According to terraclean the system actually flushes it out the exhaust, so I dont see it being like some additives where it ends up going no where.
Think im gonna give it a whirl on my 200, ill report back what I find
-
Terraclean it's called.
IMO, it's not needed on an engine that's been well maintained.
Yep very true,
but for me my motors had 4 previous owners and is now roughly 15 years old, so I don't rly know how well its been looked after, its got full service history but even with that I can only assume its been looked after :S
Guess I can guage it by asking my MOT man to tell me what my Carbon PPM is
It gets a good thumbs up from the jag owners club http://www.jaguarforum.co.uk/f26/terraclean-highly-recommend-49131.html
I might give this a pop when my motors up and running, will report back

Just watched the wheeler dealers with the Jaguar XK8 where Ed China does an engine decarbonisation and the results looks brilliant:

Does anyone know of any garages that offer this service ? or has anyone had it done ? I am still not overly sold on engine flushes and additives.
-
I am gonna sound like a suckup now, but I wouldnt give any of my cars to anyone else but Ray and Tarras at RT, the level of dedication and attention they put into their work is incredible, they fixed my celica for me when I stupidly creased up the rear quarter and job was perfect.
As Splinter says, pay cheap you get cheap, we dont want to be seeing any celica on barry boys now do we lol.

'Why do you need more power ? Your never going to use it'
'Why do you keep cleaning your car ? whats the point ? its only going to get dirty again'
The list can really go on lol.

RT performance would get that back to brand new for you bud! They look after us CCUK members too, so fi your near London it could be worth a shout
-
I did the same on my Gen 7 bud and thought it was game over, I couldnt give RT Performance a big enough shout out on this one as they fixed mine and you could never tell it had been scraped. I think you should give them a call! Thats if your around the London way anyway, and if not its certainly worth the drive to know your cars in good hands
-
When I changed my filters, the old one looked like it was growing furr lol.
-
I always thought Storm Blue from the Gen7's would look nice on a Gen6
-
had the same dilemma when I sold mine bud so can share the pain! I kept putting it off but eventually just did it and glad I did now! I loved my celica and always will! Just the £ to power ratio was not ideal and felt it was time to move on... I tried the same excuse with the missus but I just got a slap lol.
-
Sounds like we are all going to have to find a friendly garage lol!
-
Ive used Mad Motors for a number of parts when I had my celica, very reliable and they source things normally alot cheaper too! I recommend them
Mention you are part of CCUK too and get a discount -
Take Care of her mate! I shed a manly tear watching her being driven off in but I am so happy she is staying in the club AND gone to a good home!
I will be staying in the club aswell, I tried mingling in other clubs but there is just no club like this one. Ill put a mod thread up on my next car but in the offtopic area I guess and I will still be organising herts meets / tunnel runs too!
-
I love everything about my Gen 7 ... apart from the ECU, its far too restrictive and fussy
-
Thing is with Body kits mate is its sometimes best to pay someone to put them on, you can end up making your motor look like a polished turd! I would recommend RT performance, they look after us celica club folk and if your mini project went wrong you could end up paying more to have it put right again anyway
On the other hand, if you are insistent on giving it a try, then youtube is your friend, I did some fiberglass work on a couple of bits I have in my garage and they turned out really good, but I did spend many many hours studying and practicing and even then I was not happy with it.
-
I get this all the time at work, funnily enough from an Corsa VXR ower, says my T Sport is slow and looks like a rudeboy car and that his stage 1 VXR will dust it anytime of the week....
I just show him this video.... not rly a dusting is it ? lol
-
Yeh to be honest 100 quid is a good price, I normally charge 50-80 depending on how many seized bolts I come across. On a good run 2-3 hours is about right...
I will offer my help if your still looking next year when it warms up, I have had enough of working on cars in the snow rain and cold lol
-
Good call mate, you would've struggled to sell when there are awesome motors like this available for the same money.
I just nearly sicked up in my mouth, still everyone to their own lol.
-
Yeh I know all about the mods not adding to the price bud, if I was to sell it and I got 4500 with the mods on, it would save me the ball ache of taking it all off etc but it wont happen now anyway
Persuaded the missus to let me keep the celica and get a 200sx lol.
My Tsport was my first car, so selling her would be like chopping off a testicle to be honest.
Thanks for all the help guys!
-
Yeh It will be hard finding one that's not been treated like a slag, but there are plenty of tidy Automatics out there, I havent written off the idea of a manual conversion just yet
-
Cheers guys, yeh I expect if I do decided to part with her then I will have to demod and sell on its own.
The reason I am considering it is I want to be 100% sure before I commit to the turbo build I had planned for it, I have asked the missus and my dad to see what they think, but they dont understand either the turbo for the celica or selling it for an older car, which I was suprised about with my Dad considering his history with crazy V8 builds.
So what do my fellow enthusiasts think ? The car I have in question is the Nissan 200SX s14a, A couple of my mates had these a while back and since driving one I have never forgot about it to be honest, my mates was stage 1a, so it had 300BHP at the rear wheel, a ful Apexi exhaust system including decat and mani, coil overs, tracking rods, front mount and so much more, the thing shifted to say the least and it just had so much aggression and feel to it

Hello All,
I never thought this day will come, but I am seriously considering selling my beloved celica on and buying something rear wheel drive and turbo'd, likely be a 200SX.
Anyway the car, Only one owner before me, its a 55 plate, used to belong to the Royal bank of Scotland as a company car, I bought it in 2008/09 from Car Giant with only 29k on the clock, she has now done 67k and has genuine stamps up until 40k, the rest has been done by myself properly following the toyota service guide. The oil has always been kept topped up and changed every 6k miles, sometimes sooner.
The mods I have done are
Apexi N1 custom exhaust
Tanabe Strut Brace
APEX 35 mm lowering springs
HID conversion
AEM CAI
Interior light change to Blue
Short Shifter
ACT HDSS stage 1 clutch
Pioneer AVH 3300BT head unit come with 2 x SD cards and SD card reader
JDM wind deflectors
The car will come also with all original parts + some extras
The reason for selling is that I have reached a dilemma, I have a plan to go turbo with her through SE7EN. but the money spent on a turbo could instead go towards something that is already turbo'd.
Would I be asking too much for £4500 ?
-
No worries bud, They did a couple of my mates cars for them and they said they were brilliant, if your within the area they go to your work place and do it for you

Ahh HIDs, the stupid bulbs everyone should get rid of, I cant stand them, someone driving in the other lane and they blind ya
Just stick some regulars on it
I used to hate this too, but cant beat them, blind the bastards back lol.
They are also great at zapping the people who like using full beams or powerful bulbs in 4x4's *cough* OOPS! *Slips and adjusts the projectors to maximum up pew pew lazerz mode by complete accident*

I dont have a cat lol, but apparantly if anything it helps the cat as it cleans that aswell whilst its shooting out.
If it wrecks my motor then I dont mind, good excuse for a rebuild
