RobMacs Forged/Sleeved B18 'Going Turbo' Glanza V

[Glanza Mac]

Bought this White Glanza V after owning a Red Starlet Glanza Replica N/A.

Saw it on Ebay and just thought it has my name all over it , Travelled 400 Miles in total to get the car and it was worth the 8 hours driving to have it back at my door step. As soon as me and my dad arrived at the old owners house in Essex, he arrived in it from just freshly cleaning the car... it sounded so sweet especially when that dumpvalve went tishhhh, i fell in love at that moment before i had even given the car a once over.

Had a good look round and it did have a few little bits to attend to but to be fair the lad had listed them so i was pretty pleased all in all.

Took it for a test drive.. nearly stalled it mind as it has a paddle clutch for you who dont know is either On or Off which i wasnt really used to, got out to the open round and opened her up a little, from having a 1.6L Ford Fiesta Zetec S (100-110 BHP) then owning a 1.3L Starlet N/A (86.2 BHP)too driving this (150-170 BHP) Pocket Rocket was just scary (BHP Quoted By previous owner), was really suprised how pinned i was to the seat as i wasnt expecting it to be as powerful as it was.

Took it back to the guy and handed over the money ... Job Done!

Thankyou , still got the red one, putting it on ebay shortly as it pretty much got slated as being a shed on here which didnt exactly help it sell , will do!

Looking good...

Thankyou

Nice mate was that you down clee yesterday? I remember it being a p reg but sure the number plate was on the front not in the window

i was yeahh last night but i think you saw a different one to me who has white wheels and doesnt have a ducktail spoiler who usually drives about with another white one with the livesport kit on it with white wheels so its me you see if you see black speedlines and ducktails spoiler

[Glanza Mac]

Havnt really done alot today but i have moved my turbo timing from being randomly stuck on the dash with wires on show to the centre console nice and tidy + Aux lead going into the ash tray (dont smoke)

Also removed my standard front strut brace and sanded it down

then primed with etch primer..

...which looks pretty cool anyway but got bigger and better plans for colour which will happen tomorrow all going well

Also a few sly snap shots i got after i gave my car a quick demon shine/polish with my mates Glanza v (some may recognise in the lincolnshire area)

Will be more tomorrow

[mk1kurt]

The previous owner said it had electronical coilovers on the front but the wires had been cut :S

cheers, yeahh i do like the starlet scene, people on here are helpful etc so its win win, i have tried to get him on here but he said he cant really get his head round the forum and also he thought people would mug him of a bit since its basically someones finished project he has bought.

[Glanza Mac]

soo from yesterday i had my strut brace primered ready for today, got on with it straight away from when i woke up (obviously got washed etc ), gave the brace a quick wipe down and started to spray...

...Personally i think it looks awesome!, in the sun it sparkles too.

On the car..

Also Sprayed this today..bit of a rushed job tho so i shall be doing this again

now both together

Please post your what you think

[Glanza Mac]

Also forgot to say i recently swapped my red Ht leads for some heat range 8 leads instead of the heat range 7's that were on it previous with kurt .. good man!

[Liam_D]

Shit you like painting things random colours

[Glanza Mac]

well my plans is to do the engine bay orange and blue , interior red and white and outside white and carbon fibre bits

[Glanza Mac]

well that lasted long, was perfectly enjoying my car when yesterday i put my car down my drive, half an hour later i went to reverse out my drive, put my foot down on the clutch and this horrible squeeling/scraping sound appeared ;)

slowly reversed it out my drive and took it up the street, car drives fine but the sound isnt healthy, all last night i was up looking for the answer, didnt really get a definate answer were someone has experience this kinda noise before but the majority thought it was the clutch release bearing.

took the car to a local garage today and the guy said the same, so its gonna be a good £400 in labour im guessing...but luckily i did my work experience there from college and it turns out i know have a little job doing 3 days a week so ill be working on my own vehicle next week and the wages ill be getting will be taken of the bill so win win ... some things that are one day so depressing and terrible that the next it all turns out good

since the car wont be driven about i might aswel crack on with painting a few more items, maybe paint my inner archs etc

updates will be posted shortly.

[Glanza Mac]

soo now my car is off the road for a bit i thought i would start doing some more bits

removed my ducktail spoiler to check the condition of the boot as the colour around the spoiler was going a bit beige

when i removed it my face just dropped the fact it was so so dirty!

got my trusty tar remover which works wonder and cleaned it up

the remains is the old glue or whatever

Also removed my badge as it was beige inbetween the badge and couldnt get to it so i got a very very thin small flat headed screwdriver and pealed it off

All clean

soo didnt quite no what to do next at that point so i had a look in my garage to give me some ideas and i found a tin of black hamerite which i used to underseal my Fiesta with (prone to rust), so i thought i would paint my inner archs to protect them from rusting as i hear these dont come coated in anything at the factory

so on the jack she goes

removed the wheel and i came across this baby!

Had a look on the other side on my car because i couldnt see a make on this side and they are infact Tein Coilovers! WIN! just very tired and not wound down ;)

What the inner arch looked like

Too

Looks pretty good and its just nice to feel safe that your archs wont go rusty any time soon ... Touch wood!

unfortunatly my dad came back after i had finished this one and he wanted me to build up his 125cc Rotax Max kart so i had to down tools

[Glanza Mac]

Ooops forgot to add these two pics also

My Razo gearknob

And my partner in crime

[mikey b]

Be careful the rear Tein sus you have the adjusting/ locking rings are dead. At the moment it's prety dangerous to be driving about on. You can see the locking ring is only half there.

[Glanza Mac]

what could actually happen then ? "/, they will just drop to the bottom or?

[Glanza Mac]

My car is now back on the road

it wasnt the release bearing at fault it was that the previous owner who had a new clutch and lsd put in the gearbox had not tightened all the bolts up connecting the engine and bellhousing together properly. One bolt was completely missing and one bolt with less than finger tight, so i put a new bolt in and tightened the other bolt up (FT) and started the car up and pressed the clutch....Bingo no more noise!

it was making the squeeling/scraping noise because the gearbox had moved slightly and the fly wheel was scraping on a metal plate on the gearbox bell housing which protects dirt and water getting inside.

while the car was up on the ramps i took a few pictures

1st of all LSD Gearbox

Tein Rear Coilover (horrible condition)

Actually on the ramp

Turbo (shiney oil return pipe)

After work i thought i would spray a few more little bits

Rad Stay

Bonnet prop

Battery clamp

All

[Glanza Mac]

Been a while since ive posted on this thread but have been pretty busy and havnt had alot of time but have done a few small things.

i bought this fairly cheap from a freind:

just need a rail to fit it too

Oem Strut Brace:

Will be respraying this black to keep it standard but its looking a bit tired

Celica Seats:

soooooooooo comfortable!

Blitz boost gauge:

Boost gauge holder:

it hides the wires going into the dash which were driving me crazy (maybe not to everyones taste)

L.E.D number plate lights:

Make so much difference and look nice

Removed intercooler pipes to polish:

looked horrible and they came up well but forgot to take pictures of the finished peice as rushed to fit them back on as i was in a rush to go out so ill take some pictures tomorrow

[Glanza Mac]

well first of all im now showing the love courtesy to Addzz

Polished intercooler pipes

KnN Breather

Orange power steering cap

A Lil Something i had waiting for me the other day

Wasnt very shiney so gave it a polish

that will be fitted in the week hopefully

[Matt1878]
