funny onion

Yeah I have a fuel pressure regulator and a wideband fitted to keep an eye on the afr's. Power wise the more breathing mods the better the power figure but you can use them on a virtually standard car tbh Would recommend

Just fitted teh SRF you sold to me a few month ago, totally recommend it, transformed the car!

Thanks for the comments guys, a few people who have seen it in person have said that i should've done the car all that colour, if i ever get another glanza project i will! I still have a load of the paint left Seeing as i never got around to putting some photos of the valve stem seals here you go; And a few wee updates... Splashed out (again) on an OEM rear brace and plastics and managed to get it fitted yesterday; Bought a few CT9's off members on here inclusing a speedvision hybrid so i've got my fingers crossed that one of them will be ok and not smoke/s

So those of you I know in person will know that I have a fair few starlets, not just the Glanza and the GT Advance that people have seen on here... As the Glanza was approaching a roadworthy position, I was looking for a project for the future. I was sort of keeping an eye open on here/facebook/ebay etc but wasn't actively looking. I had rough ideas for a glanza or GT project. If i ended up with another glanza, i wanted to spray the full car the same colour as my recent project glanza (bright pearl pink basically like the cruise pink). If i got a GT I always had fancied making one up to lo

I'm not sure exactly but I do know that when I went to swap housings on a top entry and side entry td04 the impellers were totally different and as a result I couldn't swap housings

You need different headlight brackets but yes everything fits. The electrical plugs may be different but everything can be wired to suit. I have a mk1 bumper with dogs and splitter I used to have on my gt

Are you picking parts up from someone? It's my birthday tomorrow so I'll be out for the day or I would've met you and had this from you

Awh dude what time you coming to Grimsby Saturday?

Why do things just look so good in primer? Really hope it's done for JAE, would love to see it! (and pester you for some spraying advice haha)

It could do with checking so that you know it's fueling ok. do you have a wideband? 2.6 seems a bit lowtbh, how did you set it? with the vac line off or on?

Welcome!

The adjustable ones have several holes, the non adjustable ones only have one

This is totally awesome! My plan for the MK2 i've just bought is to do a rep of the TOMS GT but it won't be a patch on this!

It lives again! New engine is now fitted and running well. While the engine was out took the oppertunity to do the driveshaft seals on the gearbox as they were a bit weepy and i had already bought them from toyota a while back. Stuck the standard CT9 that came with the MK2 i bought on while I get the tongs sent off to liam when i get organised. Turns out the seals have gone on that one too. This car literally hates me haha. It's fine on boost/cruising/over run, but when you open the throttle after over run it guffs a load of smoke out. And in traffic it smokes a fair bit too haha b

Mine is set at medium. I don't think i'd want mine on hard because the c pillar, 3 point rear strut and cage make it very stiff on the rear already :/

Cheers anyway, i'm tempted to get the standard one on there and take the chance. my unit is becoming a storeage area for knackered 4efte's and turbo's haha

It's gto some scoring on the shaft and had some fair carbon deposits. Took it apart to put new seals in and found it to be in a bit of a mess, but hopefully he can sort something with it. standard ct9 in the meantime

Spoke to him yesterday, going to get my tongs to him and see if he can do anythign with it, if not he can build me one which is cool so either way could be sorted hopefully!

Yeah it's a nice colour to spray, much more forgiving than metallic paint. my EP80 is 3E5 red too I need to start a thread for my other starlets actually, i'll get a load of pics tonight or tomorrow and get some threads going. Moved onto the GT for something fresh because this glanza was driving me insane lol Maybe this weekend it will be back out on the road, we will see... lol

I did think about that option- I'll drop him a message now, cheers!

2K primer, single part paint, 2k lacquer Just started spraying my MK2 GT bits in 2k 3E5 red (the same red glanzas come in) and i find it much easier to work with. Makes me wish i'd have done the glanza in a solid colour tbh not metallic

I would've never dared respray my Advance but seeing as this was already sanded down i had no choice. Could have matt blacked it but i personally hate matt blacked cars- just looks cheap and nasty to me but i can understand why people do it.

Yeah tell me about it, worst luck ever. Luckily the MK2 GT i bought a few months ago came with (what appears to be) a good standard CT9 so i'll probably just fit that until i can find another hybrid or see if it's worth rebuilding mine. Stupid cars.

bump

Lol didn't bother checking clearances, I knew i was taking a risk but i thought it was worth a try. But no, knocked again when i fired it up... So as it stands i bought another engine off socks and thats in now Went to put new seals in the turbo while it was off and upon taking it apart found it was coked up to hell and the shaft was scored... So the bad luck continues, and hence the wanted thread for another turbo
