  1. Rights people after doing various sprints/track days etc and doing various research including skimming Hyper Revs starlet book. Ive noticed that the cars out there dont run a rear antiroll bar or antilift kits none of the big jap makes list these even as a product now or in the past. Are these really required on these cars?? Set a side these they do modfications to the ball joints making them adjustable on rose joints etc I run anti lift kit and rear fixed antiroll bar on my car and now pushing harder and harder and testing the boundrys of the car ive started to notice the the car is very switchy. How does everyone else find there set ups etc on got any more input/info on the cars in japan. Just interesting On what people do and try to improve these cars.
  2. Finally Got round to going through some of my GoPro videos plenty to follow soon but manage to finish uploading one of brands hatch on the 20th October. >http://youtu.be/hbGHczQFALw

  7. 20/10/2015 came and it was time to be off to do another open pit day at brands hatch Which was a good day for weather. Turned up and swopped over the wheels for the semi slicks as the it was going to be warm and dry. Not the best days of driving and was not feeling the car during the morning having 3x spins 2 of them at 80mph. Pushing a little hard on not so warm tyres ooops but the afternoon was better and manage to get some good laps in and took it a little easier. Testing wise running a extra 1/2 litre of oil made the differance and had no warning signals come up on the gauge Heres some pictures of the day Got the car back and the following day gott the track wheels out the car and checked over tyres and to give the wheels a good clean as they were covered in brake dust etc. Car at the moment is back at R&R detailing having a good clean and will be back for this week. At the weekend i made a cheeky purchase a treated my self to a new bucket seat for the drivers seat always wanted a Recaro SPG seat as much as my carbon cobra seat is a amazing seat. Last night i have desided to enter a track day compition how fast is your car Evo mag day for this saturday at Bedford GP circuit so looking forward for the last event this year and push the glanza a little more. Updates to follow

    Glanza Parts

    I have a glanza 96 bumper uncut if your interested pm me
  14. Charlie your best to give him a weekly call for updates or agree on a date for completion. When i gave mine over i was not fussed on waiting but went it got nearer the time just agreed a date. But its with one of the best out there. What spec have you gone for?
  15. Thanks Matt. Better mmm we will see still got things i would like to do. Car is for keeps unless someone wants to give me big money but even then i would hesitate as would never build another like it. Thanks Phil Thanks chap Thank you mate glad you enjoyed it. Please do jellybaby pop over for a chat
  16. Shame your selling chap very cheap at that price. People forget how much its cost to build one like this. Finding a good starting base these days your paying 3500k+ then to get it to this spec is £££. Who ever buys is getting it for a steel.
  17. After brands desided to upgrade the breather system from an-8 to an-10 so purchased another cusco catch can and after receiving this i sent the cam cover and can off to Dean at RW-Developments to get fittings welded on, baffled, cleaned and painted. They returned back after a couple of weeks and another great job done. While it was getting done i purchased all new gaskets, AN fittings and line ready for when it was back. I then went about fitting the cam cover and making lines up ready to go Next lot i didnt get pictures off but i replaced the Oring on the dipstick aloo while inwas doing this i had an issue with it keep coming loose this was due to the alternator is not lineing up with top bracket and pulling it when being done up causeing the dipstick tube to vibrate loose and blow out the block. I ended up putting a lnger bolt through the mount and use a nylon lock nut to secure it and also make a 10mm spacer to sit between the altertor and bracket so it does not pull on it anymore. Went out and road tested and all seems good even the breather system on tick over seems 100 times better so better breathering. The real test will be on the 20th October for a open pit lane day at Brands Hatch to do more testing and have some fun. Cars all set to go with the rays, wet tyres fitted and wedsports with the semi slicks in the car ready for a swop over. If any one wants to pop down and have a watch your more than welcome and happy to take people out for laps.
  18. You need to use the existing carrier and press the new bearing on it. Fensport is the best place to get one or like the above orc maybe the same
  19. Try fensport mate thats where i got my replacment
  20. Pm me price for shafts delivered to surrey
  21. 18k for a 4e engine That would be a crazy price.
  22. Adam oil temps on track most i saw it got too was 105 but when i saw that i done some cooling down laps then gave here a proper cool dowm. But most of the time it was between 80-95. My thoughts were the samw about the oil getting to thin. Another thing i have heard people do is run a extra 1/2ltr of oil.
  23. Might be worth checking yours also mate as alot of money to through away. I am evening in talks of getting prices for going dry sump but depends on cost.
  24. Def using a ep82 pick up mate i did make sure. Im sure a 91 pick up does not fit with the 82 sump anyway as the perstion is wrong
  25. See what your saying matey will defently check that for sure. Thanks mate will get this post updated as what i find
