So a slight change in plan, quite abit to update so, i will try keep it short and sweet 😅. So i found an oil leak on the car, 3 issues. Wrong sealant used on the sump, silicone was used!!. 2 threaded bolts and 2 missing bolts, incorrect sump for oil pick up. Tapped out new threads and placed a couple studs in which are locktite and sealed in. The issue with the pick up hitting the sump, i twisted the pick up (we are talking 2mm) so it was no longer hitting the sump pan, correct sealant used to seal it up. Next up i decided to go front mount intercooler and removed my AC, i done this the correct way and unbolted it all incase i ever need it again, not just rip it out 😅. I. Just waiting in 3 silicone joiners as ive routed it inside the tow hooks rather than around them You might also be able to tell that it sits somewhat lower, this is because i picked up myself a pair of meister r coilovers which were copper slipped and have coilover socks on now. Found myself a lovely find whilst fitting them, Tom's braided lines! All the jdm points here Next i set about a replacement turbo, since the car is off the road, lockdown etc..why not go hybrid turbo. So managed to get myself a lovely tongs turbo in good condition, along with some new gaskets for the turbo and manifold. So with that all fitted i still wasnt keen on the manifold, so i had some heat shield material around and thought to try make a manifold cover to maybe neaten it up. Still unsure but heres the first idea Next update was my biggest pet hate and this was the wiring, mainly the adaptor loom for the standalone. Firstly sold as plug and play, however you can see from this image it is very much not the left side is the stock ecu, the right side is the adaptor loom. However to get around this issue someone had spliced another plug into the loom to plug around the factory one. I didnt want to hack into the cars wiring loom, so i sat for hours and hours to try and track down a Oe ecu 52pin plug to make my own loom and so its totally plug and play. You can see on the far left where it was adapted, wires were all tangled up in the loom and i just didnt like it. So i decided to make my own loom having tracked down a new OE 52 pin plug for the glanza So i set my ways doing this loom, im much happier now its fully working plug and play loom and just looks neather and wires are no longer tangled throughout abit of a long update, but tried to make it as short as i could without missing too much out haha.

Would reccomend Nikhil to anyone wanting his parts. Got some bits today and pleasure to deal with 👍🏼

Messaged you

Yes! Im famous 😅

Small update; Ended up going for a Wolf Standalone ECU, GFB v2 boost controller and also picked up a blitz boost pipe with dump valve. Front ends always had a weird black overspray looking thing, so clayed the whole front end. Car stayed clean so got my camera out for a couple of shots!! Enjoy Before; After ; I dont plan on building this car as such, the whole idea behind going standalone was to gain more control and better management than stock. Something easy to use and tried and tested by mappers, Will do a fuel pump for the sakes of it and actuator. Anything around 160hp/180hp is plenty

Quick picture since the sun was out no massive update other than looking to go standalone ecu, purely for more control over the fuel and boost. Dont fancy a piggyback. Bumper no longer sags and sits lovely to the lights Drove 1000km so far since putting the engine together. Cant fault this little motor

Love how this is done under a tent! Haha same way mine was rebuilt haha

Thats a good shout, looks very much like that type a one, cheers. The wheels are sprint hart

Hi, i've been told its an different varient of the jam lip, which i do like over the one with the wings on the side. As its a 'full jam bodykit', someone else may know if thats correct

So abit of an update Had a couple days spare so decided to rebuild the engine and try get this running In the process of this all i couldnt help but refurb a couple of bits and give it abit of paint So engine rebuilt, coolant and oil change started up and sounded spot on! Nice and healthy again. All thats left to do is to my powersteering fluid up and attach the belt for it!. Drove it a couple times uo and down the drive and all seems to be fine. Pretty painless so far and a joy to work on. Heres how its looking

Ive got a ep3 currently and yeah very cheap parts haha! Cheers Ive a couple days next week so in theory.. Ive looked at seats indeed but time will tell what way the build goes right

Hi all, A glanza v turbo has always been on the to own list, only 7 years later than i first signed up here... i can now say i own myself a white glanza v !. As all cars its purchased as a project, so this car was down compression on cylinder 1-2. A friend picked it up a few months back and since he got it i said i was going to have it off him. Initially this was purely to fix and flip... however So 1 day into ownership ive taken the head off the engine and become very apparent headgasket was certainly failed. I believe this engine was rebuilt a few years ago, however opening this up has showed allot. So some pictures! To get this thread going Head removed shows my suspect of headgasket failure Headgasket removed and gave it a wipe over So the plan with this.. is ive ordered a new headgasket and some ARP head bolts. Just going to throw this together, check the block and head are flat and get it running again, enjoy this summer and then if i like it and want to keep the car. If i like it and see good potential im going to hang onto it, get cracking with another engine and keep it around 180/200bhp. After a huge money pit of building a 500bhp+ evo, ive learnt to keep cars basic and they will last longer, just enjoy it for what it is 😁. Hopefully be up and running soon

Hi all! Only 7 years later from the "month" i planned 😂. But i now own a white glanza V!
