forward to seeing them on the car too! i think the best standard seats are the scooby wrx seats. theyre well comfy. i cant be bothered with all this aftermarket seat crap, id rather something that look like it was fitted in the factory. theyre a great upgrade tho sparks, cost me bugger all really! i have actually been losing faith in it, due to having to spend money on it when i dont really need to just to g
  7. winter wheels update sprayed my first wheel with the chosen colour and laquer this morning. i think its looking great! laquer Rich.
  8. where has this disapeared to? the link wont work now??
  9. basically how do we drain the oil out and top it up again? i did my old 4efe once but i cant remember how. i have a strong suspicion its the clutch mate.
  10. @ si: i do admit i dont post on here as much, i do visit the site almost every day, but i dont post very often. a few reasons for that, 1) very busy if im not at work 2) getting very frustrated with the car so i try and ignore its problems as most of my time is spent in technical. but yea, im ok. @ shelly: yes the weather will eat my red rims alive as the alloy edge is not laqured, so hopefully these should be on in a months time just ready for the bad weather! seats update ok guys the secret update was some seats, i actually got the idea from rob blower at jae after seeing his (sorry for t
  11. nah, thats going into savings... i'll find a under brace first methinks.
  12. wheel refurb update 1 well got started refurbing these wheels this morning as the other wheels have finally sold. these are so far the easiest refurbs ive done yet... the paint is so thick that there is no damage what so ever to the metal itself! chose the colour im going for this time last night... should be a little different again, hit them with the primer this morning after the rub down... i actually quite like them im grey primer!! pics in primer more pics to follow later this week with a secret update coming up!
  13. seeing yours is actually making me fancy one now... hmmmm... *checks coinage in pocket*
  14. looks good fitted dont it bud? wouldnt mind one for mine... but you know what im like with spending money!!
  15. what reading should i be getting from a compression tester on a good cylinder? whats the compression ratio on the 4efte?
  16. RIP a true legend. seen him rally many times over the years. i was definitely a huge fan of colin. very sad news.
  17. ok, as previously stated, it does feel a whole lot better, but still doesnt seem as quick as i thought it would be. compression test later this week.
  18. ohh my god!! i fucking love those levins!! yes mikey. thats what we want to see! some progress! i have always got the suspension sorted on my cars first.
  19. ok i got some good ngk plugs in there (non iridium) and it feels a bit better again, i havent had a good chance to test it but it still doesnt feel like its made a massive difference. i rang toyota and it turns out that the gaps should be 0.8mm and my old ones were at 1.10mm! so it is probably doing it some good. i was actually looking at a compression tester at work today, i think i'll get it tomorrow and give it a go. my full spec is as follows: k&n panel filter gutted cat 2 1/4" straight through to the backbox exhaust system boost contoller running .8bar type rs bov parts replaced: o
  20. awesome thanks alot jay. youre a legend. thinking back they were probably changed about 4-5 months ago, so they could probably do with being changed anyway. well mine sounds like its running rough all the time, but i just assumed that that was the exhaust with just a rear can and no cat... but i could be wrong? bit of a random question, but did yours idle ok on three? i got overtaken by another glanza earlier... which was standard, so somethings defo not right. i have faith in what your saying jay, but... if this doesnt work where do i go from here? as i dont really want to get it rollin
  21. what the reference code for the ngk iridium tipped plugs for the 4efte? as i might be able to get a set cheaply thru work.
  22. they were mate! denso's too! thanks alot for the imput jay. that helps alot i'll get a new set. maybe a set of uprated ones? what the best heat range plugs to get? are they pre gapped too? what is the recomended gap?
