Ok cheers mate.

Dont suppose you know what bulb Id need?

Thanks.

Oz

Hahaha,

Just tried to do this myself.

Do I need to remove the cluster to change the bulbs behind the speedo?

Also, does anyone know what bulbs I need? Its the one that lights up the left hand side of the speedo.

Someone should do a how too to get the cluster out, I found there was a bit of play to pull it out a couple of inches, but couldnt get to the looms.

Cheers,

Oz

Me possibly,

Im on tour, but that date hasnt been booked so will be staying in strood and could pop down..

Well my car failed it's mot on the handbrake cables, so have now replaced them, and not had any problems with freezing on etc.

Feels good to know I can stop on hills now lol!

Oz

Does anyone know what the peak revs are for the 4efte? 6800 or something?

When I had mine dyno'd, the HP peaked at 6,616 revs. In reality though, it feels nasty changing after 6K. I'd set it to about 5.5K or whatever feels right.

Car looks great mate!

What FMIC is that? could you nudge it to sit straight?

Keep up the good work.

Oz

Is that an Auto or manual V?

Might be making a difference as the pic someone else put up from confused.com was for an Auto.

I just renewed through "insurance factory";

pretty happy with that

Hey man,

thanks for your reply.

Sounds pretty straight forward, I'll order some hinges from Toyota (£28 each plus vat) if I can't find any from breakers and get cracking.

Cheers,

Oz

Hey,

How easy is it to change the hinge on a door?

My drivers door is really loose needs a new hinge. Can I order one from Toyota? Would a UK starlet hinge fit? Is it a simple fix?

Cheers,

Oz

Thats a corolla mani isnt it?

Oz

the low boost mode is actually for economical driving tbh

Thats not strickly true. It was developed for when traction was needed in the mountains etc. Says so in the Jap manual.

Try doing a tank on lo boost, then a tank on hi boost and seeing the difference. For me, I could get 250 miles on a tank with lo boost, 280 on high. I know Im not the only one who found this too.

Did the pipe switcharoo to derestrict mine, and havent the cars much more fun in 1st and 2nd.

Oz

Hey Phil,

Amazing job on the conversion!

Def one of the best looking EP91s Ive ever seen!

Oz

Drive, any pics of your intercooler setup? Sounds good!

Out of interest, has anyone put together a custom intercooler?

Seems that what would be ideal (for the budget concious) would be the HDI piping (i like the fact it doesnt go under) with a smaller intercooler. From having a quick look at my Glanza96, if the intercooler was shorter (still suspended off the slam bar), it could sit above where the bumper comes in.

Ebay has loads of universal intercoolers, couldnt someone just fab the pipes and = perfection?

Oz

My car rarely goes over 80mph. I'm too scared of points.

Ditto!

The fun is the accelaration for me.

Oz

The light must come on with like 10 litres left then

Exactly what I found. Good to know tho.

Oz

Nice work man,

Good luck with getting the 4efte sparking.

Will keep an eye out for you in the roads! (I work in folkestone).

Oz

I love these cars!

Those front seats are stunning! Fancy some cloth glanza seats in there instead? lol

Oz

Lol Im doing this in a few weeks! At Kirkby tho.

360 is my all time fav car, so cant bloody wait!

Looks awesome, hope I get to rag the beast too!

OZ

Just amazing

What front splitter is that? Ive seen a few v's with them, noticed theyre always on the facelift bumpers, do they fit a 96 bumper?

Keep up the good work.

Oz

EP91's have a 45 litre tank.

Sounds about right to me.

Oz

Get about 270 miles out of mine, and thats leaving some spare, no fuel light etc.

I reckon my glanzas good for close to 300 miles on a tank (run dry), but my tank is def not 33 litres, as i usually fill it up 34/35 litres!

I reckon its got a 40 litre tank.

Oz

It is

It scared me when I went in it

Im jealous!

I can only dream of how savage 300whp would be!

Oz

when you have changed the pads over and are putting it back together you need to compress the piston so it will fit over the new pads,

to do this get a G clamp and put it in the piston and the other side on the back of the caliper and titan it up then it will fit over.

do not need to do anything with the fluid and never drain it

Cool, thanks for the reply. Thats good news!

So I dont need to touch the brake fluid resevour cap?

Cheers ,

Oz

Resurecting an old thread as Im changing my front pads, and thought Id make sure I (almost) know what Im doing.

remove braked fluid res. cap and gently push back piston in caliper (be careful not to nip the seal)

Could someone explain this bit in a little more detail?

Do I need to drain the fluid or anything?

If someone could give me a detailed walk through, that would be awesome!

Cheers,

Oz

It's still running at 1.2 bar and its MORE than enough! believe me its scary with the power it has

No doubt mate, bet its a monster!
