Not much of an update but cleaned the car today and will crack on fitting a couple of bits tomorrow. Picked a spare set of ST185 disks, they're black ceramic coated and look almost too good to use. All machined and re drilled so when I swap the brakes over from the SR I'll probably chuck these on. Also managed to get another bit of genuine carbon, probably payed a bit much but I've already got the centre console plastic in carbon fibre and missed one a while back. Will be changing my dash bulbs shortly so will fit this then.

Pm'd

Oh mate 😦

Nice.

Ok dude no worries GLWS

Don't spose your interested in a swap for some 98 specs with a spare set of lenses? (Thinking about it, your already running some aren't you lol?) for the reflets.

Do we have limited numbers or something this year? I don't like change 😒 lol

My car is running way better now the O2 sensors hooked up.......was defo running rich and the idle was low and lumpy!

Thanks for the comments lads........yea I've gone a little overboard with the bracing but it was pretty much my favorite bit of the SR and looks awsome with the seats and harnesses in No under car bracing yet, cusco panhard and front underbrace to go on but I know that's just gonna get beaten to death! I think this ones already taken over to be honest 😉 scoobysvx I'm jealous of every single aspect of your car but if you're digging the carbon there's more to come! Got the number plate surround off a guy on eBay who's making them, you can get them with or without the light recesses cut out.

Well.........is she done??

Many people say that a starlet that doesn't leak oil, doesn't have any oil in it lol Both my 4e's have had leaks in that area, common fault I'm afraid

Be interested to see how the carbon number plate surround turns out, I've one fitted retaining the lights.

Welcome along mate!

Best bit Morgey is the stem seals are going on this too lol

Yes it should 😔

I had a genuine Livesports spoiler sprayed up for the SR at a fair it of expense so I decided to give it a go on the v along with the skirts (jury is still out on the skirts though) it almost flows with the darker splitter at the bottom and I've got a carbon rear lip to go on soon. The mrs got me a genuine carbon rear number plate surround for Christmas, was I bit of a mission to fit and I'm not totally happy with the fitment or the state of the car lol Plans for the car in the near future are adapting my cusco cage to fit as it's a non sunroof variant and will require some chopping and welding along with various strut braces and floor bars. I'm currently working on some cruise wings that are going to get wrapped in the next week or so and a pair of Buddyclub P1's are in for rubber!

A few people have asked about a build thread for my Glanza after things went quite with my 4age SR. So I'll try and put up a quick one now. After piling many many months into the SR it was burning oil badly and without taking it off the road to sort the valve stem seals it was going to be useless as a daily! I won't lie I was super gutted as I was hoping for trouble free motoring after all the effort and money spent on the build and I totally lost heart in the car. It's a brilliant car and goes like a scolded rat when pushed but I needed a working car. Long and the short, parked up the SR and went on the hunt for a cheap ish Glanza as a........wait for it "daily" lol After a short hunt about I found a silver V that nearly ticked all the boxes (had a sunroof but more on that later) and was on the south coast. He is a member on here and we struck up a deal for him to bring it down to the port and me and a mate who works for Toyota would catch the ferry over and hopefully return with a Glanza! Dean had driven down with his dad and we had a quick chat and look over the car. I wasn't keen on the Rota's the car was on so after agreeing some money off we swapped on the wheels me and Toby had carried over on the ferry and headed back to the Island. The car didn't have a brilliant spec but had recently had new pistons etc and wasn't running much boost so I was hoping to just drive it. Spec: Ct9 Front mount HKS fuel cut device K&N air filter I wanted to swap some bits over from the SR and I had some carbon wing mirrors so over they went I was enjoying the car and got about a month before the gear selector cable snapped, luckily it literally happend 10 yards away from my mums place so I was able to sort that one without much trouble sourcing one on here! Car was back for a week and the clutch went on my way to work, I managed to get a tow with one of our trucks and parked it up in the barn. The car had a slight crunch into second when it was cold so Dean had included another box in the sale. I'd given that a good clean up and paint so after plucking up the guts to give replacing the clutch a go I thought the box could get swapped while I was at it. The job of stripping everything out and getting the old box off went pretty well considering Id never done it before and I was on my own but fitting the clutch and getting the new box on were freaking me out a bit so I sos'd a mate who knows these little cars inside out and believe it or not he was collecting a forged engine that day and was changing to a different LSD. Soooooooo did I want a cusco flywheel, OEM LSD box and uprated clutch? Of corse I did. James was a massive help on this build both with parts and knowledge. With the weather getting shit I wanted to get a bonnet blank so when a carbon fibre Jam style one popped up I grabbed it. Also found a Leguna splitter and after a bit of cutting got that on the car too. The car had been starting to smoke a little on idle and use a bit of oil so I decided to replace the turbo, James had a reconditioned Tongs hybrid recently done at Midland turbo and a Jam racing ECU for sale so i started getting the rest of the kit together. While I was at it I fitted a civic rad, green hose kit and race spec rocker. I've had a RJ catch can sat here for ages so that was also added with green HT leads (massive props to daniel g for parting with them!) I haven't got any before pics of the bay because I hated it but here's a more recent one. Went for a Zisco compact manifold that ironically had been on James's car, he then sold to another guy who blew his engine and then he offered it to me! The cars currently running low boost as I've not got a massively accurate boost gauge installed but should have a cool update interior wise in the next week that will have that sorted!

Hahaha

Is that centre bar bang up against the roof, the big hoop one?

Put your one up for swaps (bit of cash your way if it's a genuine one you have) someone will rip your arm off! ;)

Not as much as it should be.......that's a pretty special Glanza that mate!

Bride don't make gauges mate. Someone in china did and put Bride branding on one though lol Got one in the shed you can have for a tenner?

Boom pm

Does it sit a bit on the piss along the length of the car, can't really see from the picture? Used to twat my head on the cage when it was in my SR so kind of got used to ducking in......still do it now out of habit lol
