  1. Get your eyes tested Si! The one in the touge was silver and had a 96 front end.
  2. You obviously missed this..... http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....amp;#entry91665
  3. Buy it just for the "way cool stripe package!!!" Serious engine though.
  4. He's been snooping about tgtt looking for a set of wedssports tc05's...... still.
  5. Looks nice Gary, very low! Whats the spec list?
  6. Good thing they're wearing hard hats..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=isnkcYYZEHE I can't stop laughing! "Get it between the pink curtains!"
  7. Its called a remix, nothing new.
  8. UKSC scottish meet: Crail meet:
  9. Welcome to the site mate. Erm one thing though, that isn't the cars original engine as thats out of the older GT, you can tell by the silver cambelt cover ad the fact that the inlet pipe has "16 valve efi"on it. This shouldn't be a problem but just something you should know.
  10. Cheers man, I wouldn't say its spotless but its definately enjoyable. As you said in another post its good embarassing people in cars worth 10 times as much. Could certainly meet up some time for a wee rip. I fitted the braided lines at the same time but will definately need to get a bmcs too, I'll probably give them another bleed too and see if that helps.
  11. Mine is actually sitting a little below that most of the time now. It used to sit where Si suggested but I've noticed it fluctuating more recently, it will go up when driven hard as you say. I'm notreally worrying about it aslong as its not overheating.
  12. REFLETS Shelly no "C"!
  13. Yes. I'm not the idiot you take me for.
  14. I agree with the ray's nuts too, they are in the pipeline. Also the brakes have a specific bedding in routine which I've already done, although I'm hoping they may inprove a bit more as you say Liam.
  15. Yeah I did bleed the brakes, was probably gonna give it another go too and see if it helps. I'll definately be getting a bmcs at some point but was just wondering if you guys had the same dead travel in the pedal?
  16. Wow she is looking like a proper skank at the moment, I agree with Phil's point though. Also my mate thought you'd be pissed off because he got that c-pillar brace off the boy in fife for a tenner!
  17. Well I wasn't meant to be doing any more mods for a while but the brakes weren't feeling too good recently, so I upgraded over the weekend with the usual setup of 3G 10 Groove Discs, Mintex 1144 Pads, Braided Lines all round with Toyota DOT5.1 fluid and I even painted the calipers to show off the beastly 1 pots! So, before nice rusty stock discs: The new setup to go on: And fitted along with the pimped calipers!: The paint matches the rays stickers nicely: ] To be honest I'm not hugely impressed with the setup at the moment, I never use the brakes hard anyway but I like them to have good feel. However at the moment there is still a lot of initial dead travel in the pedal which I don't like, maybe a bmcs would help this? Although once they bite they do slow you nicely.. I also tried to get some nice sunset pictures last night but couldn't find a very good spot and it was a bit cloudy too; [img]http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa251/WallaceGlanza/My%20Glanza%20V/CIMG2896.jpg[/img Comments welcome.
  18. Here's the story: "After the Maxpower fireshow at crail 28.10.07 One of our members was targeted, followed and cornered. where the people involved then attacked our members car with metal poles, and continued to chase them. the cars involved are: Silver Saxo either VTR or VTS - Reg X665 YSF Yellow Fiat Punto GT Turbo - Reg unknown Red Pug 206 (poss GTI) with big flared alloys and the crail "Pig" logo on back bumper - Reg not known Red Escort RS Turbo MK2 - Reg not known Silver Pug 206 - Reg not known If u were at crail yesterday please look thru your fotos for these cars, if u have any information please contact me asap. These people need to be caught!!! ''On my way home from crail yesterday, i had my car with Lewis and Lauren in it. My girlfriend kirsty was following behind me in her car with her pal steven as passenger. she was following me home as she does not know the roads so whe wanted to stay behind me. Roads were soaking wet and quite dangeroud conditions in the pitch black. 3-4 miles out of crail i noticed a car come flying past kirsty on a corner and swept right in between us. He had his angel eyes on and foglights on and i could tell it was a saxo. He sat on my bumper weaving in and out to try and overtake on blind bends obviosuly relying on the lights from oncoming traffic to guide him. I slowed down slightly to try and get him to back off. I noticed there were several other cars doing the same thing behind kirsty. I have never seen anything like this, it was unbelievable and couldnt believe what i was seeing. I favored the centre of the road to try and prevent him from overtaking on these blind bends, as if he overtook then he would probalby run me off the road should there have been anything comin the other way. My mate Lewis at this point phoned the police to let them know about this dangerous behaviour. He got past me Just before st,andrews and slowed right down in front of me. There was a car behind me now flashing its lights and indicating left to get me to pull over. I was boxed in and almost ground to a halt. I checked my mirror and swung out and over took them and went as fast as i could to get away but he managed to get back past. We got to the double mini round abouts coming into sr.andrews still being controlled by the two cars front and back. THe saxo stopped and the passenger door opened. The passenger started to get out. I though f**k this and managed to get around his car. I went into st.andrews on the wrong side of the road and looked for side road to hide as they were quite far back at this point. I turned left and turned off my lights only to see a Yellow Punto Turbo GT pull up at the end of the road followed by a red pug 206 and rs turbo. There was no wayout except the way i came from (where they were blocking) I drove up to them and had to drive over the pavement narrowly missing a give way sign and there cars onto oncoming traffic. They got out there cars and chased me while i was escaping and pulled out several Metal Poles to attack with. My car got its back panel kicked in. Lewis was on the phone to police all this time. I sped off into st.andrews as fast as i could. I have never driven so fast through a town before but i just wanted to get home as we were all FEARING FOR OUR LIVES. Got out of St.Andrews and there was no sign of them at this point but 2miles out of there, i saw a car getting closer and closer to me (The Saxo) he overtook and pulled level with me then cut in right infront of me. He slowed me right down to crawling speed. No matter what way i went to go, he mirrored me to block me. The passenger got out again (this was in the middle of no where). I swung out as a last gasp attempt to get away. I was up on the otherside of the road on the verge narowly missing oncoming traffic and got away. Coming into the 40mph area coming into guardbridge, there was a queue of 15-20 cars in my lane. There was no way i was waiting in that traffic so i went on the wrong side of the road about 70mph in a 40mph zone and picked out athesmallest space i could to pull in at the last minute onto the correct side of the road before the roundaboutbut he still managed to get behind me. At this point the police had tracked us down and came flying up to the roundabout. I had my hand out the window waving and pointing at the saxo behing me. The saxo took a different route once he noticed the police. I continued on through to Pickletillum where the police relayed to us on the phone that they wanted me to pull over so they could "rescue us" as such. We stopped for 5mins. No sign of the police at this point, and as sods law would have it, the rest of the gang went past me. i spun round to point the wronf way and stuck my hazrads on as i could see blue flasing lights in the distance. Kirsty went past and stopped beside me along witth another of my mates on his car. The police took statement off me, kirtsy and my mates. I was in tears at this point but provded them with all the info they needed. I got a note of the Saxo reg which i will post in a minute. I have never been so scared in my life before and we were all shaken and upset. Police set up a cordon at the tay bridge to try and catch them but none of them went across it. The police are making enquiries and are contacing me 2nite. These folk need caught ASAP. They are out to harm folk and there cars and were clearly looking for trouble as they were carrying Steel Poles in there cars to causes damage. '' If you have any info on the following Vehicles, names or anything that might help track these people down, please PM me
  19. Calipers by TRD?! ;) Maybe pads yes. Also the intercooler is a wicked ep one not a blitz, I think the garage was making a few things up! The previous owner was chall but aarron before him who did the work on the car, admittedly not all to the best standard. ;)
  20. I'm running pretty much exactly 190bhp on the stock turbo.;)
  21. They're not so good in the wet when they're going bald and trying to get 190bhp to the ground!
  22. You may have blocked off the oil feed to the turbo somehow, this happened on mine and the turbo didn't last long. Did you get anything contaminated with the oil? It may have some crap in it which has blocked a line. Also what did you take off when changing the filter? if you had the air intake off then it probably is just as Paul suggested. I'd try to get it sorted asap.
  23. Did you buy the kit off ebay? Have a look for rads on there also.
  24. You're right, but they replaced the T1-S with the T1-R which is better in the wet and lasts longer too.
  25. So I see I found a pic of rubix's enkei's though, they're not the same however as they're a split rim two piece design whereas chief's are one piece.
