  1. Hello, I've got a glanza V EP91. My front pads have become very low and need changing, I've ordered some EBC green stuff pads from ID Workz but they won't arrive till Monday, I've had a look at my brake fluid bottle and it says that it is on the very lower limit. When I'm driving the handbrake ( ! ) light keeps coming when I'm press the brakes slightly or hit a bump because of the hardness of the coilovers. Is the light coming on because more fluid is being used to push the cylinder in the brake caliper out more or do I have another problem? Also my brake master cylinder fluid bottle is showing to be low as well, is this due to the same reason. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers
  2. Quick update: As soon as my other car has sold I'll be getting the FMIC and induction kit sorted then I can start looking at the engine properly and seeing what needs sorting and uprating, if anyone has any pointers or advice on which intercooler and induction kit then that would be much appreciated. The car also came with grooved discs on the front. The discs are fine to get me through the winter but the pads were pretty low so I've just ordered some EBC Green stuff brake pads from ID Workz. When the winter has passed I'll be swapping the front and rear discs to drilled and grooved. Adding braided brake lines and swapping the 3 dot brake fluid for 5.1 and maybe swapping to a different colour EBC pad depending on how they perform. Also I got hold of a metal speedo converter (kph to mph) from someone of the forum. I was told that it also removed the top end speed limit. I fitted the part which was easy enough but soon found out that my car wasn't high boosting in 2nd gear anymore, Does anyone know why? My car never high boosts in 1st gear either, is that normal? Anyway, I removed the part as I would prefer the car to be faster at low end speeds and pull better on the first couple of gears as I'm not that fussed on going stupid with the top end speed, I only got it to convert the speedo.
  3. Cheers lads, yeah only got one photo at the minute, the engine is pretty much completely standard, only thing is on there is some dodgy earth wiring which I'll be sorting and spitfire HT leads.
  4. I've just got hold of a glanza V EP91 and I'm looking to get rid of the TMIC and get a FMIC and new induction kit fitted, the car is standard and I was wondering which induction kit would be best? And I'm looking at getting the Varis style front bumper from ID Workz in the need future, and I want an intercooler kit that includes piping that willl perform the best, fill the gap in the bumper, and have the best fitment preferably without cutting into the bumper? Any information would be great, thanks
  5. Not got many photos as I've been on nights since i got the car so here are some I got this weekend.
  6. Cheers lads, I appricate it, I'll get some photos up for you to have a look
  7. Cheers mate, can photos only be added on desktop format? I cant see how I would add photos when I'm using my phone?
  8. Hello, my name is Kyle and I've just recently had a 1998 Toyota starlet glanza V TRD EP91 imported from Japan. The car is a complete rust free example and is in pretty good condition for a car of its age. When the car arrived I paid to have it fully wax oil undersealed to preserve the underside and prevent any future rust. There are a few slight scratches on the bumper, but nothing that can't be fixed. The car has around 68,000 miles with a full service history and has just been fully serviced and MOT'd. The car is pretty much standard power wise but has had a few handling modifications made. When I bought the car it came with Tein fully adjustable coil overs, front upper and lower strut brace, front anti-roll bars, Wedsport SA-90 alloys and I've just had them wrapped in Nankang Ultra-sport NS-2 tyres. The car also came with a full exhaust system, the import company said it was kakimoto but I'm unsure of the brand. It also has a blitz dual turbo timer. Other than these the car is completely standard. I'm currently in the process of selling my old car and saving up through the winter to get some decent money together and really start adding some power. I have hopes to get it to around 250bhp by then end of next year and leave it for a while and then save up again and sent it to Race-Tech to be forged as the company is only 10 minutes away. So that's just a little background information about me and my intentions with the car. I only have very basic knowledge of the car and will probably need all the advice, pointers and heads up I can about things. Also I will add some photos when I figure out how to do it (I'm new to the whole forum thing)
  9. Cheers mate
  10. Cheers mate, I'll check them out
  11. Hello, my name is Kyle and I'm from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, I'm new to the forum and have just had a 1998 White glanza V EP91 imported from japppppan. Only really have really basic knowledge about these cars and I am hoping to get the car running around 250bhp area and then save up and forge it to the 300bhp mark in the near future, so I will probably need a lot of advice and pointers from you guys, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask me, thanks
  12. does anyone know where I can get a full white silicone hose kit for a glanza V Ep91?
