WatchDog Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hello everyone. I am a proud starlet owner and have been for the past 4 years now. How ever i am a little bit annoyed with a certain forum member who is abusing the starlet community. This certain member has been selling faulty starlet parts and also selling dodgy glanzas. He lives in the kent area and uses pistonheads and gumtree to advertise. Most of the parts he sells are sold as working and good condition but they never are and are always broken.He has been buying and selling glanzas for the past year but with a little secret. He buys them very very cheap, Paints the engine bay then has a load of photo copyed Receipts and dyno graphs claiming that the cars are running high quality performance parts and running nice power figure's when really there not and the receipts are from another car. Then the car gets put up for sale with a false description. Also most of the glanzas he sells he puts a FCD on and ups the boost to about 1bar 1.3bar with out the fuelling being set up right so they normally dont last long.It really piss's me off how people can do this and get away with it so id thought i would give everyone on here a heads up before they get ripped off. The username he uses on here is Glanza85 and this is a link to a glanza he has for sale at the mo:http://www.gumtree.c...arlet/107257018Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Malcom-gt put up a thread asking about this car hate people that do that really pisses me off Link to post Share on other sites
WatchDog Posted July 31, 2012 Author Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yea looks like his account been deleted. Yes it might look clean and it does look very clean but its not as its advertised and the boost has been rasied without the fuelling mods.I know all this as i know him and am disgusted in what he is doing and i think it is wrong. There are plenty of members on here that know him and know what he is like. No one has said anything up until now Link to post Share on other sites

Im not doing this for hate or anything like that i just dont think its right at all to see someone ripping people off and making money from it. The car looks nice yes engine bay is very clean ect. The gearbox has a problem going into 2nd gear, The boost has been raised up with out fuelling. He sold a glanza v not so long ago and the boy didn't even make it home it blew a piston. By all means go and veiw the car but its not as he states in the ad. Half that ad on gumtree is copyed from my maes starlet that he just sold Link to post Share on other sites
Malcolm GT Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Cheers trisk, its not just one persons word. Had a call today from a mate who knows them too. I queried the fuelling and he said it was running just a fcd, asked if set up at all but no mention of this Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza_Ragger Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Hi guys, long time no see lol. Haven't been on this forum for years, even if I did used to live on here.To the long time residents of this forum, you will remember me. I've been in the starlet scene for over 8 years now, and I think its only fair to warn people what this guy is doing. I know him personally, and this is all totally true. His name is Aaron Taylor, and he lives in Larkfield, I can't remember the road name. He's constantly buying written off starlets and bodging them together to flog on at the going rate of a mint one. He uses heavy grade engine oil in gearboxs to quiten them up, paints them up to look tidy, copys the dyno graphs and reciepts from HIS old starlet and tells people there for the engine he is currently selling.Plus much more horror I wont go into. Please, spread this and warn others, toyotagtturbo woulc be a great place to start. I would, but I can't use the email address I signed up to tgtt.com with many moons ago.by the way, he fots fcds with no fuelling mods, hides the fcd somewhere so you can't see it, and cranks the boost up well over a bar. I know this again fpr a fact because I've seen him do it myself. The unsuspecting victim will test drive what looks to be a standard starlet, and think to themselves wow, this pulls amazing.it may but it wont last long.please make everybody aware of this scam artist and try and stop it. He lists on ebay, piston heads, uksc and tgtt, all under different usernames. Link to post Share on other sites
