At this stage i'll hold my hands up and say i have a good friend who offered me storage at his work and free labour.

As you may of guessed, known him for quite sometime, very good friend indeed.

He worked his magic and these were the results;

After getting these shiney bits i thought i may aswell just tidy the rest of the bay a little bit, nothing extreme i know but i think it makes a nice difference.

I'd seen a few twin breather rocker cover and oil catch tank setups but figured id just buy all the bits and get friends to do it on the cheap.

Brought the lines and fittings and this was the result ** MORE GOODIES **

So after a while of not having the time to work on the car i made a decision to get it tidier/faster and more up my street.

Toughen up the edges and make it abit agressive.

I like my lag monster

So just before christmas 2014 i decided the time was now, and i would go on a small shopping trip.

I had to get rid of a few bits like the new manifold and i decided i want something 100% asbo.

I spoke with Sacha @ WEPR (Who i might add is possibly the nicest and most helpful guy ive had the pleasure of dealing with)

and i ordered up some much needed parts;

Sacha sent me that cheeky picture and from then on i knew i could just sit back and wait for it to arrive!

Top bloke, honestly, without getting gay well... ive said enough.

A couple of weeks past, Sacha kept in touch the entire time through email and my delivery arrived.

PROPER WELD PORN !!

Love a red V! Ohh that bonnet needs some TLC

Just the start of my build pal

Charlie28 has been pestering me to make a build thread so i supose i just gave in.

Loads more progress pictures and info to come ... the cars come a fair way since this time.

Me and a good pal of mine decided it this point to make the car red again.

I originally took it to the polish to give it a rinse and discovered that my paint and hot water actually brings up a shopping list of old stickers down the sides of the doors.

I wasnt going to sit back and do nothing so popped down the local halfords and brought every stage of G3.

The next day was spent trying to make her red again to the best of our abilties (please dont be fooled, this car isnt a minter, photos just do it justice, too much infact)

Being the type of person i am my next move was pretty self explanatory.

I wanted to rip everything out, so after 30-40 minutes this was the state of what once was the full standard glanza interior.

Also bolted up my steering wheel i received fro McCarthy Motorsport < Something like that, it was quite sometime ago.

After sorting the issue with the manifold and getting a new one from Ricky. I devloped a boost pipe issue. Where the car wasnt used to boosting that strong it wouldnt keep the boost pipe on for longer than 20 seconds in full boost (1.6 Bar)

This led me to get annoyed, lost a couple of "face offs" with a few people i shouldnt of lost too due to have 0psi of boost.

Many of times a night spent underneath the front end on the side of the road in the pissing rain just to reconnect the pipe.

This obviously had to be sorted. Luckily for me i know a few guys that arent shy with fabricating and welding and within a couple of days i had a replacement.

So one of my first experiences with Glanza ownership was boost pipe issues and a cracked Manifold.

It had a cracked manifold when i purchased it but after time got alot worse and i knew it was time to bite the bullet and buy a new one.

I replaced it with no other than a RaceTech manifold (again)

I didnt think of taking a picture knew so this is the soonest i could find.

As you can see the bay wasnt exactly "Tidy" but it was definatley built for function over form.

So abit of background about my car/build (this build thread is long overdue by the way)

Previous owner was Sachin, I beleive he was a member on here.

He had the engine built/forged by the great Burwash.

Was running Race-Tech setup on a td05-16g < Standard.

He never put it up for sale but due to being a good friend i had my eye on it for a while. I then just built the fund up and offered him the cash.

Needless to say, i've been the owner for a while and couldnt help but improve what was already a good motor.

Im not a mechanic, and i would never pretend to be. I know Starlets but only threw help of UKSO and friends. I have to credit a few people before we go into this;

Rob-Sr & Charlie28 off the forum < both top guys

Whitenoize for being a top seller, same with Charlie

Tuning Devlopments and WEPR for my constant questioning.

& of course ID-Works who are just rapid when it comes to customer service.

So heres a picture of my car after i gave her a clean. This photo is stolen off of my friend Nathan's instagram

free bump.

How has this not sold?

Well suck me Sally.

Just spent my first 1hr 39mins of work reading every post on this build thread.

Cannot wait to see this thing out and about, it makes my build seem so amateur.

Seriously cool build, i know the hours and cash that goes into something like this.

Made props to you bro.

Keep up the good work!

Can i have a price for 2 x 8mm Spacers for my Glanza please.

Inbox me details.

Thanks

Sent Payment - Thanks again

Hello mate, I'll have these if they are long enough.

Can you measure the height?

Thanks pal

If i had seen this i would of brought this just to keep and sell on it a couple of months.

Top quality from WEPR as usual (y)

Jezza,

If these run out (the current batch) will there be another batch?

And what ETA would these have ?

Tar

If you made your own build thread you wouldn't have to clog mine up ;)

Im making you look real popular here pal ;)

Aha and i will do it !

Yea she'll clear 300 easy. Should be hitting 330 isn with a decent map.

Im just really not sure who i trust to map it the best.

I dont care about the cost or distance, just want it to hit good figures but not 1000 miles and done job !

How he hell hasnt this sold?

I thouht somebody would of bitten your arm off.

Lovely motor and very well looked after.

GLWS dude

^ Ah you've brought the windmill have you? Fair play mate..that'll be fun.

Your bits with be fine rich, the great legend that is Burwash built yours and sach looked after her.

Hope you get it running again soon mate.

Upload your photos to flickr if you want the quality to stay.

I have indeed Rob.

Yeah she is very close to being done for now, going to start building a head on the side and intake etc but not a priority atm. Anything over 300 and i will be happy with it.

I will deffo upload a buildthread at some stage.

Wouldnt of been able to carry on my build without the help of UKSO and its helpful members (y)

Sexual favours is good with me lol

HAHA Briliant. If i wasnt picking up my new Turbo this weekend i'd buy it.

GLWS

Sell for sexual favors ?

LOOOL

Turbo going to a new home ;')

I really should put a build thread up one day, i spend 90% of my working day on here so i cant even use working too much as a benefiting factor.

Where do people upload there photos too out of curiosity?

Your bad luck has shown me that oil pump, water pump and other servicable bits will be replaced before final map !

Wish it was payday so i could buy these lol ... Typical.

Free Bump

P.s i still havent setup the injectors i brought off you AHA but they arrived perfectly, cheers

How much would it cost me and ETA if i was to get one made, and arrange shipping from china etc my self. ( Im a freight forwarder and have a big china base supplier )

Inbox me if this is a possiblity ?
