I've been toying with the idea of stickering up my glanza the same as the jam car was. Has anyone got any clearer pictures of the car? I cant quite make out the row of brands on the rear quarter panel

Car has had a few miles on it recently, about 50miles each way down to Shotley for a Japanese coffee meet. Largely off boost but still logging the car, then on the way back ended up playing with a Hawkeye STI 😂 so a rush 0.7bar map whilst blasting down the country lanes pushing the STI was done. The poor girl did okay, the 1.5way diff is vastly superior to the OEM one I dont care what people say. Seems to want to actually put the power down and not just leave 11s everwhere. Still feels super laggy, Sacha from WEPR said the turbo really wont wake up till its over 1bar so wi

With a bit of a rush, MOT time Saturday. She passed with a few things needing to be adjusted. Rear wheel bearings and front ARB droplinks. Shes got a years ticket with no drama at all other than the "donor" car failing emissions hahaha Then it was a mad rush to get things sorted for a small local show just to put some miles on her. Painted the green wheel 040 white, nut and bolt check, rear seats in, wiper arms painted and power steering pump painted It does have a strange noise though. As it's starting to make boost, it makes a jingle. Almost like a vband or so

MOT checks and niggles sorted out, new bulbs throughout. Nightbreaker Lasers for the headlights, sidelights, and fogs. Interior put back together after wideband install and ME221 going in, wont be staying that way too long as I have a Bride Brix done in suede. But I've done what I did with the glanza last year, booked a show and the car is nowhere near ready lol. Reg plates on (need a private plate asap as I hate the NI regs) next update will be MOT on the 5th. Hopefully be putting a few miles on it road mapping, service, all ready for the show on the 6th. Big task but should be doa

Many updates when it's going on the road, Electronic throttle, sequential ignition and so on. All going forward, just hope the poor TD04 can take the abuse lol

Well, surprise surprise it runs. Idles like an absolute dream and seems reasonably happy. Next job is move her off the front grass and start pre-mot checks

Nooooooo meshed ftw haha

What made you put an air filter on? Meshed sounds too good lol

Not much been happening with the car lately, just waiting on parts mainly. But my ME211 has finally arrived Wasted no time in getting that in the original case be interested to know what others have done to get to the flashing plug on the ECU. Thinking about getting an extension cable, drilling a hole in the case and having it permanently plugged in and lopped up in the glove box Fingers crossed the next update will be the big one, the first start up. Not actually heard this thing run ever, so we'll see if this is the good blind Facebook purchase or a nugget. Fingers

I did notice on the spec sheet it said low comp Wiseco pistons, I can presume these are the 8.0:1 ones. With the 1.4mm headgasket I reckon the compression ratio is very low indeed. I'll have to wait till my ME221 turns up and see what that means in terms of drivability

I still have my other glanza, have no need to sell that so maybe that one can scratch the itch. I'll have to think about it. These first world problems haha

As is the way with these cars, cant postpone it anymore and decided to take skirts off and inspect for the dreaded tin worm. I got sent a video of it briefly before I bought, but needed to see for myself. What a lovely surprise it is not to have a rusty jap car lol I'm more than happy with this, but does beg the question if it's now too clean an example to rag the shit out of on track

I've no idea tbh mate, bought the car relatively cheaply. Engine was built by TMD about 10yrs ago but done next to no mileage, so who knows how they built it. Yeh its SCAT rods, not my first choice but they seem popular in starbos. Well at least I know 8k is where I can sensibly stay, maybe push a little more and have an 8k shift point

So I'm almost ready for my forged glanza to be road worthy and start mapping. I've no idea what these engines can take in terms of revs? I have TD uprated valve springs and a WEPR hybrid td04 on a forged 4E. Does 8250rpm seem about right? I'm completely clueless what these are capable of

Had a look round a Ep82 GT at East Coast Japanese coffee meet at Shotley Marina yesterday. Just wondered if it were anyone off here?

Yeh I've been following your thread since you started it lol

Just fit a switch, nothing in MOT says the horn button has to be on the steering wheel lol. It's not a bodge if it works haha

Cheers mate, will see how it goes

Car got delivered earlier this week and got stuck right in. Head whipped off to inspect damage and........ Theres zero damage. None at all. But it became apparent as soon as the spark plugs were out what was the issue. The bores absolutely stink of fuel, even the oil in the head and sump stinks of it. So I can assume it's been flooded with fuel. As I budgeted for a new engine, thought I'd make this spec even better. We'd all drive boring cars if we like having money in the bank lol. So... Uprated valve springs from Tuning Developments. More for piece of mind but also abil

She'll be sorted mate 100%. I'm glad I saved it from being broken up, it's so bloody mint!

It got delivered just as the sun set, but managed to sneak a quick pic in before the OG Glanza went off to the unit for storage. Gonna whip the head off tomorrow and see what's happened. Overall, looks very very clean. Well happy with it atm, not bad for sight unseen off Facebook lol

I've literally no idea mate, its due to be delivered by the recovery truck in a few hours. I'm a tad nervous lol

Yeh it would have been very sad to see this broken up, not many like this and low mileage. Aim is to have it built up, run in. And off to mapping mid summer. I just gotta decide what I wanna do with my now old glanza lol

So in a bizarre turn of events I'm now as of a few hours ago, the proud new owner of one very poorly but special JAM glanza. It was originally up for breaking on the book of faces. I enquired about the front splitter, got told it had provisionally been sold. In my typical style, I threw a tantrum and asked to buy the whole car as a whole lol. So I apologise if I've stopped you getting any parts haha Why is she poorly? Some valves have hit the pistons Plan is to whip the head off as soon as shes back home. Looking at new pistons, recon head with ne

I need an outer CV joint for my glanza, where's the best place to get them from? I'm aware there's 2 types, will probably just get both types. Anyone able to help? Thanks, Jack
