looks great dude. loving the lime green stuff. very different. polishing the mani is a bit too tough, so to be honest, i'd just paint it. thats what i did.

find a garage who can test the lamda. im sure it'll be that.

cool. cheers bud.

cheers guys. yeah, i wasnt too keen on the n/p surrounds, but i got given them with the car and it was important to get the car looking as factory fresh as i could for a certain photoshoot. which i shall explain more of later! @lobotomy, it took me a while trying with the other photos to get them looking right (as you can see most of them came out crap!), but the last one was just a quick snap, as a car was driving down the road where i had parked up! Rich.

took some new pics today after its first wash in about two weeks! got my genuine toyota nuberplate surrounds on too. and my favorite... Rich.

sweet. nice one. i have noticed i get little black specs over the rear of the car, altho i thought this was the car running rich? is it likely to be oil?

it'll be the lamda sensor mate, almost defineately. my old n/a did the same. have you noticed increased running costs? ie. drinking more fuel?

jeez phil... hope you gonna be ok bud, all the best and i agree with g. lets go find him!

when are we seeing you car update then craig?

cool. cheers for that eks. i didnt think it was anything serious. did this tonight, not even a haze out the exhaust! no smoke/vapor at all.

i know that people are gonna say that i only like it because i work at ripspeed, but i dont actually mind that wheel at all... just scrub the ripspeed logo off!!

hmmm really? i'd be surprised if it was an r32! those things are fooking rapid.

hmmm, how much was that little lot craig?

WAHOO!!!! something i dont have to fix!! nice one cheers guys! youve put my fears to rest.

ive had the intercooler off only a few weeks ago and there was very little oil in there. i'll have to have a look again.

i'll just stick with my ps2 untill the ps3 or 360 are cheaper! im a fan of the snes, n64 and gamecube, but i probably wouldnt buy a wii as i still prefer the fact that you get millions of game titles with sony.

i heard this elsewere too. it may be that.. i'll have to inspect it... it doesnt smoke at all really, not even when giving it a bootfull, i get all the usual condensation and water vapor out the exhaust though. the pipe you see in the pic is blocked off with a bung, so i dont think its coming from there, but yes the crankcase breather is still going into the recirc valve. thanks for the help bud.

yeah.. im a bit worried. its about a inch to an inch and a half really.

ever since ive had the V, its had great brakes compaired to my n/a. altho i keep noticing something, and im not sure if its supposed to do it or not? if im braking hard the brake pedal is firm, and doing exactly what it should be doing, it moves down about 1 inch. but, if i go over a bump while braking hard, the brake pedal jumps down about a further 1-2 inches... the car is still braking as hard, but its just worring when your tying to stop in a hurry and the brake pedal is moving around!! any ideas what it could be? is this a common problem? or is it just mine? it had new front discs, and all new pads when i bought it, and the brake fluid level is perfect.

tried parkers, with no luck.

shite. thats bad. glad to know your ok mate... sad about the sr. RIP another dead starlet.

yeah, i have the standard one still on, but its blocked off. its defo coming from the aftermaket bov as its seaping out of the housing slightly.

anyone?

i know this cant be good, but ive noticed a build up of oil around the venting area of my bov... is this a major issue? should i be looking about for a new turbo in the meantime? or is it relitively harmless? the engine doesnt seem to be drinking an abnormal amount of oil either. and theres seems to be no smoke out the exhaust. Rich.
