  1. seems to be gradually getting better and better, maybe its just because it was sitting around for a long time?
  2. i got it from shorty.. and no its not dropping off just seems like its spooling but not pullin
  3. maybe dumpvale problem i think
  4. got Blitz decat, sps mani, fuel cut, fpr, forge dumpvalve, hks hi power exhaust .. its the CT20 cut down to fit into a modified CT9 housing. so spool time should be pretty good.. just seems powerless. i have a EBC to be fitted soon. hopefully sharpen things up.. but also could be thinking maybe faulty actuator?
  5. I recently changed my stock CT9 turbo for a ct20 turbo, im haveing a weird problem where the car is boosting (hitting 1bar) but just seems so powerless.. ive checked for leaks and seems to be fine, only thing im thinking is maybe my dumpvalve is leaking, turbo gaskets have blown or something along those lines.. its spools up very quickly but doesnt seem to hit full boost untill around 6k revs? previous to fitting this turbo my stock ct9 used to stick and hold boost fine... maybe im missing something really simple.
  6. I work for Johnson Matthey and i make catalyst convertors that you lovely people take out of your cars As do i... great role model rolling into work with a De-catted Jap Car lol.
  7. That car went to a women owner after fisher
  8. Ive picked up a cheap CT9 Hybrid, but the oil seals have gone, ive got some new ones on order,.. how easy are they to change and does the turbo need re-balanceing etc?
  9. thanks guys, planning to get a hybrid fit next month, have the EBC fitted and get a remap running at about 1 bar
  10. Hey all this is my newish purchase, Its my 2nd V now and my 3rd Starlet. Since haveing this ive had to get 2 wheels refurbed, added a Blitz Dual Boost controller and a few little bits and bobs.. she needed a little TLC as the prev owner didnt seem to be that bothered about her.. just used her as an every day carrr. here are a few pics for you guysss http://img709.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=sdc13849r.jpg
  11. bcause i intend to fit a hybrid and run a bar bud, and i think its an excedy.. but im not 100%
  12. only ct9, running 0.8 bar atm. decat, uprated mani.. fuel pres reg and fuel cut, hks exhaust ... nothing putting out amazing power.
  13. ok bud thankyouuu, i dont think im doing it now unless i am subconciously.. but it seems to work fine when the cars been resting for a while, and then when i put some boost through it , just slips like a bitch.. think im just gonna replace it.
  14. hey guys, i just picked up my V, and it has a paddle clutch very high biteing, and i noticed when driving it back it seemed to be slipping alot... i got told that its probable because ive been riding the clutch as im not used to it... ive left it over night and drove it back from work and it seems to be ok... any ideas?
  15. doing that will be fine, however. if your trying to get the best sound Q possible, i would advise getting yourself some decent speaker wire and rewiring the system.. but if youre on a budget then useing the existing wire wouldnt be a problem.
  16. was good night , need the vid uploaded of us going threw the tunnel
  17. welcome mate, very nice glanza
  18. well i went round the corner near my house at about 0.2 mph and ended up in my neighbours front garden about 2 inches from the front door, and too my delight she was standing in the kitchen with a sheet white look on her face.. i then reversed out to notice i have curbed my new wheels :@.... so i will be touching them up when the weathers a bit better. i HATE snow.
  19. tell me about it, its like driving boat
