They are carbon wings.matey don't think you can get the carbon look back once painted
They will be FRP he made both carbon and fiberglass
-
Think the group buy was on tgtt
Hope you get it sorted Gee

Get a spacer mate of even a quick release hub this would have the benifit of bringing the wheel closer, been able to remove it for security and making it easir to get in and out.
-
Smaller wheel will help plus a spacer to bring it closer too you, the best thing i found was a recaro seal with a low position seal rail and a shifter extension. I'm 6ft5

If you like the the yellow and want to tie everything in go for a set of recaros from an Ignis sport they have yellow in them:

There are aftermarket parts availble off the shelf to build a very strong box but as Matt says it's big money

Hello Halina and welcome,
The EP71 turbo is a rare site over here and they used the 2E-TELU which is different to the 4EFTE the EP82 and EP91 that are more common over here.
Can you post some pictures of the parts along with any numbers on them maybe they will be the same as ones from a 4EFTE. If not try the Irish toyota sites as they imported a few EP71's and try the Yahoo auctions in Japan.
Other than that fit a 4EFTE
hi, welcome to the club. when you say turbo pressure sensor, do you mean boost controller/guage?
got any pictures of the car, and the parts your after?

Clutch will be the next thing really they often tend to struggle holding an engine running 1 bar through a CT9 let alone a TD04
-
Thanks Shaun any chance of a few pics?

Is there anyone out there that has a rollcage and recaros fitted preferably evo ones or SR3's?
I have a set of SR3's and would like to get a cage but i'm quite tall and need the seat to go all the way back can you do this?

Also got bored listening to my music without any bass, so got this from Si:
And built these:

Thanks for the comments guys.
I spent one night last week stripping the engine bay loom and removing all the ABS and air con wiring, i'm not really going for a full wire tuck but wanted to take all the un-wanted plugs and wires:
This is how it was before i took it apart:

After much pestering from some certain members i've decided it's time to start a pogress blog!
First a bit of history.......
I got my first starlet a UK EP91 sr in 1999 this is where i got into these quirky little cars and soon after owning the sr i got to find out about the Glanza and after a year in early 2000 i brought a stock 1996 black glanza V:
Throught this car was how i first met Dave Burwash i'd just started modding the car and Dave had a Blitz de-cat for sale so i went down to collect this was back long before TMD when Dave had a MK1 gt with a lion bite in the back bumper!
My Glanza got quite highly modified but life got in the way and after buying my own house i couldn't afford to take the car to the level i wanted to so i broke the car for parts around 2005.
I always kept in contact with Dave and in 2009 i decided i wanted to get another starlet and i started looking to see what was about.
This 1996 Glanza came up for sale on ebay up in Edinburgh i could see it had some nice parts on it and although it was not a runner due to a knocking engine i knew between me a Dave we would sort this:
This turned out to be a really good buy and i sold off some of the un-wanted parts which paid for the car
As good as the parts that came on the car were i wasn't 100% happy with the main body as it wasn't that tidy so i started looking again and this came up on TGTT:
A deal was struck where the seller kept all the audio as it wasn't what i wanted at the time and of course this one wasn't without it's problems:
So parts were sold from both cars that i didn't need and a plan was hatched with help of an old mate starlet nath who still had a mint 28000 mile 4EFTE in bits in his garage from when he had a project going on!
I brought a full recaro interior for it when one popped up on the fourm, got the varis bonnet and bumper from the black car and a back bumper with optional lip painted and fitted and that was where the fun started.
I'd been helping Dave out when Darren was racing in the toyota sprint series as i had a van full of tools for my job at the time and helped out with the spanners when needed. Just as i was about to get an engine built Dave said he was breaking the sprint car and did i want the engine...
This was a no brainer originally built by Rob Barnard (SES) then later opened up and inspected by Dave and Darren this had a good spec:
4EFTE
Forged pistons and rods
Knife edged crank
Cruise power gasket
Cruise power valve springs
Ivan tighe 282 cams
Head work port and polish
when it was inspected all new genuine toyota pumps and gaskets were used.
I got a bargin of a HRF TD05 kit which needed the turbo re-building so this was done and i brought the F-con V-pro from Dave at the same time. A long weekend was spent down at the workshop at TMD and we got the engine in the car all up and running.
Later i swapped out the stock inlet for one that Rob made some time ago when he had some fancy comput software availble to him that calculated the optimum inlet lengths this was fitted along with a tuning developements throttle body pulley:
By that time i'd started to tidy up the engine bay so had swapped a lot of the bolts to stainless steel countersunk hex screws with blue washers, replaced all the fuel hoses with braided lines and AN fittings, fitted a silk road engine dampner, roose hose kit with blitz top rad hose and a few other blue shiny bits including a power steering bottle and coolant overflow made by Dean at RW:
The black car had given it's Sard radiator and greddy intercooler plus the greddy oil filter re-location kit and oil cooler to the project.
This saw the engine pretty much complete it had the map tweaked down at Austec racing and made 317hp @ 1.48 bar of boost.
Interior:
After fitting the optional extra recaro interior i was pretty happy but didn't feel that the front seats offered as much support as i wanted and after having evo V recaros in my last glanza i started looking for some and then came across these:
They came from a skyline and the rails were sold which paid for the seats!
I added a Defi DIN pannel as i'm not really a fan of gauges on top of the dash. Also i managed to get a set of the TRD carbon pannels from Si when he broke his V and converted to a 98 dash cluster with the nicer red needles at the same time. While i was getting some parts from Si i got the pipe work to remove the ABS:
A momo wheel with with carbon detailing, recaro trimmed center arm rest, Jam gear knob, C's short shifter, shifter extension, AEM wideband, Turbosmart E-boost 2 and black leather red stiched gators have been added over time.
Everything is currently in bits as i'm having a bit of a re-fresh over winter sorting one or two things out and getting the car to where i want it.
Engine is out and the bay is stripped ready for a coat of paint:
There is probally much i've missed but will try and keep this up to date from now on

Good condition second hand engines are getting rarer these days too, you never quite know what your buying secong hand.

With a bit of work a standard female spade terminal will fit and stay on there
