  9. What proof is required? Will mapped it, it was rubbish. The car didn't get driven for weeks (bar one weekend) while I decided what to do with it, until a mate persuaded me to give it one last change by having it mapped elsewhere. A week later it was mapped again and is now like a new car. I wish I had popped over to give you a test drive of it Rob, trust me you would have been asking questions. I'm not saying Will's done a bad job on your car, but he did on mine. I didn't contact him saying "Refund of bad feedback", I wrote an essay outlining everything that went on, and I suggested a refund as a resolution. Will completely ignored me. He didn't even give me an alternative resolution, an apology, an explanation, absolutely nothing. That's terrible customer service. Since posting this up I have had atleast 3 people telling me of similar problems (and in one case a lot worse), but it's up to them if they want to share that. I have been a member of Civiclife for just over 7 years, of course I wanted to post on there. The forum is now quiet as most traffic has moved to the Civic FB group, hence me posting it there. It was only deleted because the group admins are friends with Will (and even they didn't agree with the way Will dealt with all of this). If anyone wants to see the evidence of this, feel free to PM me. As for my past, of course I'm not perfect, but I don't know exactly what you're referring to and how it relates to your mates bad mapping on my car If it's that important, feel free to make a new thread or PM me. I will say this much though, bad traders never last and we've seen many examples of that in the Starlet scene over the years. I've been an active member for 9 years and traded through most of them, if my past was as bad as you make out, I wouldn not still be here. 5 pages of 100% positive feedback on TGTT between 2008-09 (when I got banned for trading), 3659 feedback on eBay with 99.7% positive, 10 pages of feedback on here with 1 negative, what are you getting at? Of course we have had customer who have issues with parts, but we work to resolve this and not just ignore them!
  10. We stock them too: http://id-workz.co.uk/toyota/starlet/starlet-glanza-ep91/engine-tuning/oe-spec-lambda-sensor We have 15% discount on for Black Friday too, PM me for the code
  11. They will fit, dip them in hot water and use washing up liquid to gently slide them on as mentioned above.
  12. That's the TF035 mate, I've kept it on
  13. The car never left my sight at RDT nor at TRL.
  14. Matt (TRL) drove the car and said "it's not right at all, but I can fix it" He tried to read the old map and he couldn't. He deleted the map and got on with his job. Once done, he passed me the keys and promised me I would love it now, and I did. No comments were made regarding past issues whatsoever. Matty please take your BS elsewhere. Thank you.
  15. Sorry about the lack of updates here. I found the problem with the car; it turned out to be the mapper (Will @ RDT). He mapped the car badly twice. See more details here: Click 10th October 2015 I had the car mapped by Matt @ TRL Developments on the same setup as above. No issues to report, and she made a healthy 251 BHP / 220ft lb @ 1.15 bar. I haven't got any more graphs yet but I'll update you all when I do. The car drives amazingly. It's safe to say I have fallen back in love. I could now focus on other areas. I fancied a set of Team Dynamic Pro Race 1.2's and Aamir just happened to have a nice set in 15 x 7". He kindly donated them to me and I had them powder coated Candy Blue. Next on the list was to fit a few suspension parts that I had gathered a while ago. This included Whiteline ALK, SuperPro front bushes, new ball joints and new track rod ends. I also had the wishbones powder coated black to keep them fresh (pics coming soon). Once these bits were on, I fitted the new wheels with new Toyo T1R's and had the wheel alignment done. Next was to focus on the interior. I fitted a set of SR3 Recaro Confetti's on Recaro rails, a matching arm rest and a nice Nardi steering wheel to finish things off. I also fixed annoying little issues such as the interior light and fused bulbs in the speedo. It's the little things that count! Interior pictures to follow. 29th October 2015 Me and Uzzy went to Belgium for Super Sunday at Circuit Zolder. Unfortunately we didn't get any track time as it was sold out but it was still a great event. The car performed a trouble free 1250 miles in the space of a few days. A few random pictures below. I think that brings us up to date! Lots of future plans but no rush.

  16. Firstly I would like to say I am gutted to have to write this out, but I have offered Will a fair solution which he has chosen to ignore. I will try to keep this as short as possible. Last Summer (2014) my Glanza was running 193WHP on a TD04 at 1.05 bar. The spec included WEPR manifold, TiAL F38, JP FMIC, Fujitsubo Power getter, Stock injectors, Stock fuel pump, Sytec FPR, EMB, GReddy Profec B, plus the usual bits. I wanted to add some 'upgrades' for 2015 so I took the car off the road over the winter and added the following: S/S WEPR Forward facing manifold kit, TiAL MVS, Short routed FMIC (JP IC modified properly by Dean @ RWD), Apexi AVC-R, Walbro fuel pump and Denso 370cc Injectors. After lots of research I decided to book my car in for mapping with Will @ RDT. After speaking with him over the phone, I thought he was a genuine guy who knew what he was talking about. I asked him whether to use the OEM FPR or the Sytec, he preferred the OEM so I refitted that. After fitting a new distributor cap, rotor arm, Magnecor KV85 HT leads and HKS Iridium spark plugs I went down to RDT on 28th March. Will did the usual health check on the engine and spent the afternoon mapping it. The car made a whopping 157WHP. I asked why it was so low, and I was told something is restricting the power. I wanted to test drive it before jumping to any conclusions, so I did. I genuinely have no words to explain how bad the car drove but I'll try my best. It was hesitant to come on boost, it made full boost late, and the boost was spiking. It felt like the wastegate wanted to open fully at 4K RPM but it had been controlled to open slowly and to make full boost at around 5.5k RPM. I told Will how terrible the car felt and asked for his input. Will suggested it could be the exhaust, I told him that's unlikely because others are using the same exhaust on higher powered cars. The next suggestion was that something was causing 'drag' on the hubs, either a seized calliper or wheel bearing. The disc was cold so there was no issue with the calliper. His next suggestion was the design of FMIC. Apparently the design was flawed and that was causing extra lag. Again, false info because Maddox uses the exact same FMIC at ~300bhp. Last but not lease, Will suggested the brand new Walbro could be fault (I fitted this an hour before mapping). It drove so bad that I was completely put off the car and didn't bother driving it for the next few months (apart from Japfest but even then the whole journey was done off boost). I had not lost my faith in Will's mapping capabilities so I changed the setup on the car and planned to go back for another map. This time I fitted a brand new WEPR Ram kit instead of the F/F, a very good condition TD035 turbo, new TiAL MVS, new fuel pump, new spark plugs, different injectors and a few other small bits. I also removed the short route FMIC, and fitted an unmodified JP FMIC. I booked the car in for another map on 26th August. I arrived 30 minutes late and was therefore greeted very rudely by Will. I was meant to arrive at 9am but arrived at 9:30 due to traffic. Will told me I'm too late and that he has been waiting for me since 8am, he said he wasn't sure if he could map it now because he had another customer arriving at 10. I have two points to make about this. 1. Will told me to arrive for 9, not 8 (have the text as proof) 2. Had I arrived on time (9am) he could not have it complete by 10am anyway. Will's rude attitude had already ruined my mood but I thought I'd forget about it once the car was mapped and running well. So, after a few hours of mapping Will broke the news that there was “still something wrong” with my car and he can only get 153 WHP @ 1.2 bar. As before, I reserved my judgement until I drove the car. It was still horrible. The smaller turbo meant it drove slightly better, but the same boost issues remained. Again, I asked Will for advice. He scratched his head and tried feeding me the same bullshit about something causing drag on the hubs. I insisted that wasn't the case. Will tried to think of other causes and eventually came to the conclusion that there is an issue with the engine; my camshafts are worn. I sh*t you not. To me, this comment summed everything up. I paid the bill and escaped from RDT as fast as I could (not very fast with that bloody map). I had finally found the issue with my car; the mapper. This still made me lose heart with the car so I left it parked for next couple of months. I finally decided to take it elsewhere for a map, and this time I opted for Matt @ TRD Developments in Halifax. I went down to TRL on 10th October. He drove the car and without trying to slate the previous mapper, agreed that it was hideous to drive. Matt tried to look over Will's map, but Will had locked it. I waited around and Matt had the map complete within a few hours. I was pleasantly surprised to see a figure of 251 BHP at 1.15 bar. I didn’t want to get too excited before driving the car though. The feeling was nothing short of ecstatic; the car drove amazingly. It makes full boost a lot sooner than it did on the old map and does not hesitate whatsoever. I am over the moon with the cars performance. I did not think it I am just annoyed that I didn't go to Matt sooner. Had I gone to TRL back in March, I would have saved around £2k, a lot of time and stress, and best of all I would have actually been able to drive the car this year. I am sharing this feedback as I wouldn’t wish for any other car enthusiast to be messed about this much. If you have your car mapped there without issues, good for you. This is my experience so I am free to share it.
  17. Read my post above mate, I've never adjusted them and don't have the time to try them, hence selling them so cheap.
  18. Yes mate
  19. Yes, I believe so
  20. Bump for a box
  21. Looking forward to seeing this reshelled
  22. Harness - Sold FMIC - Sold Buddyclub wheels - Sold Seat rail - Sold
  23. Wow, it was just a suggestion.
  24. Completely covered? Are you suggesting that every inch will be covered, leaving him absolutely no clean space to pull it off the car with his 'bare hands'? You can cut out a few lenghts to cover the car, fold then up and store it in the boot. Once you've used one piece, bin it and use a new one. I didn't suggest using the one piece over and over again. Jeeez.
