I have a thick folder full of receipts for this car - everything from the original import information to a recent wheel alignment.

Tuning Developments installed the Emanage Blue, and mapped the car. I have all the dyno print outs for it, and the car is making a very healthy 205bhp at the flywheel. It's currently running a standard CT9b.

I use the car everyday to get to work, and as my family live up in Yorkshire, it gets a good long journey regularly too. On those long runs, the car easily returns 45mpg, and even with my short journey to work it will return 30-35 mpg.
The car is mapped and has always been run on 97 Octane fuel.

I service the Glanza regularly, oil every 6 months, spark plugs every year. The whole ignition system was replaced prior to being mapped by Tuning Developments to ensure reliability.
The tracking was recently checked and everything is as it should be. Mechanically the Glanza is in great shape - I replace parts even if they are only advisories on the MOT - she starts on the button every day, no smoke.
When I replaced all the discs and pads, all the sliders were removed and cleaned, plus I've replaced both handbrake cables - not an easy job - but this means you can use the handbrake with confidence and it doesn't freeze on in the winter.

The remark I most often get about the car is how clean it is. There are age related stone chips and a couple of dings, and the front bumper has some marks, but overall the paint is in great condition, especially considering the car is 18 years old.
The car has been machine polished and the whiteness of the paint puts a lot of modern cars to shame.

I have some spares which can go with the car providing the price is right, such as a set of wheels I use in the winter, the original manifold and cat.

Mileage wise - the car was run in the country for some time in km, as the speedo converter broke. If I was to estimate, I'd say the its done about 90000 miles. It currently is working is mph.

In all, the Glanza has been a comfortable and reliable companion over the last couple of years, and I will genuinely miss it when it's gone.

NB - In the picture, the stereo and boost gauge are still fitted, I would be taking these with me.

Why not take off the manifold and turbo together, makes it much easier to get to those back bolts?

I found taking the powersteering pump off helps to get at all the manifold bolts

Well it's been a while since I updated this, so here it goes.

Since it was mapped at TD, I was thinking of ways to have my cake and eat it, namely have AC but shorten the intake route. Unfortunately the hot pipe had been rubbing on the AC piping, so a pinhole opened up.

There is a very nice guy with an engineering shop near me who can weld aluminium, so he plugged the holes in my cold pipe and in the AC pipe.

Refitted the pipework, and went to the local STS to have the air con checked and refilled. The car held a vacuum just fine, and then filled with no leaks. As soon as we turned the AC on however, BANG!

One of the rubber pipes exploded and dumped all the gas out. We had to run as that stuff is very poisonous!

As it turned out, you can't get hold replacement pipes, so I ended up stripping out all the air con, and running a short intake behind the grill. Surprisingly, this makes a massive difference. Before, my boost tales off to 0.7bar and 186bhp due to the restrictive intake. Now it holds 1bar to the redline, and it feels much stronger top end.

I took the car then on its first track day.

And then when I was starting to get the hang of it:

Thankfully later in the day, it started to dry up (not after spinning it through 1080 degrees!)

I was very happy about how the car performed, the handling was predictable, the engine had good power. The only let down was the standard radiator, which after a few hot laps started pushing water back into the overflow which true to its name, overflowed. It was very warm by this point, but the car managed to keep to the temperature down. I'm currently saving for a new civic duel core half rad.

I'm in the process of painting the tattier bits of body work, namely the wing and sideskirt, and whilst the paint colour is spot on, the cans I used weren't the best finish, so once the paint has hardened, I'll crack the buffer out.

Got them off ebay. Thule ones. The kit is same for the Glanza's as it is for UK starlets

Just the rad mate

How much for the radiator?

I have a washer bottle with a motor in the boot that feeds two lawn mister nozzles secreted behind the front number plate.

It was a HDI Cooler. It did fit with the air con still in place, bumper required trimming however.

Snetterton - the limit set for the day is 105db static and 92db drive by.

Car currently is ct9 with no cat, HKS Silent Hi-Power with no mid box.

I've got a set of Mintex Race Pads to bed in and some super DOT-4 to replace what's currently in there. The discs and calipers I pulled apart about a year ago to replace.

I'm debating whether or not to buy a bung.
