  1. ^^ 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!

  2. 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 :)

  3. 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

  4. 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 mechanic you wont know whats been esculated and what has genuine meaning behind it, have you got the mechanic to demonstrate the faults to you? you are within your rights to ask the guy what he means and as i say i get it a lot and am more than happy to show customers how rubbish there 09 vauxhall is

  5. 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?

  6. 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

    sorry for the rubbish photos will try find my camera :thumbsup:

  7. 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 :ph34r:

  8. yer man, duel carriageway or other places, its only happend since i upped the boost abit more, ive put it back down a couple notches now.

    are you from yeovil are you?

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

  9. 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, especailly in the wet lol

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. anyone came across this before? i have wired it up as per the quides and swapped the wires green and yellow so they are on the right ones but as soon as anthing toutches pin 7 (yellow ign feedback) the car dies or wont start but disconected it powers up but does nothing? i have cut the grey loop too, just been looking for ages and found nothing though i would ask before it drives me mad cheers

  13. not sure on the plans really, got to read up more on what i need to get to arround 200 ish

    yea i think it is been cut out and smoothed to be a wide mouth i guess and yea it has been undersealed jason :harhar:

    just been looking at servicing it mainly and cambelt want to get this out of the way first just got to find the best plugs for what i want and what oil they use? also ordered some magnacor kv85's as they look like good peice of kit?
