i know this cant be good, but ive noticed a build up of oil around the venting area of my bov... is this a major issue? should i be looking about for a new turbo in the meantime? or is it relitively harmless? the engine doesnt seem to be drinking an abnormal amount of oil either. and theres seems to be no smoke out the exhaust. Rich.

how do you guys go about undersealing you imports? how much is it to get it done? is it worth me attempting it myself? Rich.

gotta say i agree with rubix and everyone who said they like it. the kit suits it perfectly, loving the lack of a high spoiler.. and the advans are offically my most favorite wheels ever.

bloody hell... you did keep that one quiet!! i bet IT isnt though!

what is it for? as there are other places you can get the signal turbo/non turbo starlet?

*oli thinks he can escape from posting a picture of himself!* but in truth..... he cant!

its a stupid idea really. if cars in a convoy are street racing then i understand why they'd threaten that.... but for general driving in convoy is just plain stupid.

yeah, i tried the 5efhe... the wiring was completely different right back to the ecu. its basically the same type of wiring thats on the 4efte... so in went my old engine again!

yeah, i suppose so... really want to get a few more starlets coming though!

i think i know some of joz's plan...

how do you go about painting the engine bay then mate? just mask everything off? dont most places prefer to drop the engine?

if you want to see what all of that looks like mate you may as well just look at a pic of a glanza? the glanza has no door strips, the sides, and the rear bumper... or look at joz's car!

loving the wheels! welcome to the site! Rich.

well i the guy i bought my car off says i can go down there and try plugging an older spec one in... but it means going to london... and if i have any problems down there im stuck there. i tried a different ecu in my old starly and it didnt work, so i swapped it back to the original and it took hours for the ecu to reset and allow me to start the car! i just dont want that to happen! true, i dont know what the other car had done to it, but i was sure it was standard. who knows!

ok, now theres four... anyone else?

before even considering a engine change, i'd find out about insurance first. me and si both wanted to do engine changes in our old starlets and gave up when it came to insurance, my old car with engine change to 4efte £2236 tpft my glanza £818 fully comp.

the -40mm pi's lower more than 40mm! defo.

yeah, already tried all the usual suspects... no luck. as long as the wirings the same i'll be happy. i guess i'll loose my passenger airbag though?

ok, well thats three of us!!

ohh my god!! i cant believe it... whats happening???? sad to see this, she was a minter. RIP Rich.

aaaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! my secret plan was to do my car kawasaki racing green!!!! BALLS!!! looks good mate... gonna have to think up a different colour now!!

he he mine came with one with the factory mats!

im just wondering if its the same wiring though....

@adrian: eksjay mentioned it in another thread. when i bought my suspension setup i drove the 97 glanza the suspension was on, and it was much faster... the boost came in savagely compaired to mine, so i assumed it was because of the harder suspension... but it still doesnt seem the same... so i know theres a difference. the question is... will a earlier ecu plug in and work ok? i dont want to buy one and it not work! have you changed yours si? yeah, i do remember you selling one... you were gonna be my next port of call! balls... o well.

yeah, i have that problem all the time... i normally leave it a few hours if ive got time before i polish it!
