Toby, Will a standard manifold cope with near 1 bar (14-15psi) boost pressure as long as the fueling is safe? I have a Jam Ecu previously setup on a CT9 hybrid and would just like to know how far I can take it before I get a M/S mani on in september. After relocating my air filter to the front bumper, it's holding boost (on one of your actuators), untill revs reach about 5-6krpms, then it creeps slowly to 14psi, but very rarely goes over that. I'd like to get it boosting to a bar consistently, but am concerned whether the mani will cause issues with the engine etc (70k miles on the clock).

Mine was a loooooong trip to my best mates house, about 400 metre round trip I think. It was tough..... lol, seriously though, when him and I went to pick it up when he bought it last year, it was a fair trip, Taunton to Cardiff. But no where near as far as some of you guys have travelled! The things we do for our Starlets eh? ;)

Sounds good, I read about the problem you had, how untimely! Keep us posted mate.

Wow, that clutch looks beautifully made! I guess it had better be for the price! Bet you can't wait to finally run the car without the clutch slipping. ;) by the way I have a Jam Ecu now, very happy with it Got a front filter location kit coming on friday from toy tuning, how does yours perform mate? Alex

Cool, thought so! Cheers mate

Fitted it today! I decided to go out and get a decent socket set which helped a great deal. Eventually, removing the a/c radiator was the thing that helped in the end, that allowed me access to it without fiddling with the powersteering pump. Bloody ac gas gave me a shock Rick! ;) However I did find that it is very hard to adjust the actuator past the standard 10 psi mark (near the end of the thread). When I screw it in a few times, the pin simply won't reach the hole in the wastegate servo arm as its fully closed. Is there something I'm missing? Do I have to pull the actuator arm out to m

Cheers for your help guys, will get on it. I have to say, taking the power steering pump off seems like the best idea as I dont then have to drain the damn rad. Is the aux belt tensioner part of the ps pump? I guess I have to loosen it to get the belt off, then remove the two bolts holding the ps pump on? Are the ps bolts gonna be a pig to loosen too?

Hi there, I had a go at fitting my toy tuning acutator yesterday but had no luck getting the old one off. It seems the two 12mm bolts holding it onto the turbo dont want to budge at all. Its pretty tricky getting to them with a ratchet as the powersteering pump is right next to it and the radiator gets slightly in the way too. Are the bolts definately anticlockwise unscrewing or are they wierd clockwise ones. I started to round the lower one off when using a normal 12mm spanner at which point I stopped. I've sprayed them with lubricant too but the damn things are subborn. I think the probl

Hids ftwz And I never doubted the authenticity of your set, although I haven't seen them in person so wouldn't know for sure!

Hehe, I live there too! (or used to till I went to uni in Bristol last september)

Cheers mate, yeh definately, plenty of ideas going through my mind. I think I'm gonna go down the good old Hybrid route. Once I get my Jam Ecu tomorrow that will get the ball rolling. Fueling is the most important thing to sort first engine wise imo, and a Jam will hopefully be just the ticket to support future mods! Coilovers, new tyres, better discs and pads are a must too, just need the moolah lol Still cant believe I finally own a Glanza! I just picked her up from South West Transmissions, she had a problem with the clutch and the rear input bearing, I discovered I had a Trd Sports Facin

Hi there guys, Heres my new car, I've had it a week now but its been in my life for a year and a half as it belonged to my best mate. I have been with it from the day we picked it up from where it had been imported. Since then I have learnt a fair bit about starlets, but mainly in the last 2 months I have been going research crazy! I am still learning though, but Im glad I found this forum, its been so helpful, particular thanks goes to Jones36, TC Ricky, Dave Burwash, Dane from SPS Bristol and everyone else who has helped me out with various things Mods so far include (or ones that are go

What can I say mate, I absolutely love this car! I have just bought a Silver Glanza and just cant wait to drive it (its in the bodyshop for 2 weeks for a full respray). ;) Watching this project develop is an inspiration, top job! I feel like a bit of a bastard copycat though, as i have just bought a set of gun-metal grids, admittedly as a result of seeing photos of your car! ;) I was gonna go for some gold ones to be different but a mint second hand set came up for a price I couldnt pass up. About the Jam Ecu, how much did you pay for yours and would you consider it worth every penny you p

Cheers mate, I thought as much. Was suprised to hear you were running a standard manifold at the time! If I do get one I'll be very carefull thats for sure, thanks for the info.

Nice Ep82 mate, will look mint when the paints finished! About the Bee-R, when you say it pied the engine/turbo what exactly do you mean? I am thinking of buying one of these jobbies for my Glanza V. Is it safe to use? I wouldn't want to cause any damage to the engine or turbo but I like the idea of launch control/antilag and have seen one for sale, very tempted. Any help would be appreciated mate. Good luck with finishing the paint off.

Cheers mate, I think I have a good idea of what to sort out first. And Hks Actuator and FPR will be the first engine mods for me. Otherwise I think Im gonna look into getting some sort of respray done to make it like new again and get some nice wheels. I cant decide which Rotas will look the best, they are all so nice! Lightweight too.....Grids?.....Gr8s?.....Slipstreams?..Not sure yet lol

I thoroughly doubt it. by the way, very nice Glanza you've got there mate

lol, I doubt you'll need to worry about that mate. Chav lights are far from my mind, unless my free stabbing comes with a lynching and burning at the stake in which case Ill be hunting a set down! Seriously though, Where abouts are you from mate? How far away is up the road? I need to know how long I will have from the time you see the thread "chek out me new blingin lights" to the time your knife comes into contact with me! lol

lol, lexus lights? On a Toyota (who make Lexus cars)? You must be joking! I quite like the style of ones you have mate, they look smart. What variant are they? Cheers, Alex

Well, it looks like my 25 is sold now, its pending full payment atm. Here are a few pics of my future beasty I have lined up. Its got a few things to sort out i.e the front bumper and possibly the passenger door need a respray/repair due to paint defects/flaking, but other than that its pretty mint. The owner (my best mate) insured me on it for a few days and let me take it out to see what its like. I must admit its pretty awesome! Its just so satisfying to drive and so sweet feeling the acceleration, while feeling safe and well grounded on the road. Put a huge smile on my face and its compl

Cheers mate, I think I've found a suitable one. It belongs to my best mate. He only decided to sell it recently and he wants a fair price for it. He's taken good care of it too (regular and thorough servicing etc) so I think Im taking the plunge at the end of next month. I've had some luck with getting a good quote too so all is going well so far.

Hi, I'm Alex, 19, from Taunton and at UWE in Bristol. This is my current car which will be for sale soon to make way for a Glanza! I cant wait to start on a new project. Everytime I go in my mates Glanza it puts a massive smile on my face, theyre just so rapid! Will keep you posted in the weeks to come! Cheers, Alex
