I hope to fuck there is never a starlet in a music video ever again.

Looks lovely mate, is this the 8k9 colour ? Looks darker than the others ive seen.

90* movement means the tension is ok. Let the car idle and spray loads of wd40 around the area. Increase the revs with the throttle body when youre doing this to. The try it with the alternator under load, ie, lights on full beam etc. Check for squealing then.

I think a few of the ones in europe were in the uk at some point. Iamlegends white on for example. And i know man, no light alloys at all.

Looks a lot better than my silver one lol. Clear indicators suit the silver ones perfectly. Glws mate.

I thought it was possibly a german plate, its white front & back. Think german cars are too ?

Fuckin hell man, even if it was a joke, whoever the fuck it was needs put in an asylum or something man.

Thats true actually ^^^ but if a turbo shits itself then normally oil ends up in the exhaust. Worth a shot to clean the exhaust out for 5 quid worth of petrol.

You can check the belt tension by turning/twisting the belt to the side, should go to around 90* Changing it is a piece of piss mate, disconnect the negative battery cable, loosen the long alternator bolt (possibly a bracket to) and pull the alternator torwards you, might need to use a lever/pry bar/ long screwdriver of some sort incase the alternator is wedged in. Then slip the belt off and repeat in reverse order.

Take the exhaust off and pour petrol down it a few times. Then take it for a fucking good blast up a motorway to get rid of the left over shit in the system. If youve ruled out, turbo, rings and stem seals then chances are its oil residue in the exhaust.

I wouldn't give him any cash at all. He is a dirty robbing bastard.

Youre best to stick a long screwdriver to push the release tab on the clip itself, otherwise the clip might snap and you'll end up with an irritating rattle. Pretty sure you can leave the fan box in though.

Is it defo the belt ? I had this noise today when i was checking the car over again and i found it to be the alternator itself making the noise. Just replace the belt, chances are its been on for a long while anyway. Plus i think theyre about 7 quid. Peace of mind incase it snaps on you as it also runs the waterpump.

The way the pics are taken, it looks like you very hinding behind a bush lol.

To remove the actual dash, theres a bolt behind the time clock, one behind the instrument cluster ane one either side of the car. Then theres four pink push clips that run along the bottom of the window.

Wouldnt hold your breath ^^ I dont think he knows/cares who he owes money to. Seriously, hes selling coilovers to repay us all, or to clear his paypal debts and keep the rest of the money to himself.... Trickey one.

I used Falkirk car couriers to move my GT. Worked out 50p per mile iirc. They were ok.

What spec GT are you looking for ?

Id like to pop up to this, i need to speak to Russ too.

Good stuff man, do you think you'll be ready for a meet in June ? Gonna fire a post up in a few weeks time. Bad news on the civic, K20s are not cheap :/

You'll enjoy it, then regret it. Fact. JDM 98 looks to be the best of the lot if you are serious about buying one.

Corsa B. Badboi bonnet. FFS !! This is in N.I or Ireland iirc.

I just got a quote from elephant through go compare. Was very reasonable Just for comparison, 1137 upfront for a GT, TPFT, 19 years old, parents as named, me as main, 0ncb, in a low area postcode. Boom. You should defo check them out Amjad

In that case then use all the 98 spec stuff, anyone doing a conversion atm will tell you not to bother mating the looms. Some of the plugs in the interior dont match between the two. Id just strip the shell you got down to nothing and go from there.

Forgot about this topic lol. Nice to see another starlet saved ^^^ Im just trying to get mine ready for a MOT. Few wee bits and and pieces like wire in rear fog light, horn and indiglows fix brakes fit oil pressure switch fit gt trims fix bumper on with spring things seal up decat to exhaust put grille on Then hopefully its all good to go
