having owned a glanza 270hp previously (great little cars) am wanting somthing abit more grown up 
been looking at a mk2 rev 3 turbo's. (black) is there any major pro blems that these cars have? also am i asking to much with a budget of 2.5k for a nice one? any more info would be great (was original one) not too expensive to get done. Had the odd caliper problem again easy to solve. Plenty of good examples out there worth posting and getting advice once you find one. Usually someone on here has seen it or knows about it, especially if has gone through a mod programme 
is it a engine out job for the clutch n belts? and is the difference from a rev2 to a rev 3 noticable on the road? Didn't think it was worth the heart ache. 
think ive seen a rev that i like. just a cpl of more questions. how do i know its a rev3? is there any codes? also it says it has a lsd again any codes? what boost do the run standard? when i rang the bloke said its turned down to 5psi 
from previous turbo cars i have had they all seem to run about 8/10 psi stock? could anyone confirm the above please- 1996 should be able to find that on the registration docs if you can get a view of it. Other than that the round rear lights are a give away unless it has been converted. apart from a thew things like the boost running only 5psi anyway came off phone thought id do a hpi check came back as a cat d 
- if it's been repaired to a high standard then it's no big deal. It should knock a fair bit off the price though...(on the front bulkhead, between the headlights sort of) there's a transmission code. It will say E153 xxx (For example E153 735). If it ends in a 3 or a 5 then your car had an LSD from the factory.- the only club to win 'Best Club Stand' at JAE more than once, and twice in a row!+ if i ever came to sell it on it does put alot of people off.+ belts need doing..doesnt really give me any confidance not sure if 2500 reflects the cat d + belts need doing???? Wouldn't be fussed if it was just body panels everything bar the rear quarter is just bolted on. (just need to look at my on going repair work!)daz27gt wrote:thanks for ur reply.
- 1 piece spoiler, round style rear lights, being the turbo it wont have a big metal box (AFM) after the air intake turning down to 5 is odd.. is it fked? it states that its running an uprated actuator? so boost is running below actuator pressure?.. look for smoke out your rear view mirror when you toe it. boost should be smooth. and will check for any obvious signs ect..the bloke seems really coffident that the car runs like a dream??all i can do is go and view it and take it for a good test drive.re the boost yeh im confused with that but if it is running 5psi i will ask to turn it up to standard boost Really nice condition. Drives really nice. Just a cpl of probs clutch started to slip on way back on motorway. Still not sure what boost it's Reading think he turned it up but it's Reading 3\4 on the standard gauge? Any idea what psi that is? Don't really wanna start messing with the boost controller! Thanks.. The stock boost gauge isn't terribly accurate.- the only club to win 'Best Club Stand' at JAE more than once, and twice in a row!Neptune wrote:stock boost is 13 psi on rev3,
stock act is 7 psi, i image an uprated one should be what 10psi?
ask to set the psi back to standard see how it drives then.
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way.
. but the boost im still lost with? its showing up as 8/9 psi on the blitz boost controller..from what i can see its a standard actuator none adjustable.???????? not sure if that sounds abour right re the standard boost gauge reading 3/4. any more suggestions would be great thanks daz I'm sure I've got 1 lying about in garage might be worth just fitting it temp to c what boost.it's making?
