My Troublesome Turbocharged Terror
WallaceGlanza replied to WallaceGlanza's topic in EP91 Glanza Progress Blogs
Cheers Phil, BC's are sold and gone already. I am a bit fussy about most things but I think I'm finally happy with the suspension now. Definately a good choice. Tbh there's nothing that could've been changed on the bc's to get them like the Meister's are now, it's down to the fundamental damping characteristics - the bc's just have harder shocks. The spring preload was at zero as the meisters are now and changing anything else with regards to the alignment may make it handle differently but it wouldn't change the way the car handles bumps. The damping really is completely different on t -

The damping is a lot diferent from the bc's to the meister's, even set harder than the bc's the meister's are much more compliant and actually absorb bumps but still give good roll resistance and body control. The bc's were good but not as good as the meister's, for the use I want them anyway. -
It will be Jay (jaystar77) that posted it, I remember it too from the brochure.

My Troublesome Turbocharged Terror

Thanks mate, it was a bit emabarassing when the gf managed after me failing so many times plus she's tiny, but tbh but that time I was juts glad it was finally in! Yeah I'd say I'm in a fairly good position to give some feedback on the Meister's afer trying quite a few setups. The brakes are definately one of the next things to do, I could've had them sorted by now if I wasn't saving for a house but I had to restrain myself - they need doing soon though, athough I may sneak on a little something else before them! Thanks bud, it's needing a good clean just now but does look much better on -
No probs mate, I would certainly recommend them.;) I had them set up at a proper wheel alignment centre, I got the camber set to 1.2 degrees negative as it gives nice handling without increasing the wear rate on the tires by too much, I hope!

Cheers mate, no the only recent problems was getting that bloody clutch done. This engine is running good just now - "touch wood". -
After seeing Enzo giving rave reviews on the MeisterR coilovers I thought I would give them a try so I ordered a set off the man himself. Before the Meister's I was running BC coilovers (and Cusco's before them) and was slightly disappointed with them as they didn't give quite the ride quality I was hoping for so I opted for the Meister's in the hope that they could do what the BC's didn't. My inital impressions of the MeisterR's straight out of the box was that they seemed very similar to the BC's in overall look and build quality; This is more evident when seen back to back with t

Quite sometime without an update as the Glanza has been a little neglected over the winter, being mostly kept off the road, however I finally got round to a couple of things... Firstly a few weeks ago I finally got round to attempting to fit this; A replacement ORC 309D friction disc, to go in my Blitz Active clutch. The slipping from the old clutch had become quite rediculous so it was well overdue! Fitting it should have been straight forward except I ended up having a nightmare getting the box back on the engine after everything had been changed - I just couldn't get the shaft through t -
As long as the contacts are metal to metal it should be ok, just make sure the contact points are clean, both at the gearbox and onto the chassis.

It's something called a joke since you have "smarter than einstien" in your sig. As said the ecu isn't behind the glove box on the ep82's.

Im Must Just Have Bad Luck With Boost Controlers
WallaceGlanza replied to silverglanza's topic in Electronics
http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....c=29491&hl= Most people that have used these boost controllers have ended upgetting rid of them as they just don't work. Unfortunately as suggested you would be best getting rid of it for one that's known to work well. -
Even einstein know's they're not the same in all EP's.

WallaceGlanza replied to silverglanza's topic in Electronics
Did people not advise you that the HDI one's are crap when you asked about them? -
Wouldn't neccessarily say less tacky, the stuff they sell for imports - ie american and german cars, is awful - bling bling! But they do sell proper tuning bits too.

Will Non Lsd Driveshaft Fit Into Factroy Lsd Gearbox
WallaceGlanza replied to LeeG's topic in Drivetrain & Transmission
The drivers side lsd shaft is shorter too. -
Pretty decent power at that boost anyway. Your issue sounds a little similar to the very first wicked ep hybrid, it surged really badly and he thought it was down to the compressor and turbine being mismatched. Hope you get it sorted though, if not you will just have to make another revision!
-
Yeah I thought you must've repainted it since as you say the zisco paint seems to burn off instantly! You should get it dyno'd to see what the pwer curve looks like, when does it spool and hit full boost?
-
Turbo looks very interesting and similar in size to the td04. Certainly plenty of weld on that wastegate too! Have you resprayed your zisco manifold or is that still as it came from zisco?
-
It doesn't matter how many plugs either has as the emanage needs to be wired into the stock ecu wiring, or fitted using an extension harness. However the emanage will fit (by wiring it in) as they're universal.

Nice photoshop, what did you really buy?
-
Not a good idea to play with the fuelling without checking it with the proper equipment. Just fitting the fmic shouldn't really make a difference to the fuelling unless you've now developed a lead foot?
-
It's a restrictor to help stop the boost spiking.
-
Yup Jason's correct.
-
I recommend you turn the boost down for a start if you want reliability. 1.4 bar is far too high for a stock ct9!

Anyone Else Think This Colour Is Gorgeous?
WallaceGlanza replied to wssoR's topic in Lifestyle General
That blue is not the same as the glanza purpley blue: 8K9 - Purplish Blue I\'d say the colour on the uk starlet above is much nicer. I would agree though that the glanza\'s in the bluey/purple colour is the rarest, just because you see one everyday that\'s obviously from your area doesn\'t make them common!
