Hey again guys. Its back on the road so thought Id give this an update for anyones future reference It turned out to be a fried king ignition cable. It had actually melted the wire next to the distributor and was sparking. Replaced it and its sweet now. will upload a pic or two when i can. Thanks again guys!

Appreciate these other responses guys. The engine management light doesn't come on when it happens and I've not ruled out it could be HT leads or plugs so im hoping to replace these asap too. I've read that way of describing fuel cut before and i wouldnt say this is the same.. first time it happened I actually thought I'd hit a pot hole and it'd popped out of gear somehow. Im looking more into it as i type but I've noticed today it happens at 4k revs specifically and last time i got a big pop from the exhaust too. I'm not gonna be driving it daily till this is sorted now as im s

This makes perfect sense as I've had the car from about may. Yes! a boost gauge sounds like a wise investment. amazingly quick reply man. Thanks :)

Hi guys I've started to get an issue recently and im not sure if it's fuel cut related. I'm puttin my foot down, the car starts to accelerate, all 3 boost lights come on( ), but then the car seems to judder for a second and I lose all acceleration until I pull my foot off the pedal and put it back down again (although my instinct is to do this straight away so i can't really say if it would stay off or kick back in). It doesn't seem to happen when I accelerate more gently even to full boost. It's most notable in 2nd gear I guess beause of the revs/boost building up faster but I've h

Ive had no luck with this still so if any one has one let me know

Hi guys. title says it all really not sure if the shelf is the same for all 96 onward starlets? Doesnt need to be uncut as long as its just a standard 6x9 speaker fitting as that the plan anyway. Pm me if you've got one going

Thanks mate. yeah coming up as £16.59 Not used this website for but think im using it in the right way. I've sent a request over to them anyway so fingers crossed

Apologies guys I know there are a few threads relating to this already. I've just been on the phone to my local toyota parts centre and after telling me they could get one for about £21 posted they've told me its been discontinued... Most of the posts about this say its about the £15 mark and people don't seem to have trouble getting one :s Am I calling the wrong toyota garage here or has the price been updated and then just discontinued. can anyone shed some light on this?

So here we go.. managed to get hold of a 96 model within my price range (ish) ;) and around 70k on the clock Been driving it for about a week and loving every second. At the moment I'm going to just try and restore her to her former glory and get rid of any cracks/chips on the paintwork and touch up the inside a tad. only one bad photo I'm afraid.

Thanks dude appreciate the help

Ahh wondered if it was bought by someone on here and if I'd see it again. Just had a quick look at your thread about it. Glad to see its destined for big things! New question for any users here. Have been coming across Japanese auction sheets and wondering if anyone has been able to find a way to translate the Inspectors comments. I managed to look up the annotations listed on the cars for scratches, dents and rust etc but am pretty sure they write up mechanical faults with the car in a particular box on the sheet. anybody come across this before?

Thanks bud. The car was sold by the time I got back to the guy so first come first served I guess Anyone selling a white glanza (pref post facelift but not a dealbreaker) with little or no mods give us a shout!

Ok cheers mate. Link for the car in question here. Have also found the seller listed under a different name on facebook here. So they've said no to a compression test.. They've stated their reasons as "to do a compression test is not appropriate as the top mount intercooler need to be removed and also spark plugs" Not sure if they're trying to avoid it here or just concerned about someone unqualified carrying out the test and causing a problem.... no way to know for sure I guess but it doesn't sound great. My uncle is hopefully going to see the car soon to

Morgey - Appreciate this mate, Its from the Birmingham area this one. wish I had a longer response to show gratitude for the advice, Thanks. Soz mate looking for white and being picky about that. I've looked this up online and its difficult to get a proper answer. Agree probably best to avoid the no warranty though. They said it was because most dealers offer a third party warranty and due to the price of the car (being below 10k) it wasn't worth it for them... sounded dodge to me at the time. Haha, little reluctant to do this in case its a sec

Hi guys Have been thinking of getting a Glanza for a while now and finally test drove one nearbyish the other day - of course I now have to own one. I'm no car expert so just need some advice on how much I should be looking to spend, The difference in quality between different sellers and your experiences with buying your Glanzas. I'm looking for a (mostly) unmodified Glanza V. The one I test drove the other day had 80k (KM) on the clock and is going for £4000. Its a fresh import but with no BIMTA certified milleage or history, Its not from a well known dealer and the guy couldn't
