You found the source of that nasty noise in the Yaris yet?

Not yet, I have been onto BubbleWrap through PM's and he seems to think it's the Alternator belt or the Power Steering belt. It will be getting looked at soon as it has its NCT on the 15th May. No other problems with it so far thankfully, if the noise can be counted as a problem as my Dad heard it on another Yaris so he thinks it could just be the way the engine gets over time.

You're trolling, right???

Of course . I know it's a problem, my dad doesn't think much of it, probably due to it once being his friends car

I have 2-3 small ones on upper part of my doors that were on it when i bough t it. Went to a local place that says they specialize in PDR and they were on about filler and then painting it, i drove off and never looked back

upper half of both doors and back bumper gonna need repray in the summer but the paint match has me sweating

On a plus note im dropping my wheels in for powdercoating at the weekend yay

All mine were there too when I bought it.

What colour are you gonna get the wheels done?

If you have a D/A you possibly needn't worry so much about the colour match.

I'm going to be bold and hope the mods don't see this post but can I ask all of you to have a look and like/share our facebook page please

It seems we've added a 3rd car to the team and we'll be running a car across the 3 classes of ITCC. I might send a mail to Flavio Briatore and see if he's free to run the team along with Quazzie, who is our team manager :pac:

Thanks thought so

Jaypers, real correlation with the gtv, it was marketed as the poor mans ferrari

And it is/was beautiful as well; I nearly bought a Spider last year so have some appreciation. Problem is, a £50k is not a poor man's anything!

Before they changed carzone a year or so back there was a tab called recently added. It made looking through it for new stuff a lot easier. I don't suppose anyone would have the address of it bookmarked by any chance if it still works?

Got the terraclean done this morning.

Best 100 quid ive spent in a long time:D

Engine is much smoother and quieter, no more lumpy idle.
And the revs definately pick up quicker.

I'm going to be doing about 100 miles tomorrow, about half will be on roads where I can really let rip so no mpg figures :P ill report again tomorrow.

Thanks a million MM for setting this up!

If my car is anything to go by, yes its worth it!

I will say though, the engine in my yoke is well known for getting coked up in the egr/dpf, also rough idle seems common. The terraclean has made it much smoother.

Not sure how much other cars will benifit.

If I get time ill whip off the egr on mine on mon, see what it looks like.

I never know what to ask.

Best of luck Stheno. At least you've had the practice. Made a balls of my last interview, was outta practice at them. Drove 90 mins with the car like a fridge so I wouldn't be a ball of sweat in interview and spent the whole interview shivering and jittery like someone ten times as nervous as I was :-(
Go for it, you're obviously good enough to do it, give it your best shot and hope you are the best on the day.

Good luck Stheno. Give them HELL!
