Can't really make much out on the tag, had its fair share of encounters with the asphalt - I can see SR, 051 022 if this relates to anything.

I didn't see this post sorry bro, I'll have a look when I get five I didn't know this!

Starting a thread that I can update along the way! I've had the car around a month now, I've been focusing on putting a handful of things right and generally learning a thing or two! Current spec, some bits were already fitted, some I've fitted myself. Engine wise: Standard 4e lump Wound up stock ct9 Relocated air filter JPerformance half size rad JPerformance fmic JPerformance downpipe IDworkz short route hot pipe Jasma exhaust system Hks actuator Hks FCD - Not great I know.. Zisco mild steel manifold Braided oil return Handling wise: BC coilovers all round Team Dynamics Pro Race 3 Yokohama parada spec 2s Whiteline rear ARB I had the chance to take the car on track over the bank holiday, unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side and made for a wet and greasy as hell track - which was great fun for some hooning around but my grip was limited on the yokys, left me at a loose end wanting to put the car through its paces in the dry.. One evening last week I got my zisco mild steel manifold and oil return fitted, which was a good job, removing the turbo to get at the underside of the mani was pretty straight forward - whilst I was there I fitted a new mani gasket which I assumed I'd need, bad choice, blew out after mondays blast which was frustrating so had all the turbo back off again last night replacing the OE metal gasket - On route home and a loud unusual whistling develops on boost, turns out the gaskets blown on the compressor housing to hot pipe, must have been through disturbing it a little too much.. Managed to get it fixed up today, made myself up a new gasket out of some 4mm truck spec hose cut to shape, will see how it fairs up, must be better than the little fibre one in there. Sat behind a wagon winding through the lanes on my way home just summing up options for the car, turbo swap, management, fueling, caging and braces etc, endless. It's a journey I'm glad I've started and I'll update as and when. Tim

Cheers for the heads up buddy I'll keep that in mind

Morning all, new to here picked up the glanza a fortnight ago, what can I say.. What a superb little motor! 1998 EP91, imported in 2008, no rust which is great coming from an mx5 background where anyrhing that's been in the UK for a decent time has had the body eaten I've spent a lot of time this last week seeing to a few things, new yokys all round and four wheel geo align, full service and a bit of a bay clean up, little bit of welding on the exhaust, new gasket on the turbo oil return, properly fitting the front bumper and an all round clean and mop. Anyone on here familiar with this one? I'm still building up my knowledge as I go along but from first impressions they're versatile little rockets, and are seeming to be relatively easy to work on which is most splendid. Current spec I believe - Jasma exhaust with decat downpipe Bc coilovers all round Whiteline rear arb JPerformance fmic JPerformance rad AC delete Adjustable actuator Blitz turbo timer Boost and mixture gauge (mixture currently not working) Hks fuel cut defender No figures bhp wise but I plan to get her on a rolling road to see what it's doing, all in all great little car
