You won't be able to get quotes online for the glanza you have to phone up. Try the like's of adrian flux and sky insurance they're your best bet. Also, no you can't put it down as a GT Turbo as it will not be insured properly then, glanza's are a lot more to insure than GT's as they're not on the insurance system's and have to be manually processed. Also look in here: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index.php?showforum=129 (Where you should've posted too )

My Troublesome Turbocharged Terror
WallaceGlanza replied to WallaceGlanza's topic in EP91 Glanza Progress Blogs
Cheers mate. From what I read about that clutch its a bit more harsh but could still be used everyday, its a true paddle clutch though and its only got 3 paddle bits which means it will be more grabby than the likes of the orc since it has a complete friction plate it will also wear quicker. It also costs at around £300 and doesn't come with a lightweight flywheel whereas for £500 the orc does so its pretty much the same if you were to buy a lightweight fly later. These types of clutch's and especially the paddle type aren't ever going to be as good at stop start traffic as th -
You can't blaim the company that sells them! Its YOU that decides where they go in the car and your fault if they happen to obstruct your view.

engine warning light and low bov noise

Yes you'll be close to fuel cut, do you not have a boost gauge? -
The Fantastic Turbo tC Project
WallaceGlanza replied to TheFantasticG's topic in Other Motors Progress Blogs
Its still a toyota, scion is just the kind of sporty hip young brand in the us and japan, it has nothing to do with a starlet though... still nice though. -
The o2/lambda sensor could be getting a false reading and overfuelling to compensate when it detects moreoxygen in the exhaust.

Now you look stupid, its meant to be that way. Its not the bov its connected to an oil catch tank. I still can't believe you got the scotland flag wrong!

Yeah its not bad since it comes with the lightened flywheel,but it needs to as the rest of the clutch is pretty heavy. Oh and I only paid £200 for mine! -

It certainly looks exactly the same, I'm going to need to change the friction plate on mine soonish and I'm gonna put the orc one in for the 309 so I'll see if its the same then. There's not that much info on the blitz one but I'd say its the same. -
NO!! You lengthen it to reduce boost. Its also probably best to remove the arm from the waste gate flap then change the length if you're not doing it that way.

My Troublesome Turbocharged Terror

It changes gear nice and snappily now, like you can feel it really grab the next gear quickly as you change but its still reasonably smooth. It does feel slightly keener to rev now with the reduced mass of the clutch assembly too. Its definatley useable as an everday clutch though, the way it was before I adjusted it properly was how bad I expected it to be but its now its fine, although I haven't really done much heavy traffic/stop start driving with it yet. Are you looking at getting the orc version? As the blitz one seems the same but just more expensive because of the name! Being stuck -

I'm finally happy with the car! Wahay! Well the clutch was slipping under any significant load, ie going uphill or trying to overtake, so I decided to re-bleed the cutch and adjust the pedal again and now its completely sorted! Previously I was having to give the car 3k revs to pull away smoothly, at least 3k revs any time I wanted to change up smoothly and I was having to heel toe on down shifts every time (again to get it upto 3k revs) for smooth downshifts, I couldn't even use engine braking in the slightest or the car would judder so much it felt like it was pulling itself apart.

I think, it would be pointless, one is enough on a 1.3.

Torque settings for flywheel & clutch cover
WallaceGlanza replied to Glanza_Ragger's topic in Drivetrain & Transmission
Hmmmm I didn't use adhesive or loctite on mine, just did them in sequence and rft. -
LOL!!!!! Kouki just means its a late spec. Kouki is like the jap word for after and zenki is for before.

Leave the one's on the back and just give the side's a good polish where the original stickers were,then you won't be able to tell they were ever there.

HELP, WHOOSING SOUND, NO BOOST

Told ya! -
Yeah it'll wire in fine, they're universal. The extra harness's listed above aren't completely necessary but give more adjustability when mapping and hence will give a better map overall.
