ok I've just went out and tanken some pics of the comp wheel using a mirror and torch (sz its camera fne my cameras batteries are charging) i dont think it looks like anything has been sucked through. surely with the speed it spools and if anything where to go through there it would grind back or snap some of the blades. what do you guys think

you may well get better gains from going down the management route but the most common way is the rrfpr and fcd and it will still give a good result and run safe if its set up properly

yeah i know mate, i was just to eager to get out in it, you know how it is lol, but shit happens my little glanzas been through worse lol

well today i went out and changed the oil and had all the pipework off to inspect for more metal but there is absoulutley no sign of it, im starting to wonder if the mesh even went into the hybrid and somthing else has caused this. im going to get the turbo off this weekend and get the old 1 back on and have this hybrid looked at. im getting really pissed off now im starting to think about maybe selling up, it would make sense to get a bigger car anyway with the baby, but i dont know if i could sell my glanza:(

I've seen that nova with the two C20LET's, the rollcage doubled as the cooling system lol mad as f*ck

how did that even end up in court? i bet if it was a woman it would just be another funny story lol

awk its no that bad. I've had a bigger scratch on my arse lol

i wouldnt say that tggt isnta close comunity forum, it is, you do get some really annoying people on every forum who just want to mock and make fun of people. On almost every car forum you will have people looking out for each other and helping each other out because thats what its all about. but when people ask you to pay for it then i think its quite shocking, i think if your donating to a club you are doing it as a thank you to the people running it for putting in all the hard work to keep it together to help out other people, you shouldnt need to donate to get extra features on the forum b

f*cking rite it is lol

welcome mate, happy posting

no way lol they are too dear, im gona get this 1 fixed hopefully. i dont think its that bad, I've been out again to look and the compressor wheel is fine i hope it wont be too costly though:(

oh im gutted mate but i cant really complain its my own fault for meshing it in the first place lol i was just so eager to get out in it, you know how it is lol. the screech your hearing will probly just be your air filter or somthing mate, if you heard the noise mines is makin you would know lol and its only when you give it a bit of hard boost. i baught a new van today so im thinking about puting the starlet off the road for a while to get things sorted/improved properly. at least i still have the van to get me from a to b

loopy lupo its a long video but worth a watch some amount of work went into this. that cage is like a climbing frame

now that gives a whole new meaning to a splitting sore head haha

where does all the money go? why is it keeping the site alive and what does the money do for the people who use the site except give them little things they dont really need? EDIT - i didnt get this email? i use tggt almost as often as uksc but prefer it over here, im not saying what they are doing is wrong or right because i have no idea what the running of a forum is like, but if people do pay it then they will keep asking for more

it made you cringe? i almost cried lol, dont worry i wont be using anymore mesh but it was my only option to get it on the road. jezza yeah i have a magnetic sump plug, there was nothing in the pipework though i had the core off and gave it a good shake and clean and there is a wee bit oil in the pipes and theres no metal in that. i dont even know for sure if its went through but something isnt right the way its dropping off boost and screeching oh and it was just very fine stainless steel mesh

the turbo manifolds have a turbo flange at the bottom so that wouldnt fit, there are some options availible but expect to pay for little gain

i know mate i got lucky , then i got stupid lol then it died lol i wouldnt know where to start by taking it apart, as i said though I've looked at the compressor wheel and it seems fine but there is still a whining noise and it boosts fine to start with then tails off, i dont know if just a little of the mesh went in or the whole lot, im guessing the majority of it would go through the intercooler pipes and not out of the exhaust?

eeeew i dont like any of it, but ohh my god!! that back bumper has got to be 1 of the worst I've ever seen lol

i put it on with a jubilee clip really tight i double checked it againg and again before driving and it was solid but then i had a look and it was gone, but it was fine, no drop in performance whatso ever, then it started making a kind of squeeling noise on boost. I've had a mirror and torch down there and the compressor wheel looks fine tbh step91 - i had no other option mate my relocation kit didnt fit because my i/c pipe route so it was either mesh it or leave it open, i was weary of meshing it in the first place. im not too fussed ust gutted really but it was good while it lasted haha.

BAD NEWS GUYS. looks like the hybrid did suck the mesh through it and its not boosting properley and squeeling badly, I've had the intercooler and pipes off to clean it but found nothing, but its f*cked already lol 1 day it lasted, oh well it was fun while it lasted haha thats a harsh lesson learned for me, ill never mesh a turbo again

you have a shorter rad than me though:> lol i had the turbo meshed but the mesh has came off with the jubilee:-S i hope its not went into the turbo. doubt it though because it still feels fine and i ut a mirror and torch down to the compressor wheel and it looks fine

aye mate, you want it back lol ill swap you haha. aye the power hike is awsome, just need to get this fpr and fcd set up lol cant wait til the weekend

aye av had tae screw it in a fair bit and its holding nice at 0.85, having my fpr and fcd set up this weekend to run a bar. aye gary its pulling like a train mate

thats the hybrid fitted properly and pulling like a train delighted with it:d now to get the fpr and fcd fitted. also anyone got a hotside i/c pipe lying around this 1's a bit thin and it gets in the way and i cant get my air filter relocated properly
