    http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/220537042109?nav=SEARCH sorry only just seen the question.the answer is its this one.and they are brilliant.
  3. you have to drill out to holes in top of chassis at back.realy easy to do. they have to line up parallel with the chassis when cars on floor.u cant go wrong
  4. really not hard...I didnt even have to remove rear bumper.
  5. had my car 3d aligned including the rear camber I fabricated. I run 2° front camber and 2° rear camber. I forgot the front toe but can find out and let u know. my car handles extremely well as I managed to corner weight it after the alignment. I added 20kgs of weight in rear also and ended up with 55/45 rear distribution with half a tank of fuel. rear anti roll bar also makes a nice difference. the rear of the car sits very slightly lower than front also.
  6. thanks so much.ure feedback for me is much appreciated. thanks and all the best to you sir. and yeah.. I did get a bit excited with the wrapping haha.

  8. yes thats the only option for a guaranteed quality rebuild.the blokes a genius and turn arounds always real quick. mine used to smoke well badly and totally 100% stopped after rebuild. wish I had just done that first of all instead of taking a punt at multiple purchases of " good condition ct9 turbos". THEY DONT EXIST UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN RECENTLY PROFFESSIONALLY REBUILT. heres a link on my build thread of before and after.

    they dont work.i paid 190 quid for one brand new. red the instructions and followed setup etc etc and it just kept over boosting continuously. now I have a high quality mbc that cost 19.99 and its perfect and hits same boost each and every time.put me right of buying any ebc. mbc may not be as efficient as ebcs but they work consistently and dont break.
  10. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/forum/134-sales-feedback/ thats great mate.could u please write me a positive feedback in this section. put title as "positive feedback mikey4410"

    just do not buy a gizzmo.what a waste of money
  12. haha colin I cant help but keep her looking well, dont try tell me ure not the same.;-)
  13. as i say dailydriver and no oil comes out.u dont ever really "need" a catch can whatsoever.
  14. two simple 90degree elbows to atmosphere. ... simple
  15. ↑↑ thats nonsense. a healthy engine will not put a drop of oil or crap anywere whatsoever out a 90degree elbow converted and removed pcv. been running with " to atmosphere" short breather for 8 months daily and never seen a peep of oil.
  16. lovely new shell u have there.sorry to see ure accident. on the plus side that topmount mani and turbo look so nice.best of luck with your build. :-D
  17. ahh thats very very kind words there.thanks alot. yeah it is a very clean car underneath (no rust and undersealed) and paint wise (always washed& waxed )look after her like mad. appreciate the words ;-)
  18. well thanks for advice. much appreciated. will have a play wen get paid next. :-D
  19. I have read quite a few times that 4k is around right for a bar on a td04L ?? by "tweaking" u mean a proper tune/map on a piggyback etc ? .
  20. so went out tonight and went into london for a drive and sight see with a mate of mine. setup my fueling on the way there and back and its happily setup to 11.1 WOT . boost is set at 0.94 bar and hits it each and every time in third gear.left it at that as it allows for any over boosting etc and is safer. will prob check it again in next few days just to confirm and then will sell the gauge I think. the difference is huge power wise.pulls like a slut and goes really really well. but FULL boost doesnt come in until 4,200 rpm but I dont mind.im happy.
  21. yeah I have had ct9, ct9 hybrid, and td04L and the most fun is td04. the best usable one is by far hybrid ct9. but that being said I haven't ever driven a properly tuned setup td04 starlet with a map and ebc.... I have heard it makes huge difference.
  22. ok thats good to know that there are ebcs that do work out there.i will consider getting one defo.cheers for advice yeah I heard alot of crappy stuff about them and wouldnt ever get one again now. glad ure progressing well with it. best of luck and all the best to you sir. :-D
  23. I think I will because of the lag in comparison. but I do miss the kick in the nuts the td04L gives.miss it bad.......... and nope I just run a mbc as I have only ever had a gizzmo boost controller which cost me alot of money and it was shit and didnt work. its put me right of them.mbc dont go wrong. hows u monster build goin socks ??
