  1. The calipers are direct fit the only thing you need to do is get a part of the disks machined. PM if you you want to know more.
  2. NOW ON EBAY: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rota-Auto-X-15-Alloy-Wheels-Alloys-BNIB-4-x-100-6-5j-CIVIC-STARLET-/181722861584?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a4f86d010 Item For Sale: Rota Auto X 15" Alloy Wheels in Black with Red Lip 15" x 6.5" 4 x 100 et 40 Item Condition & Description: Brand New in Box. No marks on them at all, never even had a tyre fitted. I originally had a set of Rota Auto X Alloys with the anodised lip on my Glanza an loved them, they looked perfect, only issue was the anodised lip would get small holes in it due to stoen chip and slower water would get in and m
  3. Been an absolute age since I last updated this, couldn't even find the thread at first! So here goes. I removed the poor quality and not very accurate depo gauges and got myself a proper Japanese HKS mechanical boost gauge. I forgot the level of quality you get with the proper Japanese stuff, so much better than all this cheap made in china rubbish. So mounted this right hand side so I can actually look at it while driving. I had also removed my depo water temp gauge, I liked being able to keep an eye on water temps but couldn't find a matching HKS gauge so I also made a digi
  4. The was originally my friends car, we did the body conversion then he got the engine fitted ran it for a bit and sold it way too cheap. It cropped up on my facebook a few months ago looking like this: Looks like the Recaro interior has gone!
  5. http://www.svaimports.com/cars/stock/starlet-glanza-5/ This one yeah?
  6. Seen this on facebook today. Has an n/a spec steering wheel. Probably from airbag deploying so it had to be swapped.
  7. Basically use 2 buckets. A wash bucket and a rinse bucket. That way all the crap you rinse off stays in you rinse bucket and your wash bucket stays nice and clean. Clean water with no crap and dirt in it means no swirl marks In short you are not washing your car in its own filth.
  8. 2 bucket method, a decent wash mitt such as lambs wool, a decent drying towel and most importantly some proper car shampoo should see you not inflicting any more damage to your paint.
  9. 1.9 for a Glanza box and 2.5 for a GT Box.
  10. Wastegate could be plumbed in wrong. I would triple check that. I remember once not plumbing a CT9 in and it went boost crazy, scary stuff watching the boost gauge go places it shouldn't be!
  11. I still think it's required even with coilovers but more than happy to agree to disagree. I found it to be the one mod that seemed to make the biggest difference for not a lot of money.
  12. As above apart from this one: Whiteline Rear ARB /not needed Defo needed.
  13. Proper wolf in sheeps clothing. Been seriously looking at these for my next car. How much did you give for that one out of interest?
  14. +1 for the Clarke CEW1000 Never failed me on a Starlet bolt.
  15. InteriorRear Clusters Rear Spoiler Light Colour Dial Needles Colour Fog Button Location Hi / Lo Button Location Front Indicators Colour of Interior Plastics Colour of Carpet All 96 Spec.
  16. You know this is actually a 96 spec right?

  18. You need a proper water temp gauge to diagnose any kind of water temp issues, stock gauge is vague at best! It does nothing until 40 degrees, moves from bottom to middle over 40 - 80 then stays halfway from like 80 - 120 degrees. If the low temp stat runs you at 68 when driving it will not sit at halfway, but as is said you need a proper temp gauge.
  19. Mine hiding in a car park last week. Got stuck so many times, too many hills where I live. Managed to get to a car park away from all the numpties and waited it out there. Joys of a having a Glanza for a daily, wouldn't have it any other way to be fair!
  20. Strange one, I couldn't find anything with the above part number. Here is what I got with the relevant part numbers and costs, this could also be used to upgrade a 96 spec cluster so it looks 98 spec, well apart from the needles. Here is the mess I had before using off the shelf bulbs! Then after fitting the new bulbs! Phew, order restored, it was driving me nuts not being 100% perfect.
  21. if you are only running 8psi there is no need for it.
  22. You may have a blown engine shortly if you don't know how the car has been setup with that?
