  1. your fine. she probably has moaned about you to the plod, but if the best they can do is look at your tax then they obviously have nothign to go on. if somebody complains then they have to be seen the area (otherwise she would only be moaning to them about useless police not doing anything) just keep it below the speed limit, and keep the revs down if its late at night (surely your taking it easy as your pulling up to the drive to let the turbo cool down anyways). and be careful, it happened to my mate he used to boot it along this one road in his evo at 5am on the way to work every day passed a dog walker. he always used to moan. one day, there was the police gunning along that round at that time. obviously looking for him, as why would they be doing checks at 5am :/ just keep your head down, if your below or on the speed limit you know your in the right
  2. i will check tomorrow, thankyou. i just thought it couldnt be overboosting as my FCD would tell the ecu that it wasnt overboosting, even though it is obviously im not hitting fuel cut (due to the fcd) and there is no affect on performance
  3. is this a suggestion of what it is? or just a fyi? would the fcd block this code from ever showing? can i still check it even though the light put itself out? or do i bridge the connector, then make it do it? or will it read the last code from the machine?
  4. I am running my glanza, it is set to 0.7 bar but creeps to around 1.1 at the top of the rev range (creeping due to relocated airfilter and decat/exhaust system) When i get to approx 5 thousand in second the engine light comes on, as i slow down it normally goes off, but as if i keep booting it (only done it once, as i genuinly didnt notice the light) it stays on until i turn the car off and back on again. If the light is turning itself off is there a way i can read the code still? i have a fcd, so its not the boost cut light, unless that would still come on just not cut it? i also dont have a fpr(ive got one on order), and i changed the plugs and they were still white. so i know im running lean, would the fueling put on a light? im just looking for ideas, i know its difficult to be an internet mechanic but any suggestions?
  5. well nobody has comment calling me an idiot yet. so this makes me feel less bad
  6. ford panther black it has a nice gold fleck in it, doesnt show up in a picture
  7. well, i had never noticed, but im sure ill get told 'duh' by loads of you but 98 spec and 96 spec wing mirrors are different. when my mate snapped my wing mirror off with a football, i had a look on ebay, and eneded up picking up a glanza drivers mirror with glass for £17 shipped in blueish silver. My mirror was snapped at the black base plate, so the plan was to unscrew the mirror from the base plate from the lower 3 screws and screw my colour coded bit on. but the 3 screws are in a different layout on the 96/98 spec mirrors :/ so no worries, ill just put the whole mirror on and get it sprayed. but the mirrors are different shapes so the car looks a bit silly from the front with different shapped mirrors. so i think ill spray it myself, and keep looking for a 98 spec wing mirror to get spray proffessionally. sometimes i hate my car :| also, neither of my mirrors will electrically adjust up and down :/ folding and left and right works. not left and right, any one got any ideas. i noticed it today when i was testing the new mirrors electrics, but it could have started anytime to be far as i never really adjust them, you just set them and go :/ also, new from toyota the mirror is 240 quid. so i think ill pass on that :|
  8. that filter relocation is a great idea. can you explain how the piping goes and route?
  9. ive got a soft spot for these charger, slamed and cambers on staggered dished wheels are the sex
  10. im really happy with it. bring on the optional lips (front and back) and an externally gated hybrid with FMIC
  11. ok, so i came second in POTM, beaten by Marc Moss. But there are some updates on the car. 1. The HIDs are back in and working 2. The standard rear lights are back on, i know you will all be happy 3. The JAM spoiler is on ;) I have also sticker bombed the dash insert, although I havent decieded weather to laquer it in or not one of the evo 7 recaros in in, although waiting to work out WTF to do with the passenger rail side, then that seat will be in (Ps, what do the standard glanza spoilers (98 spec clear brake light) go for? is it worth selling?)
  12. lew try this unlock the phone to the main screen. hold the lock button, and the home (circle) button together until the phone screen goes black, and shows an apple logo (this could take 30 seconds) the phone will then reboot, and take you back to the home screen. try again now and see if it still pauses
  13. i think you have pretty much everything. except polybush kits and some wide wheels
  14. im watching parts of it cause my parents have it on. but doubt ill watch it all. im just jealous of the queen rocking no front number plate with all those police around
  15. looks clean matey
  16. I want to know this too also what will i need new apart from a rocker cover gasket? changing my cover for a painted one
  17. paintwork stripes look stupid the exhaust looks bodged the twin airfilter thing looks like a right twin turbo wanna be ebay special and the fact the bloke says the classic '1.3 on the logbook' confirms he is a tosser, and is one of the people giving us starlet owners a bad name
  18. maybe im thinking of this one: http://www.snopes.com/photos/automobiles/silveraudi.asp not sure, i read something about shrink wrapping, i shall have a bit more of a look
  19. im a fan of those green wheels
  20. i read before, its not white gold. its shrink wrapped in a chrome stuff. ill try and find the link tomorrow
  21. they are meant to come in 3s, so just hoping my car doesnt catch a light tonight!
  22. well my car was damaged today, twice some guy a bashed up old e class merc was reversiing out of a space next to me, went hard lock and put his front bumper into my rear one was being a knob, went to drive off before i stopped him. as i was standing a bit away from my car. and was mubbling when i tried to get his details off him, but gave him a pen, and he just wrote them down. rang the police, and they said just to take his details and they had made a note of it. was a big scuff down the the back bumper, luckily no damange to the volks or to the rear quater. most of it has polished out, so i will have a look tomrrow, but dont think it is worth the hassle of claiming. as it has almost 100% gone, and im a perfectionist so if im happy, i dont think its a problem. And then.... i was down with my mates playing football, and my mate lobbed the ball to another mate. and it landed square on the drivers mirror and snapped it off, from the black plastic at the base of hte mirror. :| not impressed. didnt want to drive anywhere as didnt want to damage the paintwork. from the mirror swining. but i had a 10mm in the car, so the mirror came off. then another friend of mine has some plastic welding stuff. where you put a powder on, then add a liquid. so we plastic welded it back together, and its all pretty much good as new. ahhhh, bloody horrible day for my car. but i took it for a blast through a twisty lane with my mates Fiat 500, and that put the smile back on my face. oh my car, i hate it so much yet love it so much.
