Thanks. I really want to keep it and save it for trackdays etc but the wife (and finances) say it's got to go Still stayed Jap tho...Well sort of! Steve

Firstly - Sorry to the mods for dredging this thread from the depths! lol! Secondly - Due to being SOOOOO busy with work etc I haven't updated this (or indeed been on here) for ages Thirdly - There are now some new parts to add to this thread - Meister R Zeta R Coilovers, EBC Brakes, Braded Brake Lines and 5.1 fluid plus the usual service bits/ belts. The wheels have changed to a set of OE Speedlines (altho I still have the ATEC's) and FINALLY... I have a new car now so will be, very sadly, parting with the Starlet soon Basically I got some new responsibilities with work which involved m

Whilst you have your leads and plugs out check that when you push the plug into the lead it hits and clicks. My old plug leads had obv been rammed onby a novice at some point so the internal core had moved up a bit and wasn't contacting properly. I changed them for red Magnecore's and Irdidum plugs and it ran like a dream Keep us updated bud

Can't see ebay link as at work but they look similar to me. Whats the price on them?

I'd have stayed where I was until they came to get you. When questioned I would have said "Well you didn't call me - I don't own a Nissan!" haha! Had my V compared to a Micra before - and a Corsa BLIND!!!

Just as the meerkats say... SIMPLES! 1: You get ones with universal rails then butcher them (and the ones on your OE seats) and make them fit 2: You pay to get the proper rails (these aren't ten-a-penny or cheap) Butchering is no big deal. I'm in the process of making some fit my Recaro seats! Steve

Watched the 1st series - was rubbish never watched any since - I make a point of turning over before it comes on so I can categorically say I haven't seen a second of each series!

I can give a direct compatison after owning one. Firstly - Ignore the slow 0-60 times. If you learn how to get it going and can keep it in its power band it will fly. I had mine mapped to 185hp and 305lb ft torque and it was a monster. Brakes and suspension mods are a must as the OE ones are poo! (bordering on dangerous) If you like low slung cars then its a no no as they can be lowered 25/30mm safely. This is due to the long engine design and low sump. I saw someone fit coilovers then shred the sump the same afternoon! not a pretty sight. Standard Recaro seats are lovely altho the cream ge

Ordered this for PS3 Looks good from the reviews - plenty of roaming space. I like the way you can be good or bad and skinning animals sounds like a right laugh! Might take friday off to play it!!

Have you thought about a Proton Satria GTi? My brother road rally's one and I've owned one so I can say from experience they are a great little car. Can be bagged for £700 upwards now too!

Just wondering what height and how many clicks (soft to firm) you are running? Oh and what camber angle too? Thanks

I worked it out on £20 worth which gave me approx 17L of fuel. I got 160 miles from light to light

All the best mate - when i change my car i'll still stay on here for the laughs!

Not really Its at stock(ish) boost 0.8 bar Apexi Intake Decat Manifold TRD full system HDI Cooler Blitz EBC Coilovers EBC Brake kit inc lines Got a Sard RRFPR and HKS FCD to go on then its getting properly set up by either Autosaurus or YVS I was still rather impressed with the little starbug!

Lovely car - the NA 3.0 is a good engine PLEASE change those gash wheels to something more tasteful please!

I'm a little bored (well its easter sunday and there's nothing on tv!) so I decided to work out what MPG i've been getting with the Glanza over the last few weeks because I know its been doing well! I have a 15 mile mixed trip to work and back each day. I live in a rural village but work in a city so the drive in (and back) is a real mix of 30/40/50 and country back roads with corners to sweep round etc. If my calculations are correct (and they are as i've just asked the wife to check them whilst typing this) i've got an average of 40.41mpg over the last month! Thats mad! I will admit I don

PP always make me laugh then gawp at their projects so good to see them get bigger Anything that establishes the club/ forum is better - glad to see admin nurturing this little forum and making it grow. Vive UKSC! Steve

I'm going to do this later this year just for a bit of extra power before I sell up! I've got a Sard RRFPR and HKS FCD Sard/ Fuel Lab/ FSE - all FPR's tend to do the same but you get what you pay for usually so spend a bit more for a better quality one is my advice Steve

I was made redundant about a year ago mate. Its not the end of the world tho. Keep your chin up and keep applying for jobs. If you don't get it - ring them and ask if they could tell you why so that you can improve (they like that too) Its a real pain but i'm sure you will find something soon Steve

Ok you've just pulled

Pulling car!? lol! I'm Married!

Thanks for the comments folks. My V's not quite standard Got Coilovers, Mani, FMIC, Leads & Plugs and a few other bits so standardish but not massivly tuned. I've got new brakes, recaro seats and a fpr and fcd to put in to up the boost slightly but I just feel like i'm drilling money into an older car that i'll not get back when I could buy the Burg which already has good power and the Remus, add the CDTi airbox and the Dreamscience Map and it will make it 300hp then add the LSD as when you get to 300hp thru the front wheels they need it. People who say that the Burg torque steers too

I've been offered a mint Astra Nurburgring edition for a bargain price so i'm considering selling up the Glanza and getting it. I love the V and its never missed a beat and its such a hoot to drive but I fancy something a little more refined than the V now. Anyone else moved from a V to a VXR? Do you regret it or what. I know I like the VXR's as a couple of my friends have them (one is a 320hp VXRacing one) and they are lush but still satisfy my speed fetish. Comments pls Steve

Found a TRD one in my car when I bought it never fitted it tho - still in the cupboard!

Weight loss as it weighs a tonne! Opens up the area you need to relocate your air filter to the front bumper and because ALL the cool people do it Steve
