MickL Posted May 20, 2017 Author Posted May 20, 2017 Next job to strip the interior and fit Safety Device cage and that is hard work getting the cage to sit square to mark the position of the mounts.Done now need take out to paint the interior. Quote
MickL Posted May 20, 2017 Author Posted May 20, 2017 Just a quick note I removed the sticky sound proofing and weight it after I finished 3.6kg Quote
MickL Posted May 20, 2017 Author Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) Next job engine bay for fab work. Few things I wanted to do here, firstly to see if I could do something about flexing in bulkhead when pressing the brakes hard.Good friend mine was doing most of wielding and came up with idea to re enforce wall behind the master cylinder. And also I had an aluminium block made to fill the space around 4 spacer what hold the brake assembly to fire wall. Not sure it's going to work yet until I complete brake system (pipe work) , but does now feel very solid. Edited May 20, 2017 by MickL Quote

MickL Posted May 21, 2017 Author Posted May 21, 2017 I got this silver 97 Glanza 110k on the clock last July for the intention to do hillclimb and sprints. The car was pretty stock with aftermarket blitz air filter and blitz rear box. I quickly fitted replacement intercooler, relocated the air filter, BR coil overs, rear anti roll bar and toms frount bumper. Enter it in to the last 3 events at Harewood hill climb in the road going class before I stripped for the winter. Quote
