right update time

starting off with a bad update

i was driving the glanza around on wednesday and a guy in a mercades decided it was fun to change lanes on a round about so i had no where to go, either hit him or hit a curb and drive on the path so i hit the curb at about 20mph and buckled the passanger side wheel and bent the track rod end but its only slightly bent so will do for now and it also very slightly curbed the wheel ;)

granted it doesnt look bad but the wheel is fairly out of balance now so cant take the car over 60mph as the wheel vibration is awful!

so after the bad news i got bored and lowered the rear of the car so waiting for that to bed in nicely.

then hazzagray come round and gave me a hand sorting out the turbo issue. as you may no the turbo wasnt boosting untill 4000rpm so we took all the turbo, mani and de-cat off to check for damage

the turbo seemed in good condition but there is some shaft play and a fairly bad crack in the wastegate

we allso realised that some cheapy nasty gaskets were used

you can see it had ripped in half

so we put it all back together using new genuine gaskets

and she is boosting right again!!!

finally feels so good to drive again

so after this gave it a good clean and she is gleaming!

Shame the livesport fenders were for a 91. No good for my ep82. Was a sad day taking the fenders off shortys car. Glad to see them go to a good home tho. Keep them original. Any one want the rest of shorts car. Offers welcome. Don't want it in my drive to long lol
