hi guys been looking through all the topics i can find but i have a issue with my car, i blew the headgasket and have done that with a kit from toyota, have re fitted everything and have issues running, the car will only run if i fully retard the dizzy and when it does then run it only revs up to arround 4k before missfiring so it wont rev any more. i intially thought that i had timed it up wrong on the belt but i can put a pin in the hole by 4e and my line is alighned, and the dot on the crank is alighned with the point on the oil pump.. then i removed the plugs and put 2 bits of weilding wir

ofcourse its under powered, chuck the same sort of money at one as we do our ep's and its a different storey, theres a couple out there 300+bhp with standard internals, fine if you can afford to shell out 12k plus for the car in the first place, just horses for courses really aint it, they are very nice but not that sort of money

^^ yea very true, i work for vauxhall too and had a play against my boss in a corsa vxr artic and it killed my gt, and to drive i much prefer the corsa unless you happen to have a astra nurburg ring they drive so much better than the standard one its untrue!

mine looks a bit like gary's but all over the rear screen too, aint cleaned it in a few mounths and it now has added hand marks all over it from pushing it in and out of the workshop :/ it will get the clean of its life before its next propper outting, if i ever fix it

sparky i wrote like a huge reply but forum must av been gay boost was at 0.6 bar? thanks paul ;) unfortuntly its just been towed back on a aa van from the seaside dont run and doesent sound like it wants too lol, ul now find me on the tech section for the next few days lmao

spec is basic stage 1 mods, rrfpr fuel pump plugs fcd 8.5 leads fmic nothing really special, need a manifold i think for more power? but it made 140 at the fly 130 lbft and 109 at the wheels, but clean no lol its all the camera lol

last weekend at tsr really good people and quite accurate too let me kno what you think guys

theres a few but there is genrally a lot of them arround this area

was that sunday? if so the gt would have been me i expect, did a quick tour lol

glad that somone like you has bought that car, it is sex on wheels, did you keep the wheels on the pic with it? want loads off your 82 just skint like your plans by the way

i get this a lot, get angry customers wanting to speak to me after servicing there cars, all i do is something like note a fault weather its minor or major it gets esculated by reception or back office staff, mechanics genrally dont talk to custmers unless its a face to face conversation as time on the phone is time wasted. in your case could have been a mechanic that drives loads of yaris's and has loads of experience of them.. have you considered that maybe he belives that your mums car has a high biting point on the clutch or something like that, unless you can see a written report by the m

put a standard fuel pressure reg on, the rrfpr is the problem, well not really a problem but mot wise it is lol, mine is exactly the same and as soon as i put the standard reg back on its all good

cheers luke and chanelle and thanks yea lovin them, sparky no i dont think so there 14's and they have been brush painted was going to strip them down and paint them orange and use them occasionaly lol, badass (still not fitted your old fcd by the way) that is a rubbish picture there is no arch gap at all its down 40mm as it is think thats enough for now, can actually go places unlike my previous -100mm corsa lol. the filter relocation i aint sure on, what do you do with the vac pipes and not sure on it when it rains?

looking good dude, am quite fond of the quad light ones, exhaust looks similar to what i have, gotta quet it down somehow police do not like it lol

done a few more things to it went mad on camskill and tm-developments website and between the two bought basically full service kit with everything possible, cambelt kit magnacore kv85's, fse rrfpr to match the fuel pump already on and few other lil bits just wanted it running spot on. this is before i went on my spending spree and this is after, poor photo on the outside got some new wheels and a carbon scoop, again poor quick photo sorry for the rubbish photos will try find my camera

theres loads of arguments for and against vauxhall, all that i have had have been good fun and one i find a home for my 2ltr turbo lump i will probably go back to the vauxhall scene. that said im loving my gt but cant get anywhere near my vauxhall engines power unless i spend a load of money, id go work for toyota but my loacall one is only a small one unfortunly

yea i work in vauxhall mate, cheers glanaza love makes me feel warm inside knowing you think that

yea mate, used to have the c20let astra xe corsa etc, got a black starlet now supprised you aint seen it

you managed to hit fuel cut arround yeovil? i get it all the time but sure my spec is bit higher than yours mate

think i have seen that pug before.. were you at fcs09? your not too far away from me anyways.. nice v

im in yeovil mate, usually out taunton way just crusin about but aint bothered in this one yet, give me a pm maybe could meet sometime.. yea the dials are fine to use, cant coment on night yet as i aint had a chance yet only just gone in but in the sun today they are fine, there more of a matt finish so dont reflect quite smart really, yea the wheels are deffintly light, i swapped them front to back when i had it on the ramp and picked up my old astra wheel at same time the difference was unbelivable! yea i dont really intend on sitting there on the limiter but launch control is what its about

there 14's mate, a lot of people are sayin there nice but i think there just a bit too mini/old for my liking?

yea i can belive that, this one's trying to shag it before even working lmao... i dont go anywhere near the limiter anyway just want to set it to like 6k ish so if i get carried away i dont go upto 7k

lol im not going to bin it i just need to find out whats wrong because every diagram i can find says its wired in right but my spidy senses tell me i shouldnt be feeding the coil 12v.. im not a lover of the wheels but they have good tyres and look ok for the moment, want some rays wheels or something really in anthracite. and cheers guys but white wheels get dirty faar to quick, not quite as bad as my last cars orange one mind lol

bought the car 2 weeks ago since than hav not really done a lot, had a lot done before i got it but plan is to get it up a bit more on power and try keep the reliability and not melt it. pics above is the first real difference i have made, have also fitted a bee*r but to be honest mite bin it cuz it dont work just messed the car up so just sat there disconected lol, will update as i do stuff but oppions welcome
