  9. Mike The car smoked from the day i collected it, it was the fitting of the seals that was the issue, there has been no other starlet that has issues reported with Zisco stem seals. I was out of pocket for turbo rebuild,pcv,gaskets and my building time all advised by you First and last response and i will not be returning to TD
  10. Marc Totally understand and this is not a one off with TD experiences, here's mine I had a forged engine built by them, engine out and back in including clutch, bigger injectors etc, i found a company supplying upgraded stem seals called Zisco, whom have cars running 400-500 bhp on these with no issues and no reported issues with them in the Starlet scene. All in all i paid in excess of £3000 for the honour, the day i collected the car it was smoking on tick over and i suggested stem seals but they said it may be down to the compound and they need bedding in so away i go to run the motor in.(More like damaged when put in) After 500 mile, still the same so i contact them and they say it maybe my TD04 that was the issue, so i strip the turbo kit out and send away for refurb( Liam D), rebuilding the car with all new gaskets etc and guess what still the same. I then run the car in taking it back for the re-map and it is still smoking, after the remap they say it maybe the PCV so away i go and change that to no avail, calls them again, struggling to keep it together!! they agree to send another turbo out as they insisted that the engine was all good, again i stripped the turbo out and replaced with another turbo using new gaskets etc and still the same!!!!! Another phone call and they agree to take a look at the engine, 4 months pass by of pestering and i receive a call to say the stem seals i supplied had failed!! but it had been smoking from the day i collected it! Obviously there were various messages between us as i said they had fitted them incorrectly damaging them as they installed them, this was going no were in the end i ended up paying another £360 to sort it. In all they had the car 6 months to sort the stem seals. I was out of pocket for Turbo refurb, PCV, my time and lost hours of use etc. It was the stem seals they were clutching at straws to avoid them rebuilding the engine but it was them that had incorrectly installed the seals you can understand my concerns on the map, and this is not the only car that has had issues at TD, this was one reason for taking it to Will for a remap Really going to miss you in the Starlet my friend John
