My wife occasionally drives my silver Glanza v but only if she has too as she prefers her own car. I've seen the black one about Dundee aswell, Someday I'll make it into the spotted section

Cheers for reply mate, I'll give it a go see if it fits. The locks not seized or hard to operate, if anything it's worn and become fiddly to use. The passenger side is good on the other hand with not getting used so a swap would be ideal.

The drivers door lock in my ep91 Glanza is a bit tired and some times requires abit fiddling to get it to open. The passenger door is very smooth and operates no problem and feels very tight. I'm going to remove the horseshoe clip that holds the lock in and tighten it a bit but I wondered if I can swap the lock from the passengers door onto the drivers door?? Does anyone know if this can be done before I try it??

What's your budget?

I'm looking to sell mine soon mate, Its a 97 Glanza v on a p reg 170.000kmh on shell and 1300 miles on a new forged engine it has 11 mths mot 5 mths tax its ao1 silver with a new ct9 turbo new 6 paddle clutch forged rods and pistons and reg round crank many new parts all new brakes and handbrake cables new plugs and leads and battery, 16" wheels and a spare set of 15" enkie's fitted with a cat and new lambda sensor but comes with a decat. Hks exaust blitz turbo timer, Would accept £2000 for it or I'll advertise it shorty nationally for £2450 Ono. Only selling to start another project let me know of your interested I can send some pictures and more details.

Ha ha as an evo owner I think its god awful and the colour doesn't help. It got the same reaction as here over on the mlr forum. Edit: as mentioned I think its running 600+ hp or something crazy... It's got a very wide track aswell looks like 9.5 or 10" wide wheels.

My glanza's mot'd and on the road but I'm working Saturday nite so will miss this looks good too Would have brought the Evo and Glanza both like getting their picture took

Yea cheers for that dude, I'm familiar with both them places from my Subaru days. Ill nip thru to checkpoint garage in Arbroath with it or Wallace performance in Aberdeen but that's a good bit further. It's back in for mot tomorrow the emissions are "better" I've fitted the cat and ill inform them it doesn't need a full car test...... Maybe test a car nearby that's 15 yrs younger Should be ok hoping it passes and I can get out in it. I'll be able to drive it thru to Arbroath to get the boost issue sorted once its mot'd and I swap the insurance from Evo. Snows coming so that's it off road till April now

What group or page is it? I'll have a look

When and where? I've not heard of anything going on

Gbr Motorsport is no longer trading, spoke to the lad today who was very helpful. He informed me that he was working full time for toyota and didn't do any other work .

Cheers fella Just looked them up on the net cheers for thatm,ill give them a ring tomorrow they would be the obvious choice given their knowledge with the starlets and probably a bit closer to me Never knew about them cheers ;)

Bump.. Can anybody spare an hour or two this week to have a quick look over my Glanza? I'll be fitting a new abs pump on Wednesday and I just need to get it boosting properly to get it back in for its mot. Also can anybody get me a link I can print out for the mot station re: emissions tests for 4efte engines. Thanks in advance

From what I know its its got a ct9 turbo a sard fpr the filters been relocated and that's about it I think. It's also got forged pistons and rods and a new crank. It was fitted with a decat but since fitting the cat it seems to run slightly better?? The problem persists in every gear at 4000rpm just as its coming on full boost, I'm a panelbeater to trade so slightly out my depth after checking all the obvious things fuel pressure and the waste gate actuator. The turbos brand new and the waste gate seems to be working on the actuator arm. I was unsure it needed it an uprated fuel pump but the tune up guy adjusted the fuel pressure back down to 2.5bar and it seems to be getting enough fuel. I don't have the oem pressure regulator. I think once the boost issue is sorted it should pass ok. The tune up guy measured the temp of the cat it was 300* @ the lambda but only 200* at the bottom end of the cat he said it needs to be an even 300* to function properly. Think I've seen this before do you have a link I can print off for the mot station??

There's obviously ££ in this for someone to get it sorted or at least diagnose the fault. I'm not expecting anybody to spend time if there's nothing in it for them. I wouldn't

Ha ha cheers for that but ment to say in original post that wasn't an option!! I'm sure my mot station will pass it on the day but when I handed it in after fixing many faults it was running like a bag of nails, the on boost issue, I rekon they've took it to get it hot for the fast idle test and it's not been running rite. The lad I'm dealing with is good and says give it a tune and bring it back. I've since tried to get it at least boosting co distantly but it bogs down like a 2 stroke engine at 4000rpm no matter what I do. I'm gonna stay loyal to my mot station I've had many cars in before every one been decated or fitted with dangerous aftermarket spoilers that may harm pedestrians Or non standard hid kits and they've always been good with me. I'm gonna make the effort and get this sorted. It's my winter runaround so want it as reliable as possible and not chasing performance figures. Just want it running rite

I'm looking for some help to get my car thru an mot. I've done a tonne of work to it including fitting all new brakes a new temp sensor and wiring a new lammda and wiring and also oil pressure switch and wiring. I've fitted a cat, a new radiator and I've relocated the filter. It's also had new plugs and plug leads and a new coil lead, and a working pcv valve fitted. My problem is the car has failed the fast idle test (only just) its 0.4 and needs to be 0.3 to pass, I had my local mobile tune up guy out this morning and he reduced the emissions from 0.5 to 0.4. He said that the lamda is working and speaking to the ecu controlling the fueling but he couldn't lower the emissions any more as the ecu was working against him, the adjustments he made, made no difference to the co2 output. The lamda and the hydrocarbons are fine suggesting the cat is not working properly. I'm not overly bothered about this as it's literally only just out. The car doesn't boost properly either it stops making power at 4000rpm or above, it seems to boost from 2700-4000rpm then looses boost and coughs and splutters I've adjusted the fuel pressure up and down on the fpr, it's currently 2.5 bar I've also adjusted the boost on the actuator which has had little or no affect overall. It seems to be boosting between 0.5bar-0.9bar on the gauge,it goes very well when cold and very well when hot and goes well off boost but acts as if its got a boost leak somewhere but it doesn't sound like its leaking boost, I'm now struggling to work out what's wrong. The cars been off road for near 3 yrs and there's approx 20 miles on a brand new built engine its had new pistons crank and rods. Because it won't boost properly I can't get a good run in it to get any sort of decent heat in the cat. I'm about to fit a new knock sensor as soon as it arrives, got a flash code this morning (no 52) knock sensor. Is there anybody local willing to have a look for me? I've got plenty tools and a dry garage and would appreciate help from someone with a little more knowledge than myself. Failing that ill need to trailer it or tow it to my local tuner checkpoint garage in Arbroath as its not taxed or mot'd yet.

I viewed this car for nick weeks ago I foned the advert arranged a viewing while nick was on holiday abroad met the guy in a carpark in Dundee after contacting him through Pistonheads. He met me no probs I viewed the car and there was no sign of nicks emu. I was willing to take it off him there and then but it wasn't fitted to the car. Iirc he said it was running 230bhp and was using a manual boost control of some sort with an afr gauge on the pillar. It was defo him and it was defo the right car but no sign of the emu unit. I've been doing something about it just not shouting idle threats about it on here. If the ecu was in his car the day I viewed it in Dundee halfords carpark me and my mate WOULD have retrevied it for nick. Maybe nick can confirm this?? Craig if your reading this you had a lucky escape that day, there's not much i could have or would have done as you never ripped me. But I was ready to take the emu had it been there.

Hi Carl, a man of very few words Welcome I'm new too great place for info and parts with some genuine people

Got this done 1st thing this morning. Both headlights were yellow looking, drivers side being the worse. Gave both the headlights a good rub with some 600 paper which removed a lot of dirt and scratches, I then gave it a few passes with some 1200 paper leaving both headlights cloudy looking. I polished both lamps by hand with some farecla g3 compound, this brought them up not to bad but still left a few light scratches. I then used the electric polisher and gave them a couple of passes with some water and g3 compound again which cut the rest of the visable scratches out. Never took any before pictures but both lamps were yellowed, the drivers side was the worst. Here's a couple of pictures of how they look now. Still a few marks but overall I'm happy enough and so should my mot tester be
