glanza179

well got tyres on and wheels bolted up this morning, i must say its totally transformed the feel of the car its alot lighter on its feet :surrender:

need to get the centre caps painted that Stevo9000 supplied kindly

Jim

looks a nice motor mate, was tempted with one myself a few months back,

Jim

well over the past few weeks i have decided the glanzaS is never going to be a fast car without throwin alot of money at it so looked at making it a nice clean standard example. and maybe get a Glanza V to accompany it in 6months or so.

picked this lot up from work today tyres tomorrow hope.

Jim

gutted for you phil prob even worse when it cant be explained what happened

gtr-r33 thats the sort of tank id want in my house one day

Jim

hay guys not updated this topic for a long time as been having a few issues due to lack of working hours so all my money has been going on the care of my fish.

however why out over the weekend i saw this fella and couldnt resist, about 9" in length and im hoping to introduce him to my female

Jim

this is my 2nd trip over there i would go every year if i could afford it.

it is a must go place in your life time its out of this world

Jim

im off for 2 weeks in sin city with the mrs, Las Vegas WOOHOO

Jim

Jim

Top bloke to buy off, parts arrived very fast and in great condition

Jim

O = Otomo, built back in the 1920s

Jim

no the way that is on the pic the boost solenoid has been bypassed, takes the boost restiction off in 1st and 2nd gear plus means car just runs high boost permanantly

Jim

gutted mate,

my Staffie cut his foot open on some glass over Xmas but luckily it werent to bad he didnt need to go to the vets

glad your dogs ok and good bit of retail therapy you did there too

Jim

my Glanza many years ago did something very similar, turns out as it had been running hotter due to a boost tweek i had done it melted the Catalitic converter and made the exhaust EXTREEMLY restricted. lost loads of power and dropped about 0.3Bar of pressure on full boost

Jim

cheers for the info mr badger, i dont want to be changing callipers if i dont have to, mine is a 1996 glanza S

Jim

ive had a quick measure of the discs on my glanza S through the wheel and they seem to be approx 235 - 240 mm diameter,

i would like to change the discs and pads in the next few weeks but ideally id like to get some grooved discs. does anyone know where i can get some from as only ones i seem to be able to finde are 255mm Glanza V discs,

also does the glanza V not use the same calliper as the EP91 SR / Glanza S so can i get the 255mm discs to fit?

Jim

damper came from my mate he had it on his civic but took it off when sold it

jim

and here it is in place so i can make the 2nd bracket

Jim

yes its green haha

well me and my mate Adam managed to free up a little time at work this afternoon so we began a little fabrication, needs a bit more work tomorrow in day light

Jim

yeah i can imagine, i was looking at blue for my glanza S as its the same colour as yours but i was gonna go darker

Jim

thats stunning, the wheel colour is spot on

Jim

well only took 3 months but my new filter finally showed up, shame come the new year it may become obsolete

Jim

thanks Mr Badger

your looking at a stereo adaptor harness with the front speakers re wired with bass blockers to stop distortion at higher volumes

Jim

been doing a bit more wiring today went to a local ice specialist and got some bass blockers, i also had a spare toyota to ISO adaptor harness so did a little harness alteration

speakers sound great now

Jim

looks a well tidy motoe mate

few common niggles with winter here you may want to check, rear lights fill with water and then fill the boot, easy fix just pop them out put some rubber regenerator on the seals and drop em back in,

same problem at the top of the boot where the rear wash wipe is, again can be fixed with a little vasaline round the seal

Jim

your gonnna struggle mate, insuance companies and the word VTEC dont mix well, and on paper the CRX is faster than a GT in standard spec. plus its the 1.6 factor they wont like.

Jim
