  1. It's a starlet..... It will take a hell of a lot to make it break down. At the moment mine has cheapo asda oil in it which it is currently burning at 2 litres a month, Blue smoke comes out when i start it or rag it hard, oil valve seals have pretty much gone and it has a tiny oil leak. Plus it's done 93k. AND still it runs fine..ish and still pulls hard just as i like it. Your probably thinking im nuts but im getting a new 4EFTE turbo engine put in shortly. If you havn't been on the motorway before or very little then like people said take you time. Vision is everything. If you don't look pr
  2. I've been looking on there website and according to them it is a bar and plate kit. Here is there website. Click the monster bar and plate kit to get to it. Looks like my mind is made up now anyway. Im getting this one as soon as i can. What sort of power do you think i'll have with this intercooler, HKS bov, no air con, and custom exhaust. Just want a ball park figure to know what im starting with once it's running. Cheers Bourkey
  3. ahhhh ryyyyttttt. Im gonna sound stupid again but what is a bar/plate intercooler?
  4. It on the ad my friend ...580mm x 210mm x 100mm. Obviously im a newbie to turbo's so tell me if i being a bulb!!!
  5. 13kg thats quite a lot come to think of it. Glad my engine hasn't got it. Does the aircon unit takes some of the power away aswell as it's belt driven form the engine even when the aircon isn't on. Im planning on ordering this intercooler very shortly. Is it any good? I havn't seen anyone in the UK with one on so i thought i might aswell give them a go. Was thinking of a group buy aswell to get the price down a bit. What do you think? Also whilst im driving it slowly to run it in im thinking of running it without a BOV for a month just to save me a bit of dosh and then ill get a HKS jobbie a
  6. I was honestly about to post a topic saying you needed a new one. Ever since i joined you have had the same sig for the entire time. Please someone change it for him!!!!!!!!
  7. Answer to all your questions.........Yes.
  8. As Alex has said we have just decided to leave it all to the shipping company to get it to my front door. It would use roughly the same amount in petrol as it would cost to get them delivered. So we thought we would just save the hassle and the 10 hours in a van or car and just leave it to the pro's. The engines are being delivered in a tail lift van so we have to get a pump truck to wheel them into my garage where they will be securly locked up until the cars and us are ready for fitting them.My room in my house also has a direct view of the garage aswell so i will be keeping my beady eye on
  9. Keep at it phil!!! I've seen your car in the flesh and i love it!!! And as for the conversion. I had a fund for the conversion which i have overspent on and over christmas i had to watch what i spent but i just keep thinking of what the end result is going to be. So far i've spent 4EFTE rebuilt engine with new modified loom £780 FMIC £300 BOV £100 Labour to put it in £100-£200 New exhaust (quoted) £295 Import charges £487.22 I could have sold my car and bought a glanza easily with the amount i've spent but i wanted the conversion to
  10. THE SHIP IS IN!!!!!!!!! The weather was perfect all weekend and today so it docked perfectly on time. It's gonna take about 2-3 days to get to the container the box is inside though. The next bit of news is this: Rent charges which are incurred soon after the container devannes. Terminal handling £55.00 Delivery order 45.00 Customs presentation 5.00 Customs clearance 60.00 Delivery
  11. PM Mikey as he works for a company that do it. :angry:
  12. 95 euro million tickets are bought. I will get this if i win!!!! I promise you!!!
  13. I also see daily a brand new Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 in black. The number plate reads "Weapon." Looks brilliant. Also see other things like Rolls Royce Phantoms, Ferrari F430's, 360's, 550's, R8's, Gallardos, Maserati's Hummers and other usual cool cars. And yes Scutch0 the detailling is amazing to say the laest. They get a massive crowd whenever one parks up near my work. The benifits of working on the main road going through Manchester. Bourkey
  14. Click on the link on my sig as he has got a website now. The one that says fully rebuilt engines. Your right the service has been excellent from the very start. He always responds to any questions quickly and has kept us informed every step of the way. I would recommend him to anyone doing the conversion or just wanting to get a 4EFTE for there Glanza. He also does other engines aswell like the 3SGTE. Bourkey
  15. ;) It may be someone connected with the Gumball 300 rally as it was also there last time i saw the start of the rally. Just a guess though
  16. Mj does have the power to assist me. I'll find out today or tomorrow as the company in charge of the box once it gets here have said they may be able to arrange shipping to my front door. If not then Super MJ to the rescue. We are getting superly dooperly excited now!!!!!! Bourkey
  17. You may have heard or seen the one that got a parking ticket in Manchester city centre with BULL 5 as the number plate. I see this once or twice a week as it passes where i work. And yes it makes me all excited too.
  18. Another Update, A mixture of good and not so good news. Firstly the engines are only being brought to Southampton docks and not delivered to Manchester as we first thought. So now we have to arrange the 500 mile trip to get them from Southampton and bring them up here. We are also trying to see if we can find a courier who will pick them up and deliver them as that would be much easier seeing as the box is the same size as a pallet and weights about half the weight of my car. Due to this we will now be missing Bluewater as we are going to be using this weekend to sort this out. At least we
  19. What a bulb!! Not surprised he got pulled. When i got pulled doing 70+ down a main road in the middle of the night i got the bollocking of my life from the officer who caught me. I deserved to be banned for it but i think the screaming at me did the job as i haven't done anything like that since. And he didn't punish me at all. Either way he is gonna be punished. It just depends on the officer or the judge to decide how much of a bumming he gets. Just pray that either the officer or judge isn't in a bad mood. Good luck to him Bourkey
  20. Now the Tein springs are a bit of a grey area with height. They don't look as low as some of the other "sports" springs out there but from my experience id say they handle extremely well. They stiffen up the ride nicely. But springs like the P.I. ones seem much lower if you want to go towards the looks side of things. Bourkey
  21. FECKING WOW!!!!!!!!!! I want that in my life. Black with red lip FTW!!!!!
  22. don't worry im just pointing you in the right direction (get it hohohoho). Bourkey
  23. As soon as i finished the black with a red lip one i wanted it. I think i may go with that one. It's a couple of month until i do it i just wanted to decide. Looks really racey i think!!! Bourkey
  24. The reason people go handling mad is so it works. Fair enough lower it for looks but at the bare minimum you would need the panard rod so it drives in a straight line. If you lower it the car will move towards the right slightly. It is also noticeable aswell. Hope this helps. Bourkey
