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 m

Well as a lot of you know I have this car quite a while now but never posted about it until now. Said I would throw up a spec list with a few pics. What yas think? I have the car stripped down at the minute while I decide what i want to do with it. Engine is compression tested to 168psi across all four cylinders. Car is remapped and made 190bhp and 191lbs so not a bad little motor for a standard turbo Spec list and pics as follows: HKS SSQV Blow Off Valve HKS Adjustable Actuator HKS F-CON PRO ECU HKS Iridium Spark Plugs HKS Mushroom Filter CUSCO 1.5 Way L.S.D. Cusco Safety 21 Full 7 Poin

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

I have a lot of work planned for the car over the next few weeks so said I'd start a build thread... I want everyone's help and opinions as I go, good or bad, so let me know... I've had a few Glanzas now but I finally found a good one that I liked... this is my 99 Glanza V when I first bought it... The car needed quite a bit of tidying but I could see past all the bad points and most of it was an easy fix. The body was clean, the engine compression was very good when we pressure tested it, it wasn't smokey and handled better than my previous cars so decided this was the one if I wante

Yes mate make me an offer

Hiya lads I have a 6 speed Levin BZR box here and wanted to know will the diff fit into any of the 3 gearboxes above that I can bolt up to a Starlet? As far as I know the Glanza and GT boxes have an 8 stud crownwheel and the Cynos box has a 6 stud crownwheel. I think the Levin BZR box also has a 6 stud crownwheel. I have heard of lads doing it before but dunno if it's true. Can it be done and if so how? Thanks, Browner.

Yeah I see that. Was also looking at these what do you think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/8x-ICHIBA-45mm-12x...#ht_4134wt_1438

Wasn't sure what section to ask this in so I'll keep it quick and informal. I have a huge forged 5e Glanza almost finished completion. It has a very big spec and was looking for someone to advise me on what type of custom high lift cams would best suit my setup? Can anybody recommend anyone? Thanks, Browner.

I recently fitted spacers to my Glanza but I'm worried that the standard wheel studs don't offer enough bite on the wheel nuts. First of all, what are the length of standard Glanza wheel studs? I think the front and back studs are all the same length. And does anyone know any good sites where I can buy extended wheel studs to cope with my spacers extra width? Thanks a million, Browner.

I have this carbon bonnet at home that I took off a Glanza. The carbon wrap looks old on it ie: very big grains etc compared to newer ones I've had. It has a Toyota stamp on the underside. Is it possible that it's a rare factory extra carbon fibre bonnet?

Hi guys, sorry I'm probably posting in the wrong section but wasn't sure what one, if any, I should post in. Basically I just want to know how I set my PM settings that all my sent items are saved rather than deleted automatically? Can anyone help me please? Thanks a million, Conor.

Hmm might sell up so. Need money to finish my build. Don't really want to sell it though it's grown on me even though I'm not a fan of carbon lol

I was on ebay and saw every colour imaginable except blue lol. You say HKS are green and yellow. On ebay it shows a range of colours made by HKS apparaently. And what's teh main difference between the 2 layer wet and 3 layer dry filters?

Lads where can I buy a blue filter foam element for a 200mm HKS mushroom filter? I've been all over the internet looking but no joy. Also what is the difference between 2 layer wet and 3 layer dry?

Yeah I'm looking here at the gear ratios of different boxes. The longer 3rd and 4th should suit me better. What about final drive? I see the longest final drive Toyota does is the 3.7 Sorry for all the questions but gear ratios are all totally new to me so I'm only learning Cheers lads

Hiya lads, I'm in the middle of my forged 5e build. I have a TRD mechanical diff and wanted to use a Cynos box as I almost done the clock in it in 3rd gear and the gears were really long in it so wanted to use it for my Glanza build. The Cynos crown wheel was 6 stud whereas the Glanza crown wheel and my diff were 8 stud so I thought by swapping the crown wheels the diff would fit but now I'm told it won't? Something to do with the main shaft or something aparently? Anyway I have to find a new box asap. I have read up on gear ratios on the net and final drives etc but don't understand it at a

I hated the carbon bonnet I thought it looked cheap and tacky. I have the TRD carbon clock sorrounds aswel nice thing to have I wouldn't sell them but don't think I'd put them on my car either lol. I love all OEM stuff I've gone to a lot of hassle chasing standard parts but I think a standard looking Glanza with the Recaro fishnet's and full set of splitters is a lot rarer than a kitted Glanza. Anyway I have a mint Varis carbon bonnet if I ever fancied a change. I might sell the bonnet or might spray it white and fit it what do yous think? And yeah I bought the hot pipe off a lad who lives c

sterling or euro?

Well lads, I have a very clean Varis carbon bonnet here. Not on the car very long. How much would one in very good condition go for 2nd hand?

I have a post up in the projects section with plenty of pics mate. Can't seem to upload an Avatar though any ideas?

I just copied and pasted this over from Toyota Owners Club Irl. Nearly finished now hopefully. Enjoy...!

Tried to register on the site this morning but it said someone was already using my email address lol so thought hmm... Turns out I was already a member but never posted yet! I'm Browner, I'm 19 and from Dublin in Ireland. Driving a white 99 spec Glanza V which I'm in the middle of a forged 5e build at the moment. I'll stick up a thread and some pics in the projects section. A few lads on here will know me well from other sites so looking forward to learning a bit more and meeting a few new faces. Cheers lads talk soon, Browner.
