  1. I'm surprised you've not seen me on a weekend lol. Damien
  2. It's all about getting everything perfect, having the correct torque settings, knowing how to set certain things, using the right bearings, it comes with practice really, shit happens, I once snapped a ring when rebuilding my c20let, luckily enough it was a spare engine. You can actually get build manuals too, it helps to be meticulous with everything. I've got a build portfolio from a prokect that I did, i'll try and find it for you, then you'll be able to see how much work goes into one lol. Damien
  3. A glanza for me is only £200 more lol, the one I was quoted for was modified too, all stated. Damien
  4. Mines £1050 for an SR with an accident under my belt:| Damien

    Damn!

    There's a hilux owned by my dads friend, thats on something like 832000, will try and get a pic, all he's ever done is the general service items, pretty impressive i'd say lol. Damien
  6. Nothing wrong with a good gsi, especially when it's running a high power let:P Damien
  7. Followed you back from retford to worksop, different coloured wheels on the front to the back. I was in the blue isuzu lol. Damien
  8. Mine reacts better to tesco's 99 octane, bp ultimate it seems less responsive and alot less smoother. Damien
  9. Hence why I do all my own work, no matter how big or small, similar situation happened with my parents isuzu, all was needed was a simple clutch change, 3-4 hours job, costing no more than £270 inc genuine parts and labour, needless to say, they made out it needed a new flywheel, which I know for a fact it didn't, ended up costing over £700, anyway as time went on, It was due for a service, as I was removing the underbody armour I noticed a rather shiny snap on spanner wedged on one of the gearbox bolts!!!! Hmmm, so out of curiousity I checked all the other bolts, of the 12 tha
  10. Can honestly say my starlets never been over 80 lol, my corsa, that was different lol, Damien
  11. The wynns carb cleaner is fantastic, powerful jet aswell as great gunk removal. Damien
  12. Tb to mani? Or mani to head? Both were fine, though need a new gasket which i'll make at work. Damien
  13. I've got a set of shotgun cleaners, just attached them to a flexi pipe, sprayed some carb cleaner down and scrubbed, as for the tb I used a toothbrush, same stuff. Damien
  14. Yesterday out of boredom I gave the inlet and throttle body a good clean on, plenty of gunk was to be found. After a thorough cleaning, and readjustment of the throttle cable, went for a drive, and it drove so much better, it revved alot quicker, no hesitation whatsoever, Has anyone else had similar experiences? Damien
  15. Very nice, engine bay is very tidy, think a nice set of Do-Luck's would suit it to the ground lol, car is stunning though, what plans you got performance wise? Damien
  16. Starlet__SR

    Wow!

    The first vid is off of High Octane 3 or 4 I think, mental car, mental engine lol. Damien
  17. My mate did the same thing, wasn't as nasty but still very gory, got some weird looks at the hospital as I couldn't stop laughing or spewing lol. Mistakes are made though, hope the fella regains full use again Damien
  18. You're best bet is to shop about, give you chance to have a new head gasket and timing belt fitted too. I'd do it myself, but unless you're the technical type i'd take it to a specialist. Damien
  19. Pretty much a bolt in job, why don't you just get the head recon'd instead?? Damien
  20. Thanks japcarmaniac:D I've made my decision hehe Damien
  21. White is a bitch to keep clean, and it doesn't look that good with the white paint, just looks boring. Just want something that looks good but doesn't look stupid. Damien
