Why are they being towed ?? Surely they can't do that because of an exhaust ??

Over here(Northern Ireland) plod are checking modified cars for insurance, every single bit on mine is declared and listed even down to my fancy valve caps lol 

Yeah they can dude, emissions test the cars. Is they’re de-cated and fail th emissions they’re not road legal and the seize them. I don’t fancy having my Glanza squashed into a cube! 

Hey guys,

im back with another question (all I seem to be doing on here!) 

so I’m going to be changing my exhaust soon. Full system, manifold and such.  But lately around where I live Plod have been pulling cars in and doing checks on things like decats and if you fail they tow your car. A few civic boys and 1 or 2 starlets have been caught in the last few months. So I’m wondering what the best option is. Could I get a sports cat? Other than that what’s a good catback system? Or any other way I could go for this? Any help is always appreciated! 

Cheers

EFI pipe is the induction pipe that goes from the standard turbo location to the standard airbox

It's called this because it had EFI written on it 

I got that bit mate haha, I was more wondering what modification I would have to do to it but maerijn cleared that up for me

What I think it means is (and it was the case with my Zisco ramhorn) that when you install a ramhorn exhaust header you can no longer use the original topmount intercooler.

Oh right! Well that makes sense. I knew that bit but didn’t know if there was something else needed. Nice one mate! 

Bought a parcel shelf and handbrake from Tansel, absolute star! Kept communication the whole time and stuff arrived quickly and perfectly! Nice one dude! (Even if he did put Miss on the parcel!)  

Hey guys,

my Glanza’s going in for a health check and service this week and if it comes back with a clean bill of heath (fingers crossed!) I can start getting some more power out of it.

first on the list is the exhaust and when looking at some ram horn manifolds for a CT9 I noticed it said about modifying the efi pipe. As I’m learning about engines as I go I’m not sure what I need to do. Is it just a case of relocating it to behind the rad? Are there any kits out there to do this? Any help is always appreciated guys!

cheers

Could be your track rod ends arent centered. When I got my glanza I had terrible steering lock one way and so much the other way it rubbed.

Hey mate, that may be it! My tracking is way out since changing them so that would make sense. I’m getting my tracking done in Saturday so hopefully that’ll sort it. If not I’ve got new track rod ends to go in before. Thanks for the help bud!

Because the car is lowered one of your wheels is now rubbing to the inner wall when on full lock. Did you take the wheel off when you inspected? What wheel size do you have?

Hey mate, thanks for the reply! Yeah I did. Makes sense that I couldn’t see anything! Only 15’s in there. It’s strange that it’s only when turning right though? Do you know anything about the top mounts in them mate? Thanks again pal

So I fitted a set of Meisters to my glanza over the weekend and now when I’m on full lock there’s what sounds like a rubbing coming from the front? Had a look and can’t see anything catching. Any ideas? Also when I read the instructions that came with them it mentioned making sure the top mounts were fitted correctly? I just fitted them as they came out the box? Was there any adjustments I was supposed to have made to the top mount? Any help is always appreciated! 

Any about? Will take a cut ione if it’s for 6x9’s?

Hey peeps 

after a parcel shelf for 97 glanza. Uncut would be ideal 

cheers

Sounds like some of the problems with the car could be fixed quite easily mate, that's decent mileage and if the underside is clean you might struggle to find another with those miles etc in the future. If I were you I would try and get some of the issues sorted before selling for next to nothing. I'm not far away if you need a hand with anything I'd be happy to lend a hand.

James

Hey James,

Well gotta be honest that's good news too me! The thing that kinda pushed it for me was being told it would be 2 grand to sort the bodywork out. but I think I'll take your advice as I haven't seen much about. When I get a weekend free or something I may give you a shout to pop up and just have  gander if you don't mind? really appreciate the help and advice mate.

Jason

Hey guys,

So unfortunately the time has come to let my Glanza go.  from what I can tell I bought a pig of one and the amount it's gonna cost to fix it up is waaaaaay more than I can afford. I'm gonna be keeping hold of it for a little while and will probably end up getting another on in time but I'm just wondering what I could expect to get for it in its current state? Obviously I know this is all just rough ideas and such but I genuinely don't know where to even stat with it. so here's a quick breakdown of the car.

1997 Glanza v

120000 km's

White(but been resprayed by previous owner, Badly)

small rust patch under the rear window and along the top of the boot.

Gearbox whines but no crunches

passenger side wing was reversed into and is damaged. indicator on that side is therefore kinda of wedged in there for the moment.

car will have new brake pads (yellow stuff on front and Ultimax on the back)

has EBC grooved discs on the front

engine runs smoothly, pulls well in all gears.

has turbo timer and boots gauge.

I think that's everything. to be honest I just want some kind of rough idea and underneath the car is ver clean. I feel like someone with more time and money that me would be able to turn this into a real cracker. any advice is always appreciated.

Ah mate your a gem, cheers pal!

Hi guys,

Just putting the feelers out. I'm after a set of Meister R Coilovers for the Glanza. My suspensions shot and I figured I might as well go for the best. But before I shell out 800 odd quid for new just wondering if anyone has any in mint condition?

Cheers!

Well for starters, dismantle the column from the car. And just have a look at what is giving play, I doubt it's the bearing, probably something has come loose. Either way you're talking an hour MAX to dismantle investigate and reassemble with minimal tools.

mate if I could send a beer your way I would! cheers pal i'll tackle that this weekend and see what the crac is

The bearing they're probably referring to is the one above my calipers there.

 

I wouldn't have thought that is serviceable, not even sure how one damages that bearing.

It does look like it's locked in with some type of circlip, and the parts diagram show it can be disassembled. 

Nice one Calum! I don't know how this happened it's something I've noticed since I bought the car. Hmmmm not sure how I'm gonna sort this one. Thanks though mate this is really helpful

I have never heard of a loose bearing in the steering column. 

Its a simple steering rack with a track rod arm in each side. 

The steering rack is also pretty simple with one knuckle joint. 

The only thing i can think of is a “wheel bearing” which is common amongst starlets because of the age of them now.

the wheel bearing are pressed into the hub. They can be replaced, but sometimes its easier just to get a second hand hub with a good wheel bearing.

 

Hi Mate, thanks for your reply. Well I haven't heard of one either but I'm still learning so I thought maybe I was being dull. I don't think the meant wheel bearing only because I had to have that changed as well so on the MOT form it had wheel bearing and then underneath just said "steering column bearing loose." my steering has quite a bit of play in it so I'm guessing that's what they're referring too. Any idea what could be the cause of that?

thanks for your help mate. Really appriciated

bump any ideas guys?

Hey guys,

So I've had my MOT and one of my advisories was I have a loose bearing in my steering column.  I have no idea how to get to that though? take the whole wheel off? and do I just tighten it or am I gonna have to replace the bearing? any insight is appreciated peep!

cheers

any of just the fog lights knocking about either?

cheers lads  

Bump, still after any of these guys. been told the UK spec bumper brackets will work if anyone is breaking one.

cheers guys

Hi Guys

I'm fitting a facelift bumper to my pre-facelift Glanza so I'm after the brackets for it (been told they're the same as the N/A bumper brackets)  I'm also after the facelift fog lights for it as well.

cheers guys!
