-
thanks mate
-
Yes mate. TRD seem to be the worst for failing. Anybody rebuild these coilovers before??
-
Hey all, I am looking at a set of coliovers that are leaking in the rear. The set of coilovers in question have a common fault for leaking even though they are a well known brand name.
Anyway, is there anywhere here in the UK that rebuilts coilovers?
-
Look on the bright side mate, you have a job.
I am in a situation where I have a BSc degree and I am fresh out of college with no job or money.
-
More pics tomorrow peeps!! I need to upload loads more!
-
WOW, its been ages since i updated this!!!
So I guess I better fill ye in!!
So this is where she was:
Looking all dirty and slaggy!!!!
So I needed to finish the exterior a wee bit!!
So i got this!
and this!
And I retrimmed the rear parcel shelf in letterette!
I also managed to pick up a set of OZ alloys for dirt cheap because one is severly damaged.
But I am only using them because this had to happen!!
I noticed a load of oil was showing up in the engine bay and when i inspected it there was an oil leak!! But I had no idea where it was so I had to remove the whole engine!
Here are some pics;
All the oil was on the driver side and was been spread around the engine bay by the belts, so i knew it was probaly the sump.
All the gunky oil
And engine at its final destination!!
Car is laid to rest on blocks!!

Hey all,
Just wondering if the seats from an ep91 will fit an ep70 and visa versa?? i know an ep82 will fit an ep91 but am unsure of the ep70.
Thanks,
Alan

Nice base to start with. i recommend you try and source the optional splitter kit. looks a treat!!!!!
-
Nah not yet mate
Yea but my car aint dub lol so shouldnt scrub
lol!!!
-
sure as VW fans say: If she aint rubbin, you aint V dubbin!! looks good mate. Did you get the inlet mani on yet??
-
@ everyone else. thanks for the kind replys!
-
Looks like its jacked up by the axle so the suspension wont hang down Muddyell
White slipstreams or Grids would look awsome ;)
Ye correct mate, it was jacked up by the axle. Was thinking about grids. i think they would also suit it or else i was thinking of getting the starlet sr alloys and painting them white.
-
thanks mate. I want to get a set of 15" rota slipstreams in white but with having no job i have to wait Before that though a nice set of coilovers will set her off nicely!!
-
Since i wrote of my glanza S i had to get another starlet. This time i went for turbo power!!!
Her are some pics the seller sent me:
bought it in March 2007 in this rare and unique blue colour. Itâ??s a Fiat blue that you find on the c**ttogetinto!!
Here are the sellers pics:
When i got her, the first things i done to her were:
-romove the tints in the front.
-remove all the small stickers.
-I put origional mats in.
-I put the origional gear knob and gator in.
-Changed the thermostat.
-service, including putting in the trd leads.
Here are the pics of my Glanza and my mates red Twimcam!
Current mods:
Induction kit (unknown)
Racing clutch (unknown)
Hks Turbo timer
Black diamond drilled and grooved disks and pads.
Lowered 35 mm on apexi springs
Bee sting ariel
Reiger front and rear splitter
Painted blue from glanza silver.
Wolfrace alloys (not too sure of the type, but they have to go!!!)
Plans for the next 6 months:
Clear indicators( being put on monday)
New carpet and colour it blue like the new teg R's.
Coilovers
Panhard
Front and rear anti roll bars
Actuator and fcd
New alloys (maybe white)
Trd leads (sitting at home to be fitted)
So this is where i am so far with my Glanza. At the moment i am waiting for the weather to get a bit better so i can add my backbox and make her look a bit better than the little pipe it has on her at the moment.(Just found out it has a 2.5 inch cat back system!!) I also fitted the standard rear bumper yesterday after spraying it for less than 20 euro!!! I also got new carpet from a seller on here. Future plans is definatly to get a fmic, and i should hopefully be getting this in the coming month. Enjoy the pics and i will hopefully get interior and engine ones when the weather gets better here.

my drilled + grooved brakes!
when she was clean!!
Just a wee update and to keep ye up to date. Since the scumbags tried to rob the car about 2 weeks ago i went out and bought these few pieces:
In the meantime i took part in Toby's group buy and got myself the autobann 88 FMIC. I received the kit just friday gone and i set about putting it on sunday. A major thanks to one of the guys Ian who gave me a loan of his tool set and to Derek for lending me his jigsaw!! All in all it took me about 4 hours to put the kit on. i didnt run into any major troubles at all. The only bad thing about this kit is the removal of the crash bar, but i rang my dad at home and we have some ideas to sort this. the basic plan is to make some brackets and bring the crash bar forward so the FMIC sits behind it just like the wepr.
I also have one other fault with the kit, and that is where the pipe on the kit runs right over the manifold and in my opinion defeating the point of having the kit. Have a look for yourself:
Anyway i think the car looks better and it should be making a difference, even though i havent drove the car properly yet. enjoy the pics!!!
The kit and the lads after the night on the tear!!
putting it on (about 2-3 hours through)

The bumper after trimming
the final result!!
i finally got around to doing some of the niggly bits that needed doing. i got my new fogs fitted. i fixed the passenger side lock by smothing over it, it looks well now. i also treated it to some new oil and a filter along with a wash!!!
Spec so far:
Hks ssqv
Khs turbo timer
Apexi boost gauge
Hks actuator
Jam fcc
Hks sld
clear indicators all round
rear light lenses
2.5" exhaust system
lower 35mm on standard shocks and uprated springs
optional rear lip (still in garage!!)
Bee sting ariel
front mount intercooler
gt gearbox with diff
