Videos from Manchester micro Meet: Celica GT4, 420 Turbo and V6 Mondeo

:o I'm flattered, lol. I didn't expect to get so many good comments about my car.

They're much appreciated anyway :)

It's only running around 7-8psi at the moment so the turbo spool sounds quite 'calm' to how it would at 12psi. Hopefully, when I get the gearbox swapped tomorrow, I'll be able to increase the boost again and have some more fun with it.

Can't believe I've owned the car for 8 months and I'm not bored with it yet. Still LOTS of work to do!

The gearbox has a leaky driveshaft seal, which means that all my lovely gearbox oil drips straight out onto the hot exhaust. I've already replaced the seal once but with the bearings in the differential being as knackered as they are, must push the driveshaft in and out creating a gap for the oil to escape.

Gotta say though, that was the worst I've ever seen it and was actually quite worried :eek:

It's going in the garage tomorrow for a gearbox swap and then I can get the Torsen box (currently fitted) rebuilt :)

Ooooo sounds nasty. In the video when you said about smoke I was thinking what smoke and then you see the side of the car and its whoa that smoke.
 
lol, I know... it was just an endless stream of the stuff.

Still, at least it's something that will get sorted. It's my own fault anyway... I knew all about the dangers of using full boost in 1st gear, and what do I go and do... use full boost in 1st gear.

It's done well to last this long though :)

You'll have to excuse my speech though. I'm not terribly fond of talking on camera because of my stutter.

Don't worry man you only stuttered once or twice :) No one thinks any different of you because of your stutter anyway, it's just you. Besides, what else could we have a laugh about, bar the rover.....and your height.......oh wait, nevermind :D :p

Even if it was producing 12psi, you'd still pull away from me... there's just no way I could go 'all out' on those roads... my car just gets too twitchy over the bumps. I think I got air on the way down.
 
The Mondy sounds sweet rG-tom, makes me want to get my ST24 sorted even more now :D

Roads look pretty sweet too, wouldn't mind chucking the Ninja around those.

Scort.
