yeah that is impressive Morgey... Are you trying to tell me to sell my Glanza and get a Seat Cupra lool

Yes mate, that's a good point. I pulled up next to a 120d the other day next to a traffic light and he was giving it large so I spanked him silly when the lights turned green. Then I got thinking...what if that was an M3 or something lol, it would be cool to destroy AMG's and M3's in a little starlet as standard procedure.

May be a bit of a silly question but I was wondering....how hard is it to make a Starlet GT/Glanza go from 0-60mph in under 5 seconds? Anyone achieved it? Thanks

Chops, if you want this, I can get it for you and bring it down when we do conversion...

Sorry mate. I've bought the decat

Hi guys, Looking for a steering wheel boss for my Glanza. Thanks

haha Matt, thanks for your message pal! I thought you had forgotten all about it mate, that's why I've commited to convert mine to a manual. EP82 Starlet GT LSD box going in end of this year hopefully pal. Yes mate, I'm interested. Can you PM me with details and pics?? Are the TRD ones using Oil or Gas???? EP91sleep... Are you not gonna be using them then? Get in touch if you wanna sell me them mate, send me a PM (y)

Mart, yeah mate, I really don't want to put the entire set up on and then not be happy with the way the car sits and handles.. I think coilovers is the only option really.. Daniel, my bushes are completely shot so they will need replacing. Do you think standard bushes will be better then? Is anti lift kit worth installing? I've read they work miracles..

Recommend and will buy from him again! Bought a couple of parts of this dude on collection and they were exactly as described and priced reasonably. Very friendly, humble and genuine person who was extremely helpful to me and took time out to show/explain some technical stuff, as I'm a noob with these cars. Look forward to working with you on converting my auto to a manual very soon buddy. Keep an eye out for his build thread, he's got some very exciting stuff planned for his GT build!

5T4R7ET N/A... You live in Luton so I can only imagine what you go through, can't be good mate haha. I live on the outskirts of Leicestershire so the roads are pretty good around here. Theres always gonna be some speed bumps where ever you go though and that's where I want some flexibility. I don't want a rock hard set up that will make loud knocking noises whenever I do go over bumps but id still like them to be firm enough for it to hug the road and for driving feedback. I'm also planning to fit anti-lift kit, anti-roll bars and powerflex bushes all around when I get the chance pal,

Looks amazing mate, what a beautiful colour! See ya tomorrow matey

Starlet_SR, I know what you getting at mate. I'm going to be fitting them myself so will save a few quid then. I don't want to buy standard shocks and lowering springs all around and then the handling to still be as horrendous as before with the only result making it a little bit lower.

haha, thanks Ollieh17. I reckon I'm going to go with coilovers too.. I don't mind it being a little bit stiff but I just don't want it to be so stiff that it starts making loud knocking noises every time I go over a small bump etc..

Starlet_SR, you've definitely given me something to think about. £420 is considerably less than the £820 I'm looking at for MiesterR coilovers! Morgey... yes mate, the civic is stiff af stock, I can only imagine how much stiffer it would be on coilovers! Definitely going to look further into the different springs offered by BC, I'm guessing you'd have to order direct for those options...

Have you got them installed on yours Daniel?? Haha I was like 90% sure it was some mad rumor.

I've driven my friends Glanza which has BC coilovers. They were on the car when he bought them so he doesn't know which springs they are. The back of his car is stripped so this may have made it seem worse than it was but it felt too stiff. He also has rear OEM strut brace and rear anti roll bar so that would have also contributed to the stiffness. I will add that they were great on good roads with no bumps or pot holes, the terrain feedback is excellent. But I just felt they were too stiff for roads where you have to be civilized... I'd really like to go out for a ride in a Glanza with M

Morgey, thanks for sharing some figures with us. Are 6f/4r standard springs that come with BC's? Or are they slightly softer? 5f/3r does sound more appealing, I'm guessing they're the softest on offer? When you put it like that, it's probably not worth considering shocks with lowering springs then

Ah right, so BC offer softer springs upon request? I had no idea mate, Is there much more excess to be paid on top for that service.. Yes, I'd definitely expect them to be alot stffer than shocks. But I'd like them to still be usable and not make the car rattle relentlessly and not have to jump up in my seat over speed bumps. I will still need to take my Mum grocery shopping and she gives me enough headache about my driving as it is.. also, I read somewhere that Miester R's are rebranded BC's but not too sure how much truth there is to that. Would have thought they are totally different as th

Thanks Nick, will taker a closer look. I've read many people say that BC coilovers are too stiff? I'd like coilovers that are abit more road/speed bump friendly which can be adjusted for track use. Maybe you could shed some light on the BC's? Thanks

I was asking that cheeky bugger if I could collect all week last week including the day you collected and he kept telling me he was busy and that he'd save them for me! haha No problem mate, I hope you get good use out of them, enjoy (y)

Well right now, I don't feel safe putting my foot down even on the smallest of bends. The handling is shocking. It's a standard set up with standard springs atm, and the oil has pretty much leaked completely out of the rear shocks making it, in short, a death trap lol. A pot hole can send the car in a whole new direction lol. I do plan to build for more power so coilovers will future proof, but the costs of having coilovers will probably delay that haha. Damping and Height adjustments are definitely a big bonus. Thanks for the encouragement mate, I will probably have them ordered end o

Ahead of pay day, I am planning to purchase some MiesterR Coilovers. However I have read that some people have gone down the route of buying standard suspension with teIn/RSR lowering springs. Anyone had any experience with either and would you say the extra investment in coilovers is worth the difference in handling setup? Thanks

sold yesterday mate

Sounds like your idle control valve mate. Give it a clean (y)
