Guys I need help. I wanna get the HKS hi power silent exhaust system for my Ep82 starlet gt. I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can anyone share a link? And If I get the EP91 exhaust system how much do I have to customize? May I get some detailed process? I'm new to this. 

Thank you guys in advance.

 

Here is a link for ebay item number 282803137704 it's for glanza though but all that needs done is the hangers moving to fit for a gt, any exhaust specialist should be able to fit it.

I went for Japanese shape plain and normal for now I have a lot more to worry about before making her pretty

Like learning to drive her the gear box when I test shifted it after reading mart1's post above felt very different I noticed 2nd and 3rd were a bit dificult to find and shes a bitch to get in reverse but I put that down to the age and potentially the need for a new gear box. When I tested it to see about the  speed box I realized the gears the gears are not set up in a standard H type fashion they shift Diagonally which is a first for me. I also found the thread on here about having a 6 speed in a standard Starlet double clutching and rev matching which is something I have never had to deal with before.

So the list is shorter now but not by much still lots to do before pretty and I have more and more parts in the shed waiting to be fitted. Also some basic maintenance stuff 

Oh I think I decided on a name and it is going to be Emoji  

 

I've got many of names for mine especially when I'm working on it.

mart any info is appreciated mate

Don't know much about the car other than seeing it for sale a couple of times on ebay. going back around 3 yrs now, wish I could remember the car dealers it was first up for sale with, they had a couple of glanzas silver then yours I can see the pics in my head still, yellow glanza parked up against a wall with graffiti. Was around 5k with them for some time then like I mentioned then was for sale as a private seller 3k plus, not registered. 

Anyone else remember this glanza for sale? or just me haha

Remember seeing this car up for sale around 3 yrs back at a dealers, and stating 6speed gearbox. 

Some weird shit going on with it, never got registered from dealers then about 6 months after was back up for sale privately but same seller. 

Definitely same car yellow outside red inside same alloys. 

Looking good and the skyline, still many glanzas  about over there?  and what price?  going up in value at all.  

Over here up and down trade dealers £6500

I've seen it on auto trader looks a nice motor, ring them up ask if there's any service history and has the cambelt ever been changed, if not it's around £200 to £300 for that job including parts, but if the belt was to snap they are a non interference engine so nothing to worry about if it was to snap. 

Test drive it see if it goes into gear fine and clutch seems OK, check that the engine gets up to good temperature halfway. 

For the money go for it. 

Not really much to worry about with exhaust and springs,   these are normally the first things that get removed when it comes to mods, just depends if you want to keep it standard but still not a big job or expensive  to put new standard  exhaust and springs on. 

Have a good look under the car for rust, old cars now plenty of rot boxes knocking about. Take your time go and look at more than one, good service history is a bonus,  try and find a jem with low mileage, you be surprised they are about. 

This still on eBay, so have you just bought it? I take it you know this car has just had engine work done on it?  head gasket blown. Which is rare for one of these with such low mileage. 

This glanza was for sale for around 3 years at a dealers in Yorkshire then sold at Christmas just gone. The last owner only had the car for a few weeks to find the head gasket blown, spent a lot of money on it getting it fixed then was quick enough to get rid. 

Just be careful you haven't bought a lemon. 

Take front seats out sit in the back 

you want to see the messages I've received on not to buy from Zoib 😂

Zoib told me he wouldn't even have sold it to you for full asking price he can't be bothered dealing with wankers 😂

haggle, barter, negotiate.

I'm sure you have done it yourself many of times.

You was just showing off mate.

Don't worry I've walked well away from your v.

Do yourself a favour have some lessons on how to sell a car.

More likely to find another buyer than you are to find another stock auto glanza though

hahah, he'd have paid that aswel

Look cool though with very few mods.

I'd have it.

The only thing I'm not keen on is the price, £2000 tops for this.

Bring the starlet back.

I have a soft spot for the MITSUBISHI LANCER EVOLUTION IX EVO 9 WAGON.

I probably will get my hands on one when they come down a bit.

I own this one. And I'm eating most things it comes across so I'm unsure what was going on with yours.

A standard 260 bhp one won't though, I have owned one and 40hp more on one of those tanks isn't going to make much difference.

Supposedly the most stout factory version of the 3sgte was found in these, id just love to pull all the spoilers etc off one with big power and go full sleeper. there was one for sale for 1200 on ebay recently, wasnt even up a day before it went lol.

These cars are very nice to drive but not all that fast, about the same as a standard glanza v, big heavy cars don't miss mine.
