Sefton-EP91 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 Here we have my 98 Spec Glanza which I purchased back in september 2011. This is the original advert picture: This was the first glanza I had ever been in let alone driven, few things i knew about upon purchasing the car. There was a minor leak coming from the oil feed/drain hose gasket. Brought a braided oil feed/return line and gasket from race tech as id done my research and knew the old ones break. A couple of days after owning the car, the car underwent a full inspection. There was a few small bits that needed sorting! - small misfire at idle - sort fuel pressure regulator (gauge seized) - sort cracked manifold and downpipe - crank seal leaking (minor) - rocker cover gasket leaking I ordered a new dizzy cap and rotor arm along with a set of blitz spark performer HT leads socks had up for sale. Fitted them as soon as arrived! It was MOT time, I had the following done. - manifold and downpipe welded up - changed oil and filter - fitted new spark plugs - coolant flushed - new cambelt - new water pump - new crank oil seal - new rocker cover gasket with spark plug seals. Next, I purchased a set of crystal fog lights: Had my first go at clay barring, was a good effort id say! Decided to ditch the white rocker cover! It's so hard to keep clean! removing the paint for a polished look And the end result! Much cleaner I think! Engine bay pic! Decided I need to get rid of the ebay manifold and decat. So I ordered these.. I brought a new fuel pressure regulator and AEM wideband gauge kit to keep and eye on fueling! These were fitted once arrived! I was getting bored of the look so got the red Rota GT3's sprayed (040 white) At the same time I decided to get the calipers sprayed the same colour as the wheels and car. Any way not much of a update, I have done a service on the car! And a pic from japfest! 2013! After japfest I brought a set of indiglo dials from Mr chem. At the end of this month I will be looking to purchase the following items: I purchased a front splitter from ID WORKZ and received within a couple of weeks. I noticed another small little oil leak, it was running down the oil drain pipe off the turbo. I felt the pipe and it was SOLID could not flex it AT ALL. Daniel_g had a cj performance hose and the next day it was here. All fitted. I got bored one Saturday so I met up with Lougey and we set at spraying my front brace! Received some goodies from race tech on Thursday.. Had a problem with the down pipe there wasn't a bung in it for my lambda probe so I set at getting this sorted with Ricky asap. After a trip to race tech and 3 hours round journey I had started setting at fitted it all. Ricky helped very promptly with no fuss. Was all going well until started to get the rad back in, the screamer pipe was sticking over the mounting positions of the screamer all because the turbo was put on at a slight angle so off it all came again to split the turbo from the manifold and put it right. All was well then AGAIN more issues, this time with braided oil line. It was my fault, I tightnend the banjo bolt to tight and it was rubbing on the turbo compressor housing. Started to warm her up and big puddles happened! Was towed home and had braided line repaired! Got everything working but the screamer is blowing severely! Small Update, the race tech kit was getting on my nerves with the blowing and was too much hassle! I wish I'd done this in the first place ... Ordered a WEPR CT9 power up kit! I got hold of a jam p+p ECU from browner, there is a noticeable amount of gain in torque, especially mid range! Another little update, WEPR kit has arrived! The quality of it all is just unreal! Here is a pic of it all. I got myself a mid spoiler! WARNING HONDA CONTENT! Mid spoiler fitted... I brought a tial f38 Wastegate from tuning developments and a used ct9. I sent the ct9 off to Midland turbo and had it "hybridised" Whole WEPR kit fitted!.. I got a "race spec" rocker cover.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
