The Toffinator

Hahah think we both did! And yeh thats what i first thought, knackered the feed but it was the rubber pipe which turned to plastic lol. And yeh im making a list...

Yeh was a good laugh, and lol yeh your face when it snapped And i was working on it trying to get that bastard intake pipe on without shredding my hands :surrender:

Big update, Me and micky spent an afternoon playing with the turbo and fitting my new manifold etc today Managed to get the manifold fitted, Turbo stripped and wastegate ported, And boost set up to match now it doesnt creep! Car in bits, front bumper off, air filter, turbo etc... Heres the comparision beetween the 2 manifolds, New manifold is unknown, had my mate brace beetween the 2 flanges. Wastegate after porting Only had one misshap, Typical oil return hose, was rock solid and split immediately, was ridicolous, glad i found it when we did tbh! Heres the finished article, Looks alot better and after turning the boost up to 0.8bar it pulls a hell of a lot better too! Excuse the few poor photos, we were concentrating on the job lol Thanks for looking! TT

If this custom turbos any good liam hope your thinking of making more for me:D

Very fair point matey, they arent a new school engine thats for sure. Might just keep running it on toyota semi synthetic then:)

Bump

Bollocks, supposed to be epic graded oil that they put in porsches and allsorts:/ Wasnt cheap gear. And yeh i would micky but im convinced a fully synthetic is better;/

It does have low ash properties, but its not specifically low ash. This is the description GB TURBO PD 5W-40 is a fully synthetic passenger car oil formulated using the highest quality synthetic base oils and enhanced additive systems for use in both petrol and diesel engines incorporating three way catalyst (TWC) and diesel particulate filters (DPF). It has been specifically engineered for where a low SAPS product is required (sulphated ash, phosphorous and sulphur) and has been developed to maximise the life of the exhaust after-treatment systems.

Just after a bit of advice here, as most of you probably know GB Provide great barrels of oil to garages etc and there all made to spec, My mate got a 50litre barrel of this stuff: GB Turbo PD 5W-40 http://www.gb-lubricants-fuels.co.uk/documents/contribute/TURBOPD5W-40TDS256.pdf That we were going to go halfs on, its a very expensive oil from the company, and meets and exceeds VW,Mercedes, Porsche and all the other really high specs. It does however say its suited to diesels, i know diesel and petrol oil is much the same now, so is this oil just a mega high spec oil that i can use in my Glanza? Thanks!

Thought i would whack this up here, its made by an MP so should make a difference. Takes 1 minute to sign. https://submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/354

Cheers Lou, Defintely made a difference and has cleaned the bay up lovely!

Im sure you can find a resistor to match it dude. i had the 50w versions of them bulbs and they were good, let me know how you get on with them in 100w form! Will they damage the headlights with them being plastic though?

Is that them creaking from the fact there sticking on and getting mega hot? If so its a sticking caliper lol!

What boss kit did you use matt? I want a wheel for mine but want a decent boss kit that doesnt put the airbag light on

Lmao i had that post up for 2 seconds, and photobucket spazzed up so i redid the post:P

Spent 5 hours on sunday giving it the full shebang detail, engine, and exterior Claybar,Machine Polish,Prewax Cleanser and then a coat of wax. Heres the results( Excuse the flys, i only drove up the road as well Also bought an Rx7 intercooler courtesy of Louis, Fits spot on, looks epic, and has definetely made a difference, car feels more responsive, picks up better and feels a lot cooler after a hard drive! Notice the standard strut brace, as mine was missing i nabbed PhilGT93`s to fit to it Also gave the rocker a clean up while i was under there, as was a bit minging before! Also bought another goody thats hopefully being fitted on saturday, i will keep you all posted:) Thanks for looking!

Ooops damn photobucket

Great seller, ordered late on sunday, was promised first class postage on monday and it arrived tuesday morning all in order and well wrapped. Thanks mate!

Wheel sold

Yes them square lamps have made it!!

As above, any brand:)

Any more info on this dude? and any idea why the seals have been tampered with?

Looking at buying this boss kit for my glanza, anybody heard of the make? Dont want a cheap one with it being a snap off boss! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Supra-Snap-Off-Hub-Boss-Quick-Release-Kit-Celica-Starlet-and-Glanza-/300647296528?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item45fff9ae10#ht_514wt_1037 Thanks

^^ Not a bad idea mate, i buy it in 25litre tubs, so i could always wham that in, then go brim it with v-power. Every other week or so just use v-power and a shot of redex for good measure lol

Fair point mate, could always get it checked i suppose see how it runs it!
