Where you based dude?

So, after some investigation with my mates, It turns out that my Glanza has been fitted with a 1 bar adjustable actuator, and its not hitting fuel cut, its missing at around 5K revs.

My plan is to replace the actuator with a stock unit, and see where we are at from there!

That's if I can get a stock actuator that's not being sold for stupid money!

Hi,

I need a stock actuator for my Glanza, one of the previous owners has fitted one with a 1bar spring and I'm missing on boost at around 5k.

I don't mind paying or trading for the adjustable one?

Let me know!

Cheers,

Nathan

cheers guys! ill check that both haven't been put on top! is it possible to unbolt the damper, jack it up to decompress the spring and do it that way? I used this method on my MX5 but not sure if its possible on these?

or am I going to need spring compressors?

I only got the car on Saturday and this baby popped up on the sunday! where abouts should the washer be? would Halfords have one? any idea on size etc?

I had a quick check of the springs when I jacked her up and changed the wheels, they look pretty new, green Tein lowering springs!

Ill PM you Ollieh17

Cheers,

Hi,

I don't suppose anyone has had this issue before? The suspension has got a little bit excited and poked through!

How do I fix this?

Thanks in advance!

Nathan

This happened to mine, I think I'm in the same boat lol

If you get the mechanism out of a set of uk spec clocks in mph, you can use that, but you have to use the dial face to match! I'm going to look around for some mph dial faces in the same colour and type face as the glanza, and possibly see if I can get a guy to make a batch to sell on, you can pick up uk spec clocks for pennies!

Mines way off! Going to try with the uk dial face on

Did you use the Glanza dial face or the uk dial face?

I'm just stripping down the two sets I have, it depends on wether the speedo converts it or something on the gearbox! I'll let you know as soon as I'm done!

Hi,

Does anyone know if Is it possible to use the internals (speedo mechanicals) from a uk set of clocks (ep91) in a Glanza to convert it to MPH? I know there's converters you can buy, but I have a spare set of Glanza dials and a spare set of SR dials...

I'm glad I rescued it then! It's not a bad car!

Cheap as chips! Needs a bit of work but was full of eBay and halfords specials! Lol

Hi guys and girls,

Some of you may remember me, or maybe not? I've had a few starlets and been a member here for a while but a relatively quiet one at that.

I got my first starlet from my aunts, an ep91 Sportif in green (R428 XRJ) which I began to glanza rep before I purchased a GT Turbo rolling shell (H942 JLE), which I then stored for around a year whilst I bought parts to get her running. That didn't happen and I ended up selling it on eBay for a profit.

I then had a break and decided to buy another starlet for my gf to learn to drive in, it was a blurple EP91 sol (R125 FBF) that she didn't use so I sold it to a friend in need, who then sold it to a friend of his who was learning to drive.

In march this year, I bought a bargain MX5 mk1 which I learnt to drift in, turbo'd it and killed the piston rings, I then managed to make a bit of cash from breaking, and decided I was going to buy a nissan 200sx s14 or s14a to further my drifting hobby.

There was nothing going for my budget so I started thinking of a different car to use as a project and a bit of fun at the weekends.

So that brings us to Thursday (10/10/2013) morning, where a Black Glanza V was on a low amount of bids pops up on my eBay... And I have a handful of cash from breaking the mx5... The inevitable happened!

Saturday morning at 0500 me and my mate headed off on our 2.5 hour journey to Bristol to pick up this black Glanza V (P964 EAB).

On the way back, I noticed it was constantly hitting fuel cut, so there's a few bits to sort!

One thing I was able to sort immediately were the wheels! The halfords ripspeeds wrapped in nangkans had to go, so I got my "MOT Friendly" wheels and tyres out of the garage and threw them on whilst I refurb the starlet SR wheels I have in the garage.

Before

After

Much better, can't wait to sort the speedlines though

Took her out for a spin last night, and the local speedbumps have helped end the life of one of the rear top mounts! Oops!

I'll get it sorted! Any idea if I can use NA shocks on the rear to replace fix this?

Does anyone have any history on this glanza?

Looking forward to making some progress

Hi guys and girls,

Anyone removing their power steering?

I really miss having it! Anyone want to swap? I've got a sol ep91 with a non pas rack that I'm want converting...

I was told its a popular weight saving mod for the hardcore and they have all the parts I need and the sol ha all the parts they need!

Let me know, or I'll grab one from the scrappy

Cheers,

Nathan

wouldnt be worth me bothering to go to the post office id onmly end out with about a quid in my pocket !

You can get a bag of haribo with it

I'll give you £5 posted? These are £15 brand new on the bay with free postage...

Anyone know what the fuel prices are like over France and into the continent? If its a lot cheaper, what about smuggling some over? Lol

There will be a small print somewhere on the line that covers them...

I worked in a tesco express and a dude found a small dead lizard in the bottom of a pack of grapes he naught for his missus valentines breakfast (I took the return myself!) he got a letter back a few weeks later from tesco explaining that all of their fresh fruit and veg is screened before packaging, by the suppliers, and although this is a very thorough process, we or the supplier can't guarantee 100% of produce can be free of natural matter or foreign objects!

He got a full refund by our store and a £40 tesco voucher from head office...

I was quite lucky when I lived at home cus my mum was a bit of a gym freak... Just can't remember what meals to eat!

Need to sort an eating plan out, deffo gonna start having breakfast! As I norms starve til lunch and pig out! I'm gonna do 30 min jog in the morns followed by crunches/ situps / pushups and then shower then breakfast... Oats with water or oats with milk!?!

Yh but I bet yours isn't 13.5 st of curry, mcds, KFC, Chinese, fryups, more mcds and fizzy drinks?!?

I'm not into the gym or anything and never have been really, but back in the school days I played rugby for the town, started at the age of 12 and stopped at 16 (biggest regret!)

We used to do full contact training twice a week and gym twice a week, before I stopped I weighed 9.5 stone and 5 and a half ft tall, and it was just plain muscle! I had a good body figure and a good power to weight ratio. Used to have a typical rugby players diet of purely what you want because you know when you were at training, you were gonna work so hard and be sick!

I hit colts level ( 16 - 20 odd years old) and found myself being thrown about as I was a small winger and decided I needed to put some weight behind me...

6 years later I'm a fat fuck that smokes, weighing nearly 13.5 stone and just don't have the motivation to get back into it!

I don't think I wanna get bk into rugby again, but I wanna shake up and get healthy... Any tips?

I'm gonna hit the road tomorrow morning and jog until I'm sick or for half an hour... Clean my system out and drink water only, dunno what to eat though as I'm at work ( normally a fast food diet as I'm on the road all day) but will have access to supermarkets...

Hi mate,

Looking for prices on engine loom, engine mounts, brake calipers and the long horizontal metal bar that holds the front bumper on?!?
