  1. Glanza 1 bar of boost have the car 3 years no trouble.

    Mk3 gtt std boost again no trouble.

    Its down to how you look after the car. If you rag the shit out of any car every day the engine wont last simple as.

  2. Not sure if this is the right section.

    Ireland is after getting a load of mobile speed cameras

    Im looking for to warn of them speed cameras.

    Looking for the one that beeps nothing fancy and can switch between cars.

    Any good links or people have any experience with them?

    Any and all info is welcome icon_smile.gif

  3. how do you think its fitted mate? superglue?

    its a genuine one for the ep82, with the bracket and all, which says clean box on it. in the italic text that is on other starlet option extra's, i.e the little glanza din "hidden box"

    i see yours has no writing on it? assuming the glanza one doesnt have the writing, or maybe yours isnt genuine?

    my passenger footwell is quite busy aswell, genuine mats, flare, clean box, and underseat tray offcourse.

    Its clamped in place. With the metal bracket in the pic.

    Mine is geniune just no writing and i seen pics of another ep91 storage box and that didnt have writing either.

    Its just different to the ep82 box also it fits different.

    Tbh its a pain for the passanger as it gets in the way takes your leg space lol

  5. see who else has got one of these, i see phil mentioned it, but never seen a pic of them

    SDC12680.jpg

    flare, underseat tray, and clean box in this pic, and i think they mats are originals, but not sure.

    ive also got a rear sun visor for the boot window, not seen another of them either.

    I have one of them here took it out of my old glanza S before i sold it. I have the brackets and all.

    If you want a complete pic with all the parts that i comes with pm me :D

    I must say its very annoying for passangers with one fitted!

  6. Currently running my GT @ 1Bar on ct9 with hks fmic, cat back exhaust, gutted cat, ported ct9 mani, air filter at front grille, hks actuator & fpr. Am planning on myabe pushing it to 1.2 in the future as i will be going TD04 but it aint being fitted til my ct9 dies.

    So how much boost can i run on a jam fcc,fmic,hks acutator relocated air filter, cat back, decat and a sard fpr? 1.2 bar?

  7. Toms grill.

    I got a broken grill with my head lights so i decided to make a toms rep out of it. It was poorly repaired before so this made my task a bit harder!

    Grind away what left of them.

    IMG_1208.jpg

    IMG_1222.jpg

    IMG_1225.jpg

    IMG_1228.jpg

    IMG_1230.jpg

    I have nearly spent more time on the drivers side today getting small breackets repaired from a minor tip before which was fixed by a cowboy!

    Still have to get the headlights fitting right but just involves lots of time and patience.

    IMG_1233.jpg

    Done some work friday night and saturday. I got the headlamps to fit some way right after a lot off tweeking.

    IMG_1235.jpg

    As you can see the grill can go in place now.

    IMG_1237.jpg

    There is still a few hours left to do with the headlights trying to get the gaps perfect.

    IMG_1236.jpg

    IMG_1272.jpg

    And fiberglasses them to the bumper.

    IMG_1275.jpg

    IMG_1276.jpg

    Also there was a gap between the grill and bumper.

    So cut out the piece out of the old bumper and fiberglassed that too.

    IMG_1277.jpg

    Sanded down still rough.

    IMG_1278.jpg

  9. Lots of nice work going on here, lovely to see another Silver one around! :)

    Seeing you guys repairing these GTs makes me wanna keep and repair mine now, dilemma :(

    There is so many been broke for parts here at the minute its crazy wont be a hand fully left in ireland yet.

    Thanks mate its a real ression project. Its sucks in a way i wanna do stuff to my glanza too :p

  10. Right i have always wanted a ep82. I found this and saved it from been broken.

    Plan is to make it into a cheap track and drag car. I have my ep91 for everyday use.

    Copied from another website.

    Right lets get things started.

    The car had a small bang at the front so i looked like this when i got it home.

    gt2.jpg

    So it got it home and started stripping it

    The one good head light and the brackets are broke and bodged together

    IMG_1109.jpg

    Sad looking gt bumper

    IMG_1111.jpg

    Rad, spots and grill removed

    IMG_1112.jpg

    So after removing all the front it looked like this. Needs a small pull but nothing major.

    IMG_1081.jpg

    Over all the car is in good condition except for the damage. So its a good base car to work with. Engine seems strong and not one bit smokey. Its fairly standard.

    IMG_1104.jpg

    There is a small bit of oil around the rocker cover

    IMG_1105.jpg

    That due to a garden hose as a breather pipe! Please note the nice kink!

    IMG_1116.jpg

    I wont have a chassis dozer for a week or two so gonna start doing other small bits

    First remove air con.

    IMG_1083.jpg

    The air con rad is already removed but the compressor is still there? Its the heaviest part of the system lol

    IMG_1087.jpg

    Now on to the inside of the car its fairly clean inside bar the mk1 gt seats.

    IMG_1089.jpg

    And this steering wheel. Im gonna have to replaced it so if anyone has one going cheap and in good nic pm me.

    IMG_1088.jpg

    Hks turbo timer

    IMG_1098.jpg

    IMG_1100.jpg

    Some dodgy wiring soon to be sorted

    IMG_1085.jpg

    When i removed the bumper i found 3 horns and only one worked?

    So i binned two along with some shitty wiring

    IMG_1086.jpg

    Some more shitty wiring. Soon to be sorted also.

    IMG_1102.jpg

    I got two radios with the car and a cheapo air filter.

    IMG_1103.jpg

    The car also came with lots of trd stickers.

    IMG_1106.jpg

    IMG_1107.jpg

    IMG_1108.jpg

    Boot rust free and straight happy days

    IMG_1094.jpg

    Aircon removed

    IMG_1117.jpg

    As you can see loads more room to work on the car. Lot easier to remove the turbo and oil filter. I also removed the oil filter tray.

    IMG_1119.jpg

    Removed the rear wiper and motor. It was rusty and horrible looking also saves a bit of weight too.

    IMG_1121.jpg

    Wiper and motor out.

    IMG_1122.jpg

    Grommet fitted and sealed. Also mananged to pop out some of the dent.

    IMG_1124.jpg

    Parts out and soon to be binned. If anyone want them pm me.

    IMG_1125.jpg

    I decided to check over the turbo and got a few surprises tonight.

    First i opened the bolts for the ic pipe between the intercooler and turbo they were loose so it was loosing boost there. So i took off that pipe and found this!

    IMG_1126.jpg

    IMG_1127.jpg

    Someone tryed to block to the pipe with a screw and to be honest i dont know what it is?????? Also the clips holding the ic rubber hose to the trottlebody was also loose...

    Good news turbo has no play. Might take it off tomorrow to inspect the manifold as its leaking somewhere :)

    More updates

    Took off the drives side wings to inveastage it. I knew it had been replaced and i seen rust so i investagted i know it was a case of a poor repair but i was shocked on how bad the repair was!

    IMG_1141.jpg

    IMG_1140.jpg

    The panel is fucked and it was a irish spec wing. Good news is that behind it is perfect and lucky i have a new one here. I dont mind because i want the car mint and its only about 80euro to spray it. Which i think is a small price to have a mint car and that the car will be when im finish with it.

    Some more good news. I picked up a new bonnet. Needs a bit of work. Good few dints in it. I have loads of time on my hands anyway.

    IMG_1128.jpg

    IMG_1129.jpg

    Mint new lights and clear indicators

    IMG_1130.jpg

    I got porting a spare manifold i have lying around.

    IMG_1131.jpg

    I took a bit much off. lol

    IMG_1139.jpg

    It will be ok because its under a stud and shouldnt have any problems.

    New wing.

    Needs a small bit of work but lot more soilid than the old one!

    IMG_1142.jpg

    I took off the rocker cover to get powder coated and found the head full of gunk! So after a bit of clean the head looks like new.

    IMG_1144.jpg

    IMG_1145.jpg

    I have no pics of before i cleaned it but here is some of the shit that came out!

    IMG_1147.jpg

    I scraped some of the stuff off with a knife and it came off in lumps as you can see.

    IMG_1148.jpg

    IMG_1149.jpg

    Head is as good as new now. I will be taking off the sump in a few weeks cleaning that along with turbo oil lines and so on.

    New shorter power steering belt. As i removed the aircon.

    IMG_1150.jpg

    As the car stands at the minute.

    IMG_1143.jpg

    I finished porting the manifold tonight.

    IMG_1152.jpg

    As you can see 80% of the restriction is gone.

    IMG_1168.jpg

    IMG_1169.jpg

    Gave it a quick spray. I didnt spend much time doing it as it will only burn off anyway.

    IMG_1162.jpg

    While i was up a japfest i sourced a few bits

    New gt seats need a good clean but not in bad nick.

    IMG_1193.jpg
