  1. Mine cracked around the stud on the 4th runner because Sam swung off it like a top mechanic when he "nipped them up". I always nip everything up to my standards then Sam checks them. He's now banned. Have it running up to temp, nice and hot, but of wd40 and just go easy
  2. How much would one of these cost? I have strong views on stuff like this as I've spent the last 4 years at uni looking at stuff like this. Personally couldn't pay me to use one. If it was me I'd avoid it.
  3. Just mentioned it to Sam, we're both up for it, someone pm me their number so I can phone one of you if we can't find you!
  4. The value of the car meant it wasn't worth going fully comp. I'm too young to drive other cars, but I thought £1200 was a good price considering my age. I have a few bits like courtesy car etc etc on mine too.
  5. Also with sky, 21 with 4years no claims and everything declared including td04 etc etc was £1200
  6. Yeah I got a bung from an na starlet at scrapyard
  7. Mine does this. There's a hole on the bulkhead that the air con pipes used to go through that is usually the cause. Mines the scuttle panel I think though, had it off about a year ago and didn't get it back on properly
  8. Ha cheers mate, can't believe these havnt sold! I might end up keeping them for the glanza build if nobody wants them, all mint condition as well, lucky to find a decent ct9 for this price!
  9. i reckon we will come up unless the weather is poo, but even then nothing like a drive out on a sunday blow some cobwebs out of the td04's after a weeks city driving
  10. ooooft these wheels are amazing, they suit that white gt with the aero kit so much. if i hadn't just bought another starlet...
  11. UKSO, Y U NO BUY STUFF? >_<
  12. It's a massive cruise, like huge! A good one to come along to!
  13. Me and flaminsam might pop up to this not met any of you lot in person before I don't think?
  14. i reckon with a bit of time and patience you could get the spaces back on with the meisters and panhard rod. yeah i've got my 14's on at the mo (the tyres are awesome for the shitty wet roads) but i put the innovites on the rear the other day to see what they looked like. Looked amazing but will definitely chew everything to pieces. might just try them for a day and see how bad it actually is. I could try setting the panhard rod over to the nearside slightly, not a bad idea. i love the 16's, they look so nice, but one of them is damaged slightly so if i sold them to get 15's it would be for peanuts
  15. I put mine on trd shocks with 50mm drop and it basically wouldn't drive because I had 16" wheels 6.5j and the axle was way way over to the right. It scrubbed on a flat road in a straight line. Was epic. I've ruined a tyre after 20miles. Panhard rod is needed definitely. I'm lifting mine back up as it still scrapes with the rear aligned with a cusco panhard rod. Can't be arsed with rolling the arches etc.
  16. you'll have to pop up sometime and see it mate, hopefully have paint on it around christmas. a friend of a friend has a spray shop, and will provide everything and do a full respray for £500. It's at a proper spray shop so will no doubt come out ten times better than what i can do with rattle cans in a freezing cold lock up haha.
  17. Yeah we have a gt, gt advance and this glanza haha. Pm me an offer ;)
  18. Thanks for the kind words guys. That colour is sexual, love it! Might be a winner ;) I'm going to get the engine bay sprayed so we can put an engine and box in it so its at least towable, can't be messed with putting it on a trailer all the time haha
  19. cheers dude, chuck a link in here if you come across the old thread
  20. cheers there's an r32 skyline local to us that's a very dark midnight purple and it just looks lush haha
  21. So we finally got a glanza! went to buy an LSD gear box off torturedglitch in doncaster (lovely lad) and got chatting, came to a deal for the whole shell, including most of what was left of the car barring a few things. Convinced the better half Sam (flaminsam) to chip in and go halves and start a new project with me, he agreed without a lot of persuasion. The shell itself is a silver 96 spec ep91, but she's been rubbed down and filled in places ready for a full respray. A rough list of what she came with; - complete Engine barring exhaust manifold (debatable working order, will cross that bridge soon) - hybrid ct9 (again unknown condition but doesn't seem to have a lot of shaft play and no cracks etc) - optional 3 point rear strut with all plastics - kyb shocks and lowering springs all round - all callipers, and brake lines but only rear discs - walboro fuel pump - boost gauge - all interior plastics, clocks etc but no seats. - both engine and interior loom, and ecu - all body panels, bootlid, bumpers, spoiler, bonnet, doors, folding wing mirrors etc - fuel pressure regulator - loads of bits like brake servo, clutch cylinder, reservoirs, radiator with hoses, abs sensors etc We don't really have a time scale for the project to be completed but i would like to keep chipping away at it over winter, as and when time and funds allow. it's nice and dry and safe tucked away in the lock up now so no rush and no getting rained off. Plans for it right now are - Full respray, thinking midnight purple or gunmetal grey, but most likely the purple. - engine and box back in and eventually fire her up and see what happens engine wise. - keep the rear stripped, sound deadening carpet in the back - td04 kit eventually - nice set of rims, maybe rotas when the money is there - emanage blue and remap by will at rdt when and if she gets that far Plans may change over time, but that's the rough idea as it stands now. a few pics; dash when we got it home yesterday; bit of time and guess work today and how she looks now; loom is back in place and dash is back in, doesn't look as much of a headache now all that horrible wiring is hidden. I'm really happy with it considering what i payed, and i'm looking forward to seeing it with some paint on it bringing another starlet back to life yay
  22. Come guys offers on a mint turbo/down pipe!
  23. Love
