    Ballys 16v

    looks well smart bally!!! what a great example. 8) keep the lights mate, they bring the car right into the millenium. give her a polish and stick some more photos up.
  3. cheers bally. is that yours in the avatar? sitting well low. looks the nuts. they look like a different car when you slam em!
  4. i got a heatshield jim, gonna put it back on 2mrw ive been toying with the idea about the bmw rims like you said on friday darren, unless you sell me your borbets :)
  5. g-master: i dont have a catch tank, need to fit one though, cos im getting spats of oil on the bulkhead. wont pay £80 quid for it though. ill probably use an empty coke can or something. does the same job. i havnt got a filter for the isv yet either. will get 1 of those soon as it dont look great like that. i keep putting things like that off cos im more interested in getting more power. priorities eh?! :) chubby brown: yeah its a kenwood screen but havnt got much more ice. all the speakers have been uprated and ive got a pair of 6x9son a shelf. ive got good crisp sound but lately i have been craving for it to be a bit richer but like i said to g-master id rather spend the money on the engine
  6. yeah it does make the noise but the main function of it is to not let the unused boost go back into the charger because by the time it gets to the inlet it has warmed up, also there are a couple of air breathers conected to the boost return, 1 of them being the 1 on top of the rocker cover, which also spits out a little oil. basically, removing the boost return make boost cooler and more efficient and stops unwanted oil deposits getting into your pipes and charger. do a search on the forum for this and youll find plenty about it. theres pictures on here somewhere aswell.
  7. its been retrimmed. looks standard though
  8. sorry mate, you cant have it! love your mk1 though! heres a pic of my old mk1, i loved that car but sadly an affair witha lampost ended our relationship :cry:
  9. cheers mate, its going quite sweet aswell now thanks to the boys at pitstop/g-werks
  10. finally got round to posting some pics of my corry, so here they are... spec: moonlight blue leather sns green top chip stage 4 charger bahn brenner intercooler pipes very big k&n filter boost return removed by pitstop full supersprint exhaust with cat bypass weitec coilovers
  11. definately mustve been a problem with phones. the guys are always more than willing to help. i was even on the phone to steve on saturday evening when he shouldve been getting ready to go out!! theyre top blokes. by the way, steve, if you read this my car dont do that thing when its cold , seems to get worse when it warms up. does this narrow anything down? getting the fuel filter today and ill see you on friday. bright and early ( i hope, if the m25 behaves itself )
  12. im 22, had my g60 since i was 20. my first car was a mk1 gti. insurance for the corry is 1200 tpft with tescos
  13. yeah but i need to use the car 2mrw night. going gatwick so i need to have it done asap. i hate spending money when its not for bhp :x :x
  14. yeah i know. i think he meant warranty on the part though has any1 fitted a 16v pump to a g60 successfully?
  15. just got off the phone with gsf. they say on the 16v pump 1 of the oil feedscomes straight out and on g60s they face upwards and so he mentoined something bout warranty and the main dealer. can any1 shed any light or is it agsf novice?
  16. sh!$e, cheers kev. looks like i know what im doing this weekend then!
  17. nice 1 andrew. im going to a garage later on today so ill get them to do it. thanks for your help!
  18. get your tracking and camber checked mate, if 1 wheels pulling slightly itll make a noise. what tyres you using? i was running 17s with yokohamas on my mk1 and boy were they noisy.
  19. hi guys my power5 steering pump has been whinning badly during the last week or two.ive just checked and the fluid is a bit low and its got bubbles in it (hasnt been changed for a while) does any1 know if a fluid change will sort out the whinning or is it new pump time? power steering still works! also, does any1 know how much a new pump is just in case? ive heard theyre about 200 quid. is this true? any help will be appreciated
  20. hi guys. dunno if this helps alarming but my g60 has dead locks. when the car is locked you hear the pumps then about 30 seconds later you hear them a second time. after the second time no matter how hard you pull the door pins will not come up until either the key or remote is used. dont know if this is a standard thing but the car is a late k-reg if it helps
  21. red 16v with reiger kit on the a406 near ikea on my way to work sometimes. nice car!
  22. you can make your own set up if you got the time and patience. i hear a citroen xsara diesel intercooler fits as its quite thin but these are only rumours. ive never checked it out. ptstop do a kit 4 around 500 notes, im down there on monday so will check it out. good thing bout this kit is that it is tailored to the corry so there is no cutting or welding to be done. i got a nissan gtir calsonic intercooler while i was on holiday last year but never got round to fitting it cos i have to trim the front panel, make the pipes, relocate the inlet/outlets of the intercooler itself, make mounting brackets and and turn the battery round. all this so i could save a few bucks! still wouldve cost me bout £350 plus what i paid for the intercooler. works out roughly the same price wise. lot less hassle though.
