Liam_D Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Right not really much going on with the car at the minute, Only changes have been fitting the Glanza inner arches to make everything look tidier, and adding a few little stickers. No pics because there pointless lol. Bad news, Car has broke again. Same problem as before so i have ordered a brand new Idle Control Valve from Toyota to sort the problem once and for all. That should be with me sometime next week hopefully. Cant believe how much Toyota charge for the ICV but it had to be done. Few pics from the other thread of how the car stands at the minute.

Liam_D Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 Right well had the new idle control valve on for a few weeks now and it hasnt sorted it in any way.Car now keeps cutting out under hard braking, and sometimes on idle.Going to a diagnostics centre tomorrow to get checked for the final time, if theres no problems that arise this will be the end of the project im afraid to say.

Dean @RW-Developments Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Insurance companies are gay man dont get rid as said before 4efte it! honestly mate you would be supprised the way it works,im insured with sky everythink declared as a 4efte conversion rollcage the lot this was when i was 19/20 with a crash my fault with 1 year ncb and i pay £1040 fpft but like 4 like all i did was battle adrian flux and sky insurance for me to insure a glanza was over £1600 and a gt was like 1100 odd, sky told me the reason its cheeper is cus its not an import! what they do is combine the starlet sportif with wat year and model the engine is out of so they basically combined uk sportif with the gt engine so is pretty cheep. if id used a glanza engine then it would be more lol you should get a quote you might be supprised Dean Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Gutted for you mate seems like a strange little problem, bet it turns out to be something simple!!Hope it gets sorted bud love this motor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Liam_D Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Insurance companies are gay Totally agree mate!! ahhh not good to hear bud like this n/a as well!! what would you get if you move on??get a GT kinda cheap to insure Cheers mate, i love this car but its being a right bitch at the minute. If i moved on i reckon ill move away from Starlets if im being honest. Would love a GT but insurance isnt gonna happen for a good few years yet. Would probably end up getting a EG Civic or something. man dont get rid as said before 4efte it! honestly mate you would be supprised the way it works,im insured with sky everythink declared as a 4efte conversion rollcage the lot this was when i was 19/20 with a crash my fault with 1 year ncb and i pay £1040 fpft but like 4 like all i did was battle adrian flux and sky insurance for me to insure a glanza was over £1600 and a gt was like 1100 odd, sky told me the reason its cheeper is cus its not an import! what they do is combine the starlet sportif with wat year and model the engine is out of so they basically combined uk sportif with the gt engine so is pretty cheep. if id used a glanza engine then it would be more lol you should get a quote you might be supprised DeanIve tried loads of times to get quotes mate,and they've all come back as 'unable to insure due to high performance' so dont think a conversion is going to work either. Gutted for you mate seems like a strange little problem, bet it turns out to be something simple!!Hope it gets sorted bud love this motorTell me about it mate, weird aint the word lol i know its gonna be something simple after all this money ive spent on it. Wednesday is the deciding day mate. Wheather she stays or goes is all down to Wednesday. SERIOUSLY!! Considering a 5E conversion now, just trying to find a mint engine for a reasonable price.
