    Subtely modded ~ 1996 Glanza V ~ 79k miles ~ £2,100!!!!!!

    in Cars For Sale

    Posted · Edited by joe-ep91

    For sale: 1996 Glanza V turbo. Silver. 79,000 miles. Tax til end of sept 2012. mot til end of oct 2012.

    Item Condition: Used

    1996 (N) registration

    Always ran on Shell V-Power or Super unleaded petrol (Shell V-Power 90% of the time)

    There were no advisories from previous MOTs but I am aware that there are a couple of small niggles:

    Passenger side CV joint could do with changing (clicks slightly)

    Small hairline crack on decat and manifold could do with welding but not affecting performance

    Cd changer catch does not hold cartridge anymore (could be repaired)

    Scratch on driver’s side of car, and a few other small scratches (16 year old car)

    Bonnet catch could do with a proper bracket setup to crash bar from when I fitted the FMIC (slightly looser than normal)

    I have been as honest as I can and these are very minor issues. But I have adjusted the price to which I think is more than a bargain!

    I bought this car in November 2007 fresh from import. I am the first UK owner. It is great fun to drive and I estimate it to be roughly 150-160bhp. The engine runs smooth and starts first go every time, which is not surprising considering it has only covered 79,000 miles (this will rise a little as i drive 5-10 miles a day) It has NEVER-EVER hit more than 0.8 bar of boost. I had it dyno’d in January 2008 and it made 139.4bhp @ the fly. This was with only an air filter and cat back stainless exhaust. They are 133bhp standard, so i was very pleased with the little 1.3 turbo. Since then it has had quite a few choice modifications (see list below)

    Engine

    ToyoSports Front Mount Intercooler

    Exedy Organic clutch kit

    Magnecor KV85 HT leads

    Bosch Super 4 Spark Plugs

    FSE fuel pressure regulator (set at 2.85 bar)

    Cobra 40mm springs (sits really nice)

    Interior

    55mm boost gauge

    HELP!!! Is my engine on it's last legs??

    in Engines

    Posted

    right so i took her out for a slow and careful drive earlier. no smoke at all til she warms up and then 10 minutes later lots of whiteish blue smoke on idle and when i blip the throttle i get a big clump of thick oily smelling smoke. also the miss fire is completely random comes and goes as it pleases! its not to.bad at high revs but pretty bad at low revs e.g. pulling away from a slow roll in 2nd. what i dont get is that shes making 145psi across all cylinders on a warm engine and ive been getting 450-550 kms per full tank of v power.

    any help much appreciated thanks
