Your EML light should come on when the ignition is switched on and go off after the engine is switched on, unless theres a fault. No light at all suggests the bulb is blown or been taken out. Also, get the coolant sniff tested for exhaust gas, sounds like your headgasket is about to / aready has gone pop. A lot of these wee cars have been abused sadly.

I like this one the best.

I remember seeing pics and an old for sales ad of this on TGTT. Looks tidy and a good base to build with.

Love the early ones. Import service sounds awesome

When i was building my car up i changed the looms, on my current one there is no spare plugs around that area, apart from one which i think is for the cat temp sensor which is long gone. I'll switch a few about and see whats what. I had the oil pressure switch plug plugged into that black one, oops, which constantly had the oil light on. I still have my old looms, so im gonna see if i can find this wire on that. I set it with the idle screw on the throttle body. My idle control valve was spotless so was my throttle body, i also checked my throttle position sensor, but that was fine. As i said my throttle cable was too tight. Cant get my fan to work though, if i give it 12v and earth it works but its not turning on when the car is up to temp. Well halfway up the gauge.

From the outside there is no real way to tell. Get a loan of a bore scope ( somehow ) and have a look down the spark plug holes at the pistons. Possibly might be able to see the rods by looking up the oil return ?? Or through the sump plug.

Does you thermo housing plugs look similar to this ?

The 2nd one isnt the in car temp gauge, i dont have a plug for that sensor either and my temp gauge works. Im having similar issues to you mate, i think your idle and fan problems are unrelated. Try and get the idle to normal first. Check the throttle cable isnt to tight and opening the butterfly slightly, thats what my idle problem was.

Is there washers on it ??

The amount of stuff i took out and the weight of it was unreal. Stage 1 weight removal lol. Mind you add a fair bit of weight too, with FMIC, exhaust is heavier than stock, so are bigger turbo kits, braces etc. Dont want to end up with a fatty do you ?? Haha.

I dont know if im the only one thats realised but you seem to be posting up a lot of questions that have been covered 100s of times. There is a search bar at the top right of the screen. Also theres a very helpful technical section on here with years and years worth of info / posts / topics / how2s / questions etc. Have a read through them pal.

Is that the one with the diagonal starlet decals up the sides ?

Mine was never ment to be daily in the first place, i just wanted it as a project thing to slag about in on track or whatever. But i'll have no choice but to run it daily, or continue to fucking walk to work, until i get another daily.

I will be driving mine daily for a few months at least, never had it on the road yet so i dont know what it'll be like... I went all out, no carpet, heaters, radio, rear interior, glovebox, sound proofing etc. Am gonna hate it lol.

Addy, whats wrong with momos like ?? LOL, kidding, my GT came with homo momos and i fucking despise them.

A CT9 hybrid will bolt right up to your existing setup. Might have to mods the air filter though. There are many different types of CT9 hybrids, some good and some that were ment to be pish.

RAGE !! At its finest right there ^^^

What was in the Cresta, 1JZ ?

Its a very rare system. And it looked decent when i had a little look

I'm covering my ears.

This has a 5zigen cannon ball exhaust on it. Spied it at Japfest haha.

Just instantly ban them instead.

Yes to both. But defo replace the driveshaft seals, they are 20 quid from id workz. And theres no brackets or anything on it, they'll need to be swapped from your pals box. ( If theyre still on it )

Bass bass bass bass, buttery biscuit bass. Sorry, had to...

I paid 100 quid for it + delivery, but open to offers i suppose. In Stirling by the way.
