Thanks for the advice

Bump

Thanks for that I'm amazed that it seems like colour and spec alone determines the price, rather than the actual condition of the car itself. I searched a long time for a a TT at around the price of my car, but I couldn't find one that didn't need another ££££ spent to make it half decent which is why I ended up with this one instead.
-
I'll probably give it a go on there if no one is interested on here/ gumtree. Good advice re-number plate. It's one of those little things I always planned on doing just never did
-
I know, I looked for every way to get around not selling the car, but I just couldn't make it work. It sucks.
-
Trying to save for a deposit, and I have a daily too. So can't really afford to keep it. I haven't had it too long, my "realistic" idea of fuel costs to run it wasn't realistic enough unfortunately. It's just too expensive for me
-
Thanks very much I try to do my best. Yeah I know it's quite high, but that's just to give me room to negotiate with.

Sold
-
If I keep it I'll turbo it. Although I'm seriously considering just selling it and getting a faster car
-
Thank you for that advice. I've stopped using the car as soon as it started, so I don't exacerbate the problem until I find a solution. I will give this a go at the weekend. Thank you

No problem I bought my NA auto last month and it is pretty slow compared to my fiesta ST. Combination of quite a heavy car and long gearing on the box. It looks great, just doesn't go as great as it looks!
-
I'll drain and refill next week then. Keep my fingers crossed that helps
-
This means your overdrive is on. This lowers the gearing - good for the motorway. Switch it off and the light will stay on constantly. You may also find its a bit more responsive
-
When you press the Manu button, L = 1st gear, 2= 2nd gear and D= 3rd gear

'93 j-spec auto N/A I've noticed over the last couple of days that when my engine has been running for a while, I get a really noticeable wirring noise when I turn the wheel but also driving in a straight line and accelerating I get the same buzzy/ wirring noise. The level of fluid was fine. Am I going to need a new pump?
-
As far as i understand it, they aren't a straight swap. If this is wring then someone please correct me, but i'm pretty sure the TT intake has a different pattern for bolting to the head, as the heads are different on the GE and GTE. So you would have to customise it to fit
-
That's pretty impressive to be fair!
-
Yeah i think this is definitely the way forward for me I'm not chasing massive numbers, i just want it to have the performance to match the styling. I'm used to hot hatches, so switching to the supra feels kinda sluggish. Just want a bit more power
-
It's probably safer not knowing! So does XS produce it's own turbo then? I just assumed they used a branded turbo and fabbed their own manifolds etc. Didn't realise they also made the turbo! I may well do that! I have family in Cardiff, so can always use it as an excuse to go up Yeah that makes sense. This is the first time attempting to turbo a car, so i'm just a bit dubious to start buying up parts that end up being wrong/ don't fit. Which is why i was looking at kits. I guess in theory i can always go the kit route, then over time upgrade the parts as and when.
-
Awesome, thank you! I notice in your sig it mentions the Whifbitz NA-T. Are you currently running that? If so, how do you find it, and it it cost you more than you expected?
-
Do you have a ballpark figure of what it's cost you to do? If you don't mind me asking...
