Cheers for the comments, @Liam D, Did you sorce the new ICV from toyota? yea previous owner said it could be that, hopefully it just needs a good clean, fingers crossed. thats the plan mate, coming into more money soon and missis probly leaving for university ) : but that means more time & more money to spend on this, cant complain. yea keep an eye out mate

Haha you have no idea, if you met her your deefo wouldnt be saying that. yea the kiddy i bought it of said maybe the ICV, give it all a good clean over the weeked, getting new plugs and Lambda sensor. the kid i bought it of said that the dizzy cap and rotor arm had been resently replaced and has new magnicore ht's. My dad sugested advacing the timing a little, can you do this buy rotating the dizzy? i know what you mean about not sounding like its on all four, but its deffo different to when i picked it up. it wierd if you give it a bit of revs it sounds like a scooby, which cant be good. so

Yea cheers boys, plan is to restore her to good health first, then see how far my funds are going to go on this. maybe go forged, got a BIG payrise comming soon so fingers crossed.

Right, Been on hear for almost a year now, my first car was a red N/a ep91, which i love driving about in. This got me fasanated with all things starlet and decided to get a project car to fix up and hopefully make into something abit special. This is my first project and one of the main reasons for it is to build up my experience with cars and engine's. and sort of a father son bonding thing haha. any ways this week i bought a Black GT turbo. if i said it was mint i would be lieing. but its got a few months MOT and TAX and it was a bargin. at the mo it has - poor alloy wheels - poor elec

cheers bud. ill post on the progress, hopefully it will be good news.

doubt it has a fuel pressure regulator, its a bit of a mess to be fair. its got a acouple uprated parts. yea there is a difference in the higher rev range, but at around 4k in 5th it doesnt really pull ( really struggles to get past 80 ). ??? ill start with replacing the lambada sensor by the way Thanks for the help socks

All parts of the ignition system checked. all leads and plugs are sparking and spark plug gap ok. the electrode looks pretty pathetic so im gunna get some new plugs. the car is now running on all 4, but still not running right, shooting out black soot from the exauhst and the distinct smell of petrol. car idles at about 1k then drops to ~400. if you rev it more than 2k then on the way back down the rev range it stalls. pulls ok ish but hits a wall at 70 / 80. im deffo possitive my N/A is out performing the gt at the mo. so, its running rich. but dont know what it could be, injectors? manage

if anyone could give me some advice and point me in the right direction it would be greatly appretiated. i bought a gt yesterday that needs some work done to it. its only running on 3 cylinders intill around 3500 rmp. also it doesnt idle, you have to keep your foot fethered on the throttle to ensure it doesnt stall. last night after a 2 hour drive back home it was idleing (probly becasue it was warm), however it would go up to about 1k ( about normal ) and then die down and the rev counter would litrally read zero and it would then pick back up to around 1k again. the kiddy i bought it of sa

http://www.tercelreference.com/articles/au...conversion.html might help sort of.

i am tempting myself at buying a cheap auto as a project and swaping it for a manual box. conversion from auto to manual seems feasable enough, would have thought the other way wouldn't be verry different.

Congrads dude, Passing my test was possibly the best day of my life. drive safe ;)

haha, thats made my day after a shit day at work

this is not the case, how would they prove that you were the one driving the car?

i used auto glym intensive tar remover, didnt work to well but moisens the adhesive. heating it up helps a little (verry littl) then i rang my mate and got him to rub it off with his thumb. ha seriously found this the most effective way, push hard with your thumb or finger and rub the adhesive try to used the removed glue to take of the rest ( like the way to remove chewing gum is to add more gum. if you get what i mean.) a couple hours and a few blisters later, glue gone ( : haha good luck

sorry about jacking your thred, fair enough so its just tape then? i need to stick mine on. not a tte but http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....showtopic=32066 bought mine for him, sound guy

shitter mate, sorry to hear that what did you have it stuck on with?

Ill be up for a meet in either bristol or wiltshire. in the middle of both ( : Bristol would be good if any of the south wales lot want to come?

wasnt me. heaha but theres a couple twat GT drivers round my way too. give them a friendly nod or a thumb up and they look at you blankly like your driving something french. dick'eds

I feel a lawsuit coming along

115 ? your wheels are probs smaller than standard diameter so probs have a bit of speddo inaccuracy there

HA it wont happen anyway, how many times have stories like this come along.

It will disrupt wirless systems, i am unsure how to explain why. hmm basiclly, the sun sends wireless electrical signals / storms, that effect electrical devices. The electrical storm isnt going to travell down a big f off wire from the sun and be attached to the national grid so only houses and work places blow :S this will effect ecu's in cars in fact any elecrical / electronic device will be useless. im not scientist so dont quote me on it. but probs wont even happen to be fair.

u s domestic market :S ? Superlights on that look sweet mate, deffo wouldn't have the same effect on a glanza. looks old school (Y)

thats a good buy for a 24/7 i usede to do alot of riding, i have a DMR sidekick. havnt been out on it in ages, but as th summers hear i should take the opertunity to get back on it

still no luck ): ill have to have a quick look on my phone when i get the chance
