The Toffinator

Get a nice SR or modded normal one, they only need lowering and a wee tidy up to make them decent!

Yeh it was me thanks lads, the punto wiper does sit lower down, and angles differently. works as well as the standard one, and there available pretty cheap if you can find one of the feckers! Heres how mine sits, half way down this page http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....mp;#entry601142

Decided im keeping it, love the thing too much and i have spent too much time and money to get rid just yet. Big update on the 5th or 5th of september, A few new items i have bought are getting sprayed and blended into the rest of the bodywork when it gets freshened up... Cannot fecking wait

Thats awesome, please band them steelies, leave it that colour and go embarass Everyone!!

Me also, mine has a little u that sticks out of the seat and theres just a hole in my floor...

Lovely nick that is matey! made some decent progress already. and the strut braces do fit, but you have to have a little fiddle with them to get them sat properly, mine i just removed the rubber washers and pushed the bracket brack. its close but it fits

Is this a 4efe in a GT or glanza or have you just turboed the engine in a sportif etc? always wondered if that was a possibility!

Jayyy let me know how that goes! sounds like a good test for it lol

Looks awesome dude them wheels look brilliant! Oh and you need to post up a tutorial on them doorcards:P

Luckkky sod with that inlet:0 and the sard filter i believe is pretty rare, but just whack that cone on the end of a long pipe and enjoy the noise:p

Aww man:( no wonder you didnt update it:/ But as others have said onwards and upwards to better things, good luck with getting a v dude

Yep as above, got a quote for a bumper from a breaker and they said £50, heard £40 before but £50 is closer to the mark. Out of interest would you post it is i want to buy one and have money waiting?

Just turn the boost up, an electronic boost controller will safely take you to 2.5 bar with that model

Looking forward to seing the results of this!

^^^^^YES^^^^^

I just bought some yellow bulbs too, hope they arent illegal!

Thats awesome man! haha! think your best bet would be to get some 15inch steelies of the same 4x100 stud pattern, with some fat tyres and get them on, still look standardish, and i have some springs and shocks you can buy man

Lovely looking car dude! Oh and the rolla manis are a piece of piss to fit billy! basically unbolt it all and fit the new one, but then the throttle cable doesnt fit properly so just a small bit of cut metal to make a new holder took me about 5mins. Job sorted

Regardless of the engine, semi synthetic oil thats 10,000mile old will be doing the engine NO good, yes it may run fine, but its not ideal, and especially on an old carbed engine, it will be fairly hard on oil i would of thought, just change it every 5 or 6 thousand, its not expensive to do.

Ahhh wasnt thinking there dude, you have a carbed 2E, lol. like asad said then its an old design engine, so a cheapish 10w40 semi is what you want in it, but same again, as long as they pass decent specs!! Oh but in that engine i think every 10thousand miles is over the top, every 6 would be better, no matter how good the oil 10k is too long if anything!

No worries pal just everyone seems to get caught out and go on the brand names! and lol i wish i could mate:P and gains its just a better oil generally, doesnt break down as quickly as semi, works better at temperature and has better chemical properties etc. Oh but to go fully you will need to go 5w40 oil

Can you please get some photos up of the engine? interested in this

First of all dont bother with engine flush, if you want to flush it run some cheap oil through it for 10mins or so, then drop it out change the filter and put in good oil.Oil wise you dont want to be paying daft money for a fancy name, cheap carlube stuff or anything that passes most manufacturers specs. and spec wise volkswagen and porsche etc are the Highest, so if you can get an oil for say $£20 that passes these tests you dont need any better. And just to add to that i get the highest rated fully synthetic oil we put in bentley continental GTs and AMG mercedes for a pound a liter. work that one out!

As aboke mate, where are you located and whats the mileage?

Thats a shame:/ but tbh would want it an exact match, but like i said it will be an easy 300 quid to do what i want, but i cant make my mind up:(
