your attention to details looks pretty spot on! take it you dont do that many miles in your v man.

also loving that retrimed center armrest and the apexi with the wee revcounter in it. luvly

Thanks for moving the thread Enzo. I pay a lot of attention to detail alright. I would prefer to do it once and do it properly. I dont put many miles on it, but you can be sure I will once I finish I bought an AE86 Twin Cam a few weeks ago for my current everyday drive until this is finished. I miss boost! The armrest was done by Ecksjay on the forum, and his work is top notch. I just looking forward to getting the engine build underway and the parts fitted at this stage. If it comes out as well as yours I will be happy

Christ, looks like youve spent some money there mate. lovely car, not many red ones about.

Nice bov, is that the s or rs?

I have an s sitting in my room

Mitch

Serious money invested there, fair play. And you bought a twincam! The lotto is great isnt it! Gona be in Dundalk next month for last phease of college, might meet up and get a look!?

Jason

Thats no problem. I will be able to give you a look at the twin cam and the Glanza if it is back on the road.

I have been a member on here long enough so its about time I finally got round to setting up my members garage page.

These are the pictures taken at the time when I purchased the car:

The car had came with CT9 Hybrid Turbo, Manifold, Decat, Blitz Nur Spec Exhaust, HKS SSQV , FMIC, JAM ECU, Apexi AVCR, Apexi SAFC NEO and Walbro Fuel pump so the car wasnt by any means slow

My long term plan was always to forge the engine and get the most out of the 4EFTE, so I set about collecting the parts straight away. Here is some pictures of what I have got my hands on so far:

I then decided that I was also going to need a few styling changes aswell. So I reached for my wallet again:

With the new set up I was planning, handling was also going to be very important so I invested in the following:

The car is curently parked up awaiting the final few pieces before the work is carried out on the forged rebuild. The full spec list and parts I have already purchased and are waiting to be fitted is as follows:

Update:

PHASE 1 BEGINS:

So work finally began on the car over the last few days. A big thanks goes to Dan for removing the engine from the car for me. All the lights have now been removed from the car - and will be replaced with new ones.

The rear has been stripped out, and I have removed the front bumper, rear bumper, sideskirts and spoiler. My bumper has also been sent of to Aidan@EPstyling to have the rea lip attached. The car is now ready to have the new body parts fitted and be fully resprayed in its original red colour. The engine will also be sent off to the engineers as my cruise headgasket has arrived this week

Here are some pics:

More updates to follow soon. Watch this space

looks like a uk spec? very nice man love 86's how u find it then compared with the starlet?

The RWD takes a bit of getting used to but I love it. Its not to everyones taste but I'm delighted with it. I havnt drivin the Glanza in a while as it is getting some work done, but there is no comparison with the boost and dump valve of the Glanza!

looks like a uk spec? very nice man love 86's how u find it then compared with the starlet?

Its Jap spec with a few UK style mods

Nicee!!

Grew up around the UK spec AE's so love them :harhar:

Still got the Glanza??

I still have the Glanza alright. Would not part with it. Its going to have the engine forged in the next few weeks for my TD04 set up Cant wait. Then I will get to fit all the new parts that I have purchased for it

I picked this up last week. Im delighted with it. Any opinions welcome

CLEANED THE CAM

I got my new Clifford concept alarm with Blackjax system installed. I also got my stickers for the doors andbrackets for the fog lights made up.

More updates to follow soon.

The standard offset on toyota glanza alloys is ET 37/38 but I would like to know if ET31 will still fit ok on a Glanza? The alloy type is Advan RG and they are 16 inches in size and 7 inches in width?

All help is very much appreciated

Welcome to UKSC. Happy posting

Welcome to UKSC. Happy posting

The runners on that mani are far tooooo short. Good for a all out drag car, but not for a streeter. Something around the 3/4 length mark of the original runners would give you a better balance between top end and bottom end.

Obviously a larger plenum would go along aswell.

Im hoping to have a prototype inlet manifold done in the next couple of months for a friends glanza, will post up pics and results from it.

That should be interesting. Keep us updated

Dave Burwash I believe at starletgtturbo.com, £550 IIRC

Go to Gaz's EP85 4x4 5EFTE build page he has one

He bought his privately on TGTT but it could be worth asking one of the traders.

They are easy to fit alrite, but injectors alone will not increase BHP. If you put 330cc injectors on a stock or mild tuned starlet without an uprated ecu is a crued way of upping the fuel, as is a fuel regulator kit. It would be best to get some kind of engine managment if you want to change injectors, so as to get the fuel where it needs to be and not just running rich all the time. You will not need 550cc injectors as that will be overkill. What is your current set up and what power are you hoping for?

anyone reccomned owt? dont really want to have to hack bits of the bumper etc, so looking for one thats pretty straight forward to fit?

ta

Hi Mate,

These seem to be a good bit of kit for the money, and the guys on TGTT recommend them for there ep82:

EP82 Intercooler

Feedback On this Intercooler

Hope this helps

It will probably be best to go for a set of forged pistons while you are changing rather than retaining the stock Toyota pistons. It would be best to replace all of them when you are at it. With this in mind, you could go for a set of 74mm or 74.5mm bore and get the block bored for fitment if going for oversize. If going for forged pistons, I would recommend going for Ross or Weisco dished pistons.

At least that way, you would not have to do it further down the line if you change your plans and decide to go for more power. The traders currently offer good prices on the forged pistons too.

Hi Colin,

To look with the eye, make sure that the diaphragm or housing arent cracked. The best way to test if it opens ok and what pressure it opens at would be to do the following:

Put a compressor with a pressure guage or a standard air pump with guage into the wastegate hole at the bottom of the wastegate. Then apply some pressure from the pump into the wastegate and keep an eye on the guage on the pump/compressor.

When the Wastegate is full open you can read the gauge and you know that the wastegate works and when the wastegate will open.

I hope this helps

That was a great vid Joz, thanks for posting

Thats a mint example- love the red ones myself- but i'm a bit biased !

Was the ZEP engine damper hard to fit?

I just love the new rims fella! Pity I cant get a set for mine

Cracking Glanza! I cant get over how clean it is- well done!!
