Also what other connections do I need? Earth? positive connection on battery? negative connection for battery?

I have a spare rev counter lying around... which bloody wire do I tap into on the dizzy for the sender wire? photos would be appreciated cheers.

Reverse is far right down pretty sure its a five speed unless there is some special shift like on European cars ie lift the gear stick up or push down to access another gear. Sorry unfamiliar with a timing light could you please provide more detail cheers.

Is there an easy way to test it, mate has a hoist I can throw it up on if need be, but would prefer to do it with a multimeter, have had a look around on Youtube but for the glanza seems difficult could anyone upload a clip that works for the starbo or photos of their own vehicle with it being done. Im pretty sure you need a hertz reading function. Doing the math with tire diameter, I know I should be getting 2900rpm. Once again thanks for the knowledge. cheers

Moves smoothly during acceleration Reads about 1800 from initial then calms down to about 1000

Hiya dont know if this helps but im running 17's with 40x205 tires and they have never scraped. plenty of gap in both front and rear arch wells.

It does sound pretty high. Driving on very smooth asphalt engine noise is definitely there, unlike my golf GTI which is noticeably far quieter (probably because its a golf) but when the golf is at 3900 it is far louder than starlet. Is it possible that the counter is having problems? It seems to read fine at idle approx 1000rpm. At 50kph in 4th gear reads around 2100rpm. Ive had a look round on the net, found that normal c56 gearbox has fifth ratio of 0.815 and diff ratio of 3.72. However have seen that the c52 box is a common straight swap. This box 3rd and 4th ratios are different but fifth

Yep is the turbo model. Sorry don't understand what you mean is stuck in 4th? How do I use the multimeter to check? Cheers for the help.

Hey ya guys just wondering how many revs your sitting at when doing 100kph. I'm doing about 3900 in fifth which seems really high. car is glanza v 1996 sitting on 17's with 205x40 tires. Just want to know if this is normal or if something is different. Ie does it have a different dif possibly or is the counter reading wrong or something else? Use the vehicle for 1000km plus road trips. Want to make sure car is not over working and burning to much fuel. Cheers
