    Could be the alternator belt, when worn they will go hard and start to slip and screech pretty loud,

    if the noise is constant, slacken or remove the belt to see if noise goes or not.  

    Not belt squeal belts are all good I did a quick timing check and have spotted that the inner pulley seems to be moving constantly so where it's meant to line up it goes past and keeps going

    Could be the idler tensioner pulley. How loud is it?

    Fairly loud like a squeal rattle sound it's nothing I've heard before on a starlet 

  2. How's things lads and lasses I'm hoping one of you have came across this before I recently picked up a 98 glanza rep the first few days car seemed fine part from two shot rear wheel bearings and a half mangled exhaust but in the last few days this god awful squeal has appeared  now I know it's not the belts bearing in mind the timing belt is way over due but I know these make a high pitched super charger squeal when there to tight this is like a metal spinning sound if you rev it seems to stop coming from bottom pulley area I think I've looked at the pulleys and they look ok and the crank bolts definitely tight enough 

    Is this a bearing or crank problem 

  3. As far as I know there's no difference I've had all sorts of lowering springs some cheap some more dear different springs depending on there drop act different ways if you just want a small drop 30mm would suit if you want to go lower 40mm I'd suggest some upgraded shocks I've 40mm springs on standard shocks and there horrid I've ordered new kyb gas shocks instead 

    All depends on budget and what you want from the suspension if you plan on a few strip runs get a good set of springs and decent shocks 

  4. Take the rear bumper off and you can spray down the inside of the rail too iirc

    I had planned on pulling bumper off back and looking at the rear panel so will spray the shultz while im there

    Ive spotted a small hole in boot floor a wire brush should clean it up and treat the boot floor

    Is there anything you can buy to spray on rust and attentp to kill it
