ep91ash Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Hi lads, just bought a Glanza v last week, new to jap cars too after having a fiesta st, and all my mates being in the German scene, I'm a loner haha.... Already got power mods in mind and going to start looking, I'll probably do a build thread too... Got some questions and queries also, loads as I'm not very clued up on these.... So all help appreciated..... The first thing I need to look at is the gearbox, it has an LSD box apparently, on the test drive it was sound, but a few times now gearing down, the car struggles going to 3rd, doesn't make a noise or anything, just won't go in, been told the syncro's are prone to going....?! Driving normally, gearing up, it's fine.... But I might get the box rebuilt anyway when I take offroad to upgrade the turbo to the hybrid kit....Anyway, hope to get familiar with you all and attend meets and shows etc...Ashley Edited July 11, 2013 by ep91ash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Welcome mate. Good chance it is your synchros does it go into 3rd ok when the engine isnt running though? Check your cables and stuff aswell before jumping in. Its also worth having a look to see if it really is the LSD box theres a thread on here that shows you the visual differances so that you can identify them. Anyway enjoy boost, your ST will be nothing but a memory shortly. Fords suck dick lol. Edited July 11, 2013 by StuDoc 72 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ep91ash Posted July 11, 2013 Author Share Posted July 11, 2013 Cheers mate, I'll have a look as and when I can buddy, I'm going to look at the cables and stuff anyway, before doing the box.... Looking forward to tuning it anyway, it's bit as fast as the st just yet but not far off.... Going to get it looking mint first and make sure everything's sound, then start modding... Also want to look at brake upgrades etc... So will be doing some browsing on here very often... Already made my st induction kit fit on the car already, and removed the box and can feel a better throttle response already... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Welcome to UKSO! If your interested in tuning your starlet.. Have a read through these tuning guides:http://www.ukstarletowners.com/page/articles.html/_/tuning-stages/ Gearbox wise... If its your daily driver... Id advise to get a 2nd gearbox that's used... Rebuild that and then swap them over! Your also VERY local to Race-Tech Motorsport.... So if you want any help with tuning there the people to speak too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
