Thought I'd post this up incase anyone needed to know how to do this. My car had developed a small misfire recently and was feeling quite sluggish so i decided to buy the following: 1. NGK Iridium heat 6 Spark plugs (4) 2. Distributor cap and rotor arm 3. Magnecor 8-series Blue HT leads And...

I need to order some new discs and pads all round for my 1993 GT. How do I know if i have an abs model? Its never kicked in, but then again I dont think ive been in a situation where it would have to. And please, no "Gun it down the road and slam on" comments ;) as my brakes are so shafted...

The spoked piece of metal in mine has snapped and need a replacement. Need on in very good condition, either off GT or Glanza. Either the spoked piece from inside, or a whole ICV. Thanks

Are these only available from main dealers new? Looked on camskill's website and they dont list it. I bet toyota want £100+ for one too. Anyone bought one from somewhere in new condition other than main dealer? prices? All I need it the piece inside so im not forking out big bucks for...

Ok ive had some issues with low idling for a few days, decided after doing a search on here to take off ICV and give it a damn good clean. Removed the wire connector from front of the valve Undone the two 10mm bolts holding it on Pulled the ICV off the inlet manifold and disconnected the...

Yet another small problem with my GT. Idles perfectly at 900rpm, when sat at lights or braking down to lights my idle drops to under 500rpm. When I release the brake pedal the revs go back up to 900rpm. When I have lights on, wipers etc.. its even worse (More drain on engine) I was...

Does anyone on here know much about these cars? A local garage is selling this one, thought I might go and have a butchers at it...

If i hold my hand over the holes where pressure should be released from my BOV its sucking in air?! My high idle drops to 900rpm when I do this, let go and it goes back up! Actuator/wastegate shagged? The BOV's brand new, all pipes new

Ok ive been having boost leak problems for a few weeks, basically changed all vac piping etc and new BOV. But still not dumping and high idle (1500-2000rpm) Was looking at it today on my lunch break and noticed that if i block up the BOV the idle drops back down to bang on 900rpm :confused...

Turbo vacuum hoses HELP! I just fitted my new dump valve and its still not dumping. Im about to go and buy some 7.5mm fuel hose to replace them, and the clips, are there any I cant easily access? Theres the ones running from BOV to the sensor over the cambelt cover, and two down by the...

Bit of a random one but - My brother was helping his mate on the weekend to buy a new bike and found an MV Agusta F4 1078 for sale locally (Near Cardiff, Wales) with only 500miles on the clock going for £14,000 in the local newspaper so he rang the guy to see where is was for him to go and look...

Hi there, Had some issues with my dump valve recently. I removed some boost pipes and double checked all of them, smoothing out kinks and making sure connections were all ok and clips in place. I have a Baileys single piston Dump valve, like this How long would a dump valve last...

Had this problem for the past fortnight or so. When sat at lights, on my driveway etc with engine running I seem to be able to smell petrol in the cabin of the car. Doesnt matter if my air vents are open or not. Does anyone know of a sort of 'checklist' of causes for this? Thanks

Hi there About a month ago I fitted an induction kit to my 93 GT, but I didnt like the wastegate flutter sound coming from it. Its seemed to replace my dump valve pssssssh noise. So I removed it last night and fitted my standard airbox and k+n panel filter back on, took it for a spin just...

Right I fitted an induction kit where the standard airbox is located and since then I get a loud 'clunk' when i come off the accelerator. Ive also noticed that my dump valve sometimes dumps, and then other times i get the chatter through the filter. Is this common? Sometimes its one clunk and...

Hi there, Both my CV joints have been clicking like a morse code operator on speed since I got the car and wondered how I identify the correct CV joints to order? Mechanic in work said you have to take em out, but I wondered if anyone on here may know straight off the top of their head...

Hi guys, Im just about to pop down to motorworld to get an induction filter for my 1993 GT. Im eventually going to relocate it to the front but for now Im going to replace the standard airbox with it. How big is the diameter of the standard EFi pipe at airbox join so that I can just...

Hi guys, I have a 1993 GT with air con removed. (Wish I hadnt cos of this weather but hey - never needed a/c before now so) Im getting serious heat 'wafting' out of the bonnet vent and I dont think the standard TMIC is cooling very well. Im in the process of buying an air filter relocation...

What is the purpose of this setting on the turbo? Only recently joined the starlet club and since my re-build (didnt drive it before engine work) I just drive about on Hi mode. Am I supposed to have it on certain settings depending on temperature of oil/driving characteristics etc...? Just...
