  1. I have also been chasing a cusco lsd for ages ideally in a box, waiting for one to pop up somewere near to myself and sure enough one came up for sale! Couple of hours drive to manchester and i had a gearbox with a cusco 1.5 way inside! Whether its any good or not a dont know until i try it.

  2. Welll.... Me being me.. And love getting my hands dirty, back in my unit she went and it was time to do the stem seals.. And thought to myself i may aswell do the headgasket while i'm there!

    So not long later.. Head off

    95FADC0A-EA02-4D01-BB5D-127B2E6C979F_zps

    Checked for bore damage and they seemed pretty good 👍 and before i took the head off i done a compression test and came back

    Cyl1 157

    Cyl2 152

    Cyl3 157

    Cyl4 151

  3. Right ill do a bit more now i have a hour...

    Cut to the chase a little. TD04 kit all fitted and afr checked at 1bar on the jam racing ecu with a healthy 233 bhp!!!

    Loving the car to bits making use of the nice weather amd actually driving it again!

    This is jordan walkers car next to mine when he was in the process of running it in!

    Cheeky trackday

    02E056E1-DE6A-4A4D-9EA3-1D8F5C8D2E05_zps

    Was over the moon with the way the car handled, i was not expecting it at all! The combination of tyres coilovers, polybushes and cage makes it handle a dream, leaving the setup how it is now woop! But there was one little problem i noticed!!

    70D4F5EF-9679-4B66-AA14-87F659B85F8F_zps

    Valve stem seals are worse than what i thought they were :(

    Goes well though lol 👍

  4. Stock injectors are maxed out around 1.1/1.2 bar depending on condition and that was on a td04 setup. Thats all i could take mine to when it was on the rollers getting setup ... Thats was with a standard fpr aswell ! I wouldnt imagine they would have lasted long been maxed out like lol

  5. Whislt i was waiting for my turbo kit i had plenty to crack on with..

    First of all my disks came woop 👍

    I took these to get machined, from 280mm to 277mm as they were a snug fit!

    And a cusco 7 point cage blasted then freshly sprayed in honda's midnight purple

    2DF57317-74C0-452B-900F-522CCCB859E4_zps

    Sorry for some of the photos i should have taken more at the time :(

    I also purchased so rota slipstreams for a good price, but mainly because they are 15" which for the setup i want are much better than the 16" grids that were on it... So up for sale the grids went!

    I had the slipstreams freshly powdercoated in gloss black for the steath look (some might say boring cunt).

    Anyways tyre wise there was loads of disputes what to go for, yokies, nangkang, federal, toyo...

    I ended up listening to the old man, and went with the federals as he said its the closest tyre he has had to the r888s and rated them better than the ns2r's for grip! Each to there own a suppose, but i can still do this day vouch for these tyres the grip the give is immense, just dont last very long but you are going to get that with the majority of soft track tyres!!

    7D480990-AF6B-4093-8998-55342BDE26FD_zps

    Gave the calipers a lick of paint and tyres put on the wheels, although i preffer the grid's these will do for now

    With the car having all the correct supporting mods for a good ct9 setup it was time to get a ecu... There was only one in my eyes having witnessed how good they are, but this is my opinion and plenty of people will have different views...

    Here she is, a JAM Racing ECU 👍😍

    3FF2DC1E-72FE-488F-960D-2A18D2CD6C80_zps

    After fitting the ecu the car transformed itself and made a healthy 196bhp at 1 bar 😃

  8. Back in my unit, i couldnt help but tinker about with it while it was off the road for a bit as i was waiting for my no claims before a multicar policy was taken out! First job change the intercooler as it had seen better days

    D2BA54C9-AF89-4EEA-9CB2-6A3659C297CE_zps

    New intercooler and i know it isnt greddy but couldnt resist a stencel and a bit of paint

    067BD6C3-1116-41A9-9D0D-7B2EF1D6504F_zps

    Also purchesed a set of rota grids of my good friend jordan, that has helped me all the way through this build 👍

    694B1230-FBD2-4CF7-8B86-7B20EDB902D6_zps

    Such a good friend i lent him the car for a few month while his glanza was a working progress and his daily (evo) decieded to knock its tits off :(

    65D8CCAA-46B3-48D7-9554-57211091AEC5_zps

    I also grabbed a bargain set of bc coilovers from (toff) who was breaking his immaculate glanza :/! Still have these to this day

  9. Right i have got lots of catching up on this blog to get to were i am at the moment with the car.. I will be gradually adding bits to this thread when i can as there is lots to get through! Well enough of the shite i may aswell start....

    P248 FTA

    TOYOTA STARLET GLANZA V

    "Snow Edition" (pov spec) lol

    Purchesed from jeremy (JD Tuning) on 13th april 2014

    Car already had some mods to get me going but needed a little TLC towards the sills and A pillars but a strong little motor and a good base to start from..

    Here she is :)

    E2D9A73F-FA70-4151-87C5-7D1CAF5D1850_zps

  10. The glanza has a 50/50 chance of making it due to waiting for a engine :( if im lucky i will get it back in time etc.. Worse case scenario would i be able to bring my integra and just park it in a bush somewere out the way 😂

    Please dont hate lol just if worse comes to worse...

    Cheers
