Cant see why everyone things its cheap with what £2000+ worth of nearly new turbo kit on there? Granted you can get a forged glanza for 4k if a plum is selling it and it'll more than likely be a dog. You'll pay 3k for a clean standard car, your not going to be able to build one for yourself to that spec for cheaper than what its up for. Might be worth looking at it, as if its mint i wouldn't say its overpriced. If its hanging when you say it, well yea different story.

Did you get the one i sent you? Hopefully it'll sort the problem dude. If not i have another solution that would work... -
Should just about give you clearance, you'll then need a remote filter head and some an- lines. Pretty sure the filter thread is 3/4 - http://www.burtonpower.com/parts-by-category/cooling-system/remote-oil-filter-parts/take-off-plate-2x1-2bsp-side-ports-3-4-unf-filter-thread-moctopo1.html

^ This. Id run a kaaz. Thats whats going to go in mine! -
Not what you had them up for tho was it... or you just out to get what you can? You are avoiding the point to justify it saying you'd take lower and that you put some wheel sealant on them. Someone could of happily turned round and paid full up you wouldn't of then turned round and gone oh by the way have em for 450 posted as I'm overcharging you. As you clearly love detail ...Unique? - "being the only one of its kind, unlike anything else" I would say one of a kind is quite rare!
-
It's pretty simple. The wheels are 350.. You put them up for 500. Excluding postage in both examples. Doesn't take a mathematical genius to work that out. So a) 150.00 mark up isn't bullshit, so stop trynna claim its 15 quid profit lol. The wheels aren't rare? Correct so why have you advertised them as Unique then?
-
If you wanna be exact 380. Are you that desperate to justify it that you've had to go down the route of fuel money and a tub of wheel sealant lol. I couldn't care that they were brought from me/my brother and you make money of us..Thats not my point, what i don't think is right about everything is how the site owner would be ripping off his own members. I don't have a problem with you or anyone on the site, I'm just all for honesty. You said i wasn't being helpful and affecting the sale so posting where to get them from isn't really going to help that is it.A quick search for
-
You keep going back to the fact they were sold cheap - no they weren't lol. It's was as near as makes no difference as to what they cost in the country. They didn't take weeks, they took 4 days fully tracked and insured with FedEx with a whopping 36 quid import charge. Not exactly what you've said above. I've said my bit, members if you want to buy them for more than what you can get them for go ahead. I'll stay quiet from now.
-
You both wouldn't be saying that if you found out you paid through the nose for something but if you're happy with that, no bother. If being honest is ruining things and ripping people off isn't - Christ the Lord. I'll refrain from doing so in the future!
-
Buying something off a member then posting them up 6 months later with 150 quid knocked on em is abit different. And anyways you said this is nothing to do with a business so why would you bring businesses into the argument who have access to trade prices where the average joe who would be buying these doesn't. They weren't sold to cheap, they were sold at near what they cost. You can sell em, no ones stopping you... You'll just struggle with what you've got em up for now people know what they cost.
-
It's the truth all you need to do is look on here or Facebook pages, starlet community is now scam central. Just be honest and don't try and mug people off.. It's not hard. Yea 380 posted. Bit different to 500 + post. You wouldn't turn around so quickly and decide to keep em if you knew it weren't true. All the best with em!
-
Scenes just screwed, everyone's out to do people over now. May aswell import another set if anyone wants any. They're going for about 430 on eBay atm when I looked for another set in the country the other day and that was new from a trader. You paid 350.
-
I'd be tempted to buy them back seeing I've got my Glanza still as they were off my bros and my previous build.. But what they were sold for.. Not what you've got them up for... Bit of cheeky profiteering !
-
Haha yea fuck buying a Car from him.. Went and looked at one he was selling before I knew anything of him.. Shittest selection of starlets I'd ever seen.

Haha thanks mate! I'll be with my lot, it's new reg month at work so I'll only be able to come down Saturday night and Sunday! -
I'm keeping it! LOL. I've not pulled it apart to break it.. Rebuilding and refreshing the bay. > http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/90944-robs-96-glanza-v-refresh/ I'm not one for breaking starlets for bits!

I do it completely different to John, similar oil changes tho. Like said don't leave it idling for ages - does it no good. I use a decent amount of revs - Upto 6k off boost when running in engines with lots of engine braking to get the engine heat cycling. TRD did something similar with their engines, but in a dyno cell. They would use Upto 75/80% of Max revs. Using revs is better at getting a good ring seal than boosting it straight away. Running in engines this way also keeps them 'loose'. Looser engines make more power! I start introducing boost at around 500 miles after a few oil chang

RobSR replied to RobSR's topic in EP91 Glanza Progress Blogs
Thanks mate, I've learnt a lot in the 7 odd years I've been involved with them so this one should turn out pretty good. Gonna try some things that aren't the norm so to say. Rare day off tomoz, so will try and crack on with stripping more of the bay down. -
EP91 - GlanzaV - Burwash Build TD05
RobSR replied to RichWillmore's topic in EP91 Glanza Progress Blogs
05-18G isn't all that bad on a 4e. Its just pussys who moan about it. you'll be hitting 1.6bar by 4.5k on a decent map. Just drive it right, in the right gear and it'll be all good. -
I think that the core originally posted above will flow better than the Jperformance (blitz rep) as the end tanks are wank. End tanks on that core look pretty good and cold side piping is the same as the TB. Nothing wrong with a slightly thinner diameter hot side as it keeps turbo speed up thus helping with lag.

Side port to vacuum, ideally as close to the turbo compressor housing as possible, Top port to an EBC solenoid if you run one, if not, leave the top port on the waste gate open.
