ryan lang

welcome to the forum kidda good to see you finally in a starlet hoping you keep this as clean as your padres looking forward to seeing it progress moar pics though dude ;)

no its wasnt blocked originally, but i only blocked it after it started smoking to see if that was why it was smoking, turns out its not my pcv valve at fault because it still smokes with it blocked off

1. Hou (either day and any number of cars) 2. Socks 3. Steve GT 4. Idrees (weekend) 5. Ryan Lang (weekend) im sure jade would be up for this too as she's been talking about taking her car on track, so this would be perfect for a 1st time ill ask her today

good shout dude, i did one of these threads a while back just for piece of mind to a seller something got damaged on the drive up for a swap so we agree'd at the time that id paypal him some money when i got home, because i didnt have any on me at the time so we put up the thread at his house just so there was no funny business

ive blocked the pcv valve off, so its definitely not that dude but now my breather filter on the rocker is slowly getting soaked with oil :/

things that look good to you, may not always be good for you but yeah on a serious note, i have never tested either so i cant pass previous experience comments on but both traders seem to be the top 2 guys when it comes to exhaust fanimolds so either or are the way to go and i know everyone absolutely bum rapes toyosports, but ive never heard of a toyosports kit braking before, and we all know what abuse taggy's td04 kit gets and its still going strong so also bare them in mind too

asad, it smokes constantly, on idle, and all through the rev range and cheers jamie, ill try that this afternoon

yeah i suppose dude. getting annoying now though, because the engine was fine before we took the original head off, and its been shite ever since

no, my oil level is dropping too, need a compression test to see if its the rings :/ unsure if both heads will have had stem seal issues, because its my standard head back on there now :/ which had no problems before it came off :/ yeah they were black, havent checked the new 1s :/

yup cant wait to see it progress dude, so get snapping and posting

no loss of water mate :/ just a lot of white smoke, and black towards the top end of the rev range :/

cheers mate haha he was clearly talking about mine mate ;) sod what everyone else thinks mate, its your car, do what YOU want to it lets face it, n/a's are ugly lol thats why most people rep them

pretty sure a drive shaft is on its way out now too, getting crazy knocking from the floor just behind the dash when im cruising and let off the throttle, and also when i ever so slightly touch the throttle. getting a dodgy whistle when i change gear at over 3k revs :/ this cars time is slowly running out hoping i can get a few things sorted when my grant comes through, but how much i can get done with the little money i have is going to be the deciding factor on wether i fix it, or get a different car :/

is the gold badge an optional extra? amjad will be pleased lol. although i think he may have taken it off :/

yeah they should do john good to see hes getting a jap car, and a starlet at that

want to hook a brother up with a fixed JAM skirt? lol

okay mate, will update the thread once ive checked it tomorrow

yeah new gasket both times, and also torque'd it down

okay mate, will do in the morning

yup no missfire from the engine, i changed the plugs and leads tuesday night

no, didnt get it skimmed. head gasket was only replaced due to testing a 4efte ported head etc, which was also burning oil. now we put the original head back on with another new headgasket

havent checked the water, but theres alot of it coming out of the exhaust, definitely losing oil though

it seems to change color to be honest mate, just had a new headgasket put on it, and its up to about 100 since then, but overall its 115k on it. it smells like burning oil, but its way to thin to be oil so i think its a mix of both sometimes its like a yellowy white, sometimes its pure white, i even had black smoke yesterday.

its like a dark white smoke, and when i put a piece of white card infront of it, there was quite a bit of wet soot, and this continues to happen all day no matter how much i drive it, so it cant just be condensation on start ups, and it hasnt exactly been cold the last 2 days could it be the headgasket? if not what else could it be?

lmao i was supposed to be racing the mx5 but you shit out haha, OJ i know, i had a good day today, gotta put my old gay baby TB on now because i know the tps sensor works on that lol as it only smokes in t-tec now and the n/a tb doesnt have t-tec but better than it being gay and smoky, but i might just wait til the other glanza TB that chris sends down and just swap them straight over but im sure im missing a pipe, so may have to go buy some new water hose so mo monies again! not good! proper need to find a job
