Galliano Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 looking good mate, im with Sicaln, loving the colour schemequite looking forward to some updates ;) Quote
Galliano Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 by the way, you need a JAM air diversion plate like this one on Sicaln's Glanza Quote
SiCaln Posted October 26, 2008 Posted October 26, 2008 y thanks man u can get copies for cheaper from funky styling Quote
MikeN Posted November 6, 2008 Author Posted November 6, 2008 I was looking into getting an air division plate, the Jam one looks really nice. When i got back from holiday this tuesday i found that my candy blue powdercoated rocker cover had arrived. I will make some pictures soon, it looks really nice. It was done by an American company because i wanted to check out how their work was for future parts. Also cant wait to put my Bride seat in. I'm bidding on a rail right now on Yahoo, i hope i win so i can put it in soon. Quote
Sparky Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 Good news, looking forward to seeing the rocker Quote
MikeN Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 Not a lot of updates lately, this because i wanted to get some service items out of the way.So the Glanza got new belts, new exedy clutch set and an oil change with sard oil filter. Must say the difference with the new clutch set is amazing. Car just feels like new. If it stops raining today i will place my bride seat, received my seat frame last week I still had to post a picture of the rocker cover:The color looks best in the sun, which we don't have to often here in Holland lately So this is the best i could do for now.

Sparky Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Looks gude dude, cant wait to see it fitted along with the seat Quote
MikeN Posted December 1, 2008 Author Posted December 1, 2008 The seat is in, but it was a little dark to make some pictures. Was a real bitch to get it in, more or less becaue of my own stupidity For some reason the seat wouldn't slide back or forth. After lots of trying i noticed that it was because the lever couldn't go up far enough.Must say it feels much better now, i never was a big fan of the original seats. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. Quote
Galliano Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 sounds good man, i hope all problems were simple and easily fixed Quote
Pav Posted December 2, 2008 Posted December 2, 2008 This is one of my favorite glanzas, love what you've done with it. That blue on the rocker cover looks spot on too! Quote
Galliano Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 pictures dont magically appear.. wanna see whats poppin with this motor!! **Pav.. get yours done, cant get enough of the blue ** Quote
MikeN Posted December 3, 2008 Author Posted December 3, 2008 pictures dont magically appear.. wanna see whats poppin with this motor!! **Pav.. get yours done, cant get enough of the blue ** This weekend i'll make some pics.This week i'm leaving in the dark in the morning and come back in the dark in the evening, bloody traffic jams And thanks Pav, quite like yours too, especially the engine modifications, pretty much the same i want to do next.I started thinking about my next set of wheels. Want something special this time, something i don't get bored of soon. There was a nice set of BBS RS 3 piece wheels on a Dutch website a while ago, perfect offset and width. I still regret that i not bought them then.Also looking at a set of wheels which i'm pretty sure of there's no set in Europe at the moment. Only saw them on a Civic in the US. Problem is that the width and offset are not perfect. 7,5" with offset 33. Quote
Guest Enzo Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 lol you can never have enough rims lol, intreeged about these ones that are 7.5 inches wide, Quote
Glanza-Love Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 HHMMMM... ive seen this before realy rings a massive bell... Quote
MikeN Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 HHMMMM... ive seen this before realy rings a massive bell...Cool! I've been doing it for quite a while now, had one on my Civic before the Glanza. I've added a 'Duckhunt' duck on the rear window to recently. Have lots of nintendo related decals at home at the moment, the duckhunt dog, Koopa and a bomb omb. I'm a pretty big Nintendo fan boy.I found a pic of the wheels i'm interested in on the Civic:They also sell them in Black. But i think it would be to much work to fit them properly. Besides that i really need a stiff coilover setup to make sure it won't rub.In Black: Love the old school look. Also still thinking about a set of J-line wheels, those a my favorite for a long time now. But i only can get those if the Dollar will fall very far down They use to do a really cool 'blue chrome' finish. I'm not sure if they do that still though. If i could i would buy a new set of wheels every week probably Quote
Guest Enzo Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 thsoe jline wheels rock, im after a new set too for some track work next year too Quote
MikeN Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 thsoe jline wheels rock, im after a new set too for some track work next year tooThey have a couple of other great designes too, but for a set of 15" you pay easily 400$ a wheel ex shipping. Do you already have an idea what your after? Quote
Guest Enzo Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 im always open to suggestions, they need to be from 15-17 inches and 7.5 wide and uber lightthe only ones ive come up with so far are ssr-f-rs's like the ones on this evothe ligtest 17s by 7.5 at 17lbs a rim, planning on fitting 235 section semi slicks, only problem is its clsoe to $500 a wheel exc shipping so it looks pretty far off and will probably have to think of something else Quote
BenV Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 loving the old school rim bud, also think they would look good in either colour Quote
MikeN Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Those SSR's are very very nice.If you want something lightweight and Japanse your more or less bound to the bigger manufacturers i guess, rays, ssr, advan, enkei and wedsport, something forged. Wedsport has a crazy wheel, 18" and under 3kg:I don't even want to know how much it is though I came across a set of wheel today for sale in Holland which i have a bit of a softspot for, Work Leadsled: Perfect offset and width, only i'm not sure they will work on the Glanza.
