  8. The master cylinder has 2 outputs ran one to power the 2 fronts just with a "T" peice and the 2nd output goes into a wilwood brake bais valve then Out into a t peice that meets the oem hard lines. I've started to try dial it in if it feels like there's to much up front a wee twist and it sends some to the back and vice versa Once the summer comes and i can really push the car think it will be a really hand thing. I've pretty much planned my entire build in my head but the main thing is I want todo as much as possible myself. I love seeing the super clean mental spec cars but I have a far bigger respect for those guys out there putting in the hours to research and having a bash themself. That's where we normally get then new ideas coming from
  9. 5-6k for a stock glanza is fairly high if you look on the forums some really nice clean cars come up for sale from time to time: Personally id buy a nice fairly stock one and just drive it see what your driving styles like and take it from there. Mines a weekend back road blaster so it's a big power loud and bumpy car for the roads around me. Some people prefer the nice easy cruiser that's under the radar. Even in stock forum there fairly nippy at your age there probably won't be many faster cars on the road
  10. Surprisingly the wiring wasn't to bad just need a good system of working though the wires but fuck me getting the plugs and wires though the grommets on the bulk head just frustrated me to the point of Wanting to solder my own eyes out. Be happy when it's done tho I picked up loads of braided sleeving so once am ready to take up the soldering iron again I'll try tidy all the looms
  11. They are 15" by 8j et25 fitments fine now arches are rolled and slight stretch on the tires. Takes abit of work to fit but look stunning
  12. well its certianly been awhile so i might aswell update. am not one for taking pictures of my car so have to deal with my poor grammer and bad spelling sadly. ive also likely forgot a fair bit! the gt28kit was fitted and i done alot of tidy up jobs in preparation for it to go to performance HQ to be mapped. sadly it jumped timing so i had to leave it there and got a call the next day to tell me it made a rather disappointing figure. i was absolutely gutted and asked why and it turns out it wouldnt boost above 1.2bar due to a weak wastegate spring. so i took the car home and orderd a new spring. slowly i relised the car is still an absolute animal so just enjoyed it and worked on tidying things up while i got ready for another run at the dyno. this is how the engine bay looked as i went up to performance HQ. the smashed 98 spec bumper was doing my head in and kept getting worse so it was time to make way for a tom's bumper and carbon eye lids. next up i had fitted all new track rod ends/ball joint and wheel bearings when i got the car to keep things fresh underneath i decided to poly bush the lower arms and fit an anti lift kit i also had a rear anti roll bar so i decided to send it all away to be powder coated as i herd shiny parts increase bhp! after this i enjoyed the car over the summer. picked up a greddy RSS so i can run low boost (1.2bar) round the twistys and hammer the button for full boost (hopefully 2bar) on the straights when ever i get a chance to get back to performance hq picked up a set of takatas from socks and a zisco 6 point strut just to gain some more scene points. out playing with a mates r32 one night down some A roads and i got to the stage after 2-3 mins of having no breaks left at all. so i though fuck it lets sort this out. at the same time i had been debating an electric power steering conversion to get rid of the manky pump. so i decided to to just get ball deep in about it and do it all at once. came home to this package and that was the start of it ended up ditching the abs and doing a front- rear brake split with a wilwood adjustable brake bais valve sadly pics of the pas convertion where on my other phone. i started to re route wires which left me with a bay like this. i drove the car a few hours and foolishly forgot to put the sd card back in my ebc so on some soaking wet roads driving to play with some random bora on the motorway i ended up pulling between 2lanes and the hard sholder of the moterway fighting for traction to discover my turbo had decided to give me 2.04 bar of boost! so i returned home and reset it and while checking over my oil and water to make sure all was ok i had decided i had had enough of the ugly fuse box staring at me!. got out my trusty soldering iron and set about it. decided to just get everything in the car and running before i tryed getting it all tidy so this is my passanger foot well. the manky bay once its all done and grommets arrive ill be cleaning it up. drove around for a day like this and its working perfectly so hopefully this weekend ill get a chance to tidy it all away and have it running again. also picked up this wee strut brace. i have some parts to fit once this is all done along with doing a wee audio install and fitting a tablet instead of a headunit.
  13. Hooray Phil! You'll be back boosting in no time!
  14. I often think a well set up starlet would do well in some classes be very interested to see how u get on is that a custom cages cage?
  15. Asbo tryed to claim someone else's build as there own and wrote a whole build thread on it before disappearing into the back ground when we pointed out it wasn't his car. He frequently pops up from time to time. Just think of him as that guy in the pub that doesnt seem quite right in the head telling you about how much better he is than everyone else when he's quite clearly been refused from the Jeremy Kyle show for being just to dam tragic. Am sure what ever he's on today will wear off and he will retire into the background once again.
  16. aye id buy new unless i was offered a tremous deal ha!. had a browse rhd do them and there on sale and nengun and a few other places aswell
  17. looking to crack the box off my car shortly and while its off id rather future proof the car. with a nice meaty clutch. cars currently running 300bhp but should be close to 380-400 when mappings done. was debating buying the orc 309 serices but it says its only rated to 300PS so seems alittle weak thinking possible need to go for the muilty plate?. also any uk suppliers there on offer on rhd japan right now so thinking thats my best bet? cheers shaun
  18. Spec 6 it looks like. I had one and the release bearing shit itself with in a week I personaly wouldn't Rate them very high
  19. From memory there's a 2 pins on the auto ecu you have to spice to make it work but I've not done it so not sure which
  20. Aye looks a straight forward enough swap to get it to a manual get her bought mate!
  21. How close to done is your Phil what's the spec looking like?
  22. Countless hours behave! Corey's been building this for 7 years ha! Anyway this is a forsales thread and I have no desire to discrete Jordan's build he's building a car his way Corey built his another way. If you can't understand the term personal opinion it means people can have there own thoughts on whats better it doesn't mean either person is wrong. You can think buying load of expensive parts and bolting them in is cool and I can think doing things that hasn't been done before is cool. If you feel like you'd like to argue that people aren't entiled to there own option you can always try discussing this in another thread but this isn't the place.
