That engine bay is absolutely MINT!!!! Lovely car all round mate, credit to you.

Looking good lads

I personally wouldnt mate. Especially given how cheap you can pick up a second hand fmic or rx-7 tmic.

x2 Intercooler pipe has probably popped off.

Pink would be badass imo

Lol cheers guys ill upload some more as i sort through them. Also have a few videos if anyones interested. nothing major just a few on the motorway, tunnels,the track oh and one of us going down stelvio in the dark! lol

Mines sounds similar to that too mate. Ive heard many others, all been noisey.

Looking good mate I wonder how long the "no power mods" will last lol

Mostly took it as it came mate, obviously we had a few places that we wanted to do/see but mostly just went with the flow lol AWESOME!!!!

It was my mate that planned most of it ( he had done something similar before ) We planed a route before we left hitting all the places we wanted, and using google maps to give us an indication of the length of drive each day. We then pre-booked all the hotels. That way we knew exactly where we were sleeping each night and didnt have any crap running around trying to find hotels in foreign places. It also meant all accommodation was payed for months before the trip and we didnt need to have extra cash for this, also pre-booked the euro tunnel to make sure all the cars got on the same train. Everything else we just payed as we went, ie nurburgring, stadium tours... Most of the time hit supermarkets for food to help keep costs down, did go to a few restaurants and stuff tho which was nice Before we left i fully serviced the glanza to make sure she was ready for the miles, oil change, fuel filter, brake pads all round, spark plugs and HT leads, changed all the fluids even bought her a nice new apexi air filter Bought the stuff for driving in Europe ie headlight beam deflectors, GB sticker, triangle and high vis jacket. Made sure Insurance was covered, and got European breakdown cover. My mate took lots of tools and some spare parts so any problem could hopefully be fixed road side. We also took walkie talkies to keep in contact on the road, came in very usefull at times. That was about it mate, Did take quite a bit of planning but we just sat down over a few beers and got it done

Ok Picture time There are loads more but here are a few ive picked out. Hope you like

LOL this is very true... We ended up driving down the stelvio pass in the pitch black!!! worst idea ever lol

Some awesome pics there bud. Driving through the Alps is awesome isnt it? the roads are full of win at every corner. Ive sorted through some of them ( we have 4500 pics LOL) so ill try get some up tonight

Not too sure mate, I spent roughly £1300ish on petrol alone but i did a lot of miles, and using campsites instead of hotels would save alot too! I think for 1k u could have a very good tour around France mate.

Cheers mate I dont have a thread for my car but heres a couple of links to some pics of her. Sadly the livesport front bumper had to come off for the holiday, ruins the look of the car but its far too low and would come back in pieces. http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....c=40672&hl= http://www.ukstarletclub.com/forums/index....c=43184&hl=

I think everyone should try something like this! It was an unbelievable experience. All in all ie petrol, hotels, eurotunnel, tolls, and all the other crap u end up spending it was around the £3000 mark. Its a lot of money but once in a lifetime thing and totally worth it. Driving on the wrong side of the road wasnt actually that bad... u get used to it. I was more worried about the drivers than the road. there are some crazy ass drivers over there lol

Just back yesterday from a 2 week Euro trip with the Glanza and 4 other mates. Was amazing the things i seen in such a short space of time. The car ate up the miles with no problem at all and also done 20mins around the Nurbugring gp track. The Looks the car got was awesome, I guy in italy actually stopped in the middle of the road to get out and take a pic of the car Its a great feeling. So anyways This is what happened- Cars - CRX Del Sol, Glanza, Nissab S13 & 350z. Miles - 5000+ circa. Route - Scotland - Eurotunnel - Nurburgring - Luxemburg (cheap tank of petrol) - Black Forest - Swiss Alpine Roads - Stelvio Pass - Venice - Milan - French Alps - Monte Carlo - Barcelona - Madrid - Bilbao - Nantes - Paris - Home. Ive Millions of pics which ill upload asap... Theres just so many i need to sort through. Im so Happy that the car held up perfectly, Just shows you how well made these wee cars are

Nobody run a similar setup?

Hey, im currently in the process of fitting a civic radiator to my glanza. My problem is that i have a zisco style externally gated manifold (ramhorn) where the external wastegate is located at the bottom of the car and the wastegate is fouling the bottom radiator hose! I can get it on just, but it touches the waste gate. Would this melt the radiator hose? If so how do people with similar setups to mine get around this problem? Cheers.

Welcome. Nice looking V there mate.

Bought a rear strut brace from ali1710. strut is exactly as described, excellently wrapped and was very quickly delivered. Top man to deal with!!!! cheers again mate

Thanks yous are the best lol

Probably the nicest GT ive seen mate! Looks amazing!

I use a catch can to try help prevent oil vapours entering the intake via the pcv valve. Why do you use one? Im not trying to complicate anything... I fit my can inbetween the pcv valve and the intake... simple.
