how can it be leaking when it was not even connected??

also if the thermostat was faulty you would not have had no heater?

and if the timing was out, why did they not notice this when they had the car??

ot does not add up

Well the thermostat was permantly stuck open when i first got the car cause the engine was always running gold and the needle on the gauge never rose until i had the engine running but i wasnt moving, but like i say he said it was a performance thermostat which was ment to be permantley open???

scince changing the thermostat it warms up ok

and about the leaking i dont understand either but apparentley hes connected it up now.. but the high and low boost doesnt work i was ike i no cause the hks actuator isnt ment to run like that!

and i personally have no idea about the timing but all he said to me was that the distributor cap ignition timing was wrong????

more news on the glanza people

the thermostat that was open permantley, is supposed to be like that??? because the engine is ment to be running cold???

umm also the ignition timing was out on the distributor cap

also that there was a boost leak, coming out the pipe the pipe that controls the soleniod....

hmm dunno whats going on tbh

but yer he said the boost leak was coming from that pipe =/

also guys a lil off topic but where abouts can i get a pillar mount for a glanza?

also good news on the glanza front if matey in bradfords gonna be a COCK barclay card will refund our money on the car and deal with him so i might be without a glanza for a while but least i ll get all my money back

and thanks Bourkey, i wanna be an auto electrician =) what was the problem?

cheers guys

will try and do =)

unfortunatley still no word from cock boy up at WRC about whats wrong with my car thought i might have hrd something by now going to phone him tomorow and chase him up to see whats going on, if he doesnt honor the warrenty how do i stand with trading standards and that?

cheers guys this is amazing how much your all helping this is like my dream car and i saved ages for it and it all seems to have gone pear shaped, i think everyone i take me car to is taking advantage of my lack of knowledge when it comes to the car and trying to squeeze more money out of me =(

BUT YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME =)

just a thought. you said it looks like its had a front mount intercooler on it before? so im guessing now it hasnt? just wondering if a standard intercoolers been put back on has it been put back on properly? cause if not the boost will be leaking and if youve got that the car will just act like theres no turbo there and turn into a 1.3 n/a basically so id check that 1st matey

its slower than a standard 1.3 starlet mate

and oh really well like i say i took it to GBH motorsports and the bloke there builds 200sx drift cars and time attack cars so im like he wouldnt have forgotten something stupid like that

but yer he opened the bonnet and goes theres your problem one of the pipes isnt connected so thats why its not accelerating and because this pipe wasnt connected the turbo will be damaged because of it

and oh dear so basically im in the shit =(

seriously this bloke he told me to take it to toyota and all that then to replace the actuator and when i went to see him today hes denying all knowlege of this =(

and will do enzo

oh i see well i took it back to WRC today (who to anyone reading this do NOT buy from them cause they are COCKS and the owner doesnt honnor garentees and is a dick)

he said the actuator was missing a pipe which dont sound right because GBH motorsports fitted the actuator and they only deal with jap cars and i very much doubt the mechanic would leave a pipe off the actuator in fact i know he didnt because when i checked the oil and that this mornig it wasnt hanging off!!! but matey up theres no saying it didnt need a new actuator BUT it did because Toyota said so so i changed it but he said cause it still hasnt solved the problem there was no need to buy it but blatentley did cause the diaphram in the old one was knackared and now the new ones fitted it'll go over 40mph and the engine management light doesnt come on everytime you put your foot down, but guy from Wrc says because this hose wasnt connected the turbo will now be damaged

PLEASE EVERYBODY DO NOT BUY OFF WRC SALES BRADFORD HE'S A ROUGE TRADER WHO WILL NOT HONNOR HIS WORD AND I FEEL I MUST WARN YOU TELL YOUR FRIENDS ASWELL HE IS CRAFTY AND IT REALLY ISNT WORTH IT, TRYING TO GET MONEY BACK ON THE THREE MONTH GARENTEE I MIGHT ASWELL PISS INTO A HURRICANE!!!!!!!!

its not your cat mate it wouldnt do that

oh really how come?

does it sound like boost leak then?

the clutch slipping?

and it hasnt been set up on high boost yet cause the bloke said theres no point till he sorts the other problem

but yer its not fuel cutting at the moment

wouldnt a boost leak mean the lights wouldnt light up? you no the three green ones?

umm no other mods completly standard atm

aND WHATS "CREEP"?

Fuel cut?

How much boost does your gauge show? Fuel cut is at around 12.5 psi.

It started since you changed the actuator? (Was there any problem before you changed it?) It could be something simple like you have the boost turned up too high.

there was no problem before i changed the actuator the reason i changed the actuator is cause the original one in the glanza the diapham went in it =(

and yep your right cause its a protective measure the fuel cut out but since the actuor has been set up it doesnt over boost anymore, it runs about 0.72 on low boost but got told not to do high boost till this problems sorted.

i do have a boot gauge cause when the actuator was first fitted it over boosted and the fuel cut out came into effect, umm its just had a new distributor cap, its got performance leads on it

umm the description i can give is first and second gear pull but no where near as much as they should then in second it ll rev to like 5000 rpm but feels like its pulling aa caravan, then third will rev to about 3500-4000rpm again its like it hits a wall and just has no pull then 4th is 3500rpm again no pull feels like i ve got a huge caravan behind me then 5 th goes up to about 4000 with difficulty but still not much pull, and this is it think the previous owner ragged it a bit it is a fresh import im the first uk owner but its done 60000 MILES NOT kilometers, and i can tell from the front there was an intercooler there previously,

im thinking its the cat but like i say im not to mechanically minded tbh so im not sure

and thanks haha shame i couldnt be on here going my glanzas amazing so quick and reliable haha but this is the thing about dream cars lol

this is my first turbo car have driven turbo cars before though and know about oil changes and all that

and the actuator has been put on correctly was done by the owner of GBH motorsports who are jap car tuning specialists lol

engine looks ok i had the cam belt and oil changed and the oil looked brand new, it has a blitz induction kit on it.

thanks everyone if sorted now =)

i have my glanza now and was soooo so happy with it until the actuator went i replaced this with a HKS one and got it all set up but now theres a problem on the fuel side of it that when i put me foot down it boosts up but hardly even pulls i ve been told it might be the cat, or it may need mapping, or could be a fuel pump but the options are endless, this isnt the first thing to happen do i just have a bad glanza or are they renound for faults and by the way its not my driving cause i drive it REALLY carefull cause the amount i had to scrimp and save to get it was unreal and i do genuinly look after it.

i'd get a speedo converter. that way you wont need a speed limit defender.

plus you then have a 180mph speedo! woo!

haha yer i got the converter and people are like theres no way your car do 180 hahahaha

hi i used to have a starlet now have a Glanza V 1998 reg

my actuator has gone =( got an hks one but it seems to be 2 inches to short

also it seems to be under revering

also the door mirror doesnt work any help with the actuator?

hi everyone im getting a glanza but am having great difficulty locating the MPH dials for it any help?

well i know now if you crash and you havent declared your mods you can have your insurance void, meaning you were driving without insurance 6 points in afraid =(

yer i been following it up i wont get insured if i put performance mods on it =(

who are you insured with cause i ve only got 1 years no claims aswell?

thanks everyone i just wanted to make sure i wasnt being over charged and yer adrian flux is sorting it out looking for the glanza now proper excited, thanks everyone =P

hi everyone basically i own a toyota starlet but am in the process of selling it to obtain the bigger brother ie the Glanza but im having great difficulty in finding insurance please could any Glanza owners tell me who they are insured with and their age this would be so helpful cause all i ve been told so far is £1500 3rd party fire and theft, and that i will not get fully comp as im 19 any help thanks
