  1. I thought it sounded like ryobi or montupet.

    Did you just slide them up the needle then? It's the temp/fuel one that's worrying me atm

    Got some of that polish company moman

    Yeah you take the screws off then slide them up the needle. With the temp/fuel dial you just need to bend the new dial ever so slightly then it should just go on.

    It took me like 15 mins to put them on then find a nice place to tidy your wires up.

  2. Looks great! Where do you work? We have a vapour blaster in work but they'd have a fit if I used it on car parts lol.

    Also did you remove the needles to fit the dials? I have new dials here just don't know what way to go about it :/

    I work for a big japanese firm in carrickfergus called Ryobi aluminium castings. We make car parts like engine blocks, transmission cases for all the major car brands like ford, peugeot ect. lol think most places have a fit when ever you do a homer in work.

    No mate do not remove the needles I simply placed the new dials over the old ones then screwed them in place. The needles are really delicate. What dials you get? :)

  3. New updates for my glanza.


    I purchased some indiglo dials from socks, the level of service, quick dispatch was top notch really pleased :) I just need to connect them to a power source in the car now, try and get my hands on a solder kit.

    A lot of bits and dress up parts arrived too but I'm still waiting on my oil catch can which shouldn't be too long.


    I also took my rocker cover into work and got it glass blasted by my boss, he did a brilliant job with it. (Benefits of working for a aluminium car part company) :D

    Enough to keep me busy this weekend :)


  4. I'm debating wether to polish my rocker cover or paint it red and then just sand the Toyota and the lines back to metal. Mine isn't painted atm so polishing would be handy.

    Looking well, I was going to go for a purple bay but decided to go red in the end

    I was going to go with red when I got my glanza but purple is abit different. Polished covers look super clean and fresh looking to me. red looks super clean too mate.

  5. So quick update. I took the strut brace off and stripped the old paint off with a wire disc grinder and sprayed it metallic purple.


    Also ordered some purple hose lines so I should have them next week. Going to order a purple oil catch can too and some other stuff to dress the engine up abit.

  6. They look like more flat ce28

    But there is differences where spoke meets rim and no step in round the centre cap

    Actually had a good laugh reading your replies lol especially seeing "awaits marc moss" then seeing wheel police under his name when he replies haha

    They really do look like ce28's but in a different variant.

  7. Thanks adzy :)



    So I took my side skirts off today because they needed some attention and got them sanded down





    Side skirts off and the sills are in good condition.

    skirts all sanded down and one has a few cracks that needed attention

    a bit off bodyfiller was used to sort this out.

    That's all the filling done so the next thing for me to do is to get it primed then get the skirts round to a body shop and get them to spray it.


    I have a few cans of rattle 404 white from halfords but I'll give that a pass. wanting a more better quality finish.


    Also should I use a filler primer rather than normal primer?


  8. Thanks guys the parcel shelf is just a rising sun flag I got of ebay. It dose add a nice touch to it.



    I've been really busy with the car over the weekend. I changed the door card fabric to black seude fabric and the center console in the dash.

    The door cards took me nearly 3 hours alone to replace the fabric. Then the center console was a pain to get right but I'm really liking how it looks now. Just need a set of bride seats but that's on my shopping cart :p


  9. So time I finally got around to a progress thread.



    I've owned this glanza for awhile now, have wanted to do a progress thread but the bad weather during the winter months has stopped me. But that the weather is getting better I've started doing work to it. I drive a seat ibiza as my daily and I've already put a good amount of money into it so it's now time to get started on my glanza. Here's some pics of it below.



    Quick spec list


    Tein HR coilovers


    HKS super sqv dump valve


    rays engineering wheels


    decat exhaust with cobra sports back box


    plug and play ecu


    Blitz turbo timer

    I'll try and keep the thread updated every time I get something new done on it :)


  10. Hi guys. I own a set of tein HR coilovers for my ep91 and I'm wanting to raise the ride height on the front as the car is way too low for where I live i.e speed ramps as big as mount fuji.


    One of the spring seats on one of the coilovers have a crack through it so when I try to raise the height it can't stand the pressure, just springs back down. I just need to replace the spring collar and problem sorted. Only problem is I don't know what the thread diameter is for the tein HR. Anyone who knows where I can get a replacement the right size would be brilliant.



    Thanks :)

  11. I need a driver side door from someone in Northern Ireland. Any colour will do as I'll resprey it white to match the car. When I bought my glanza back in July the driver side door lock had been ripped out by a attempted break in by the looks of it. I don't have the original lock on the door so it's just a hole in the door so I'm probably going to need new locks, new keys all round and a new ignition barrel. Anyone from NI that can help me out would be appreciated.

  12. Thanks for the welcome guys. My glanza is kind of stock compared to others I've seen. Heres a list of some mods on it.



    Tein super street coilovers


    HKS Blow off valve


    Blitz turbo timer


    Rays engineering 14's CE28 wheels


    Toyo proxy tyres


    And a plug and play ECU.



    I don't really plan on doing performance enhancing mods but more less restoring it to mint condition.
