  1. Totally agree with you there mate. Yes it looks sweet having it nice and low. But the ride has suffered badly, they werent exactly soft before! I thought the roads in Bristol werent too bad untill I put these on. Now you notice how shite british roads really are! I'll give it some thought but I may just go back to my standard shocks and Trd springs and get some whiteline anti roll/lift products on the go. I've heard these make such a difference without sacrificing the ride quality. Having said this, these cuscos are simply insane round corners, it reminds me of was my mates caterham seven,
  2. Well its now splitterless and the bumper has seen better days for sure . It'll be sorted in good time though. Meanwhile: Coilys = Slammage + Back pains after a short trip to sainsburys. Cheers, Alex
  3. Cheers mate, I was loving it too untill I bumped into a rather large curb the other day . The splitter was made from fibreglass so is now pretty much unrepairable, cracked and split in multiple places . When I have the time and funds I will get a new one made and painted up.
  4. Thanks mate, I agree it defo needs a good clean. I gave it a go a while back but theres some real stubborn dirt in there! The Jam ecu was sold a few weeks back now.
  5. Cheers man, likewise with yours!
  6. I'll be keeping a look out for you then matey! How come you're not taking the GT?
  7. It's been sometime since I updated my cars thread! To say a fair bit has changed would be putting it lightly, I have never spent so much money in the space of 3 months in my life! lol Ok so here goes. New mods to date include: Toy Tuning Air Filter Relocation kit. Good mod, noticable gains from it straight away, but the dreaded boost creeep! Luckily my Jam ecu was there to fuel it as it wasnt even breaching 14psi. I did think I could really do with a hybrid though, I thought maybe next year perhaps . Indiglo Dials: Courtesy of Mr. Burwash. They look gorgeous, once you see them you need th
  8. Yep, all pipes joiners and clamps come with the kit, everything needed to install it! You can get the kits from Dane aka Starlet Part Shop on the TGTT forum. The kit relocates the blow off valve vent tube from the pipe coming off the turbo. It is now placed up near the throttle body which improves bov response. If you have an HKS bov, you will not need to worry about the stock recirc as I presume it will have been removed, you will simply move the hks dumpy to its new position which may involve getting a new silcone reducer pipe made as the HDI bov vent has a 30mm diameter iirc (stock is 1
  9. Just letting you know I'm defo up for this! Just need to get time off work which shouldn't be too much of a problem by the way, although I'm on the list as Alex GT, I do in fact drive a Glanza! Looking forward to meeting you lot soon! Cheers, Alex
  10. If you want a straight forward (if a little mundane) woosh, Blitz SS bov. If you want a high pitched squeak, HKS SSQV. They sound almost the same inside the car, only slightly muffled as you would expect. They should sound pretty much the same on all cars, its how they've been adjusted via the spring screw that determinds how they sound. Running more boost, makes the dump more violent and therefore louder, the spring will need to be adjusted accordingly to produce a certain sound. 12psi on my Greddy Type S sounds pretty loud and gives off a nice squeek. My Blitz SS was pretty straight forw
  11. I was just in the middle of making this choice a week ago, Autobahn or HDI. Tbh the only thing that swayed me towards the autobahn kit that there are identical copies for sale on ebay for £215 delivered so I was tempted out of impatience lol. I also wasn't worried about the stock bov position so that wasnt an issue. Prices aside though, between the two it would be HDi no question. I think the autobahn piping route is nonsensicle (going right over the hot manifold past the hot cat and radiator/fan cant be great for intake temps!) and it contains multiple sharp bends which doesnt help
  12. Just ordered one of these last night from Dane. Can't wait to get it fitted! ;) I took a look at Danes kit hes just been sent, the quality and design of the core looks superb. It may look big, but Its not very tall (more of an elongated oblong shape) which may explain its ability to flow gases efficiently, leading to minimal lag. The piping route, looks good too and the clamps aren't cheap ones that pop off like some do. For the money, I reckon theyre pretty hard to beat Imo. As for the bumper fitting, I think its gonna be tough to avoid trimming the bumper when you install any fmic, By the
  13. You weren't wrong when you said it was a mint one mate. Will look sweet with my rims on too! Good luck with it ;)
  14. Hi mate, Do you have a dizzy cap too? How much do you want for the Rotor? I can get both the cap and the rotor for £30 from ebay, I just wanted them today which looks unlikely now as I doubt halfords will stock a glanza cap and rotor!
  15. Hi guys, As per the title, are the Dizzy Cap and Rotor Arms the same on the Glanza as a Uk spec N/A Starlet? Cheers, Alex
  16. I know how you feel mate, I have a Decat pipe begging to be fitted, but I know if I do it will boost-creep too much!
  17. Wicked, its gonna be sweet then I want a mani lol
  18. Very nice mate, I like the look of the plan too. Are you planning on running 1bar on a standard manifold and cat perchance?
  19. If anyone has heard of Gunk products, they are great for engine and parts degreasing. I bought a spray version from halfords a while back, did a fine job on my previous cars engine bay! That Citrus degreaser looks good too Rick, will give that a go on the Glanz as my Gunk is out lol
  20. Nice pics mate, looks like you had an awesome time! Aiya Napa is a fun place to be. What resort did you stay at out of interest? As for the Glanzas, good spotting! You managed to find loads. I only saw a few Gs when I visited my Dad there a few weeks ago. Plenty of GTs though! Heres one of them not to far from Napa actually: Thats my cypriot brother Kostas in the background lol
  21. Ah yes I remember reading a thread a while ago about that, totally slipped my mind! Sounds like you'll be more than ready for it then mate. Let us know how you get on with it
  22. lol, It cant be that bad! Some good replies people. I read about that knickname "the flyer" somewhere. Was just wondering if Glanza literally meant Flyer.
  23. Hi guys and gals, A lady friend of mine asked me the other day "what does Glanza mean?", to which I replied, I don't know, probably sausages. It made me think is there an actual meaning to the word or is it some clever model marketing speil that some witty Jap came up with when the Glanza was on the drawing board at Toyota? Is it a translation of a Japanese word perhaps? Your thoughts please.
  24. So this is gonna be your first car? If so, Dayum! Take your time getting used to it mate, they're not slow lol Good luck with the theory mate
