Alright so now I do see an "edit" option for this post but not on my progress thread?

edits work here

Hi ukso,

I've been puzzled for the past few months as I cannot seem to find the 'edit' button on my posts anywhere? My topic headline is a bit outdated and I would like to change it.

Has the editing system been changed or removed? I've tried using ios tapatalk, win7 chrome and opera browsers but i cant seem to find it though :|

halp plz

Some updates on this,

Had a huge short issue, burnt one of my cables from the rhs headlight to the interior :| disaster! Found that the short must have been from a rad mount I drilled in for the smaller Duet rad... Silly me!

Had a trip to South Africa, decided to leave my car at my friend's to solve the short issue and more

The burnt cable lol

After he fixed the short issue, this happened

Running MS2 had some WRX injectors I got from my buddy in and we also arranged for a legacy fuel pump.

My first time experiencing 1-1.3bar boost! It is so much fun!

I also bought seats and some other goodies when I was in SA

EVO seats

A few gauges. Oil press. Oil temp. Water temp.

6mm spacers

Managed to lower the back today!

Toyota raum Rear suspension

GAB shocks I got with 5% life

In they go!

DIY FTW

End result after install

Will be lowering rear to match front height.

A lot more damping testing to do to find the right setup for daily driving!

Coilovers have eliminated my steering issues up to 95%. Tiny play in wheels when full boosting (.7bar atm)

Great help from Mike@TD, thanks again!

Received a package from Mike@TD

Real excited!

Been a while

Kinda felt like changing the all white-ish blue look. got some fluorescent yellow film and 3000k bulbs haha

Bumper off for fog wrapping ohh my god!! I hate wrapping!

I quite like the outcome of it especially the greenish look at day more to come soon!

Just to update and be clear

Was not BOV but oil lines lol banjo clog

+1 on HKS ð

Hello UKSO,

I'm looking to purchase a set of coilovers with a new stage 1/2 clutch plate as well as some other goodies for my EP91. The problem is that I live in Tanzania, East Africa therefore the freight is really high so I am looking to make a one time purchase for these parts. I would prefer to NOT use DHL as they are totally incompetent in this country here!

I would also need an invoice as to record the purchase as expenses for my company as my vehicle is registered not under my personal name but my company. I have 30% income tax to pay so I'd rather purchase and fix up my Glanza instead of giving that money to the revenue authority!

What I'm looking for;

coilovers (PRIORITY)

stage 1/2 clutch plate (PRIORITY)

emanage blue (new or used)

reverse scoop

Please let me know if you have any leads or people I may speak to?

Thanks

Wesley

Would you be willing to ship to Tanzania, East Africa?

Hey ukso!,

just thought I'd share this here! This ep91 was the first in Tanzania to ever get upgraded.

RA-R is completely stock and runs on AVGAS. 320bhp 318lb ft of torque - only 300 pieces

Will do some more looking into that!

Great mods mate!!

Thank you!!

Lol after getting the second turbo running, it failed on me one morning on my way to work. Got really frustrated and sent my car to my friend to see whats up. Turbo died because of lack of oil once again. Banjo was clogged and restricting the oil feed. My friend ended up letting me run on his td04 with new banjos and we also then run water lines to ensure it would last this time.

Car's been boosting well at .7bar and driving it daily so far so good. Hoping for more updates soon!

Next up ECU?

The first turbo had jammed from running no BOV on IC piping, we believe that chatter and poor oil feed was the cause of the jam. Turbo then had shaft play (http://vid1371.photobucket.com/albums/ag310/DarLife/B69A6B7D-0C55-4658-81A4-E9511307D9F7_zpsvlm5yb94.mp4) after reassembling and mounting it on so I parked the car for a few days and went to pick up another td04 off a wrx engine.

Same day we picked up the turbo, we were determined to get it running!!! Worked into the night.

Took the car for a test drive on lowest boost setting and increased the MBC notch by notch as we monitored the detcan and AFR. I have a chinese boost gauge that used to read .5bar on stock ct9 lol and after a lot of pulling/monitoring/increasing boost, we were confident to leave it at the same boost reading on the chinese gauge which is 0.5bar (I suppose this is 0.8bar?), we did not hit cut so we assume it is running safely under cut. Need to invest in proper gauges :|

Here is a short teaser on the acoustics Internal wastegate FTW!

EDIT : Why cant I put vids from photobucket?

wel if the penny hits the wal then ooverboost will occur

so if i where you put some grease on the penny point and bolt the decat back on then open peny so now you know where to grind down a bit on the wall of decat :) the decat is really fat so its ok to remove some there

nice build mate :)

where did you buy this turbo kit ???

I'll look into this, thank you!

I ordered this kit from China waystar auto parts, I ordered it after having a look at my friends EWG kit. It looked pretty good so I went ahead and got one

The older number plates we have are a letter to represent the year 2/3 numbers, then three letters at the end that normally represent the area they are from

Ohhh thats a proper system there lol they just count numbers and alphabets here

Hello UKSO!

Yesterday we got my Glanza running td04 and fired it up for the first time. Let it run for a while, whilst we checked for leaks and other issues and then we set off to monitor AFR readings as we gradually increased the MBC (not running management yet). I had a bright idea of not running a blow off valve lol as I just love the sound of the flutter/chatter BUT! Before we could get to the testing roads, I felt that I had lost boost and that there was no spool at all anymore. We then popped open the bonnet and were confused so we took the car back to the garage and I called it a day as I had other matters to attend to. I was driving casually and did 4-5k pulls a few times before it stopped boosting completely. MBC was set to LOWEST setting too.

My friend opened the turbo and said that the fins and shaft are not bent and intact but that the bearing was stuck??? He reassembled it together and told me that it is spinning again and we are yet to test it on the car!

Is it time to purchase a new turbo? Or can the same td04 that got jammed once still run fine? Really frustrated right now lol dont have funds for another turbo right now, gotta wait for the end of the year!

Thanks,

Wes

This is so cool! Awesome rim collection

What's in the box?

td04 turbo off a GDA (Blob eye WRX)

td04 mani

I was expecting to use the stock radiator but it was not going to work lol so I followed up with a fellow Glanza buddy in Kenya and I got a Toyota Duet radiator!

Behold the ghetto mods haha rad mounts fitted

How the Rad sits

Car is currently sitting as is in the pictures above and we're going to start the car tomorrow! Hoping for the best.

Random pics

Oh look! Another box

Midnight Cruise Crew meets

So I was cruising with my friend who also has a Glanza running on td04 and as we were cruising around, he hit a cat and broke his front lip!

I took no time in asking him to let me fix it so that I could use the opportunity to make a replica!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^ Fiberglass replica made Costed me about $70 and 3 days Way cheaper than it would have if I were to import one Shipping/clearing charges/duties/etc

Decided to try spraying it with white spraypaint LOL as im broke now haha. Had let it dry for a day then slapped it on!

I wasnt really satisfied with the paint lol as in person, it emphasizes on the impurities on the lip as I'm waiting for enough funds to send the car for garage work! Got a few other minor scratches and dents I want to sort out too!

Was bored on a sunday and decided to sand down the specs on the lip lol and give it a change of color to hide most of the impurities lol

I thought that black would hide the specs better so I got a can of black paint

While the lip was drying I got carried away lol

awesome build... ep82 will be the same as ep91

now polish those headlights to let even more light threw

Thank you! Ok, I was not expecting so many rows for the IC lol! Not all my pictures are up yet

Sweet build, where you from? Number plate is the same format as UK!

Thank you! I'm from Tanzania, East Africa! Haha the plate numbers here just go along as the numbers of cars increase Is that how it works in UK too?

This is how I was driving around as I made up my mind about removing the crash bar Looks SO MEAN!

^ Finally fitted bumper
