Glanza_Ragger

;) No worrys bud.

It will merely help it boost quicker with the extra fin. 1.5bar .. oopsy ;) Check youre vacums to and from the turbo / actuator.One will either be split, not tight etc causing the boost to keep going. You might be lucky if it only hit 1.5 a couple times for a split second. Dont be running it like that though bud.

Have a look at Scutch's post in this section, about his underpowered glanza.I put the compression ratio in there bud. 250hp is possible and more as Enzo stated, All depends on the tune.

No matey, i think you misunderstood. A new sewing machine for home will cost around £700! When i get these retrims patterned, and get going , i will be doing them for around the 400 mark ;) That will be available only to us guys, any others off tgtt.com or various other forums will have to pay the full price!

Ill get some bud, but the real photos will be of mine when ive finished it. I was just testing how much interest there would be, as i cant take the piss out of my work, and do these seats there ;) Hence why im trying to buy everything i need for my own workshop at home. I use the word "trying" because a machine costs in the region of £700 for a good condition one. Its all about cash flow at the moment

It should well do, It sounds purely down to the clutch not gripping.Mine is exactly the same after i wrote off an exedy 35% clutch and put my original back in ;)

The revs keep going when the turbos boosting, because the clutch cant grip dude. Hence why its not pulling any harder. Im getting an orc clutch &fly combo.Let me know youre thoughts on it when you have it fitted mate

Muppetry is normally my job

Well mikey, When im set up, i could arrange to come round and remove youre seats.I can leave youre driver side in only so you can still drive the car. How does that sound

The first set of any type of seat will allways take the longest, due to having to take each machined panel apart and make templates. I wont be ordering pre-made leather kits from malaysia/china etc like alot of cheaper companys do! Each will be taken apart by hand, layed out , fresh templates made taking into account any stretches the old fabric may have so the new ones will be nice and tight, and then put together. I can do any type of seat you wish, Also ill be carrying out recaro seat repair work, using original cut fabric from recaro.So if youre ltd edition recaros are looking a tad shabby, or the bolsters are worn, i can remove a single panel and machine a new piece in to keep the cost to a minimum. Atm im just clearing the spare room out at home, and i have next week off work so i can start making a cutting table.Just need to buy a new machine for home then, as i cant bring the one from work home as i need it there. I'll be collecting photos from people ive done work for, also ill grab a photo of my gear gaitor i made as the original was only leatherette and was shabby, i also made a red leather one for a mate of mine. Steering wheels are a pain, as they need to be lockstitched , plus by the time the material + labour time has been added, it works out basically the same to buy a brand new wheel which is why i havent bothered retrimming mine.I have a personal wheel which is worn now but ill end up buying a new one. Alcantara (genuine) prices are £60 per mtr for unbacked, stretchy for panelling ie doorcards,dashboards etc. £62 per mtr for backed, which is used for seating etc.Has a very thin foam backing so it is more hardwearing and softer on youre ass ;) You have to remember, im not going to be supplying cheap immitation fabrics, this is ALCANTARA direct from america. Leather is from Connollys range, and the threads are from Oxley. Only the best. If you have any custom build designs such as boot builds, kicker pods in door cards, dash's etc i will take them on but i will have to charge per hour obviously. For the first sets of seats of each type, i would prefer the seat to be here.So if theres any fitting problems i can resolve them, rather than post the machined kit out to you guys, only for you to find theres a fault or it doesnt fit absolutely spot on. Once the first sets have been completed, fitted and photographed for future use, i can supply just the pre-machined kits for a lower cost. That way you can recieve the leather kits pre-made through the post, and you just have to fit them to youre foam seating If however you prefer me to do the whole job, take seat out, remove covers,fit new ones and replace in car i can do that too. I'll let you guys know more details when the times getting closer and im properly setup! There seems to be alot of interest off here, as well as a few of my mates forums

The leather would come to around 150. It would easily beat any leather you find in other cars, like beemers,pugs etc THE best quality you can get.Its made by a company called Connally, They supply aston jag etc .So you know youre getting quality. I use top quality Bonded Nylon threads too, for both seam work and twin stitch where as some other companys will use cheaper polyester threads for the seam work, which can split easily. Nylon threads are waxed, which means not only do they NOT go fluffy, but they dont attract dirt like polyester threads. All you would need, is to feed the leather once every year or so, and use a quality conditioner such as meguiars,autoglym etc to keep the leather supple and soft. When ive got a few people interested, ill arrange a group price.Again though, like i said ill trim mine, and upload the photos here so you can all see.And no doubt you will see it for real once the cars sprayed and has the rebuilt engine in ;)

They would look spot on, on a saxo,pug,renault,vdub etc... anything euro but not jap ;) My opinion.

If i was to set my self up at home, how many of you guys would genuinely be interested in a leather retrim? State seat type, ie .. glanza oem - gt oem - recaro oem etc State if you would like the rear bench trimmed to match also state if door cards want trimming. Just to let you guys know, ive been machining for 5 years, And have been trained by a guy with over 35 years experiance. Ive retrimmed all types of bucket seats for speedboats, also motorbike seats. Im just considering if i should convert the spare room in our house into a workshop and bring my machine from work, home. In about a month or so, ill be ripping my glanza seats out, and trimming them so i can show you photos of the quality of work. As i stated, im just testing how much interest there would be, if theres alot, ill find some second hand seats of each type to produce templates. Soo.. copy, fill in and paste this Seat type : (glanza oem,gt oem,recaro oem) rear bench : (yes/no) front door cards : (yes/no) Leather colour : (black/blue/red/yellow/cobalt - combinations etc) The quality of leather if of jag/aston/tvr etc quality.Very plush,thick leather.

Could feel very revvy as its slipping the clutch. Engine will sound fine, boost fine, etc but you wont get the power to the black stuff, if the clutch is slipping dude. Standard clutch? if its on its way out, it would still select gears fine, but slip slightly when revving. See if it gets any worse, take notice of when it comes on boost, if youre not really feeling it come on boost, probably clutch dying.

Thats normally my job

Beat me to it Paul

Diesel = slippery oil = slippery, You probably braked on the oily patch hence the wheels locked up. If its oil on the road, you wouldnt have to apply the brakes hard at all for them to lock up and send you sliding as if you was on ice. Only did it on that stretch of road right?

Ratio is 8.2:1 off the top of my head.. 170 on each cylinder should be a very healthy engine. But it can range from 130 upwards depending on the condition of it

As the ct9s are so responsive low in the range, it would more than likely be youre giving it too much throttle too sharpish. You just dont realise how easily the ct9s boost, resulting in the wheels spinning very easily.Just be a bit more gentle bud, treat it like you would treat angelina jolie, smooth and gentle L O L @ Rynos picture, lead foot anybody ?

Id agree, what would the chances be of both youre cars brakes playing up on the same part of the road. It will more than likely be oil or diesel on the surface, probably from a scumass lorry Just get somebody to check youre brakes over for good measure.

Welcome to the partayyy Wish i had bought a black one now Good luck finding a decent V

What hes not saying is hes boosting up and dropping the clutch at 6k

Amazing clutch/flywheel combos so ive heard mate. This is what ill be getting when my new engines in. Silly me bought a 35% exedy , that totally died within about 3 months, so i slapped my old slip'meister original back in. So as soon as my forgie is in, this is the combo ill be going for.

;) I personally cant see how youre spinning up in the dry. If youre not easy on the throttle they will spin very easy in the wet. But yeah, clutch control shouldnt see you spinning. Even when i was running mine with treadless tyres it didnt spin much. what have you got youre pressures set at?

Shite tyres? Too high tyre pressures? too much throttle? Boost too high to pull away smoothly in 1st? uber camber settings ;) ? Just take it a bit more easy on the GO pedal
