The Glanza Tailgate or Rear Surround as we say requires a small amount of work to make it fit including holes that need to be made. Check Idree's Bananza for an idea of what is involved or get in touch with the man himself. Joz

You're welcome mate. Help and advice is always at hand when its needed, but feel free to take a direction of your own also. Keep the faith, save hard and you shall be rewarded Hope to see you in some forum discussions mate, you'll soon get used to it. Remember to explore the rest of the site as there is so much information to offer. Joz

Welcome to the site mate. Its great to see another enthusiastic N/A owner on the scene. Regarding the glanza headlights, they will fit but they are longer in size than the originals you have so the bonnet either wont close properly or look so odd it wont be worth it unless u get it modified. Its true to change the front end you will need all the parts or nothing at all. EP91 is our chassis/model code and refers to starlets produced from 1996 onwards through to 1999. The model one step down is called EP82 (turbo) / EP80 (non turbo) with the EP82 known as the infamous GT Turbo and ranges f

The Ep92/Ep82 TRD Quickshift has a reduced throw of 25%, this doesnt just mean the length of the shift bar but actually 25% less internally. Everyone who has one will agree that altho its a small reduction there is still a noticeable difference from stock. Its a worthy mod in my opinion and the gear knob that comes with it is worth £45-£50 alone so a good deal, altho I found it too chunky and got myself a JAM item. Catcha on msn Marc. Joz

I like it Eric, you have been really quiet mate. Hope you enjoy this new beast, spesh with the coilys etc. Really looks the part and a nice updated drive I bet whilst keeping the small chassis. Dont forget about your old red tho. You're always welcome here mate. All the best with the new project. Joz

Kevin I can't believe this has happened. I hope you get through it ok and the ep91 gets repaired as its such a waste of your good work. Please keep us informed. The best of luck. Joz

I can imagine Sicaln The Hedgehog, can even hear the damn music... Joz

Sorry but Im afraid I have no square envy, now stop polluting the thread simon. Joz

You look good Simon ;) , but not as good as my new homemade siggy Joz

Never liked them anyway "Belts (squares) are only there to hold your trousers up" - Bruce Lee. Joz

Thanks for the comments gents. Hope she gets through mot ok! Indeed lots of exciting developments, with some long overdue upgrades coming soon to totally finish the car, well for now anyway Joz

No interest from me Im afraid Joz

Hey Geo. Just donated mate I've been turned back to a non-mod so my pm box is heaving (145/50), please can you set my account back to a mod account. Would also like to be in the donated moderator group but can we change it to UKSC Insider Moderating Team lol ;), did Lianne manage to get that sent out? Talk soon Joz

Talk to Graeme (streetracer_starlet) who is about to do the conversion and Ian (Dub7Seven) who has done it. Sorted. Joz

Blimey a whole month without an update ;) MOT time near the end of the month and insurance renewal so just making sure she makes it through. Of course major mods are in the pipeline for all areas of the car and its just a matter of waiting for them to go on/arrive with some work already done , they won't disappoint and the n/a tuning bar shall be raised again Im afraid Will certainly need a new siggy... ;) Engine bay has been revamped and those who saw it at the meet, I hope you can gain some inspiration from it Peace Out Joz

No No Tintin that will never happen. Its the minority of one here, cutting springs is a cheap method but is also not worth it. If you care about your car and your own well being then do things properly. Joz

Nah its all good Scutchman! ;) Makes for good reading and content for the site anyhow and its not like we were talkin out our asses lol Hope your keeping well. Joz

I agree with most of your comments Rich, but its not just about the air filter itself, yes the purpose is to clean the air coming in, but the overall setup is also important and that is where Im getting at, its the mouth of your cars intake/breathing system and how it takes it in is important, yes the standard airbox is great with the k&n panel, but the air volume it takes in is minimal and crap and not even cold. I find with a setup where a higher volume of dense cold air is introduced to the intake, there is greater potential all round. Its not just about which type of filter is better

Im not going to get into a debate Rich but I must put some genuine points across ;) The 'carbon style' enclosed filters do not have the same characteristics as the proper bmc cda, the filter element goes all round inside the bmc cda as well as a patent contour design to help airflow turbulence whereas the copy has a universal shitty small cone. As well as the bmc cda being real carbon fibre that has better heat proofing properties than a universal carbon copy jobby which of course I have also tried Open filters are not the way, altho they make a nice sound they suck in all the engine bay he

I have to disagree with Rich on that last comment. The enclosed induction and cai setup was something you never tried on the n/a. The bmc cda is the top dog Ross. Just ask Phil Joz

After all this time I dont have your number either Sparks lol. I'll pm mine over now, pm yours back bro. And all the best with THE Big Day! Peace Joz

BMC CDA FTMFW!!! ;) Its also how your intake route is setup... that will make or break your performance gains or losses. You are damn right about the goodness of bmc nangle having tasted it yourself... Joz

Also people it didnt rain one drop whilst we were there, it actually brightened up really well. It was just the rain from the night before which was drying off ;) Joz

Raj mate, you seriously know the score lol! Great pics mate, I really like!! Top top work and its great to see some progress since your last update. Please please continue, and make sure to secure some glanza sides as they will near complete the package, as well as a rear bumper and splitter perhaps later on. Im sure this has given you the starlet modding bug all over again as she is such a splendid base to work on mate, I look forward to seeing this project continue... Joz
