jimmymac101 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 You need to pick up a cheap ass daily mate Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 You need to pick up a cheap ass daily mate Dont get me wrong ive though about getting a daily but if I do the starlet won't ever get driven and thats a waste I built it to drive when it works lol Quote
jimmymac101 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Even if it was a slow as rusty peice of shit, and the starlet sat there for good sunny days and weekends ? I'm sure it would get driven enough to warrant the money you have spent ? James Quote
ro55ifumi Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Decision time. They don't make a very good tuned daily with your set up. Rob H ran his daily on low boost and rev limited. Only way they last. Get a daily or break it as it will pissed you off! To the point you hate it. If I could sell mine complete it would be gone tomorrow but no one is willing to pay for a complete car a decent price.John Quote

Look at Connors white V for example. That has been sold to a member on here for good money! Quote

akyakapotter Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 I'll look into a daily when funds allow the glanza has wanted so much of my hard earned lately I'm skint lol. ill have to look into insurance ect for a second car. your right John I currently hate it so much I won't break it as people want something for nothing and mess you around constantly.

Sefton-EP91 Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Mine is a daily at 300bhp and the exact same setup as you! I agree with john 100% I drive mine around on low boost everywhere, it's plenty of fun and with my driving style it very rarely ever sees over 5k rpm. Stick at it though mate, you won't regret it. Hope it all goes together for you either way Edited July 21, 2015 by Sefton-EP91 Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 21, 2015 Author Posted July 21, 2015 I drive around on 1.2 98% of the time I will keep at it don't worry about that Quote
Rob H@RCH Engineering Posted July 21, 2015 Posted July 21, 2015 Mine is running 257@ the wheels as a daily done colse to 40k now 30k at 230 wheel and the rest at 257 only prob I have had upto now was water in a coil after washing the engine lol it is getting it quite easy now tho as I use the glanzif more as a daily and that thing is awesome fun thrash it to death and it loves it! Stands me at 200 quid and and 150 a year insurance! Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 22, 2015 Author Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Spoke to a friend of mine today who is making me an oilcooler with an line thermostat as I can't use a filter sandwich plate because of the turbo position. All the parts for that are in so shouldnt be long till I get that another thing ticked off the list Edited July 23, 2015 by akyakapotter Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 24, 2015 Author Posted July 24, 2015 (edited) Turbo arrived today. Tuning Developments and the turbo builder they used kindly split the bill between them which I am over the moon with. Can't ask for better customer service. It's a shame it's raining today as I wanted to get it fitted. If the weather let's me I will get it back on later. Edited July 24, 2015 by akyakapotter Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 25, 2015 Author Posted July 25, 2015 Managed to get the turbo on late last night. Finished fitting today just been out and done 50miles to break the turbo in. Bring on the boost let's see if I can get the love back for this car Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) So picked this little lot up today will be fitted when I have my next lot of days off. Edited July 30, 2015 by akyakapotter Quote
jimmymac101 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Nice looking cooler how's she running now buddy ? James Quote
akyakapotter Posted July 30, 2015 Author Posted July 30, 2015 So far so good mate just clocked 200 miles on the new turbo. Yeah cooler looks good can't wait to get it on Quote
Sefton-EP91 Posted August 1, 2015 Posted August 1, 2015 Cooler looks awesome, if you don't mind me asking, how much did that lot cost you? Been looking for a cooler as I'm looking to do a few track days once I have an LSD. PM if you want mate! keep up the good work mate and glad to hear it's still going! Quote
akyakapotter Posted August 3, 2015 Author Posted August 3, 2015 Got the cooler mounted up and relocation kit mounted up under the front drivers wheel behind the plastic inner arch over the weekend. Got stressed out trying to work out how to plumb it in so gave up and went for a drive over dartmoor. car preformed really well gave me a little more faith in it. will give the oil cooler another bash on my next 4 days off Quote
akyakapotter Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Got my self some new gauges so i can keep an eye on things. The prosprot oil pressure will be getting replaced to suit the new ones. just waiting on sensor adapters to fit the sensors then thats another job done.just got to plumb in the oil cooler then its ready for japfest 2.
