I'm switching to a civic half rad soon and am looking at getting a glanza expansion tank. Does anyone know if they are a direct fit into an NA? And does anyone have any pics of the fixing points? Cheers Jase

And be careful lol the parts soon add up- I've spent a small fortune on mine and it looks barely any different but I guess the aim with mine. Good brakes is where the expense starts! Plus I now have a joint account with my wife so all the sneaky spending has stopped :/ spent 14k just on parts for the gt4!

V nice

welcome mate. i'm not a million miles away in Andover.

PM'D ref rocker and catch can

Looks fantastic mate defo slacking with mine at the min. Quite like the wheels too now they're on

Just takes time mate must have taken me about 5 months to peice it together as the door cards seem to be the hardest to come by. I bought it all separately over time. The steering wheel was also difficult to come by but pretty cheap when they come up. Most of it was looking who had 98spec cars and asking if they had any parts laying around. Got a few bits from my old ep95 as I knew it had been upgraded to 98 but jack was stripping it down. Corolla mani's are easy to find- plenty of the right corollas breaking on eBay but they're getting wise to us wanting them so are hiking the prices up :/ I just want the support bracket as Ive currently made my own- last quote I got was £20 + postage for a small peice of metal! Ha this is like talking to myself- I'm honestly the same. Owned quite a few nice cars over the years but I just seem to be over the top with this one. We own a mk5 gt tdi so use that for most things so the mileage tends to stay low on the starlet

You don't want one that's too nice otherwise you want want to use it ha ha. Mine was meant to be just a run about and all I do is bloody polish it relentlessly!

Lovely little touches on this. Was the 5e exhaust set up a direct fit?

Ah brilliant as too many low mileage examples have had a tough life, people are beginning to save them now though. Your plans are v similar to mine then ha ha, the 98 interior makes a big difference inside, just need to do the boot on mine now. Corolla mani is a nice mod and if you need to know anything just let me know. Mines just below 65k now so not too bad at all. It's our second little car and only gets used now and again which is nice

Also know what you mean by the lack of power but they've got bags of character and with a few little mods under the skin they handle really well. The stock brakes are pants though

Welcome mate- needless to say I'm a massive fan of this and you are probably the luckiest guy on here ha ha! Please tell me you're keeping it original? How's the bodywork? I think the prices of these will be on the up soon, just they haven't got a ford badge on otherwise they'd be worth silly money.

Ah pleased it's all sorted then mate

Go for the whole rally look and do the wheels white

Dale- yeh there aren't many about and I just couldn't refuse mine. I always liked the idea of having number one but in the end it was only for bragging rights. I felt like I couldn't modify it in any way though which is pants. Mind you I'm massively OCD with the starlet lol think it's the worst I've been with a car ha ha. Mart- I know where there's a v clean auto gt but not sure if he'd sell it. Def go for a gt or v as you know a bit about them. As you said, the mk1 mx5's a really bad for rust and good ones are already commanding high prices.

Oh yeh ha ha. It's not fitted yet as I'm going half rad so I'm going to wait

Ooo interested to see how it turns out mate

Who did you buy it from mate?

Mate that fitment is shocking have you been In touch the company?

Get an SR Mart! Yeh it was a lovely car but I hated it being dirty or putting miles on ha ha but that's just like every car I own I guess. It's on the SR thread. Ah right the one on the left looks lower. Yeh def put the splitter on the other car until you come across an original one for the low mileage car. To be honest I paid too much for mine but really wanted it so hay ho. Makes the car pretty rare now

Looking awesome mate. What suspension does the non standard car have? I know what you mean about not wanting to use it, I had number 1 of 100 Impreza gb270 wagons and I felt exactly the same. I wouldn't put the splitter on hat car mate, maybe on the non standard car though

Hmmm bet I'd have to trim them for the speedlines :/

Thanks just need the wheels doing but can't afford it at the min. Floods?! Blimey. I always worry about stuff like that happening over night.

Cleaned the car yesterday, it pissed with rain 10 mins later :/
