10 foot man

not yet bed in properly but can already start to feel an improvement!

Here we go, had the car below for may be three weeks now. Just fitted new front brakes yesterday, just thought i would take a few pics and show the magic work of BMW mechanics (cheers lads), we fitted 3G 10 groove discs and mintex 1144 pads. Before Mintex 1144 pads 3G discs Fitted, oh yeah. This weekend we will be changing the rear brakes but for standards all round. Fingers crossed more to come in the not so distant future.

As the title says any meets happening??

lol, well you out much around swindon

yeah, they have changed there site now.

Cheers all service has been completed just fitting a new cv boot and couple of other little things to be sorted. New brakes turn up monday:p

Will get it done asap!!

It make a massive difference??

Cheers dude i will have a look at this, at the weekend

If all is ok, they look like some good prices, hope they stil have some in a couple of months

Bugger wish i knew this, just spent nearly 80quid on a cv boot form my local toyota

I have heard on a local forum that i am part of that some one said you can remove a boost restriction for the turbo on a ep91 in 1st and 2nd...heres the quote "the Glanza has turbo boost restriction in the 1st and 2nd gears, but it is common knowledge amongst enthusiasts that this safety measure can be easily over-ridden. This model has the same power output as the starlet GT at 133bhp and also uses the CT9 turbo" Any one know if this is possible and if so is it safe?

oh sweet that makes it like 45 quid cheaper for the discs.

Thanks mate, that helps loads. That would make the centre bore diameter 54

so when i am asked whether it is 238mm or 254 m disc?

Is there away of telling what disc i have with out actually measuring it, its a ep91 glanza 1997?? ;)

Ha, no problem. you part of ts-cc

Oh right, did not know that, are we also talking mega bucks for the piggy back ECU??

Cheers all and in respect for the wheels managed to pic two new one and tyres for 150 quid, not bad me thinks!

Right i have finally got one, a nice example of an ep91. She is as near as dam it standard apart from the wheels, a blitz dump valve, turbo timer and an induction kit. I have many plans for her, i have seen some of these producing a good 280bhp+ but don't think i will be spending that sort of money. Firstly she is got a service today, and how awquard is it to get to the oil filter!, we have fitted new iridum spark plugs, new bubs oil etc. Whilst at halfords picking some pits up i decided to do the front speakers as well and bought some kicker 10cm speakers which aren't to bad. Then fingers crossed this month if money permits i am purchasing some shocks and springs i have roughly £300-£350 to spend if any one can make suggestions feel free, and in the not so distant future there will be new brakes ( which will be next month) a full exhaust system and a re-map. I would also like to get a complete front re-spray and she is stone chipped to hell, and a few other things like new stickers and maybe some clear indicators. Excuse the pics they were only taken quickly.

LOL that would be me but sorry to disappoint i am not a girl!

No i have seen that one, mine is the metallic blue/silver p reg

"Just a personal preference thing but if it was me I'd get rid of those rediculous (in my opinion) spoilers, and get a standard Glanza one. Other than that it looks amazing, no other word for it, love the colour and love the wheels." I agree on that one.

Thats a bugger, cheers dude!

Looks sweet, good quality photos too!!
