Jamie5414 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Lights look like they need refurbing. Get some wet and dry on them really fine then polish them with a mop Looks awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fremyjay Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 You will notice a bit of difference when you decat, especially the noise bud. And standard audio is awful always a good to upgrade it =] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 It's not much louder is it? i can't hear it at all at the moment and ye im putting vibe speakers all round running on a jbl amp with a vibe sub with built in amp and a new double din alpine stereo.

fremyjay Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 When i decatted mine it sounded lots louder but then it will vary car to car on your setup and exhaust system Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zeldoz Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I had a HKS Hi Silent power. Decat made it louder and burble! Can hear the little CT9 spool away now!I changed the midsection this evening so I'm straight threw sounds the nuts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) My front lowering springs have snapped, i noticed the lad before me put lowering springs with standard shocks on which isnt the best thing to do :L so ive ordered my new lowering springs with upgraded shocks for front and rear Edited December 9, 2013 by scottieboi94 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starlet-Joshy Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Car looks nice buddy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 Thanks mate, turbo stopped working at the moment so its been off the road for a week turbo blades are hitting something, it spins but it hits something so am taking it off to see what it is Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) Fitted the new turbo (stuck with a ct9 again for minimal lag), fitted apex 35mm springs with kyb shocks all round, fitted new japspeed alluminium radiator and had a new water pump installed. One of the old springs had snapped which is why i decided to get the new springs haha: Looking at the old radiator im sure you can guess why i bought a new one Edited December 9, 2013 by scottieboi94 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 My next plans are an oil change, ngk iridium spark plugs, new alternator belt, maybe some new wheels?. I also need to sort the blowing from the manifold that i have aswell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
1991 starlet owner Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'd get the manifold sorted mate, ngk heat range 6 probably and some decent leads (Magnecore I'd go for) if it doesn't already! Tom. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Got leads already and ive bought heat range 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scottieboi94 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 (edited) My manifold is blowing now though was going down the motorway and there was a bang from the engine bay and the manifold started blowing from then on Edited December 9, 2013 by scottieboi94 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ro55ifumi Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Either WEPR or Zisco for a ct9 mani John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I have racetech, apparently there good and its quite new Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Just put a new Speedvision stage 2 hybrid turbo on the Glanza running 0.9 bar and have also done an oil change, next plans that will be happening very soon are a jam racing ecu, installing NGK iridium spark plugs and trying to find a blitz decat pipe. Have now sorted the issue I had with blowing from the manifold, turns out the manifold gasket and manifold to turbo gasket both didn't work at all! :L have now been replaced with oem Toyota gaskets from ID Works and work absolutely spot on! Here's a few pics of the new turbo compared with the stock CT9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scottieboi94 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) JAM ECU, Blitz Decat and NGK Iridium spark plugs (Heat Range 7) have now been fitted. There is a massive improvement in performance from the ECU, there is barely any wheelspin at all and there is a considerately big difference in power aswell, well worth buying one. I thought once i put the decat on it would be a lot louder, but there is barely any difference, its still very quiet which is good, which is what i wanted anyway.

scottieboi94 Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 I have also installed some new indigo dials for my dash. They were expensive but they look a lot better, you can control the brightness and change the dial colour from blue to green which is pretty cool aswell . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eynonz Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Nice. I got the same Dials, love them. The green on them looks a bit poo though, I just stick with the blue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
