For sale: 1997 Toyota Starlet Glanza V

Item Condition: Good

Price and price conditions: £3,800 ono

Extra Info:This is a reluctant sale of my Glanza which I've owned for over 9 years now. :(

The car is generally in very good condition for its age with the usual small marks to the body but the paint is very good having been regularly clayed and polished. The engine was fully rebuilt by myself just over 1,500 miles ago - so is properly run in and running very well, I compression tested it after the run in and it showed over 165psi on each cylinder, all the same.

The car itself has done approx. 100k miles, the clock reads 133k but this is a mix of miles and km's before import.

The engine was rebuilt due to a cracked piston, this was replaced and the engine rebuilt as follows:

Cylinders honed
New Hastings piston rings
New OEM head gasket
New King Main and Crank bearings
Seal replaced
Cylinder head re-built (de coked)
New uprated valve stem seals fitted
etc

So the engine is in very good health. The car is running the stock turbo which is a refurbished unit and has done approx. 30k miles, the car is running sensible mods and boost with a proper ecu set up (Greddy Emanage Blue) and is about to be rolling roaded to check the fuelling (on 22/10/14), it's estimated to be running 180-190bhp but this will be confirmed.

The car is fully poly bushed and running Meister R coilovers which are the best coilovers for the UK roads, so the car handles very well too. The full modification list is below and includes evo 7 recaros which make a huge difference to the driving and also a very rare genuine cruise bonnet plus lots more!

There isn't much service history as I've done all the work myself for the last 8 years but there is a folder full of receipts and the car was religously serviced every 3k miles as recommended by Toyota. Almost everything has been replaced at some point, the engine oil, gearbox oil, coolant, brake fluid and clutch fluid have all just been changed and a brand new exedy clutch was just fitted so the car will not need anything soon. It is MOT'd until July.

I would love to keep this but the itch for an evo is too great! :(

Right, people may have seen I had an issue with the gearbox and it actually died whilst the car was being mapped, so I've fitted a low mileage (73k) gearbox from a GT which works perfectly - and is stronger than a glanza box and has better ratios.

The car's now running perfectly however it is leaking oil from what appears to be the gearbox side crankshaft seal - a very common thing! I replaced the seal when I rebuilt the engine but then had it off to check it when I changed the gearbox as it was weeping slightly but now it's worse.

I'm picking up a new car this weekend and don't really have time to sort this, so for a quick sale and due to the oil leak and the map needing finished the price is £3,400. If I don't get that I'll find the time to change the crank seal again then get it mapped and it will be back up in price.

It's a cheap fix - £13 for the seal and a few hours labour plus the mapping is half done so if done at Wallace performance will cost £60
