other smoking could be caused by *worn piston rings as you said (checking compression would be a good idea) *pcv valve blocked *valve stem seals gone (try taking the car for a drive, pick up some speed and drop it down a gear and let it slow down with engine braking, if it smokes more when you do this then valve stem seals will be bad.) *head gasket (check for mayo looking gunge round oil filler cap) quite a few possiblities to be honest and lots of ways of testing. search on here theres loads.

oil seals on turbo probably gone and and allowing oil to pass through them. check your turbo to intercoler pipe, if theres alot of oil then seals have gone. also if dump valve is spitting oil thats a sign of turbo going i believe. 12 psi shouldnt be much of a problem tbh. 14.5 psi (1 bar) is where you start to reduce the little ct9's life so ive heard.

what do you gain from blanking of the bov?

i think mine handles pretty well tbh. very little understeer & body roll... seems to stay quite flat round corners but back end starts to twitch out when going over a bumpy road at speed :/ lol

hahahahahahahahahahahahaahha that last one is f**king hilarious!!!! :surrender: ;)

you might have been craig because ive seen you a few times when i had a 1.8 sri corsa. but people keep txtin me saying theve just seen me. when actually they havent because ive been at work or something lol so i think theres a very similar starlet knockin about.cheers for happy birthday bud lol

cheers lads yeh mate been driving it for about 3 week now. just got viper alarm fitted on weekend

as of today i am no longer a teenager how depressing lol

;) haha what can i say... i was 17 !! lol

think thats best looking clio ive ever seen dude lol. especially with it starting life as a dynamic i had a clio once upon a time too (first car) 1.2 expression haha

i wonder if toyota have got a collection of every car theve ever made in japan with a nice new shiney gt & glanza

yep

^^ lol

i heard 0.85 is fuel cut if the engine can breathe good (relocated air intake, decat, full exhaust) either that or its 0.85 full stop

maybe its aftermarket actuator then because id imagine if it was a standard weak actuator then i would get boost creep which i dont think im getting tbh. i havent hit fuel cut.. yet (fingers crossed) and as for fcd im not really sure but ive checked behind the glove box near ecu and cant see one.

providing it is standard that is lol

so you cant adjust the standard one then? how is it that its boosting 0.8 bar then?

ive recently bought my v and its boosting 0.8 or maybe 0.85 not sure at the moment as i havent drove it much yet but i know its something in that region...... anywayyyy just wondering whether my actuator is likely to be standard with boost set at the above or wether it would be an aftermarket one?

i cant stand the idea of having no air bag but they luk mint

might aswell buy a 4efte and drop it in. & ecu, loom, new exhaust etc etc

sweet

i know what it means lol im talking about if theres any special meaning with it been on a car

Why do alot of jdm cars have rear 'shocker' sticker? is there any meaning for it?

dont know about part number but theres some orignal v deflectors on ebay - postage is pricey to clips included http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-Starlet-EP91-...=item5ad5f57741
