  1. Get your updates posted on your build thread mate! http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/27821-socks-white-glanza-v/page-58#entry858628
  2. I have to say though that's a lovely looking manifold and downpipe, I always admire the racetech fabrications
  3. Could you not pop to Ricky? I'm sure if anyone can sort it he can, he knows his manifolds and bits inside out, and has a massive rep. It's always a bit of a gamble with these so I hear
  4. Always the problem with these I've heared of a few that have been fine, I'm guessing the problem with the welding is the turbine housing is cast? Have you fitted it well? Dean from rw developments made one for a forum member and tbf I never heared it blow, apparantly it was a tight fit and took a few taps of a rubber mallet to get it to sit flush, I take it there's a seperator in the decat itself as the others ive seen have?
  5. From the thread I've just read on tgtt the owner of the forum said he'd seen two with standard rad, and they were so close that the engine movement brought it forward enough to pop the rads in both cases so simple answer is no...
  6. I didn't think so, I'll see if I can double check.
  7. Use high octane either way. It should give you more the cars mapped for more it wont be a massive amount. I do have a bigger turbo so I drive it like a n/a (Laggy turbo not daily friendly) which helps a bit, but even with ct9 I was doing similar mpg. And it'll help keep det at bay! Unless of course your a fan of a blown engine lol
  8. use high octane these cars are mapped to a lot higher than what the best is over here, but it's helps keep detonation at bay, and you'll also notice your mpg rises. I get 30~ miles per £5 and that's with high fuel pressure and standard map.
  9. Nope I think the zisco ram horns are the only ones about for standard rad friendly
  10. Mealworms lol! now that would piss her off
  11. Yeah mate proper shit.... Said no one.... Ever!
  12. The bulbs that were taken out have they gone white and misty with ball like things inside? I'd check the wiring harness that runs through the bay I had a look over some ones on here recently and the wiring had been scorched by close proximity to manifold
  13. Lol, love it! P.s. sorry if I came across as a bit of a nazi Adam don't take offence, I didn't mean for it to come across like that!
  14. An what is Wong wit da toyospurts bwuv?!
  15. Would look nice but I'd hate to permanently ruin that bootlid, I'd look for a cheap one and have it spare lol One with mid duck one without
  16. Toyosports If your good at welding
  17. Some had them some didn't my 97 spec did but my 96 doesn't
  18. Massive respect for that, it's something I would love to try. What kind of welder did you use and how experienced are you out of wonder? I really like to see people making a car there own using initiative and making things rather than buying them. Keep at it, it looks good!
  19. Very good price for a mean bit of kit. IMO best LSD for a ep. Glwts it won't hang about.
  20. Better ask Adam he pays for it (sorry Adam, don't take that seriously) Lol of course not, there's a genuine shortage of jobs and oppourtunities in this country I've two seperate licenses that i can't and haven't ever been able to use because I dont have the expirience, so how do I get the relevant expirience if no bastard will take on anyone without expirience? I have a lot of seperate qualifications in motor mechanics and heavy engineering and electrical so I'm pretty lucky in the fact if I had to search for jobs I could apply for a wide range, and also have forklift license, CSCS card etc
  21. Yeah no one likes a snitch. Probably on some kind of disability allowance, I know a few people that look like normal people but have severe disabilities and get brand new cars and bits, some of them work some simply can't.
  22. Some people have genuine reasons for claiming benefits to be fair though, I don't know it's just that kind of attitude 'i pay for that' that winds me up, the chances are one day you'll have to rely on a benefit of some kind for whatever reason. Fair play it's annoying when your working and you see the people on the jam role on Facebook down the beach enjoying the summer, but not everyone who is claiming can be tarnished with the same brush.
