    You'd get more pleasure fitting out of fitting something like this, but it would probably get you in alot of trouble :)

    I guess I'm illustrating my lack of knowledge now but what the hell is the story with the air brake sound that the toy racers (sorry..boy racers :D) seem to have on their Starlets (sorry......Glanza's) every time they use the clutch. I assume its some kind of air actuated clutch? If it is an air actuated clutch what is the advantage over a regular clutch?

    Pass no heed of them hornet, shower of big bullies. I can see where you are coming from with the clutch thing. Obviously you heard the pisssst sound when the car was changing gear and assumed it was to do with the clutch. I hadn't a clue what the hell it was either for a long time and used to stare at the Glanza making it as it tore off up the street, all aerials and blue luminous under lighting with the standard skobie looking fecker behind the wheel. Just like everyone else on here i had to ask/learn/look it up to find out what it was and like most on here i looked stoopid when i asked.

    Yep. That was it Fossie. Assumed it was to do with the clutch because it coincided with the gear change.

    You learn something new every day I suppose :).
