Thanks very much mate! I shall be taking the camera to japfest this year and I'm on stand so looking forward to getting some shots of all the cars together! 😊

Hahaha I know mate but the autofinesse mitt is quite chunky and most of the time I can't be arsed 😂

Thanks mate appreciate it!

Hi guys I've recently acquired a nice DSLR camera and I've been playing around with it for 6 months or so. Completely fallen in love with taking pictures and editing etc. So these are a couple shots I took a couple of days ago after giving my Glanza V a good clean!

If theres anyone relatively local to me ( Im in Windsor, Berkshire ) I would love to meet up to shoot some cars as I'm trying my best to grow my collection of images.

Feel free to give me a follow on instagram, my user name is sam.miller965

Let me know what you guys think!

There is a few others i need to add but i shall get round to that!

cheers

Jack the front of the car up so both wheels are off the ground, Spin one wheel, If the other wheel spins in the same direction you have an LSD, If it spins in the opposite direction you have an open differential.

Thanks very much mate I shall do this once we get some good weather 😂

I'm using 75w90 on my OEM LSD gear box will do the job fine

Thanks mate appreciate that it's good to know

Hi lads. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on what possible oil i need for my 1997 EP91 Glanza V. I'm pretty sure I have an LSD. But just to be double sure is there a way of checking without taking the gearbox off? I know on the sticker on the inside of the car it does state I have an LSD. Im just aware that I need LSD specific oil. If anyone could recommend a good oil that would be great.

Thanks for the continued help lads.

Sam Miller.

I can find it when i get home, but if not, just call and say what it is and where it goes, they should be able to help you

Perfect mate thanks very much!

Can be bought from Toyota

Ah can they mate? Any idea what the part code or name is?

Hi mate I'm after the clips that hold the parcel shelf down. You don't happen to still have them do you? Where the parcel shelf clips into on the car there should be two black clips and I've lost one and it rattles like hell 😂.

Thats me payed and booked a slot on the stand for this year. So excited as I wasn't on the stand last year!

Lol currently working. I'm up for this weekend if you guys can

Can't this weekend mate as I mentioned in comment above away for Christmas but I'm up for something in January for sure!

Well there's a good few starlets in Milton Keynes and I'm not far away, any excuse to actually drive my starlets good enough for me aha

Yeah same for me mate as it doesn't get used daily because I've got a work van! We can sort something out for sure will have to be in the new year though as I'm away back up to Scotland for a week over Christmas and new year to see the family

i use ebay systems lads diy wire in there is very decant systems out there for few bucks tyhat are awsome bang for buck and gps tracking etc etc

if you want links pm me and i will reply them to you

Ah I see mate that what you've got in your car? Might have to take a look at them and see what they're like then! Sometimes you do get more for your money on eBay stuff

Weather doesn't matter at sainsburys mk ;)

Probably a trek from Windsor mind

I dunno mate I'm up for it aslong as a few of us turn up! Got myself a nice camera so would be wanting to try and take some cool photos😊

Well the car has central locking already, when you get the alarm, you control it all through the fob which is great , the more expensive toad alarms will also text you ect when you alarm had been set off and stuff like that

Ah I see mate mine doesn't annoyingly 😔 That certainly is great I'm missing that lol. Aw man that's awesome would be nice to know it's been stolen 😂

Yeh you get remote central locking with it. Was worth it just for that tbh lol.

I got an auto spark to fit mine, think I paid him about £50

Ah I see mate so did you just buy the kit and then ring up a sparky? Seems a decent way of going about it

Me and Dave have working cars now so we'd be up for it lol

I remember speaking to you a while ago mate about yours sounds like a plan guys. Just need to think of somewhere.

Got a Toad one in mine, couldnt fault it 3 years on, was fitted by the company i bought it from

Ah I see mate I will definitely look into them then! 😊 Just want something that's reliable! Did you get central locking done aswell on that system?

Toad ai606 is decent alarm and reasonably priced

I shall take a look 😊 I take it most of you guys bought the alarm and then got someone to fit it?

depends what your budget is and what you want from it

mine cost al in 100£ 2x immobilisers live tracking and remote engine kill function by sms

I mean I'm willing to spend maximum around £300-£400 as I need to get an auto eletrician to fit it aswell as I've never done anything electrical with cars really. That sounds like a bargain though mate what system is it? I'm wanting to add central locking aswell as the car currently doesn't have it annoyingly!

Hi guys just wondering what alarm system everyone is running? Any good recommendations? Planning on getting one fitted in January 😊

Glad your happy with them, i hope theyre all good! look foward to seeing you about

Thanks mate I'm delighted with them! Spoke to Tein when i got home and new bushes are super cheap, around £30 from Japan. Yeah mate well once you've got your V all going and that maybe we could have a little meet up? See if theres anyone else up your way thats keen maybe?

Looking at getting myself a nice steering wheel. Preferably leather over suede and with a nice dish kind of like a nardi. I may end up getting a Nardi just wondering what hubs everyone is using? I've got a 97' V just for reference.

Thanks guys

So a long overdue update. Today was a very exciting day, I drove about 90 Miles north to meet tyler, BMX-RIG and bought his Tein Coilovers off of him. This is them here:

Although the paint is abit flakey and theres some surface rust they look spot on apart from that. Can't wait to get them fitted.

Also i failed to mention that a month or 2 back I bought a SARD R2D2 BOV off abbott. Its brilliant and i can't fault the sound it makes. Only just have one question though. Well first of all heres a pic of it:

When its on the car it makes it run quite rough. I've noticed the car also chatters a lot more. I understand i probably need to adjust the spring for the diaphram to be able to open easier. Am i right in thinking its the allen screw on the top here?

Any help would be appreciated guys

Also I've noticed that Japfest tickets are up for sale going to get mine ASAP hoping to get on the stand for next year aswell anyone else getting your tickets sharpish?

Anyways the coilovers shall be getting fitted in January and then I'm wanting to get some new wheels and tires before japfest and possibly some other little bits just to tidy her up.

Look forward to some comments!

Duh, just realised I posted in the wrong section ... Sorry haha

I've been to this a couple of times mate 😊 Ain't seen your car yet but was thinking of going to the final one this year potentially 😊
