  1. Depends what you want from your console really =] ps3 is just fine for playing games single player etc, However xbox 360 absolutely run things regarding playing online =] The multiplayer interface is better in every aspect, friends/parties etc =] I have both ps3 and xbox, my ps3 doesn't get a look in simply because i only ever play games online and everyone seems to have an xbox these days =] Xbox 360 ftw in my opinion

  11. It would probably be a month or so before i go purchasing an exhaust or anything else expensive for her as i used my last bit of 'Car allowance' on the suspension haha. thanks for looking out though!
  12. Sorry, i only tell unbanned members ;p I payed a fair price for her, 92,000, Fair bit of history and the import documentation which was vital to me =] p.s It even came with the original Jap cloth
  13. haha, Thanks lads. I've just ordered & payed for some HID 8000k which should be here within 14 days, Other than that i'm after a turbo timer + Full exhaust including Decat & manifold =]
  14. Hello there folks, Been on here a while now and thought it was about time i made a build thread. The start The Motor Toyota Starlet Glanza V, Bought it completely standard with its original flair, Steelies & import documentation. The car has a fair few extras, L.S.D, Rear strut brace and window tints. I took a risk in buying her a bit cheaper with very little mot & tax, however it payed off when all she needed was a new cv boot & passenger door handle to pass MOT. Made me a very happy chappy because getting your hands on a standard Glanza is rare as rocking horse shit. Few pics of when i picked her up. Once i had her mot'd, tax'd and serviced i than began the modifications =] New Wheels First things first, Get rid of these steelies. Local chap had these mr2 Roadster Alloys at a steal price, Mint condition wrapped in bridgestone potenza's. Too good to refuse. The paintshop After treating her to some new wheels. As i'm extremely fussy about paintwork, i managed to persuade the old man who sprays cars for a living, to do some bits on the Glanza. I had stone chips on the bonnet, Few chips on the side skirts and a blemish on the rear bumper. The Engine Mods This is my first turbo car so one of the first things on my list was a dump valve, Believe it's probably a novelty but still went and purchased a Baileys Bov, Shortly after i cleared the 1st & 2nd gear restriction by swapping the pipes as in the guide & Fitted a Rx7 Top mounted intercooler. After taking and looking at this picture i realised how dirty the intercooler was so i gave that a polish and a clean. Was very impressed with it's results. AFTER Stripping the rear I had the biggest heaviest twin subs which i decided to remove, Got a little carried away and removed the back seats. Although its not massively stripped and i doubt the weight of the seats actually made a difference, The subs certainly did. Having any more than two seats isn't an issue as the motor i sold to buy the glanza only had 2 seats. =] My Van i sold to buy the glanza The rear of the Glanza New Suspension Today, October the 28th. I fitted me new suspension. Tein Springs & KYB excel G Shocks Front and rear. I got the impression these were going to be a very stiff ride, But i can honestly say there comfortable enough for road use her in the south west =] Thanks for reading =] Feel free to comment.
  15. Sell my standard setup did you mean? Hmmm it could certainly be worth checking up on. I wasn't aware you could get kyb excel G's for the rear as i didn't see them on Team-developments! So to find them already on the car was excellent!
  16. Well i recently picked up a set of shock/Springs for the glanza v, Tein Springs on front Uprated kyb Excel G shocks + OEM Kyb rear shocks. Today i finally decided to fit them... to my suprise, i discovered that the Rear shocks i already had on my car were Excel G's gas shocks too which were being used with the standard springs! =] So now i have full set of excel G's with tein springs AND a complete set of oem shocks for when i return it to standard. Quite chuffed as i didnt like the thought of using standard oem oil shockers with the Tein springs. Also impressed with the ride comfort too as after searching the forum i was expecting a real harsh ride! Also added, Some decal, New wheels, New intercooler =] Pics to follow
  17. That is amazing, Lol & bride seats for the commentators!
  18. Looks awesome, What mm is that lowered by? and what kit =]
  19. Awesome looking driveway pal, i'd be lying if i said i wasnt jelous lol =] Theirs a lad round here running crazy high boost on his evo GSR, Very quick motor.
  20. have had this bookmarked for a while now, if you ever need inspirationg to gain some power this video is it! lol, It's actually uploaded on here somewhere, UKSC insider if i remember correctly. =] Edit : There's also a video of him up against a b18 engine'd civic, quite embarresing really lol
  21. Interesting, This do any harm do the clutch/box etc? Should really learn left foot braking =]
  22. As far as im aware you will need a piggyback ecu to remap yes because the standard ecu is not mappable. Insurance is a bastard on these things, although your 21 which will go in your favour, you have 'just' passed. be prepared to pay a fair bit pal. Welcome to UKSC mate =]
  23. To get one over on an opponent. i engage in conversation about there car, there usually to distracted to notice the light turning green. then i shoot off before he has even got it in gear! =] On a serious note, I haven't done much launching so its been interesting to see how other people get a good start, so i don't have to cheat anymore ^^
  24. Looks like a decent set of kit, how much do they retail at?
  25. Looks awesome mate, Did you spray the brace yourself of pay a prof to do it =]
