  1. just turned to softest...they do click into place. but it spins infinatly...? will it evetually stop or is there a stopper eventually? how many times does it spin round? or wen i go past 1 does it just go back to 5 again?

  2. Looks awesome mate, im loving the Steelies :o, looks like a minter aswell mate.

    Looking forward to seeing what you do to her buddy.

    thanks dude haha. cant afford alloys just yet!

    Front lip and some white wheels and thats a perfect looking V :rolleyes:

    undecided on wheel color yet, prefer a darker color. cba with cleaning them every 20miles :lol:

    Cheers lads!

  3. The drag of the pump on the engine.... Somthing else the engine has to spin!

    The weight of the pump, pully, rad, metal pipework & brackets

    The space to allow fmic's and filter relocations!

    :rolleyes:

  4. I know some engines hate the stuff, and some engines it works well with....

    Would running some redex or some kind of injector cleaner through my fuel system clean my injectors out well, or would it be better to leave it be?

    Cheers

    Matt.

  5. Hi folks. i bought my glanzas last week, and it came with cusco coilovers already on it!

    the tops of them have numbers on them which i think is adjustable stiffness....

    Image5.jpg

    There numbered 1 to 5?

    Is 1 the softest or is 5 the softest? I didnt get a manual with them hence me asking!? lol

    Cheers

    Matt.

  6. its much easier to get parts like dizzy, rotor arms, sparkers from your local motor poarts shop. but being an import makes things harder!

    What do the ep91 glanza engiens share with the n/a equiv!?

    Basically the things i need to know are these:

    Spark Plugs

    Oil Filter - Im pretty sure this is same....

    Dizzy

    Rotor Arm

    Cambelt & Tensioner Kit

    Any help wud be perfect! ^_^

    Matt.

  7. ok so i was sick of driving around in silence (no stereo) so i got myself a double din headunit! Pioneer P4100DVD i think it is! Brand new! ^_^ Filled the hole nicely, needed a bit of filing tho, was a couple of mm too small! B)

    DSCN0552.jpg

    It only as front speakers atm too! which are ever so tinny! B)

    So some better speakers are most likely on the list of things to do too!

    So it Begins...
    On the 28th February 2010!

    I purchased my Glanza from a importer in Manchester for £3400 8)
    She's a 1998 on a S reg. 58000km (which is about 32000miles i think)
    12months MOT
    6months TAX
    Im the first UK owner of the car too!

    Got a few optional extras i believe too!
    Climate Control
    Passenger Airbag
    Rear Blue UV Tints
    Wind Deflectors
    Clear Rear Brake Light and my Flare is still there :p

    Came with a few goodies too!
    Fujitsubo Power Getter Stainless Exhaust System
    SARD R2D2 Blowoff Valve
    Cusco Zero-1 Coilovers
    HKS Mushroom Filter
    G-Reddy Musical Turbo Timer!

    Enough chat anyways, here she is!

    DSCN0554.jpg

    The bodywork is completely mint tho!
    Not a dent, scratch, mark or crease! I love driving it!
    Its truely an awesome car! Watcha all think? :give_rose:

  9. i think i know what happened here.....they were holding a cossie meet when just down the road there was a huge starlet meet. there penises immediatly shrank when they realised they was in gay fords when they could be in amazing jap pocket rockets so they fled by foot to the nearest jap importer and bought a starlet

    Just call me detective steve :p

    dreamer. ha! :lol:

  10. Im quite tall being 6ft6. i fit in my 98 glanza quite well, but cant help thinking an extra couple of inchs further back on the seat wud be perfect!

    Does the optional recaro interior go further back then the original oem interior?

    and ontop of that, will my passenger seat seatbelt warning light flash still work with the seats?

    Cheers

    Matt.

  11. you know better then me boys, thats what the guys at the dealership told me... twas dark when i got home, havent had time to have a real close look! I no the coilovers are cusco tho cus it says it on them :p lol
