dale10ellis10 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 First of all i wanna apologise for how long its took to actually getting a build thread up and running lol Been on here a while but just been really busy with other things as well.Anyway here goes,Had a pretty mental clio before, some of you may have seen the pics i put up a while back. Anyway i decided it was time for a change and i really fancied something turbo'd.. thought about a glanza but i kept being put off by how old they were.. viewed a few videos on youtube with glanza's of all specs and i never looked back really wanted my own.Managed to get a a part x with a lad that wanted my clio and i wanted the glanza and he gave me a cheeky £2800 my wayIt already had a few minor mods but standard engine bar a filter. Much to my liking it was a decent specced model with the footwell illumination and the key illumination amonst other OEM goodies,The lad really didnt look after it and it was coverd in scratches and marks and just generally tatty all round.Picking it up:I wasnt really keen on how it looked standard and the power wasnt great going from a 200bhp track spec clio.. so spent some of the money i got from the lad on visual upgrades and a few performance choice mods for now Some paintwork sorted outRota slipstreams with toyo T1r'sJ-performance FMIC- what a biatch to fit! Monster Motorsport Air Filter RelocationCarbon Fibre BonnetGot the roof and mirrors painted piano blackEnded up busting a hole in the radiator accidently so sourced a new radiator too Added a few choice stickers and some extra speakers to fit into the door pods.Got some BC racing coilovers from Enzo and picked up a Whiteline panhard rodFitted:Didnt like the look of the OEM front lip so got a laguna splitter instead and sold the lip to David AshtonLED number plate lights:Decided to take the car off the road over the winter and start a build for more power and basicly build the car i wanted in the first place. Unfortunatly the unit that me and my mates had the lease ran out and i had to find a new home for all my cars and stuff.Not ideal but it was the only option= council garages got a few of them for all my stuff.The cars new home: Started collecting quite a few parts for the build:Hybrid CT9 Managed to score a set of Evo Recaros The strip down began:Removed all the dash and sent it away to be flocked and sent the plastic parts to the body shop to be sprayed blue Began to strip the engine down ect..Found this ;)Back in and painted:Decide i needed some washer jets as the carbon bonnet didint have any,relocated them into the scuttle panel and orderd 2 Insignia fine mist washer jets from work ;)Sent a few bits away to be powder coated ect..As it stands today, everything isnt bolted up its just test fitted really as im still waiting for a few items Oil feed/return pipe from ricky and a clear cambelt cover from riko's group buy and the dash board to return ect.. amongst other little bits.Any comments welcome Dale.

B11G KY Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Great set up pal lover the rocker how much was it to get powder coated and how does it cope with the heat? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dale10ellis10 Posted March 11, 2010 Author Share Posted March 11, 2010 Great set up pal lover the rocker how much was it to get powder coated and how does it cope with the heat?Cheers mate, Rocker cover was £40 to powder coat simply because they have to remove every last trace of oil from the inside and the outside of the cover as it contaminates the paint Should stand up to heat no problem but it hasnt been started yet as its all not built upDale.
