Hutchy's 8k9 Glanza *Banzai Feature* *Full Genuine Kit*

Great shots these dude! -
Ok! So I finally have a racing seat in the car and have removed the Recaro SR3. Best thing ive ever done too! Took a trip to Motordrive seats, they are amazing and did a fantastic job making me a tailor made seat! Then took the car to see Sam @ ARC Autosport and got him to weld in some mounting tubes and get it in the car. Still using it with the stock seatbelt at the moment. However, even with that it really does hold you in place! I also fitted a Quick Release Steering Wheel Boss & DS3000 Front Pads. So with Blyton

Sefton-EP91’s 98 Spec Forged Glanza
Socks replied to Sefton-EP91's topic in EP91 Glanza Progress Blogs
Much prefer those wheels! Looks mega dude! Nothing wrong with getting to a spec your happy with and maintaining it! -
Rotten luck about the sill man. If these cars have been over here long enough it can happen to them! Such a shame youve had nothing but bad luck so far too, these cars are usually pretty good. Rear brakes look great now! Keep it up!

Alot of dickheads on FB too haha. Welcome back along!

Cheers lad. Glanza is parked up (fully working tho lol!) at the moment, needs some bits improving I haven't got time to do yet. It'll get sorted tho, it isn't going anywhere! The above headgasket/ARP Bolts fixed the issue. I didn't think it was the gasket, as I sniff tested it, compression tested it and couldn't replicate the fault on the road. Only on track. But now.... Drive it hard all I want, in 25 deg ambient. Water gauge didn't move from 82c (the thermostat temp). A triple core civic rad seems to be enough cooling capacity for the mean time anyways.

So! Onto Cadwell! With new bigger tyres on the front, the old ones had done 5 track days And new brakes, disks were warped big time after the late braking at Blyton last time, so new disks and inspect the pads.... Another day in them yet :p...... (which there was lol!) So off we went to Cadwell, this with a good handful of mates. Think there was 4 EP3s, Dc2 & Mk5 Zetec S Fez too. My good friend Joe, (Red EP3 with black lip) again had some good fun on track with him as you'll see in the video....

So! Id been having an issue with the coolant slowly moving into the overflow bottle over time (2-3 track sessions) but then not moving back. Having replaced the thermostat, rad cap, radiator. etc trying to sort it throughout the year. I decided to bite the bullet and do the head-gasket just to rule it out. Also would give me an opportunity to see inside the engine to see what the score is! So! Off came the head! It looks great inside, obv carbon built up which backs up the mileage..... But the bores and head looked great! So gave her a scrub up!

Cheers Dude! Cheers man. Its just the usual Blitz size. Not overly big. etc Toyota. Cheers dude. Coolant temps are fine now. On a hot ambient day on track cant get it over the thermostat temp (82c). Oil Cooler wise, I can still get oil up to too hot, but its after much longer sessions, so maybe a bigger core at some point, but its not a concern right now! The kits ok. Collector is a bit poor flow wise. Fitted perfectly tho, no complaints for what I paid for it!

This is mega, shit luck with the plug, I feel your pain, had it myself.

Looks Great!

Awesome shots Gee. Interested to see how it holds up to decent power also!

So! I did several track days with the above setup last year. Improving the car each time, in small ways. Adding: Cusco BMCS Triple Core Civic Radiator (This one was important as temps on track are hard to manage) Oil Breather System that can cope with added boost Paddle Clutch again to cope with more boost# My own civic rad brackets: All fitted up. Then started putting breather system together which was a complete DIY job that turned out great! Then I ended up getting this kit for £250! lol. Couldn't turn t

So. As it is now. Its running and no faults. Just needs finishing off in places and boost turning up! Watch this space...

Lowest most comfortable suspension setup for road use
Socks replied to matt1986's topic in Chassis & Suspension
+1 for Miesters for road use. On full soft they are acceptable! -
I believe that is sorted. Try it and see Colin :)? Its at the top now under Stats. We may mod it back to the bottom. We are concentrating on core functionality at the mo :)
