rob_bower Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 why dont you borrow a TPS and see if it makes any difference? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted January 13, 2010 Author Share Posted January 13, 2010 I have skipped over the 14 pages and I will read it one day anyway car looks mint mate love the carbon.GavinCheers Gavin mate!! Gay I want to know this surprise lol.You will just have to wait like everyone else mate You'll know as soon as it arrives lol Wow i actually quite like this build, the colour of your car goes so so well with the carbon stuff, nice one mate.Planning a 4efte transplant? so i didnt read any of the comments lol too much..Cheers mate, and who knows. More than likely not to be honest as its easier to just get a GT/Glanza and its chepear to insure!! But if a 4efte engine came up cheap who knows what will happen lol. what idle issues are you having mate?i some times get weird idle, what it does is i take the car out for a spin idles spot on about 1000 revs when come to a stop and put it in neutral then i stop the car and about 30 mins later i start the car again and my idle drops to 500-600 revs when put it in neutral gets its pretty annoying but i have ran out of ideas bought a new ICV, checked for air leaks etcIts just hunting mate, revs go up and down on idle. Yeah im on the lookout for a new ICV and a new TPS now and hopefully that'll sort it. Theres defiantly no air leaks or anything. More annoying than anything else. Have a good look over for air leaks round the inlet if it "hunting".Also if you still need a clutch I've got a standard exedy replacement you can have cheaps Had my diagnostics guy check for leaks mate. Sprayed fluid around the inlet area while it was running and gave it a few revs etcc.. But didnt appear to be any, ive changed all pipes and everything around that area anyway. Also mate thanks for the offer on the clutch but that seems to be behaving itself for now, if im in need though mate ill give you a shout why dont you borrow a TPS and see if it makes any difference?I would mate but finding someone to borrow me a TPS is a harder task than it sounds!! I might be getting one off a breaker yet hopefully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Right, cars has decided its gonna work properly now Which i am over the moon with!!

Aswell as getting a few minor paint scratches removed. So as of Tuesday she should be looking like new again Still waiting on the 'secret mod' to arrive im not impressed by the service they have provided to be honest and i doubt i will be using them again.

ToyotaTech15 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Looks good mate, really like wheels like that, suits your car perfectlyHow did you get on with the sensors?Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aga Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 i have the same steering wheel. i dont wanna upset you, but its not gonna survive two months... the alcadara will be gone, and all the stitches will come loose and get cut. eventually it will open up like a sausage left in the sun. thats what happened to mine... very poor quality. Momo all the way, for cheap steering wheels, and nardi for more expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Looks good mate, really like it.I had a fake OMP suede in my old yellow motor about 8 months, obviously it started to show signs of wear but no biggie. Stitching etc was all good, then sold it to my mate who had it in his Civic for ages before he crashed it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
