Is a glanza s gearbox the same as a glanza v and also what about a standard starlet non turbo box cuz I know sumone who has one that's done 40"000

The thing is I bought the car then it started popping out of gear a week later , wud hard driving and constant abuse not contribute to worn selector forks too?

Ok mate thanks, I will soon know for sure when the mechanic looks at it

Sell your carbon one mate, could get £300+ for it if it's in good nick except for the pins!!

right ok. will do thanks.

cud anyone get me the part number for a 5th gear synchronizer? was on toyodiy and not sure what im looking for : here where ive been looking:

yeah thats what i thought, i knew it was interchangable, thats good cuz i dont get stressed looking for parts anymore, yeah just a bonnet and fog lamps and id be happy with that and gearbox fixed.

id love if sumone wud swap me my carbon bonnet with a oem metal one cuz im not really bothered about my bonnet, only thing is it needs recovered and there a two holes in it for the pins. but i really want rid of it to be honest.

I would recommend coilovers but obviously it depends on your budget/how much you're willing to spend. I ran 40mm lowering springs when I first got my car, it was ok. But the difference between lowering springs and coilovers is like night and day. And if I was going to buy a lowering spring set up I'd honestly just save up a bit longer and buy some good second hand coilovers mate. I wouldn't waste your money just for the sake of it.

And yes most stuff is interchangeable, except for stuff like headlights and most of the front end.

thanks man , no not really just gona keep it simple and do what needs to be done for now in terms of fixing a couple of problems with it, wud u reccomend lowering springs on standard shocks? it was lowered but the rear shocks were bust completely, so i just raised the car up again for now. was gona get maybe 40mm lowering springs. and whats the deal with getting springs and shocks for them? starlet non turbo stuff fits right as long as its EP91?

The guy that had it before me had it slammed on lowering springs, what an idiot. ruined the shocks completely. i was just thinkin of lowering a wee bit and it shudnt harm shocks too much yeno.

Nice man so generally keeping it simple and tidy I guess? Any plans for power?

can one of you post the link for the car part/ breaking section, cant seem to find it , thanks

As ben said, there are no budget coilovers for these cars!

Best off to buy some second hand ones. Keep an eye out in the for sale section of the cars breaking section.

ok thanks everyone

Tidy mate any plans for it?

would like to put on a standard silver OEM bonnet and fix gearbox problem i talked about, then get new fog lamps cuz those ones are abit faded and rubber covers are gone off the back, would also like to get coilovers eventually.

Nice V Danny

thanks John

Whats the cheapest and most affordable coilovers for a glanza v as i find the BC and DD and other brands quite expensive, is there any thing on the market around the 2-300 mark?

Some Pics of my car that some of you asked for and for anyone who was wondering what my car looked like seeing as Im a new Member.

There we go dude, the boys are spot on .

they sure are , thanks for your help so far

open a photobucket account upload pics copy and paste img code on forum.

welcome aboard by the thank you its been quite difficult finding information on parts and whats available out there for my car, alot of parts ive enquired about have been discontinued like fog lamps and bonnet scoops. so its great to have this as a support to help me get the info and parts i need. thanks again

easy mate can be done with the box on the car just unbolt the cover thats where 5th is located and a 3 legged puller

a quick google search on 5th gear change brings up many how to

ok thats great thanks mate, will look into it asap any idea how to upload photos of my car on here?

thanks guys for your great welcome how do i actually upload photo's?,

Synchro's dude!

right how shud i fix that, wud it be advisable to just buy a new gearbox or can i buy the syncro's and put them in, what do you reccomend?

my gearbox has been knocking itself out of 5th gear alot, it seems to be doing this when im just driving along normally, not driving fast , its very annoying and quite dangerous as it has popped out when traffic is behind me, any suggestions as to what may be wrong?, the gears dont crunch or anything, it just pops out of fifth.

Welcome.

Anything you need to know don't be afraid to ask anyone .

Thank You , will do mate
