As above, I've got a double-DIN headunit in my Glanza (as of next Saturday), I believe it's a Pioneer or Panasonic, will confirm model when I have it. Wondering if anyone would want to swap me for a single DIN HU and a tray or any of the various little parts that were fitted there?

Clean it! Lol, I'm a bit of a detailing nut so even though it's already clean, first job will be to get it in my mates garage the weekend and give it a thorough detail. For piece of mind too - it'll need a good coat of wax if we're due another heavy winter. Might do a small service, the guy said it's recently had oil, filter, front pads and a front bearing anyway. Probably get a full alarm system sorted next, again for piece of mind, better safe than sorry. Then on to mods - tempted to shop around for some new wheels, got a few sets in mind either buy new or source used.. I might go for 16's, 45 profiles and lowered accordingly. Hoping springs will lower it a sufficient amount initially as coilies are expensive when not a necessity. The tyres that are on it, are good condition, not not really 'performance' tyres, so may as well do wheels and tyres in one. Then the obligatory rear ARB, panhard rod, anti-lift / castor kit, and a boost gauge. Might get it RR'd then to see what it's running, if all's well I'll look into mainfold, decat, actuator... Don't wanna go down the FCD route, so for my take on 'stage 1', I'll try to keep it just below fuel cut while making best use of the power that's there (150 possible before fuel cut?) Then eventually look into a stage 2 with an ECU etc, get the most out of the CT9 (~200?). Don't know if I want to go down the TD route in all honestly, I might aim for the 200 mark then focus on handling and braking etc. As you can see I've been thinking about this quite a bit haha..

Hmm, interesting. Guess all I can do is wait until I've got the car then try to find out

Thanks dude. Yeah it's a lovely example I managed to find, didn't waste much time with it lol. I like to find standard ones, even though it seems you get a lot more for your money buying pre-modified.. I'm really picky and like to start with a clean slate. This will be a weekend project / toy anyway, so I can take it slow and do as much as possible myself, learning along the way and putting my own mark on it. So excited to get it now

Can't remember if was last week or the week before, but it was mid-afternoon on the A40 dual carriageway driving away from Wales. Stunning white Glanza V, pretty low of wheels with I think a purple centre and polished lips.. White C-pillar brace, possibly an FMIC. Looked amazing! I was passenger in a navy blue VW Tiguan, marked up with Highway Maintenance stuff when we passed you

Cheers dude, I'm looking into them

!!!!!! A square / rectangular toggle switch?? There was one there, but I could've sworn it was for the aftermarket rear fog Dud - can you recall the model / price etc? I'll have a look if you're recommending it. I want a decent one anyway, remote start would be sweet too over the winter!

Well, I don't have an alarm - yet. I'm gonna get a Cat alarm / immobiliser fitted with remote central locking.. So I'd imagine this would need to be incorporated into the TT to avoid any conflicts (like a relay or something that activates the immobiliser when the TT turns off?) Anyway cheers guys, I'll start there and report back when I've got it next Saturday Edit: @DudFunk, that's interesting! Something I'll consider too, might be harder to trace if it's simply a relay fitted somewhere eh?

Sound, so I've got a general area to start with Are they all usually adjustable? Or do some literally connect up and just do their thing?

Lol, I know what you're saying.. I just meant is there a common place people install them that's out of sight? It's nowhere inside that I can see, I could spend hours searching under the dash or around the engine bay, or somebody could say 'oh, a few members have stuck them under so-and-so behind the dash and connected to such-and-such wire' No mate not that I can remember, there's no alarm, key fob or anything. It's got the central locking but that's by a manual key.

Hi guys, quick intro - Chris, 23, West Midlands. I was originally into VW's, then got an immaculate standard Glanza 4 years ago, but had trouble with my license and insurance so had to sell it, I was gutted. Anyway, few years of making do with cheap runarounds, doing my bike license etc, I'm due a company car, so literally this past week I've decided to bugger off my cheap runaround and get another Glanza. Went and viewed this today (advert might vanish now it's sold): http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/starlet/facelift-model-toyota-glanza-v-1-3-turbo/1762102?utm_source=share And left a deposit to pick it up next week. Plans are usual - keep it clean, serviced, and up to stage 1, around 150-160bhp. I'll be sorting the handling first though, I had all this researched and planned back with my old one, but never got that far. I'll put a thread up when I've got it home and go from there, I'll be sticking around no doubt for tech advice and a bit of banter. I've already made my first tech thread if you don't mind me directing you to it, if anyone has any ideas: http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/71395-turbo-timer-where-is-it/ Cheers, Chris.

Hi guys, I've just bought this, hope you can see it cause the advert may have been removed completely: http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/toyota/starlet/facelift-model-toyota-glanza-v-1-3-turbo/1762102?utm_source=share Either way, it's a Glanza It's standard apart from a Blitz cat-back, HKS filter and a turbo timer. Trouble is, neither me or the trader selling the car can find the turbo timer! It works, and works fine, it seems to be set to about 30-45 seconds, but it's not in the car, or at least anywhere visible.. Any ideas where to look?? Many thanks, Chris.
