Would it still boost and hold boost if this was the case? also the car is feeling a little down on power.. Also this sounds like nothing major does it to anybody? just turbo problems? I am dreading piston rings or something like that.. however i hope this isnt the case Dan

Eek that doesnt sound good at all is there anyway i can check the things you mentioned? im just starting to do all this DIY stuff myself soo still learning where all bits and bobs are Ect. how can i check oil pressure? and would the oil feed coming off mean there is no oil going through the turbo meaning no lubrication?? also another Thing that came to my attention was a very high pitched whistling sort of noise coming from the oil breather pipe (not sure on name for it) Dan

So tonight at my local car club meet, a few of us went for a nice little blast down a dual carriage way and upon return my friend said a lot of smoke was coming out of my exhaust when it was pulling. so i immediatly became worried and notified another member of the club. anyway cut a long story short, aswell as the smoke on acceleration, if the car is left just idling, after about 10 minutes the floor beneath the exhaust has been painted Black in an oily substance, and also i held my hand underneath exhaust and it appeared to be spitting out a Brown/Black oily substance and a fiar amount of it

I think this pic is an awsome picture and oh my god i love that colour! may i ask what colour it is? i am not familer with 82's Because i think the colour is amazin!!!

listen to this one its real nice and grungy for ya one of my personal faves. just keep listening till it drops http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1acPYhOpUoU AWwww it just dropped as i was typing. gave me chills

First attempt at one of these but here we go Thanks

how about this??

Yes thats my inspiration too mate, but now im thinking maybe midnight purple. exactly the same as that liner previously posted! Still not sure though Dan.x

Isnt Dans glanza jsut the standard colour for glanzas? Ao1? or sumthing like that.. Dan.x

Not a massive fan of this colour but thanks for the suggestion, appreciate it Also i am loving the idea of bayside blue!!! YUM YUM Looking like Nissan Midnight Purple at the minute though. And i might also add that the RS green is rather temptimg too!! lol with white wheels aswell!! OOOOO Thanks for all ideas so far guys! loving them keep em coming Dan

Hmmm thats a bit tooo vibrant no? lol:P and yeah that does look a bit rubbish to me howver i thought cadburys purple was darker?? I was thinking something along the lines of.....

Yeah would appreciate that pic if you could mate Erm yeah i am thinking red. and the purple, i was tinking about that because if has a lot of depth in it which i like lol! Thanks for that idea Dan

Yeah i thought about glow in the dark paint that is white in day then in dark it glows up either green, blue, yellow, ORange/red. Was thinking maybe a glow in the dark rising sun on roof or up the side of the car.. lol mad but unique i guess. More opinions the better guys so please take time to post Thanks, Dan

So yeah will be getting a respray within the next 6 months. Need and want peoples opionons on what colour. Now i think Red will look nice as i have white wheels on the way plus red glanzas are fairly uncommon. but what do other people think. also dont want anything too mad as dont wanna make it harder to sell or devalue it or destroy the look of it so yeah lemme know you opinion However i really kinda like the idea of a cadbury's purple?? would that look nice or think it would look too "Barry" :/ Thanks in advance for you suggestions guys! Dan

I also think mine is doing this not too sur ethough i will go check now, im scared! hehe. As asked before, are the piston rings an expensive fix? easy to D.I.Y? Dan.x

I think i know what you mean!! when ya stop out onto the kurd and your knees are higher than your face

I will be there, but will be with my local Jap club but if Uksc puts a stand on i will definately come say hello. i ahvent really been active on here but, gonna start being!! Dan/x

Lol well this is my first car.. Gayest thing in the world is i actually miss this car Abuse as you wish Dan.x

This is a beaut of a car matey i love and that paint has a very nice deep shine Also im glad to hear that it pulls well, im scared to get anything N/A after my starlet lol because i was thinking S15 spec s for insurance reasons and i think you may have just sealed my thoughts Dan.x

Yeah i have tried Releasing it both whilst on and off the car matey i had it ina vice also and tried more brute force to get it undone but that still didnt work the only other thing i can think of is using extreme heat but as previously mentioned that could cause it to explode and i dont want that lol!! Is it possible to strip these things down completely or??? Dan.x

By taking weight off the coilies you mean taking them off the car and doing it?? sorry lol im a bit of a newb at all this DiY shit but i need to learn to save myself all that silly labour cost garages charge ya!! I am refusing to pay them any longer lol!! So yeah please elaborate my friend Dan.x

Ah this has helped alot thanks Luke and also thanks for the suggestions on loosening up the coilovers matt!! i will try the spanners again with the pole for extra leverage as you say, but this will be for sometime this week now i might just purchase some new coilovers to be honest Getting sick of trying to loosen it up!! GRR! Dan.x

Yeah they really are a bitch as you say mate! yeah i have tried like half a can of DW40 over the space of an hour. and i just dont seem to have enough brute force to get this thing loose it is really getting on my nerves too because i desperately want to lower the rear of my car!!! GRR!! Any methods of brute force you reccomend?? I was Also thinking using extreme heat on the ceased area, would this be ok or would it damage the coily?? Dan.x

Lol well thats good then i was only wondering because ive seen cars with like a sort of extra bump bar that goes across to absorbs impacts if you get me Any advice or ideas on releasing a ceased coilever?? i really cant afford to get some news ones just yet lol! Dan.x

Hey guys, Today i felt like i should sort my car out a little bit so i went to work on the rear bumper because there was a massive gap underneath the rear left light and a few people said it might be some clips snapped off holding the bumper up however on removal of the bumper, there was no clips so i put the bumper back on and now the gap has decreased a fair bit :S i dont understand why but happy with that.. Anyway my first question is this. Now i thought that al cars had some sort of bar within the bumper to absorb impact in crashes so when i saw thsese two holes (shown in pic) i worried, S
