  1. Cheers man, feel free to pm me
  2. Pooh ooh could u get me a pic of the cusco panhard rod, what's best price posted need one quite quickly? Cheers
  3. He's price delivered on the hks gauge mate? And do u have an adjustable panhard Cheers by the way, a thumbs up for Tee, went out of his way to get me some bolts and clips and only charged me postage.
  4. I assumed it was for a dual sidelights like the ep82? Anyway have started to make it into a dual filament bulb holder, one wire to sidelights and one which will be connected into a rear fog switch. Liam i'll let you know how it goes and get you some pics if it works, just need time off work lol.
  5. What width are your rotas mate and where did you get the reducer for the hks filter, i need one asap? Cheers
  6. Not an adjustable one mate, no. I think this maybe what I need as it seems that it was only the o/s rear one that caught. How do you mean alignment? As in what a panhard will solve? How do you know its 6.5 mate? Thats what gut instinct said but I dont think the tyres are at fault. I have taken the spacers off for now on the back, had to mod the centre caps a little to get them to fit, against the hub nut cap which is strange.
  7. Need a bit of info, have just bought some rota grids, they are either 15x6.5(65 is stamped on the inside wheel) or 7J as thats what I was told, I assume its 6.5J though, they are wrapped in 195/50 15's and have an offset of 40, but I have fitted 5mm spacers bringing them to 35 offset. I though allwas fine but it seems i got an ever so slight rub of the rear o/s arch tonight, so it looks like I will have to remove the spacers, unless there is anything else as I thought glanzas were 35-42 offset? The car is lowered 40mm on spax springs. Thanks
  8. Did a search but couldn't find anything, my 98 spec Glanza is fitted with reflet tails, there is a lighting area at the bottom of these which has a single filament bulb in but appears to be unused, what is this for? I thought maybe it might be the dual tailights? I was tempted to add a dual filament bulb holder to it, wire one filament to the tail lights and the other as rear fogs?
  9. Ah right, wondered why the didnt just put an unturboed fte in the uk starlet lol.
  10. How about running a 4-efte as non turbo, say if u swapped the exh mani to a n/a one and the intake piping to miss out the i/c? Always wondered that for like say if u sent away turbo to be rebuilt?
  11. I will do man cheers Its working atm but when it stops again i'll check it out.
  12. Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Cheers
  13. Thats what i mean mate, if there was no noise then actuator would be most likely the problem, but its strange this noise is there, i mean i've never driven another starlet so can't compare, it might just be because im right at the redline I dunno, it may not be a whistle just like the engine or turbo screaming but its deffo like a high pitch noise, its not immensely loud but is noticable with the radio off and over the road/engine noise? A mate said that the standard actuators are known for dropping the boost in high revs, so this certainly points to that as it isn't dropping much boost at all, just the noise? Is there any other places I could check for boost leaks or an easy way I can check with the car stood still and me looking in the engine bay? Or if not is there anything else boost related that could cause the noise? on TGTT someone said the turbo but it only makes this noise at really high revs and the car pulls far too well for me to think the turbo is majorly bad?
  14. Been having a little think about this, its really quite a slow drop in boost, it kicks to 0.7 quite quickly and then slowly drops to 0.6 and not much lower by the time its hit the redline, and the high pitched noise only occurs close to the redline, so whether im overexagerrating this I dont know? I've read somewhere that the standard boost on a glanza is 0.65, i've removed the boost restriction so dunno if this means it will be 0.7 or should be unaffected? I was thinking maybe its rising to 0.7 via boost creep, and then dropping back to 0.65, and then maybe my actuator is weak causing it to go to 0.6, and maybe the noise is just normal for high revs, or is this not plausible?
  15. Nah mate it seems to work on the position of the belt itself not whether itsplugged in or not:/ Weirdly when i took my matewith me to the motor factors today it was working correctly with him sat in it lmao?
  16. Ah I see, maybe something normal then, i'll try that out :y: Cheers
  17. Today I refitted the dump valve and replaced the vacuum lines going to it, and the only perished looking one behind the inlet mani. I also loosened and then tightened the 4 hose clips holding the top mount to the turbo side and inlet mani, and I tightened them really quite a lot this time, but the issue is still there, I really can't see what the problem could be if it is a boost leak?
  18. Bump?
  19. Any update?
  20. Also, is the fact the standard dv and cone setup arent chattering to do with this issue?
  21. Yeah i didnt think the actuator would make a noise but I can't see where it'd be leaking? Its like say if i boot it in second, it will start boosting, climb to full boost and stay there for a bit then start to slowly drop, and when it gets just above 0.5 it starts making a whistling noise, at this point were just before the redline and i change gear... Could it be where the factory dumpvalve mounts to the efi pipe? Because i'm using that with the vacuum and dv hole blocked up to seal the EFI pipe and to breathe the oil from the rocker cover, but theres is a little oil from the breather pipe around the edge, but i assumed this was for sucking air in and wouldnt leak air from this point? If not I can't really think where else it could be Do they sell vacuum hose in motor factors or halfords as i might replace all the weak looking stuff.
  22. Any ideas where to look for on the boost leak, cars all standard besides a hks ssqv(which ive tried taking off) a boost gauge and a cone filter fitted on the standard piping? One thing is the car still feels okay to drive but i spose if its only dropping to .5 near the top end its not that big a leak? Cheers
  23. Got a little boost issue atm, well...I'm hoping its little. I noticed today when driving down the bypass if i gave it wide open throttle in second, on my boost gauge it would rise to around 0.7 as usual, but as the revs climbed higher the boost started to drop down towards 0.5 and a whistling sound could be heard. I only noticed it today but it may have been present for a while because I was driving quite spiritedly tonight, I then took my HKS ssqv off and swapped it for the standard DV to see if that ruled out the problem, which it didn't, so the DV isn't leaking I assume, but the weird thing is before I bought the HKS, I had the standard DV fitted with a cone filter, and there was a chatter noise, upon returning to this setup for the test today there was no chatter sound but just a faint puff of air sound on closing the throttle, not sure if this is related to my problem but could anyone help? A mate has suggested something to do with the standard actuator? Cheers
  24. How much for some seatbelt bolts from the rear and seat bolts for the front passenger seat?
  25. The passenger seatbelt warning light on my glanza has started playing up, it used to when the belt was off and someone was in the seat flash, then it started flashing when they were actually wearing the belt but not when they werent, but now it doesnt flash at all unless you sit in the seat and pull the belt right to its max extension, anybody know the problem?
