the only reason im selling up is dont get to use it as much as id like too make it worth while insuring it and taxing it becuase im away at work for half a year and i just drive my ep3 when im home, im sad to see it go, its such a bargin, cant believe it hasnt been snapped up already!

very nice build i dont know why your so moddist about it its one tidy glanza with some very sweet mods. keep up the progress georgie!!

any news on these as id love one to show off my stunning 2zz

yeah its looks mean as fuck bud and thanks i could have went down the same forged 4e/5e with td04 or what ever route as everyone else but i just dont see the point.

this is a complete one off car wish its own driving style

gonna sound mental at 8500 rpm screaming down the back roads

the are bbs rs, 15" 1.5" lip on the front with 195 and a 2.5" lip on the back with a 205 tyre, its goona look unreal when its a bit lower!

bit of an update if anyone cares, cars up and running now, the wiring was a complete ball ache!!

just final tweets with suspension and final touches then its getting picked up next week then im going to enjoy it!

enjoy, chris.

it aint cheap but its going to be so worth it

haha paul, this is freaking genius!!

hows the wiring going? any luck with the wheels?

Oh, just ordered some "stickers" too

haha, yeah i hope they are what im thinking they are paul

great project this, deffo different.

but..

is there even enough room in there for a rotex? and would it not have been better to sort it out, and refit the 3sgte.

and one other, i think i remeber this from the north east, and some1 telling me about a blast with a ferrari from down boro?

yeah refitting the 3s would have been a idea but its ruined the handling of the car so i wanted to try something new, yes there is room for a rotrex but its staying na for the time bud.

yeah i raced a lad who had a 360 Modena, lashed him lol. i had two mates in the car and he had his girl friend was funny but the noise of that v8 was phenomenal man! i love high revving na's

sometimes the simple ideas are the best

ok thanks paul, it was only an idea but you know a hell of a lot more than me

how about attaching a transparent silicon pipe on the side, attached at the top and bottom so you could se the level, then you could spray them black

wouldn't really matter so much on the washer bottle you could just spray that anyway then i could fill its when its empty, but the power steering and the header you could try that idea on

think it would just clean up the bay so much, unless you have any other suggestions?

thanks, chris.

looks great paul! thank you again!!!

any luck with the oil filler cap?

i think the washer power steering and header tank need spraying, they looks old compared to anything. guess you would be able to see the levels inside if you did though

even so if you could do them black to take the attention away form them id like that. also i know you wont but dont forget the slam panel, chrome badge purple if you could and the sticker we talked about

yeah ill be going to all the shows i can when its complete.

hey paul, progress sounds good! the suspension and bushings were delivered to mine on monday and tuesday. my mothers bringing them to your workshop today lol excited to see how the the wheels turn out with the new bolts and see some new photos, keep me updated paul, this is going to be a long month away.

my coilovers and bushes should be making there way to you tomorrow morning paul, any updates?

i did the conversion, was mighty powerful but way to heavy. ruined the car but made it faster than a 360 modena in a stright line and i had two mates in the car

still if you want big turbo power go with a forged 5e bud

top quality work as always paul, love it.

thanks for putting them photos on bud the gold one are 15" wedsports and im getting some different 15" wheels, bit fatter. the stance is awesome with them, trust me.

keeping the weds, gonna put r888 on them for track fun

im totally over the moon with the results paul! i love it, way better than i could have ever imagined from anyone else

yeah i agree, spray the fpr purple, have you sprayed the coolant t piece you made too? would be nice green i think. with the induction pipe purple too.

its all coming together...

was gonna pop round today because ive got my civic back on the road, to drop off the rest of the new wheels and the bumper but one of the split rims need resealing, when they were powered coated they cant of been put back together correctly. would you be able to fix this for me?

the plans for the out side are a fresh re spray and drop it on the new rims. but yous will see it next month when the project is finished.

thanks for the update paul, this made my night!

chris, pic of the car for anyone who wants to know.

yeah sounds good, well i will try and get them to you early next week.

im not going to go mad maybe just a decent set of coilovers, front anti roll bar not sure if im going to get 22 or 24mm and drop links and anti lift/castor kit. that should tighten up the front end.

rear anti roll bar not to sure on getting the rear beam bushes as you said they are a pain to remove that should be fine for the rear.

also im going to get some new brakes sent to you. still deciding on pads and disc's or a 4 pot conversion. ill decided this week and let you know what your getting.

if you know anyone who would like the old ecu let me know thanks

chris.

i agree and i would not mind at all paul, bit more green on the fuse box and maybe the header tank? then purple on the induction pipe would just finish it off

when do you think you will be finished, rough gesstimate?

you have made me a very happy man lol

anyone with the coilover question?

chris.

loving the colour, i knew they would work even if you did laugh at me paul!

the progress is sublime too, im gonna get some part sent to you work shop of friday paul for you to fit and ill get the bumper too you before i go away to work again. did you manage to spray the strut brace green too?

chris

by the way, can anyone help with this, bc racing or meister r coilovers. what goes lower and what would you recommend and where id the best place to buy from?
