  1. in that case you will have to do what i did with the skyline as the previous owner chose to not do it. type vic test into google and fill out the form and then pay the required monies, they give you a date and time and then head down with the car, i believe the car will then have to be retested.
  2. my advice is avoid, mine came with one unfitted and i toyed with the idea of getting a nice cheap bhp increase, however i turned up at a local tuning company for a T piece. He had a 450bhp GTI R sat out front that hadnt moved for a while and when i queried why this was his response. Fitted a blitz in car boost controller ( more expensive than manual) and after fitting my stage 2 turbo took it for a spin with a slight increase in boost. turned around and booted it and it spiked to 1.8bar. his turbo went bang as did the head on the engine. I turned around and went him and binned my manual controller. If you want something doing do it right, £15 for the sake of 40-60bhp sounds great on paper, but is it worth £1200 + for the sake of a new engine and turbo.
  3. as said above how much is the told postage
  4. my skyline is a cat c, make sure its Vic tested or you will end up having to pay £40 to get vosa to check the vin plates before they will release the v5
  5. Ill have mine back for then :)
  6. Martin had forgotten it was a family bday and states HE WILL remember for next month.
  7. isnt that the idle control ? ive just had this problem with the skyline, its pre obd 2 but uses a system called Consult, even the obd2-1 cable didnt work. However depending on the adapter and software (app) used is depending on if it will connect to the given car. I payed £4 for a Vgate one and £2 for the Torque Pro app, so far ive tested the following Vehicles: Ford Focus ST2 Vauxhall Corsa SXI+ Skyline (Failed) Subaru Impreza 99 Seat Altea If its the Maf thats causing it uplug the maf while the engines running and if it doesnt cut out its a maf Fault.
  8. 2.5 are as quoted by martin " made of chocolate ":) after a remap mine could comfortably get 35mpg @280bhp however due to the pests (corsa VXR drivers) i found 25 was basically what i was getting. and even as low as 15mpg :) Services arnt too bad, however spark plug changes are an engine lift job and as such are best done with a full service, most places charge around £300 plus for a full service, you can only run Scoobys on 97Ron plus fuel or expect trouble down the line unless you get it mapped for it, and im afraid if your into cheap oils and filter these arnt the cars to be using. Hope this helps :)
  9. i would say you have more chance of growing your own gold than hearing back from this quick buck guy.
  10. dont suppose you have a newage STI top mount if so dibs :)
  11. just in time for the warm weather :) welcome
  12. when was the last time it was serviced, and whats the current mileage ? has it had a rebuild and is it down on power ?, cause the video is short in length its hard to tell, but could be just very noisy tappets which classics are known for or worst case it could be the crank, and it got noisy just as the revs where dropping.
  13. and nice and warm for once :) hoping my scooby is not in so many pieces ;)
  14. cheers guys, its for my mate as hes wanting to join the dark side of turbo :)
  15. once in the old days i used to have some competition subs, a small stone hit the screen and i was literally on the way to those free guys on the parking lots that add resin and boom was a full blown spider web haha.
  16. Ford fiesta zetec s in imperial blue. The current mileage is 119561. It has MOT til September and is taxed til the end of march. As you can see from the pictures it's had quite a bit of work done since I've owned it. Modifications are as follows: Gmax lowering springs 35mm front 40mm rear 1.7 puma engine 4-2-1 sportex manifold heat wrapped Magnet system with cobra back box Been mapped by puma speed De-tangoed headlights also fly eyed 6000k HID kit Air filter Puma gear knob Ford printed matts Sparco pedals Gel overlays all round Escort RS turbo seats TRS 4 point harnesses Omex rev limiter and launch control Sony head unit Smoked rear lights ST24 alloys in a custom grey with pink lip Toyo proxy 4 tyres all round 12.5 mm axle spacers on rear Power flex bushes on rear RS turbo arches and skirts kit I have some chrome plates which go on the door sills which will be included. It is still registered as a 1.6 on the log book so it would be up to the buyer Ito change if he/she wanted too. Also as it has RS turbo seats in it the air bag light comes on, on the dash as the seats have now electrics like the standard ones. That's everything I can think of but I could have missed something. There is some bad points , the speedo doesn't work but hasn't bothered me, fog lights on the front don't work as the puma loom is different to the fiesta just need wiring in. Paint has lifted below one of the rear lights and there is a slight crack at the bottom of the rear passenger arch, as always with fords there is a slight bit of rust at the bottom of the drivers door again never bothered me. Apart from that it drives spot on and is a nippy little car. The Private reg doesn't come with the car and it will be put back to original registration. The car will come with subs. Selling on behalf of a friend. £800
  17. will be fine, but will chuck up your eml light
  18. yeah, only reason i ended up doing mine is found the kid who had done the rebuild on it had mixed A+B pistons.
  19. just remap the TD04 and use that for a while :) 270+ is still good in an impreza
  20. straight swap as in the least mods ? if so just get a hybrid TD04 they are good for 320 and relatively cheap new and second hand.
  21. depends on what your going for, show car then fair enough but as matt said they weigh an absolute tonne :/
