    Removing Abs!

    oo well i hope mines not wank because i dont like idea of wheels locking up if i ever have to break hard... (havent really drove my new v yet because insurance hasnt run out on old car yet) but i had a lightweight version glanza last year with no abs and it was shocking under harsh breaking.. locked up very easily

    Removing Abs!

    i cant see any benefits to taking abs out if its working correctly.. its impossible to pump a brake pedal at the speed an abs system can... meaning you would skid like a biatch
  4. nahhhhhh its simple rub abit of cutting compound on them i.e t-cut they come up a treat
  5. yeah its called 'shaken', costs a hell of a lot to prep for and very harsh on older cars + apparantly supposed to be like a automatated drive through test
  6. no idea but it would be interesting to go to tokyo and see if theres any still been bezzed around lol
  7. would i be right in sayin it doesnt matter if i gut my cat as an emissions test cannot be done for mot as there is no uk equivalent to a glanza v read it somewhere just want to confirm

    Seen This?

    lmao as if they bailed..
  9. use some engine degreaser or carb cleaner then give it a polish
  10. http://www.japan-partner.com/check-manufacture-year.php
  11. ive tried but no luck. all i could find was a company that inspected cars before they are imported and that include a histoy check and found another site that told me the manufacture month and year but obviously i knew the year anyway.
  12. yeh ive just bought a kit which includes a gates timing belt. apparanty their the best wordwide
  13. just had a thought.. just out of interest id like to find out about my car when it was in japan. is there any websites that can tell me the cars history from the vin number from the japanese database?, kind of like what you can do in the uk with myregcheck.com
  14. id send it them & demand a refund (even though you didnt buy it from them)
  15. mine seems to shake and make a horrible noise similar to the noise of trying to set of in 5th gear or something lol
  16. would i need to change any other belts with the water pump then... like the alternator belt?
  17. want to get timing belt changed on my glanza for peace of mind will the water pump need to be changed at the same time? and will i need to take it to a toyota specialist or is it easy enough for a mechanic at the nearest mot/service centre to do? (with it been an import) is there anything else i should be asking or know? thank you in advance carl
