  1. If not, could be the clutch starting to let go, or a crack in the manifold caused this issue with me...would only show sometimes under the right conditions when the crack would really open up under boost
  2. That's pretty impressive, glad to hear your alright though mate, been there, crashed the car, bought the T-shirt as many others have and at the end of the day the car can be replaced...you can't. Don't beat yourself up over it
  3. My glanza shows nearly 190.000kms but it was converted to miles around 2 and a haf years ago, never missed a beat
  4. Very sorry to hear your loss mate, our thoughts are with you and Charlie's family

  7. Nice one! When my loans paid of im getting myself an EP95! Oh and anyone wanna cover my shift at work, I work at the ski slope, it won't be busy honest!
  8. I'd rather have these wheels and so does he I'd hate to hear your opinion on my dads Gunmetal evo 4 when it had deep purple wheels
  9. Im from Trinity myself, this is out in Bathgate where my stepdads place is.
  10. Thought i'd stick a couple of quick pics of the stepdads toy...he also just got a bowler tomcat after building half of one and fiding one for sale at a steal! So the half built is going to be spares now, and after blowing 3 tires out on his first race last week he'll need it! Here's his Ultima GTR (took 7 years to build this by himself! Spot the half built tomcat in the background?) And the back, all be it without the grill because the very loud, non legal sounding exhaust tips are a different width apart from the legal ones, and they had just been put back on after passing the noise lev
  11. Some say...his blood type is "V Power"...and when he tries to write anything down, it comes out in Japanese...
  12. My old man will be selling his Evo 4 soon enough
  13. Jesus, just realised this was probably me!
  14. Yeah i'd say ebay job for sure, it's identical to my old one that's being welded and flanges flattened again after only 2 weeks of light abuse on the car! Funnily enough I got mine trough autobahn as they had none of their own, AB88.co.uk was the site, NEVER BUY OFF THEM! They still owe me money!
  15. Hey guys, just fitted a new exhaust manifold ( 4efte by the way ) as the standard job was cracked. I went for the cheap replacement option and after a problem with autobahn88 not being very customer focused I ended up with a japspeed tubular blah blah...by the way this thing doesn't fit well on my car, exhaust is pulled to one side a bit now! So ive fitted this myself, made sure all bolts are checked over a few times after warm and even sealed the gaskets with a good exhaust paste to make sure no leaks. HOWEVER! I now only boost to around 0.65 bar, where as before it was around 0.8 or just bel
  16. I have a near standard EP91 all be it with a 'gutted' cat, hks induction kit, blitz nur spec back box and an HKS AFR fitted...this was on the car when I bought it and I still have no idea what benefit this AFR has on a car of this level nor what it should actually be set at!? I think its on 7 right now but any info on this controller and what it should be set at, what it can be used for or if it should be removed would be great! Cheers...Mike
  17. Hey guys just a quick update on the situation that might help others, I contacted toytuning via email and gave them 7 days to deliver my items and stated the "Distance Selling Regulations 2000" which as some of you are aware is the contract you enter into when purchasing items through either phone, Internet or writing...I stated that if this was not so I would contact trading standards and have a case set up. Martina emailed me back within 2 days and not only apologised but also said that I would be waiting another 5-7 days atleast! Needless to say I declined all offers and stated I would like
  18. Yeah its meant to read '4.85 psi on high boost'
  19. We should get a horrbly chav'd starlet and get them to buy this kit and crank the boost up fool...see what happens...I reckon a YouTube top 10
  20. Obviously TM-Developments know nothing then ...I'll buy this kit and show them ( then go and pick up all the peices along the A1 that blew apart 50ft down the road and grovel to TM-D ) If anyone is foolish enough to buy this ( says me that got robbed from toytuning and awaiting money ) let me know how far you got before it went 'POP'
  21. I bet it just smells of quality, then the box arrives through the door and you get all excited and when you open it there's a rusty charade gtti turbo, a cereal box with a picture of a front mount on it and some garden hose from b&q
  22. I found some cheapo kit for the starlet on ebay and thought i'd share this 'rare' and 'quality' sounding kit...might be alright but its a bit cheap for a decent kit surely!? Here's the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/RARE-95-99-...sQ5fAccessories
