  1. I know I would but there's something slightly lacking in this one.... http://pistonheads.com/sales/977037.htm
  2. Looking good mate, however I'd advise getting the fuelling checked or turn the boost down a little bit as the hybrid will obviously be putting out more air and you could be running lean....
  3. Just flush the coolant out with some fresh stuff, it goes brown over time. If there is oil appearing in it after that then start to look for an actual problem.
  4. Yes jagstar has done it by wiring it upto one of the reverse lights and then tinting the lense red I think. Most people (me included) just fit a dual fillament bulb into the bottom set of lights on the drivers side (or both) main cluster and wire the switch into that.
  5. The pads will be almost touching the disc all the time, if there is noticeable resistance when turning the wheel then its rubbing too much though. However if you've done everything you say you have and everything is greased up nicely then there shouldn't really be a problem unless there is constant pressure in the brake system for some reason.
  6. As it says in the ad it's a livesports front bumper: http://www.rhdjapan.com/jdm-low/Live-Sport...-Starlet-20973#
  7. That certainly isn't a laguna or clio splitter, its a full bumper anyway.
  8. If you don't get an answer in a topic you post then you can bump the topic up, if the right people aren't on the forum when you make the topic its easy for the question to go unanswered and be missed. A couple of your topics are also in the "wanted" section where if somebody doesn't have what you need then obviously they won't bother posting. Not replying to a pm is just rude though.
  9. I wouldn't want to run the stock injectors at any more than 220bhp really, over that and the duty cycle will be quite high and you want it below 80%. Its a 255lph fuel pump that is normally fitted when upgrading so I'm sure you'll be able to fit it, with the walbro I fitted you needed to cut and splice the wires anyway.
  10. I agree, doubt you'll be running lean at all with just a slightly different intake setup. A good service can make a good difference if its needing one....
  11. Its certainly not gonna blow up because of it! I'm not saying don't try it, just that there won't really be any benefits but give it a go and see what you think.;)
  12. That looks like a fine ride height, mine used to be a fair bit lower and I didn't really have any problems, well I do have a big hole in my flexi on the exhaust though. ;) It does have a very nice stance yours though, looks very nice. The foglight replacing the reverse light is quite novel too.;)
  13. There's also about 4 different shades of the 205 with varying amounts of metallic in them so you realy need to get it colour matched.
  14. There's a big difference between tuning an na and tuning a turbo'd car, the long runners on the glanza s inlet don't suit a turbo'd car, I'm sure there's been a few discussions on it before and simply the standard 4efte inlet is better for the turbo, it doesn't pose any restriction until over 300bhp either. As for the other comments all the parts work as they're intended to on a standard car- The turbo inlet/efi pipe is only restrictive when tuning, if it was opened up more it would probably result in a loss of response as air flows faster through a small orifice. This also applies to the e
  15. Fair enough if you want to try it, I'm sure its been done before but its not worth it, you may gain a small amount of torque low down but overall you'll lose power, if it was better toyota would've fitted it themselves.;)
  16. Emanage Ultimate fits your bill (mostly - don't think it has tc and not sure about the full throttle shifting).;) Nick at tuning developments can fit and map it for you.
  17. It helps with cooling the turbo to a certain extent but it also allows the oil in the turbo to get up to temperature quicker
  18. Yeah the hybrid's normally have a slightly bored out internal wastegate and can flow enough to control the boost, and yes you can use an ebc on an internal or external wastegate.
  19. The top one goes to the top one, the bottom one goes to the bottom one.;)
  20. You only really need an external wastegate on large turbo's when running a lot of boost and the standard internal wastegate can't flow/expel enough of the exhaust gas to control the boost. On a ct9 or normal hybrid its not really required, however the new td12 hybrid does require an external wastegate. As said the external wastegate (ewg) connects to an extra runner from the manifold then on the outlet of the ewg you have the screamer pipe (its rare for the outlet of the external wastegate to be routed back into the exhaust but it can be done if you don't like the noise from a screamer) The
  21. Well yeah but just like they are on the standard rails, you can still move the seat itself, its just the feet are welded to the non moving part of the rail.
  22. If running standard boost it should be ok but you really need to get the fuelling checked to make sure, at standard boost levels the stock ecu over fuels a little anyway but if going much higher then you'd most likely need the fuelling tweaked. Otherwise it'll be fine leaving everything else standard at the stock boost levels, the oil lines should also fit depending on the hybrid. Again when raising the boost you really want to change the standard manifold to get rid of the restriction it causes and uprate the intercooler. Have a look around the site to see what set ups other people are run
  23. Pics won't really show much, take the feet of the glanza seats then measure up the bolting points and weld them on at the right place on the new frames.
