  2. When people like that ring me and ask to talk to Mr. White, i just tell them hes dead, and that im his grieving son and that they have no heart ringing and chasing him,

    usually after the wards - He's dead they hang up <_<

    haha i love playing games with calls from companies

    my favourite is the vodaphone game

    they ring me up saying is this mister fairhurst, i say yeh, they say is this a good time, i say no, they say can we ring you back in a few days, i say yeh put the phone down. a few days later they ring back and i do the whole thing all over again lol my record is 3 weeks and still not talking to them lol

    and at the scammers they are total gimps but to a lot of people they seems convincing so cheers for the heads up dude lol

    my bro in law has a megasquirtII he raving about it and keeps telling read up on it it seams a good piece of kit but you got to do alot of reading, he converting my old corolla to a turbo 4efe and using it on that hope the link helps.

    thats the link i needed! thanks bud! a guy i know is running this on his rally car and says how awesome it is...

    people complain about them but its usually due to poor building of the ecu to begin with from them!

  4. Hey mate i would get the boosting issue sorted first, as you would need a few mods from standard to safely run 1.1 bar!

    Also the Hdi boost controllers seem to be quite good there is a trader on tgtt called dane (sps) im sure he sells these and had alot of good feedback!

    Also about the AFR guage if you get a narrow band guage they are only accurate around stoichmetric (14.7) so are not really useful! But a wideband AFR guage will come with a wide band sensor, and need to be fit in the exahust, just after the cat is best i think.

    Hope this helps. :)

    thats useful, thanks mate, so need a wide band afr, i geussed that about 1.1 bar, thats why i wanted the boost controller this weekdn so im not tempted to use the high boost button!

    So far i have an Apexi exhaust system (inc decat) And a HKS Induction kit, with HKS plugs. (crap i know!)

    what else am i needing?

  5. hey guys

    right, i have LOADS of questions, im usually more at home playing around with my 4 pot VVC'd rover engine! so please forgive me :)

    right, i have just got my Glanza V, and have had a few problems already,

    cracked head, but i think i am getting that sorted!

    But i need some advice with other bits, i want a EBC, and i think i am going to go for this one i found on ebay - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/HDI-full-electronic-...A1%7C240%3A1318

    does anyone else reccomend these and how long do they usually take to arrive?

    Also, it seems my boost gauge is hitting 1.1bar when on hi-boost, which i know is wrong, so obviously the ebc would correct this, how much damage does it do running it at this boost?

    I also only have a 2 pod gauge on my a pillar at the moment, and it looks rubbish, and the gauges are different styles, i know what gauges i want, i want an AFR, a Boost gauge, and and oil temperature gauge, what is needed to fit a AFR gauge and an oil gauge? obviously i can use my existing boost gauge cabling etc. ideally to be delivered by this weekend! where can i get all the bits needed to fit them too?

    Also what weight/thickness oil is best to use for a change on these?

    cheers guys

  6. what is the best electronic boost controller you can buy? needs to be reasonably priced and do the job but im not too fussed about makes or anything like that.

    and what is the most boost that should be run as standard?

  7. Well, after months of looking, I found myself a white glanza, bought it yesterday, looks like ill be gettng rid of it aswell now, I got it back to my garage and up on the ramps and started checking it over and investigating a whistling that has appeared on the way home. When I take the heatshield off the exhaust manifold there is a crack around the left hand side exhaust manifold.

    So looks like its fucked to me and needs a new head! Enjoyed it for a day I suppose, wouldn't piss on the guy I bought it off if he was on fire though! What do you guys think? As bad as it looks? Fixable? Or am I better off driving it through his front door?

  8. A BIMTA certificate is a very good thing to have

    but not essential?

    what paperwork would be usually expected with an import car?

    just trying to gauge if something is wrong and thats why its not there, or if the generally dont have any with them these days!

  9. Is the car from a garage or is it private? also how long has it been in this country? when i bought my first gt from wrc in bradford they didn't give me any paperwork with it, however when i imported my ek9 myself i had all of the documents to register it in this counrty vat, customs etc.

    it was importedby WRC originally IIRC, but its a private sale now, so there is no legal requirement that you should get a copy of the paperwork?

    was imported start of 2008

  10. Welcomes dude...theres a nice collection of white beauties in the builds section have a ganter and most of all enjoy your stay :thumbsup:

    yeah ive been having a look and getting a few ideas! Got a set of Lenso Concept Fives on my GTi at the moment, and i think theyw ould look stunning on a V! even better that they will fit straight on...

    Thanks for the welcomes :harhar:

  11. Hey guys, just popping in to say Hi. My names Jamie, im 19 and from deepest darkest cornwall!

    Looking to buy a Glanza V next month when my insurance is up for renewal, Right now i drive a Rover 25 GTi, (yes, they made a GTi, everyone is usually quite suprised at this! :thumbsup: )

    143bhp, only thing that is missing is the turbo power! Was going to transplant a 200bhp turbo engine from a Rover 620Ti, but for the cost and reliability etc i may aswell just buy a car that was designed for it!

    Im going to wait until i can find a decent Glanza in white though, that is the only thing that i have to have! And im led to believe the Offset is 37 and PCD is 4x100 correct?

    Cheers guys!
