J25GTi Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Well, after months of looking, I found myself a white glanza, bought it yesterday, looks like ill be gettng rid of it aswell now, I got it back to my garage and up on the ramps and started checking it over and investigating a whistling that has appeared on the way home. When I take the heatshield off the exhaust manifold there is a crack around the left hand side exhaust manifold. So looks like its fucked to me and needs a new head! Enjoyed it for a day I suppose, wouldn't piss on the guy I bought it off if he was on fire though! What do you guys think? As bad as it looks? Fixable? Or am I better off driving it through his front door? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 so is the crack on the mani? or the head? if its mani then you may aswell get a new one....if its head a replacement will need to be found which is an excuse to fully forge for more power etc.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glanza Al Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 If I were you mate Id get a new head tbh. This is the kind of thing that happened to me, I got another head, but unfortunately it was cracked in the same place as the one on my Glanza. So I had that welded and swapped them over. I do nothing but worry about it seeping, or cracking again. Seriously mate, source a new head, youll save yourself so much worry, and itll probs be an easy job for you as you sound like a man in the trade. Al. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
