It can be run in an engine hotter if that's what you mean yes, because it doesn't boil till 180 C it's pretty safe as an engine shouldn't be getting anywhere close to that temp, where as water boils at 100 so anything hotter than that creates a lot of pressure.I'm more worries about how my engine is running at these temperatures, rather than something braking or becoming dangerous

100 seems pretty high to me, mine kicks in at a bit over mid point but only stays on for say 30 seconds or so regardless of if it drops back down to mid point or not, I end up just opening the windows and turning on the heater or turning the Car off if sitting at lights, once I start moving it starts to drop to mid point

Cool will probably stick with a standard stat then. I'm running Evans waterless coolant, boiling point of 180 C and has no pressure due to it not expanding (or very little)

Would a normal thermostat be fine or would it be best to go with a low temp one? Of so where can I get one I know TD do them but they are a bit pricey, have read a stat from another car fits and is at a lower temp ?

Thanks mate

How would I do that ?

That's what I was thinking, may upgrade to a low temperature one as see if that helps

Hi everyone. My glanza always overheats in traffic, I have an id-workz triple core half rad and waterless coolant. Driving around is fine but as soon as I am sitting for a few minutes the Temps go up, the fan doesn't seem to kick in till quite late so was wondering what I could do. Any help would be great. Thanks

Welcome from Romford Same as milch lol

Update for you all I have now changed over to twin pots 260mm and the car feels like a madden day car. No long peddle travel Hope this helps others

Yes the 2nd link (I think anyway, from what I can see) Would like a new part though really

Notices I was leaking coolant from the elbow at the back of the engine today, looks like it would be a pig of a job replacing and also can't fined any new ones to replace with, anyone done this job ? And where is the best place to get the hose Thanks

The unichip does look like a good ecu if your not looking to go standalone only downside is not a lot of people map them

I'm looking for the same and have been looking at redline, they seem pretty good and know starlets well they will probably put it on a unichip supplied fitted and mapped for just under 700

Haven't really seen people who put in twin pots also upgrade the master but will look in to it, thanks guys

Yes was hoping that a full bleed of the system would do a lot, but didn't know if that was the only problem and didn't want to make it worse with bigger brakes

Okay so should make a small difference, maybe some braided lines could help as well

Okay so we all know the stock glanza brakes are rubbish all round so I'm upgrading to 260mm twin pots. Will doing this also improve brake feel as when I press the pedal now it has a lot of travel in it before it does anything. Going to be bleeding the full system as well and adjust the pedal as best I can so I hope it will feel like a more modern car. What are your experience with getting bigger brakes. Thanks

Anyone know of some places to call ? I know redline can fit and map a unichip just wanted to get some other feedback from other places in essex

Great stuff don't wana seem like I'm bugging him really. Sent him 3 messages already lol He doesn't live far from me as well so could even pick them up

Hummm just have to wait till russ gets back to me then I think, really need new set up as the stock brakes are shocking

See when I was talking to russ he said the astra discs don't need any work to fit the gt4 twin pots, it's all bolt on just need a spigot ring

Yer he is a great guy but think he has a lot on right now as hasn't replied to me, really wanted his 260mm kit and need it asap

Hi everyone I'm after a twin pot brake kit for my glanza If anyone has one or any information on the best way to make one up that would be great Thanks

Pm'ed if you still have them
