Hi there - basically my car (96 Glanza V, stock engine, decat, exhaust and blitz k1 turbo), sat in my garage for 2 years only getting started and warmed up now and then. I did a fresh oil change before it was parked up so the oil did basically zero miles. The car is back on the road now but I noticed that when I checked the oil level on the dip stick, the oil stinks of fuel. I put that down to it sitting stationary for a long time so I drained the oil and flushed it thoroughly before refilling with fresh oil & filter. I've driven a couple hundred miles and the fresh oil is also now smelling of fuel - can anyone shed some light on why this may be? The engine runs amazing, compression tested today at 165-170 psi across all 4 cylinders - I just can't think other than say an injector stuck fully open (if this is even possible) how fresh oil could stink of fuel so soon after a change. I'd have expected ring lands or valve issues to show up during the compression test, but like I say I'm at a loss. The spark plug threads did have a bit of oil on them so I'm guessing the seals need replaced, as well as a leak from the rocker cover. The plugs themselves didn't look to be rich, in fact I'd say they looked on the leaner side. Cheers, Kev.

PM'd you bud

Hi there - before I end up buying new I'm looking for the mid sections off an HKS silent hi power for an EP91 Glanza, everything minus the backbox. I have the back box but don't think you can buy the mid sections new (unless I'm mistaken?). Thanks in advance.

Nice to see a build thread - have been following on FB and Instagram.

I'm looking for replacement bolt-on discs to suit the ST185 Celica GT5 single pot calipers on a Glanza - the discs are 277x25mm 4x100 for the 55 hub - can WMS still supply them?

Yeah most likely the best way or some sort of pup piece to alter the brackets slightly.

Hi folks, I've recently fitted an internally gated stainless Zisco CT9 manifold to my Glanza. The manifold fitted the block fine and attached to the turbo ok (although the studs were a different thread to the oem items where it connects to the turbo side), but I'm having issues when fitting the standard cat (for MOT) and decat which are both braced, where the two holes wont line up with the oem brace bracket on the block. Has anyone had this issue with aftermarket and specifically Zisco manifolds causing downpipe braces to be out of alignment? I have loosened the bracket from the block and the cat from the turbo, and with everything loose I can get all holes lined up and the bolts / nuts in and on - the only issue is then tightening that up will be stressing something as I'm forcing it to fit - my fear is that this could potentially be worse for the manifold than if it wasn't braced at all? Thanks, Kev.

The threads on the zisco ram horn are not the same as the oem toyota studs - yeah at the turbo side.

I've just fitted my K1, JAM ecu, Zisco ram horn and road runner decat - hopefully going to be a fun little setup. Got a blitz dual sbc and reckon 1 bar should give some nice performance.

Following, also noticed this on mine.

Yus ;D

Bump. Ideally a nice K1 or tongs but even a speedvision is OK.

Just seeing if anyone has a good internally gated ct9 hybrid for sale?

Hi there, I saw on FB the new carbon and FP bonnets which will be released; will information be found on here and will there be a group buy or anything like that? If so I'm in! Kev.

As per title, posted to Aberdeen. Thanks

Thanks again Nick much appreciated. I was wondering once the ABS delete kit is fitted can you remove the sensors which are connected to the hubs? Also does it bring up a check engine light on the dash? Cheers.

I'm looking to fit an ABS delete kit which I'm buying second hand so wont have how to instructions etc. I was just wondering if it's easy enough to fit with the engine in? Most installation threads I've seen are people doing it whilst the bay is empty.

Just another quick question, I also have these OEM pedals. The clutch and brake were easy to install as the original rubber ones come off but the accelerator pedal wont; how did you install that one? Just drill through the rubber to mount the metal ones?

Nice one, and it fuels it fine? That's quite interesting to know as I thought the JAM ecu was ideal for CT9 / Hybrid setups and TD04 at a push.

Are you running that turbo kit with the JAM ECU?

Nice one, thanks bud.

I'm looking for a Varis front bumper ideally in silver if anyone has for sale?

Agreed, there really isn't anything for the starlets up this way at all.

I'm still after one if anybody has for sale, been searching for over a year. I will collect.

Sorted thanks bud.
