tjhooker2 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 so i baught a 1997 Glanza V the other day from a breakers yard because it was too cheap to pass on. The plan is to make this a seriously quick car.so first things first. Exhaust/de cat and manifold: I have decided on the Buddy Club Spec 2 stright through exhaust but its finding a manifold that im finding hard, cheap ones are cheap for a reason(AUTOBAHN88-JPERFORMANCE-JAPSPEED), but the only othes i can find are close to £1000. Any suggestions on a quality manifold that will not cost more then i paid for the car, what do u have? ive all ready decieded on a front mount intercooler(Blitz),boost controler(Apexi AVC-R ) but can not make my mind up on the ecu or the iduction, what would u recomend? im leaning towards the Greedy E-manage and thinking about relocating the air filter to down by the radiator, again, what do you have? Ive tried adding pics but will not accept them, i click insert image , but will not let me take them off my comp? wants a http address? how do i add pictures? Quote
andy.i Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 dane at sps on tgtt does some shit hot manifolds Quote
Galliano Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Nice one, another Starlet saved use www.photobucket.com - sign up there and then upload pics to that, then copy the IMG link and paste it into your post Good luck and i look forward to seeing its progress Quote
Bildo Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I'd recommend buying a manifold from Keith @ Zisco, here is his trader page: http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....showtopic=16578Bare in mind that the prices are in € and include all shipping fees and as Malta are in the EU you don't have import fees either.Very good mani's for the price and a pleasure to deal with.

Galliano Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Ouch buddy thats got damage, do you plan to put it right? Quote
5T4R7ET N/A Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Welcome to the forum. Yes, another starlet saved.Induction Kit Relocation - U can get a relocatio kit from Toytuning.com.As for manifolds theres SPS Dane, toytuning, Race-tech (Username - Starbus). All at good pricesSorry i cant get hold of links at the mo Quote
Markoos Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Hi mate, sounds like you have some nice plans for it! I personally in the way of manifolds would just buy an autobahn one and get the welds re-done and braced which from a fabricators will cost you Max £20 and then get the mani skimmed so it sits flush and bosh! you have yourself a manifold that is actually good and doesnt cost 7 billion pounds!relocation kits yet again i would reccomend toy tuning when he's back up and running.Markoos Quote
tjhooker2 Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 it only needs a new passenger door and ill pull most of the dink on the back quater out , lucky enough i have a mate with a spray shop so its not going to cost me much, thank god.thanks for all your replys uve helped with the manifold issue. can any one shed some light on ecu's , as i understand it the Greddy e-management sounds the best to me after adding uprated fule pump and fule regulator, but this needs setting up by a proffesional etc (so Greddy say). is their any piggy back ecu's or stand alone ecus which just plug in?

tjhooker2 Posted May 3, 2009 Author Posted May 3, 2009 Update so far, came out of the spray shop looking like new. fitted new exhaust(blue flame - just doesnt sit right in my opinion but sounds great)manifold ( j-performance , had it braced etc ) de cat, hks acuator , a/f relocation kit & hks ssqv, discovered prat that had it before must not have had any air filter on or was using it to mix cement because blades on turbo are worn down to nothing(3mm left at the most), geee wizz . excuse for a new turbo tho (ct9 hybrid from enzo is what ive decided on when pay day comes back round & hdi fmic)Sprayed interior black . some before and after shotsand after Quote
