  1. I have the option of spending £300 to repair the scooby and sell it with an MOT. It's never going to be worth as much as a forged Glanza. I'll have a think about it and perhaps have a look at the car. May be other tell tale signs that it's been abused. Thanks for your input.
  2. Without a physical leak and no smoke, I have no idea where the oil went! As tempting as it sounds I may give it a miss. Engine was built by a friend of LeeG but after breaking his car he sold it about a year ago. This is the car back in 2008. Has no Toms kit now though. http://www.toyotagtturbo.com/forums/showthread.php?11393-****TOM-S-GLANZA-V-FOR-SALE****-%A34900ono
  3. There is a set of ACL bearings and a polished crank provided so just needs rebuilt. The engine is stripped so that makes me wonder we he doesn't just fix it. I've not seen the car in person yet. Came over from Northern Ireland. Low mileage on the shell and a few descent parts. I'm sure I'd manage the rebuild but would need confidence that the engine would last.
  4. I've been offered a Glanza in exchange for my classic Impreza, The Glanza has a forged engine built by an individual and not a company. After a few thousand miles, it somehow ran low on oil and now needs bottom end bearings and crank replaced. I spoke to the previous owner of the engine and he ran it on a TD05 below fuel cut for just under 2k and then broke the car. I'm told It has since been ran on a CT9 at 0.9 bar with no smoke. Am I mad to consider swapping? do you reckon there is a more serious flaw with the engine that would reappear a few thousand miles after the bottom end is repaired
  5. Yep, fits a treat. Easier to fit with the bumper off and turned upside down. Just needs trimmed at the wheel arches.
  6. Did you make sure the bolts used to secure oil feed weren't too long? The CT9 will rotate, that's normal. Try tighten the clamp between compressor and centre housing.
  7. You can rotate the compressor housing to gain clearance.
  8. The SR specials are a pale blue colour like this http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/67729-kyb-new-sr-specials-with-rsr-springs/ Any pics of what you have?
  9. Wanted - KYB SR special front shocks Found a pair of rear shocks but now need to track down a pair for the front. Cheers!
  10. The powerflex equivalent are £76 on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Powerflex-Front-Wishbone-Rear-Anti-Lift-Kit-Toyota-Starlet-Glanza-PFF76-402K-/230946938695?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AStarlet&hash=item35c5829f47
  11. Ironic, I was just having a discussion with a colleague today about the potential for making them. I have the drawings here but yet to get any made. If there is a demand, I would consider making them.
  12. My posty has a GT van!
