Those center caps are off my 15" Rota Grids so they will fit no problem mate. Driveshafts will make no difference -

Browner replied to Browner's topic in Starlet Parts For Sale
I was told easily over 300bhp by my tuner. The spool up is excellent on the VF30's. Not sure what boost they are good for as I replaced it with AnimalGT's turbo before my map mate boost controller soooold! -

Well done on the dyno figures mate. It's nice haing 300 under the bonnet isn't it lol
-
Well the sun is shining and things are looking great! =) First of all I would like to say a big thanks to QuinnyGT and Millstreet Kid on here they are two absolute gents. They bent over backwards to get me a Cusco cage up out of Cork and back to Dublin. Lads I cannot thanks you enough. I bought a full Cusco 6 point rollcage. It is a full dash dodger and rear seat dodger design. I am modifying parts of it and getting custom bars fabricated as we speak. They are all of the highest quality seamless tube design. This is the cage after it arrived at the house. It is blue at the minute but I am thinking of repainted the finished cage in 040 Toyota Super White. Opinions? This is the rough design I am going for... Custom bars running by the side and rear of the seats and also maybe a custom diagonal bar in the rear to stiffen the whole lot up. I want to be careful not to add too much weight but its getting to the stage now where safety is the number one concern so I want a solid cage for peace of mind. I ordered semi slick drag racing tyres today. Next on the list is a clutch capable of holding 500bhp and then I am off on the England roadtrip in search of a new map for 500 ponies We were in the middle of designing door bars for my rollcage but it was proving awkward to get in and out of the car even with them set at a low level. Also weld in door bars will not pass the NCT so a friend of mine in Carlow gave me a call with these genuine Cusco door bars for sale. These are ultra rare and I was chuffed to find such a "may not be as advertised" and original set. They are much easier to move around than a big lump of a bar aka a tripwire lol. They are also a genuine Cusco item the same as my rollcage and still have all original Cusco paint and stickers. They will need slight modifying to fit with my rollcage as it's a dashdodger cage. Here are some pics of them fitted to my mates Glanza: These just arrived from England today I needed new front brake pads for my Levin twin pot calipers so decided to upgrade to heavy duty EBC Redstuf pads for greater stopping power and lower dust levels on my spanking white wheels Just picked up this rare little beauty from a car I got in. Genuine factory extra air purifier and control switch. Very, very rare factory extra. Another one for the list Pudgey you could do with this... get the wallet out Well just a bit of an update. It's now Wednesday and the Big Meet is on this Sunday, still have loads to do and time for a little moan! My rocker cover cracked the day after I got it powdercoated so trying to sort that at the minute. I delayed painting my cage and sidebars as the lads talked me into painting it the same blue as the engine bay but there was something about the Cusco Blue that I just had to have it. We went to test fit the cage today and it wont fit with my pillar pod so I have to lose that, absolutely sick because looked for one for months! So have to try and get two 60mm gauge holders by Sunday. The sidebars are a tight fit with the door pockets and the seat bolster and will need modifying to bolt to the floor where the cage bolts to the floor. Another nice headache! My front tyres are completely sqaured by the torque and wheelspin from the car so ordered new Yokohama Advan A048 Supersoft drag slicks from the UK. They better be here by the weekend or we might be in trouble. At the minute the car is in about a million pieces. I just removed some parts that I want to polish up to a mirror finish including my intercooler piping, HKS dumpvalve and alloy half rad. I ordered a new Glanza V boot sticker from Toyota which will be here tomorrow. Need a new rocker cover gasket and rocker cover washers as there is a slight weep of oil coming from there but dunno if I'll have them in time. The plan is to have the cage in by tomorrow. The on Friday I plan on fitting 65mm extended wheel studs and spacers to the rear and finding the source of a loud vibrating rattle thats coming into the car around 4000rpm. Also going to fit my Whiteline anti lift kit and lightweight wishbones on Friday too. Then all day Saturday will be the clean of the century just to make sure its cleaner than "the twin" (Robep91) Okay so today things have gone a bit better thank god My drag slicks arrived so I finally have some grip! I collected my new Glanza V sticker for the boot from Toyota... And also got new rocker cover nuts and rubber rocker cover washers as mine were weeping a tiny bit of oil... Although I think these polished ones will be the choice lol... I fixed the crack in my rocker cover and resprayed it and am polishing up the raised bits as we speak... The few bits I took off yesterday came up well after a polishing. See the earlier picture above for comparison... My new polished HKS SSQV dumpvalve... My intercooler pipes... And my alloy half rad... The rollcage was painted Cusco Blue last night and we are putting it in here this evening. Time to get the parts on and the rocker cover left to seal overnight and then tomorrow its wheel studs, spacers and anti lift kit time OK rollcage is finally in after some gentle persuasion lol will get picks tomorrow. Just finished polishing my rocker cover after repairing it and repainting it blue again. While it was off I cleaned all over it with cotton buds to get any tiny dirt particles off it. What do yous think? Okay almost there now. Here is a few pics of the car the night before the Big Meet. Over 14 hours of cleaning went into getting the car looking like this including a full bodywork treatment, de tar, compound, HD wax and hours of polishing The engine bay had a full detar and detail including all the plastics, hoses etc Inside was filthy and the dirt just kept coming! After a good steam clean the dirt eventually started lifting and it came out well. Very happy overall just disappointed I didnt get a chance to spray the rear wiper, exhaust manifold and power steering pump black, they were a tad rusty and were the only things that let down the engine bay. Anyway here's some pics after the clean and how the car stands now... Enjoy This little beauty just arrived from Japan A genuine ep91 non smoking ashtray. Very hard got and a nice touch inside the car Got myself a full Whiteline Anti Lift Kit. I came across ordinary Starlet wishbones and they are much lighter than the glanza wishbones. I put both sets on a scales and the ordinary Starlet wishbones weighed about 2kgs whereas the Glanza wishbones were around 3.5kg apiece. I could have done with a more accurate Salter scales but there is a definite large weight difference in them. The Glanza wishbone (bottom in picture) has a thick rib around the edge of it, the Starlet wishbone (top in picture) does not. The fitment of both wishbones is the same. Glanza wishbone (top) and Starlet wishbone (bottom)... Getting off the old wishbone bushings was an absolute pig! Anyone who says it's easy is a liar lol! I had to cut most of the old black bushing off with an angle grinder and then burn the rest of the rubber off so I could fit the new yellow polybush mounts. The rust and dirt was removed from the old wishbones and they were sprayed gloss black to tidy them up a bit. I then tested the polybushes etc to make sure they fitted okay... Time to get it in the car now =) Since I fitted the longer wheel studs I needed big spacers to bring the wheels out a bit in the arches, so much so that the wheel nuts were maxed out tight and were nowhere near the wheel! For the minute I had a load of slip on spacers built up behind the wheel but didn't like that and it was giving me a slight shake in the steering wheel as they weren't sitting 100% centre on the hubs. I got these beasts now... 25mm hub centric bolt on spacers. I may have to machine them down a bit more to fit but we will try it first and see =) Got these small slip on covers for the front bumper from Toyota today. They were missing from my car when I got it so just want to have it right Browner
-
Cheers mate Got these today dunno which set I prefer tho what yas think lads? There's a few 98 spec Glanzas after appearing around my may that are white with bubble lights and white Rays wheels or White Rota Grids. I want to be a bit different so am putting on white standard Glanza alloys and maybe these lights. Not sure though. Both sets are mint...
-
Well AnimalGT never posted any build thread whatsoever so I certainly wouldn't say I'm as bad as him lol. Just had this before mate I modified my Glanza the way I wanted some mods were right for the car others weren't but you don't know til you try. I had every Tom, Dick and Harry before slating parts I used and putting me off certain things and giving wrong or bad opinions on parts I'd used so I just said feck it I'll just keep it to myself to save the hassle. I wouldn't be on this site if I didn't have an interest in tuning these cars I am here to learn and also share my own experiences but sometimes, as you know yourself from modding your own car, these cars can just turn out to be a complete head melter! Lol
-
I have all angles covered lol totally obsessed with them now at this stage! The boxy is my old school baby and the white one is mint. The track car is just sat in the shed stripped at the minute. I had a mint red glands as a runaround but sold it to a Donegal boy today for good money. Was a real peach of a car only 80,000kms on it was in storage for 4 years before I bought it
-
In the meantime I have started to upgrade my brakes. No point in running such big power and not being able to stop. I got a set of Toyota Levin twin pot calipers for the from with custom discs and spacers to fit my Glanza. The wheel bearings on the hubs are almost brand new and the 65mm extended wheel studs will bring the wheel out nicely in the arch. I also got a new set of 8 65mm extended wheel studs for the rear to bring the back wheels out the same as the front. I stripped off the old discoloured red caliper paint and resprayed the calipers and carriers in Performance Blue. This colour matches my engine bay hoses and oil cooler so helps in the overall look of the car. They came out well... I also bought a set of 6 brand new HEL braided brake lines in blue and a bottle of genuine Toyota brake fluid. I am fitting these rear grooved discs to help the back a bit, although the majority of the braking is to the front. Just have to press in two new rear wheel bearings before they are fitted... To finish off the brakes I have just received a Tegiwa brake cylinder stopper, again in blue. The bulkhead by the brake master cylinder flexes under heavy braking, which can sometimes lead to a spongy brake pedal feel. This powder coated stopper bolts to the bulkhead and brake cylinder itself, dramatically reducing this flex. Went a bit mad with the spray again today! I want to colour co-ordinate my whole engine bay white and blue, and maybe some polished stainless aswel. I am toying with either a blue, white or polished fuel rail until I can afford a high flow fuel rail. What do yous think? In the end I opted for the blue fuel rail. It was a pig to fit with so many fittings in the way but it looked well once finished. Whilst off I noticed one of the rubbers on the injectors was worn so I replaced that too while I was there. Also fitted a blue genuine TRD oil cap A nice blue earthing kit from a car I broke recently will suit my build down to the ground I want to remove and sand down and polish the terminals to remove the rust but it's ok for now... Pics of it fitted: I also got a custom made polished fusebox cover. I really like it I am going to polish my civic rad, intercooler pipes, dumpvalve, intake etc to match Just got these blue lightweight pulleys and adjustable cam gear from Corofin12345.The cam gear will be useful for advancing the timing on the new high lift cams. Cheers mate To match the new pulleys I think this clear cambelt cover will look the job. Can't wait to fit it. First pic is my one and below is one fitted on another car... Everyone knows I am mad for original factory extras that came from Japan and was after a key barrel light and footwell light for ages. I got a car in with a set in it. What luck! Added a few nice new books to my Starlet literature aswel All original copies and all "may not be as advertised". Clockwise from top left: Original Hyper Rev Starlet Tuning Magazine in Japanese, Original Glanza Brochure in Japanese, Original Starlet Owners Manual in Japanese, Starlet Workshop Manual in English, Starlet Owners Manual in English and Haynes Starlet Owners Workshop Manual. />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thJQycmiBHI&feature=youtube_gdata_player A 356bhp M3 was smoked by a certain white starlet... lol />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41wC0n3LNTY Been busy with the car this week. I fitted the Levin twin pot brake kit to the front and also the HEL blue braided brake lines. Plans for tomorrow is fit the rear grooved discs, braided brake lines and rand new rear padsand change the alternator as the bearing is making noise. I have the solder iron ready to solder in my new Defi gauges. I modified a m.int pillar pod I bought to accomodate such a large gauge. The fit is superb I am very happy with it. I also have my Glanza factory extra double din CD player and original Toyota speakers to fit tomorrow too. I got a cool oil filter to match my hoses This is the car as it stands today after a quick wash. Over the weekend I am doing a full bodywork treatment and a complete detail valet plus an engine bay clean Just dropped the car in to get the noisy head re shimmed today. We checked the shim clearances with a feeler gauge and they were huge, hence the tappy head. I am getting it re shimmed tighter today. I will post pictures and videos of before and fater and see what yous all think. At the bottom of the page is the new clearances after the head was re-shimmed. Bang on At least it is right at last I fancied a change of look and seen these boot struts off a 00 Nissan Micra in the scrapyard today. They have screw holes on both ends so are simple to use as nifty DIY bonnet struts. I placed them on the wing and they fitted fine with the bonnet closed so with some careful measuring, marking and drilling this is how they look...! I got my rocker cover powder coated today. Ordinary paint was just flaking off with the heat from the forged engine. I originally got the rocker cover powdercoated white with the raised parts blue but I didnt like it so got it resprayed. I fitted a blue anodised battery clamp and a few other bits and pieces. This is the engine bay as it sits now... The engine bay is still very dirty and greasy but the next plan is to clean that from head to toe. I am going to take off the exhaust manifold and power steering pump and paint them black too. I have added a few bits of optional extra goodness to the build also. Excuse the state of the car I am still working on it and then its getting a full valet from myself genuine factory extra coin holder... genuine factory extra flare and flare holder... genuine factory extra 3 point rear strut fitted with top caps... Check out my new split rear Recaros too Genuine 98/99 spec and very, very hard got! My m.int Starlet fishnet Recaros and extremely rare Recaro center armrest Original Jap service stickers... Original Toyota Glanza remote central locking fobs... Usually long lost at this stage but cool to have nonetheless The original factory extra Toyota speakers I got didnt work, the bass was gone in them, so while I'm hunting for a new set of speakers to refit into the casings, I have fitted these original Toyota pod speakers. What beauty's! I have a "may not be as advertised" parcel shelf to fit them to as the one they came in is cracked as you can see... This is the back of the car now with original oem mid spoiler, original oem rear splitter andred JDM bubble lights... starting to come together! More big updates to come!

This is my mint EP70 Boxy Starlet. The car is very, very clean inside and out. The car is almost completely original and very tidy underneath. All glass is original and stamped with the cars registration number. It has complete 1.5 5e Cynos running gear. 5efe engine with 67,000 miles on the clock. Engine and gearbox are very dry underneath and the car drives well although it's like going back in time compared to the Glanza lol Mint Cynos 5 speed box also fitted. You can really notice the longer gears of the Cynos box as the car revs and pulls all the way out Cynos disk brakes front and back Mint GT turbo front and rear seats TRD rear spoiler Tein Coilovers Apexi exhaust (sounds like a roaring V-tec with a Toyota badge on it lol) Carbon fiber induction kit (Not fitted in the pics below) Nardi Steering Wheel Sitting on Sparco nsII's (y1r's on rear) Just taxed the car for 3 months today and have a few bits to do for the NCT to get it through. New brake pads have just been fitted to the front and fitted brand new rear pads today. I want to keep the car as original as possible so today I replaced the Nardi steering wheel with a mint standard one as my hands kept hitting off the stalks with the Nardi steering wheel fitted. I have a new, freshly polished rocker cover to fit and a new set of blue NGK performance leads also. I am on the hunt for more standard parts now and gonna give it a good clean the weekend. I am toying with the idea of a TD04 turbo conversion aswel just want to research it a bit more first. Some pics http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png Okay a few more updates now folks... My NCT is coming up this week so I've been busy doing bits and pieces with the car and tidying it up a bit... First things first I changed the Nardi steering wheel for this mint original beauty (don't mind the state of the interior it's getting a good clean once the work is finished lol) When I lifted up the rear parcel shelf I seen this bad tear in the back seats. I never would have noticed it tucked under the parcel shelf nor would anyone else but I just had to change it. Eventually I got a set of clean rear GT Turbo seats. I want the car minty mint and this was just annoying me. Whoever said it's an easy job to fit GT Turbo seats to a boxy Starlet is a liar too... lol Before: And replaced with a mint new seat: The interior is mint but there is a tiny tear in the driver's seat and the plastic cover for the handle on the side is missing so anyone with a mint GT Turbo driver's seat please let me know... This sticker on the window from the previous owner was also bugging me So a with a DIY heatgun (my mam's stolen hairdryer), some petrol and a CD I got it off... I had to change the noisy straight through Exhaust system from the manifold back and replace it with this new NCT proof beast! While the Apexi N1 backbox was off I gave it a thorough polish... Off with the old black reg plates I also got a mint font Grill with original Toyota badge so I removed the current grill which was resparyed and the Starlet badge had been painted with Tipp Ex by someone and the grill cut and mesh placed behind it. It sits a lot better now with the new grill. I wanted to be different from the usual Superlites etc so after weeks of searching I finally got a set of standard 14" Toyota Glanza alloys. I am going to paint them the same colour as the car. I think they will suit it nicely. I even got a fifth wheel as a spare and wrapped the front's with sticky Hankook rubber and Accellera's on the back... Engine wise I have replaced the old push type distributor cap with a clip-type dizzy cap from a Glanza to suit my new blue Ultra leads. These are the best leads you can get I fully recommend them. I also made up a new induction kit pipe and fitted a HKS Mushroom filter and done away with the cheap carbon look filter from before. I removed the faded old rocker cover and replaced it with a freshly polished Glanza turbo rocker cover. Along with this was a blue alloy oil cap and a blue breather filter. I tidied up the wiring in the engine bay, replaced the missing battery clamp, wired in a new horn which was missing and replaced the two handbrake cables to the rear disc brakes. I also cleaned the throttle body as it was sticking slightly. I also replaced the missing cigarette lighter with a new one. All small stuff really but trying to put the car back as original as possible. Next on the list is a set of original Toyota speakers http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png If anyone has an original Toyota CD player / radio I will have it along with the GT Turbo driver's seat. I am also looking for a GT Turbo washer bottle / coolant bottle, the double one. The one in the car now was painted silver and looks utterly terrible so want to replace that and keep the car as fresh looking as possible. I done a lot of research in regards doing a turbo conversion on the car but I love the n/a raspy exhaust so I am going to leave it as it is. I will fit a thinner headgasket to higher the compression and maybe advance the timing slightly. I am also looking to order a stainless steel manifold from America for it to brighten up the engine bay a bit and help with exhaust flow. I will put up more pics of how the car sits now soon Well lads I changed around the intake a bit and made a custom intake pipe fitted with a HKS mushroom filter. Number one the car is now drinking petrol and number two the power of the car has dropped significantly. I think the filter is simply sucking hot air out of the engine bay which is useless. I have bought a full standard air box kit with original cold air feed to the front panel that came out of a 98 granny starlet http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png Along with this I got a HKS performance panel filter from Japan I hope the new cold air feeding into the intake will improve things once again. I have decided to order a brand new polished Civic rad and a polished Stainless steel 4-2-1 exhaust manifold. These are on the way from America as we speak http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png My glanza is getting custom cams made up for it in England so I will put my old 5efhe cams into the boxy and change the headgasket for a thinner one shortly. 5efhe cams are about .8mm-1mm higher lift than standard 5efe cams. New black vintage reg plates have also been ordered to freshen it up a bit. The car is slowly coming together http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/smile.png Recently I picked up an extremely rare ep71 starlet turbo bonnet. There was only ever 29 ep71 starlet turbos imported into Ireland so that will tell you just how lucky I was to find one! The bar grill did not fit correctly with the new bonnet and sat way in underneath, so instead of getting an ep71 turbo grill I wanted to maintain the original look of the car. Custom brackets were made to push the front grill out in line with the bonnet for an excellent finish. A lad I knew had two brand new wings and a brand new lower stonegaurd panel all in the original Toyota packaging so while I was painting the bonnet I got them painted and fitted too. A new spoiler was fitted to the rear boot as the old one was a wee bit rough and the boot de-wipered and painted. This is the car as it sits... Ready for it's final flatten, compound and polish... Thanks for reading, Browner.
