But ive never regretted anything ive bought, even tho ive left my self more than short .Lookin forward to the next update Quote
RicoW Posted February 7, 2009 Author Posted February 7, 2009 just been thrown out @ my job... economical crisis all over I guess ;)so not that many updates this month...but hope to do a few major updates before taking it on holliday to italy like: stainless exhaust (wouldn't cost that much, already have a Kakimoto backbox with the bent over the rear axle:)) Front mount intercooler (would be good @ summer temperatures in Italy) White line adj. rear swaybar (loooooved the handling of my previous ep71)thnx for the compliments!

RicoW Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 A few not so good updates:turbo seals died 2 weeks ago... Replacement is already here! (THNX Boostjunkie )an emanage that's just doing nothing (check my topic in EMS section)one good update: turned back the fuel pressure to stock, it was on 3,5 bar and I'm still on stock boost... So its running MUCH better now Quote
BoostJunkie Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 no problem rico mate as you know always willing to help Quote
RicoW Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 still no updates on the turbo, as I'm waiting for my HDI intercooler picked op a set 16'' today, they are for my missus ep81, but I like them on my glanza too...they need a good clean though Quote
kevink Posted March 14, 2009 Posted March 14, 2009 they look good on the V Rico!and damn that backend is LOW! Quote
RicoW Posted March 14, 2009 Author Posted March 14, 2009 I don't know why, But every starlet that I have lowered (about 6 times) was the back end lower then in front...can't get a finger in the arch on the V atm Quote
