Hi guys, What are the main options for uprating the ignition components? Ideally, I would use Coil-On-Plug but, as I understand it, this will be far more expensive than wasted spark for a very small gain. One of my mates has a Vauxhall coil pack, and I know that some people use the coil pack...

I am currently building my EP85 up and am about to install the heater matrix. My problem is that I have 4 of them and they are all different :S I think one *might* be different due to the "auto" switch on the heater controls, and one *might* be different if it originally came out of an...

Can anybody tell me how to search this site for terms like 'ecu', 'oem', 'jdm', etc ??? These are all useful to search for but for some weird reason, the search feature doesn't like short words...

The DVLA have been selling my details to parking companies for a car I'd sold previously. The V5 was 100% definitely transferred into the new owner's name, but I can not find the small bit of paper they send to confirm this. The Data Protection Act specifically says that, upon request (and...

My driver's side stub axle refuses to come out even after using half a can of WD-40 and going at it with a lump hammer for ages. It won't even pry out from behind either. Any useful advice?

Hi guys, I recently bought a Glanza to restore - it was bought by the previous owner for spares so is missing a few things... I need: Front & Rear Bumpers - White Sideskirts - White Rear Lights - It is a '96 model and I am not 100% sure if the lights all fit the same, but any that fit will do...

Can someone please tell me what the interior wire clips are called? The flat ones that clip into a hole and have the wire taped to it? I snapped most of them getting them out of my EP82, so need to buy a bunch more for my EP85. A link to where I can buy them would be much appreciated too :)...

Hi guys, I have a bootlid that I want to spray. I am relatively new to spraying but am now at a point that I would like to try spraying a bootlid I have customized. The only thing I'm not sure about is how to spray underneath the boot seal (to get a good finish and to help stop it peeling)...

I've got a bit of a legal problem :( and really need some advice A few weeks ago, I was sitting in my friend Nath's passenger seat with a small amount of weed and a police officer turned up out of nowhere (on foot and with his police dog) and very aggressively shouted/demanded we get out the...

Guide: Roof lining removal Whats the best way to remove the roof lining and refit it into another starlet? I've got no idea how the front attaches but the back seems to be held on by a brittle plastic strip going right the way along... Cheers #################### I tried it and it...

My mate's EP82 which is forged and mapped on Link G3 or G4 ECU with a wasted spark ignition system (I think it uses the pickup off the standard dizzy, and then a Vauxhall Corsa coil pack). Unfortunately, the tuner can't get the RPM gauge to work properly - can anybody help? Cheers

Hi, my latest EP82 came with an Emanage Blue (and forged engine, TD04 - smoky and no boost, FMIC, FPR, exhaust, etc). First thing I did was rip off the broken TD04 and replace it with my TD05 kit at 1bar. AMAZING on boost, bit slow and some hesitation off boost. Finally got round to fitting my...

My back end slipped out in the wet the other day and resulted in destroying one of my wheels. If anyone has a single Rota Slipstream 15", or a set for a reasonable price, let me know! I'll be spraying it gold so condition doesn't matter as long as it's not badly kerbed! Cheers

Both of my last 2 EP82s were rammed by SUVs (I.e. what most UK people wrongly call 4x4s) while I was stationary. My insurance has shot up from about 260 to over 400 (I'm 28 with 7 yrs no claims bonus) purely because of these NON-FAULT claims. Admiral (the file handlers in both accidents)...

According to wikipedia: Is this correct because surely this setup on a standalone ECU like a Link G3/G4 would work really well especially since distributors aren't great at high revs? Also it got me wondering if it's possible to have OBD2 on a standalone ECU? I've got a bluetooth obd2 sensor...

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble getting the bolt off the bottom pulleys. Even with the handbrake on full, and in 1st/5th/reverse, my biggest breaker bar still can't shift the bottom pulley bolt - partly because the whole car moves against the chocks. The head is removed and the gearbox is...

Hi, In my newest EP82 (running td05 at 1bar with emanage blue, fpr and uprated fuel pump) there was low compression in cylinder 3 and it was using oil. Figuring it was most likely to be the head gasket, I took the head off finding some pistons that don't look standard. Can anyone identify...
