Looks like cars coming along nicely since I saw you at Santa Pod mate. Love the p1s I had a matte black set on my old glanza suit it so well. How’s the clutch holding out by the way?

Any link for the fibreglass replica lips? 

Idworkz dont do them any more, i was lucky enough to get hold of their last one after a few emails, try get hold of a genuine one dude, one i have was a poor mould and has taken a lot of chopping about to get fitting right and is still at the body shop 

Got my hands on a genuine OEM rear lip and arrived in the post today, just for a trip to the spray shop now 

Also picked up @Gainzy's freshly painted cam cover, pictures dont do it any justice, looks awsome in person ! Had a chat and was good to finally meet another member.

also got myself a steering wheel, just waiting for the boss to come in post after ordering the wrong one before 

Time for an update, been slacking ! 

After having an id workz oem front lip sat in the box in my bedroom for 3 months, finally decided to sort it out and take it to be chopped about to fit properly and for a spray, just waiting for it to be bonded on

*fitted pics to follow* 

Also got hold of a genuine oem rear lip which is currently in the post

Seen this in person the other day, it's a clean one for sure!

Thanks dude ! Was good to see you, ive got quite a few bits waiting around to be put on along with your awsome cam cover, will get some pics and update this soon 

It changed owners a few times after john

my cousin bought it off john who sold it to a lad and later turned out he couldnt afford to run it, so he also sold it on to the lad that had the accident

Absolutely lovely car shame it ended that way  

Well ive seen one on the rspec website and its 1/8npt both ends amd i thought it was that until i saw the one i posted above which says its 1/8bspt but is to fit the starlet so im lost 

Thats what ive been looking at but says the thread size on that for the block end is 1/8bspt ?

Does anyone know the thread size othe the oil pressure switch/sensor where it goes into the block ? 

Wanting to get a remote oil pressure gauge adaptor but dont know if i need 1/8npt or 1/8bspt thread where it goes into the block 

I know i need 1/8npt for the end i put my sensors for the gauges, just unsure about the end that goes into the block

Thanks

Finally got around to getting some new wheels yesterday after not liking the ones on the car when i bought it

Anyone know what the centre bore size is for a 98 glanza v ?

Thanks

shes now sat how i want her to be on new rear shocks and tein springs much better to drive

Can you remember if those were tein 50/57mm springs?

They are lowing springs bud rsr maybe as they look black.

 

Cheers nick

Ok thanks, i just wasnt 100% as couldnt see anything on the springs themselves as to say they were deffinately lowering springs, i wouldnt say its a harsh ride but personally id say its a bit stiffer on the back end than what id think stock springs would be, i also think it sits lower at that back ? 

Hi guys, 

need a bit of help, dont know if these are standard rear springs or lowering springs i have on my glanza, they do look quite tight on the pic but ive not seen standard springs before so im not sure. I have jacked the car up and clean the springs off but no marks on the springs to say they are after market lowering springs.

What do they look like to you ? 

Second pic is sat on 195/50/15 if it helps 

Thanks 

Ordered ! Look spot on 👌

Ordered ! Look spot on 👌

What power for? I used to run grooved with yellows no issues

Sorry should have said the power, nothing special only 190bhp

What are the best discs and pads to use on the front for the stock calipers ?

Read that the green / yellow stuff pads arent that good ?

Not wanting to go down the celica conversion route

Thanks

Looking for either:

Live sports type b front lip

Oem front lip

or

Varis front bumper

For 98 glanza v

Must be in good condition and closer to lincolnshire the better

I am able to collect

Thanks

Some of the starlets i took

Couple of weeks back had new kyb shocks fitted due to old ones leaking, while everything was off had new top mount and drop links too and also new cv boots as they were both split :/

MOT yesterday also and flew through with no advisories, she did me proud

Where did you get 75whp from?

That new front plate looks awful imo. First one you had better, minus the GB sign

Im gonna get new plates made up again, theyre gel plates too which makes the letters look bigger :/ just gonna go for normal ones i think

Dont mean to clutter your post ..... but after you dyno tuned the car, that 187.4 hp is at the flywheel & not at the wheel? I though only the engine dyno (as in engine out of car) would give flywheel figures. Please educate me.

Yes thats at the fly

The shiny cam cover looks mint with the white mate, do you sit any lower in those seats?

Cheers pal and yeh sit lower which is better imo
