  1. Gaz is 100% right -- BOV's will only be able to dump so much gas as the throttle is closed. The rest gets forced back through the compressor housing giving the compressor surge/stall "chopping" sound. You can get it in a standard GT/Glanza by just turning up the boost and adding a filter -- the OEM ricirc BOV can't dump enough gas so it chatters back through the filter.
  2. I saw a set that came with a keyring in corfu when I was on holiday -- no joke! They were like â?¬12 or something! And the sets with the grub screws didn't deter the kids around my way -- they still managed to get them off and wrecked the thread on my bros valve at the same time.
  3. Yeah they look pretty cool! Would need to see them on a car though.
  4. I'm pretty sure I've seen that advertised on ebay a good few months ago -- but for some reasin I seem to be thinking it was purple in the add! Might just be that crazy FMIC that rings the bells!
  5. I don't really get why you put a "pinstripe" on either -- or why it's red??
  6. What's the title of the Option video -- or even an episode number. I might try and track it down!
  7. Just rub at the excess glue with some petrol -- it's a natural solvent and as long as you don't leave it on the paintwork for days it shouldn't harm the paint too much. Also heat gns can get nasty -- just use a good hairdryer!
  8. Well I'm at the understanding that the letters have to be of legal size (but my mate has a 75% size plate and it still looks legal) but you can cut it down to as close to the letters/numbers as you want! So I was gonna try keep the reg as big as possible then cut it down as close as I could? Something along the lines of this...
  9. I bought the car off ebay -- It used to be raced in some RC Series -- has loads of (what I've found to be) expensive hop-ups -- tuned race exhaust, different ratio gears, lots of CF, different suspension... Goes like stink! See my very lame bebo page for a vid!! http://adriangail.bebo.com P.S This was when I first got it, the trim needed to be set up on it because I ended up having to buy a new lower temp glow plug because of how tuned it was -- it wouldn't idle unless the throttle was open a fair bit. P.P.S As you can see I don't take it extremely seriously as you can see by the multip
  10. Turbo_time used to post I'm sure -- Drove a Glanza if I'm not mistaken!
  11. Shame you won't be coming to Scotland -- All the best drinking happens up here!
  12. Well the unpainted shell cost me £35 -- Then probably the same again on paints, smoke and seal for the underside... So it's not cheap for a new shell!
  13. Never actually thought of this as a hobby -- I just bugger about with it but I paint all my own shells! The Carbon Fibre bonnet on my Hachi Roku shell tooks ages to get perfect but looks pretty trick I thought! Got the drift kit for it too, a very expensive-but-fun hop-up! Here's my good shell (don't use it in bad weather!)

    S13

    My Bro got his S13 for £1900 about 2 years ago from someone who didn't really know what they had (a woman ) His wasn't A1 condition either -- and since then because of the drifting scene they've had a bit of a revival price-wise! So they'll prob still go for about that figure! The CA18 is a pretty decent engine though -- and fairly easy to tune too! My bro's running "Stage 2" as they call it on the SXOC and runnin 280bhp, it's a quick car!
  15. Because they probably left it sitting... (ie they stole it too -- and used it to ram the gates)
  16. Did you not get a fly figure from AVA?
  17. Can I ask you what percentage your front number plate is reduced Toymota? I'm needing to get a reduced one so I can get some more flow through my FMIC. A touch bigger than yours would prob keep me from being pulled by the coppers round here!
  18. I think I've seen that white Glanza before -- dunno where though, but the filter air-vent thingy-bob on the side rings a bell in my head!
  19. I don't use photobucket -- but I've never had any problems with either FlickR or imageshack
  20. Wow! What a freaky number of members to have! We could possibly contact insurance companies soon and see about member discounts! Also, "most users ever online" was 240?! Wow don't think that's right! And Glanza-girl-xx get posting!
  21. I think a couple folk (ahem newly moderated ) should give me a shout for that for their secret photoshops -- that I keep... so secret
  22. I drive a V and no chicks look at my car twice -- unless I flutter all over them!! then they go "ooooOOooo what's that?? I wanna pump that!!" Then My bird elbows me in the ribs and I remember where all the lovin' is coming from!!
  23. I'll maybe see if Paul and that wanna go -- could maybe get me+3-4 others?
  24. What? Basically replace the tanks with an alu tank or something? That would be prettty fly!
