i dont think its that women hate cars so much, just ones they dont like. my mrs goes on and on and on about my car, recons i prefer it to her, which of course is true we've had our rocky bits, mostly because of the car and me going to car shows etc when shes not interested, but insists on coming. i was almost posting this very same thread on monday lol but youll be fine mate, get yourself out and about, and get some work done on the car, she'll not even cross your mind if your busy

its a rotating knocking, if i slow down so does the knock, if i speed up so does the knock. im gonna get some cv joints on order, seems like thats next in line how many splines is it likely to be on a 1997 jdm glanza v?

i spent 160 quid this week on some new bits that would hopefully stop the knocking thats coming from the front drivers side, i bought new drop links and poly bushes, new lower ball joints, new track rod ends, and a pillowball mount form the d2s that was suspected to be the cause. now the car does feel a million times better, alot tighter and it feels completely different to drive in a good way, but the knocking is still there. now this has got alot worse recently, to the point now where i can feel the vibrations of the each knock coming through the floor pan. you dont need to be a genius to

have you got a paddle clutch? mine does it if you try and pull off using hardly any revs, but its one of the spec 6 puk paddle ones. a standard or uprated standard clutch should be in my experience

get the middle lined up and put a screw in each side of the lower middle bit, then work round from each one bending it round as you go, takes a good few screws but its about the only way itll hold and look good, where the bumper curves on the corners tighter you may need a heat gun to warm it up, i used one on mine., tbh think youll struggle without one. part from that a job well done

mine makes a knocking noise when i drive and i was told thats the pillowball at the top of the strut, creaking could be your anti roll bar drop links, mine does it as well, soon to see if its solved though ive ordered a new pillowball mount for mine (£60) to hopefully get rid of the knocking, ordered new droplinks and poly bushes, track rod ends and some other bits to cure it. ill post back if the pillow ball and drop links stop the noises

i put £56 in mine on monday, that was on v power. think the pump said id put in 37 liters. but it was the emptiest ive ever had it, tbh my light comes and goes until it does get proper on the low side. id say your good for 20 mile -

i liked that low n slow one, had a fooking great sound system, think the lad was a dj or something, saw some cards on his dash that said so anyway, least i think it was his car. what you think to the black civic coupe? thats who i was there with lol

Anyone put their engine back in without a crane?

i used a jcb lol -
i have an emanage blue, cost me 240 quid with everything needed to fit it. i havent got it on yet as lost job and havent got enough to get it mapped yet, but like you i need reliability but want to run about 210-200hp. i am on td04 as well. surely if your tracking it you will want the best map for it, instead of an easy plug and play? i dont know how good they are but surely they cant be as good as physicaslly having the ecu mapped to you exact set up and car and how/where you drive it?
-
ah fair enough, least theres gonna be a good few starlets there then hope it stays dry. be a right shit hole if not
-
sound what you running if you dont mind me asking? any rough ideas what i should be doing it in? td04 on wepr kit, .6bar boost fmic full pipe etc?
