Charlie28 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Hi guys/girls!As I'm starting to make some significant progress with my car now I thought I'd start a progress thread!After owning a megane sport for nearly a year I decided it was time for a change. I've always wanted a Glanza for years and decided it was the time to get one.After viewing a few cars, I managed to find a white 98 Glanza V which Daniel Geer was selling.Once I got the car home I gave it a good clean and removed the stickers.Went to a local meet that eveningNext on the list was the seats! The standard seats were just awful at holding you in around corners so I purchased 2 Honda DC2 recaros and with the help of a mate made some custom rails.Which resulted in...The car came with a JAM Racing ECU so I decided to go down the CT9 Hybrid route and managed to get my hands on a Speedvision Gen 2.Got this fitted and went for a drive! Was surprised how well it pulled top end! And a picture with my mates NSX! I then sold my buddyclub wheels to Idrees and picked up a rare set of Toms NA-R's.The glanza has started to leak oil and it hadgot progressively worse so myself and a mate decided to take a look.It was leaking from numerous places and it was just a general mess! Luckily Rob Ebbs was selling his forged engine so I quickly put a deposit down and started to collect parts for it!6 Puk clutch! Also already have Polybush engine mounts. Still on the hut for emanage, a decent boost controller and a turbo setup! Edited May 3, 2016 by Charlie28 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of the lads on the drift works forum use Kinugawa turbos on their cars with no problems. A lad I know also has a 500bhp S3 running a Kinugawa turbo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
