http://s858.photobucket.com/albums/ab142/M...pg&newest=1

also it would be rude not fit this

http://s858.photobucket.com/albums/ab142/M...pg&newest=1

i took it off the road over xmas and sorted out the bumpers and front grill

and this turned up a dobbie front spilter, livesport rear lip

when i spoke to my mate he was getting rid off this

so it was fitted

and then for my xmas pressise to myself one jam intercooler plus a pair off tom's side skirts to finish off the kit

this what she looks like all kitted up

right just a quick update i finaly got the rest of the bits to change the gearbox over now! also looking at a new turbos as mine is

smoking!

[mrkd5916]

all i have to say is what a weekend the weather was just too good too us but as normal i have to spoll it all my

getting a new toy!

the gt is wicked but i do like the glanzas and when i got the chance to buy one with a small engine problem i had to go and

see 1 day later it on the drive

right thats the easy bit so after claming my mum down just be for she killed me it was kinda all hands to

the deck glanza engine and box out, gt engine and box out, alot off pipes and wires later it starting to look good!

all the bits i got for the gt are being fited to the glanza

right back to the manic life off work and problems after having the glanza on the road it kinda had a hip up and kill a headgasket again!

so off to toyota again for a new head gasket and bolts :Facepalm:

right car back on the road better quicker and more fun than ever but still no over happy about the ride hight and handling.

i came across some nice coilovers on another fourm, and they were soon in the post on the way! but with as normal they turned up 5 mins before i

left to go to a track day in wales!

what can i say 2 or 3 pints later at the hotel me and mikey have the greet idea off fitting them and we had them on and sorted

in the hour and then back for another round off drinks

right this it the h/g when i took it out not good at all

right i had a bit time to sort out my steering wheel tonight and refited my toms wheel again

and as i sed here you go joe some pic off the car slamed on tein coilovers

the last one is of my new bit off dash i had to change as i dont have a cd player in the car i blanked it off so that i could fit a turbo timer

and boost contorler there at a later date

thats the weekend over again :'( but i did get a bit off time to do some more to the glanza

fist on the list was to tidy up the battery cable which looks messy and not great if any thing get chucked in the back

using some P clips i sreewed in to the trim on the side to stop the calbe moving about and it looks neater

nex was the expanion tank on the rad i wanted to tidy that piping up as well so some more blue hose was used

this was how it looked

it wasnt to bad you push the pipe under the rad braket and i justed used some more clips to hold it in place

after sitting in front the car still feeling worse for were after the last night i thought it would be i good idea to start cutting

my bumper again to show off more off the front mount

now with teh number plate holder removed its starting to look a bit better and there more air flow for the intercooler as well

number plate refitted using some down pipe borrowed form work which worked great for fixing the number plate to

right the weather this afternoon has been good so i got on and done a bit more to the car by striping the back abit more

right starting to remove the trim now and i fund some horbbie wiring

on the passger side it not too bad olny the battery cable to hide which has fitted nice in beween the panels and is hiding nicely

drivers side was abit more tricky becuase off the earth wires had to be moved as well as the loom

right this is the passgers side all done and looking tidyer and with the battery all conected back up

and the same on the drivers side

but the biggest problem is what the hell i am i going to do with this lot

[mrkd5916]

a bearing. I have removed the pistons and found out that its the 3rd piston,meaning i now need to have the crank regound and the block rebored out,plus

new big and main bearings

sadly i dont have the money to put the car straight back on the road so i wont be taking it to any meets in the nr future, :'( :'(

ahh a day off today and some more work done to the glanza plus some more pics off the dash right ast night i riped out the dash so i could flock it

and make some changes to it for gauges and other bits

so the frist thing was to do was clean up the bits off the dash i wiped them down with some tinners and then painted the flock glue on it, then the

flock on top and its all coming together now, heres some pics off the bits i done today

the bit under the steering wheel

glovebox plus the suround

right this is my dash just been wiped clean with some thinners and ready for the glue for the flock

[Craig_N]

Nice work mate

TBH i could do with all the plastics in your last post just that im miles away from you

[mrkd5916]

i got a bit more done tonight on the car i have moved the brake lines and fitted two T picse one for the front and the other for the back

the top one is for the front which will be one pices braided lines the same as my clutch wich is the blue line you can see,

the bottom one is the rear brakes which i have just rebent the pipes and leave std for now

after along weekend on the piss in bmounth i did get abit more done on the car. frist off a friday night special i fitted the engine in the car

also got the dissy cap back on spark plug in and HT leads on too

also fixed the emanage in under the dash

plus i have welded the plates for a harness

right just a quick pic off the brake lines

right i got up and got on with the car today right frist job was to tidy up some wiring nr the injectors

then the shiny bits! started to fit the brake line fittings

and the clutch ones

next on the list was to change a pipe that had spilt on a beather

right just had soe time tonight to fit my new oil line on the engine

but i was bored at work today, so i cracked on with my dash! ready for some gauges to be fitted,

it started out looking like this, then justed cut out the little bit in the middle ready for some ply

to fill the hole, were the heater vents were! Then it just had a skin off body filler to smooth over it

right its near the end off my holiday, and i been busy working on the car as much as i can! right, here it goes

things have been abit slow latly with money ect, but it all started when my seat mounts came on tuesday

so they were fitted and i ended up welding another bar in to fix them down to

then i fitted the seat in it place

right next one the list was a new earth wire

thats was all done then, i had a call from toyota! to say my flywheel was in, so like a nutter off to toyota to pick it up, and then a ride to my mates

for oil and fliter, ready for the big start.

right it was fitted like a shot, and then gear box was fitted, a last cheak off stuff, and then to prime the engine with oil by cranking it over then it

was time to fire it up!

it fired up on the second time and it ran sweet!!

cuz i fell out of bed today i thought i would get on with the car, frist job was to tidy uopo mums lawn!! then i got on to the dash frist by cutting out

the holes for the gauges,

the it was time to reflock the dash, after the frist time i have been banned from flocking in the house lol so i had to do it on the drive :Facepalm:

then carefully fitted it back in and then all the switchs

right thats another weekend gone and a huge jump forward on the car! right to start with new engine mounts fitted but sadly i need to get another one for

the rear gear box mount

then on the trickyer bit start to stip down the engine again! (i am starting to get quick at this lol)

right the had came off too easy for my liking but hey ho its apart

then it was the boring bit off cleaning up the block and head ready for the new gasket done it now so i dont have to worry about it when i bolt it all

back togetter , then off came the sump and oil pick up. then the off came the big ends ready to push out the pistons, lucky for me i dont have to meaure

the bore because toyota have olny 3 sizes off pistons 1,2,3, which they have samped in to the block

right another hard day at work and cold night on the car

most off the bits came yeasterday so tonight i got on with rebuilding it frist was to bolt the downpipe on to the turbo with a new gasket

then the turbo fitted up the manifold hope to have the gasket for this on thursday

then was the wastegate to bloted in to place

right had a couple hours on the car today so i cracked on with it, i started by taking the glaze off the bores so the new piston rings would wear in

better so not wanting to mess up my new block i ended up buying a glase breaker

then the fun started refitting the pistons

hope to have a bit more done tomorrow as i got the day off

new head gasket came on friday so this weekend was well spent rebuilding the enigne. so with a thick head and me felling sorry for my self that i didnt

get her number i cracked on with the car right the head gasket is a 1.9mm metal one insteed of the 1.2mm oem one to try and keep the compression down

next was the downpipe to be fitted

then i made up the piping for my air filler with a 90 degree bend and the other one is for the intercooler piping

then i was time to start it up i cranked it other to get the oil around the engine and though the turbo after that i turn the key and it fired up

frist time but as my luck goes it was short lived as i saw oil every where on the floor and i had striped a bolt which was to the oil line for the turbo.

so at leased i know it starts so with the weather on my side i finshed some off the little bits off the frist was to tweek a mount that hold my down pipe

in place as the manifold and downpipe was made for a 4e it wasnt out my much

new year new start so before i do any thing happy new year!!

right back to the car , i had it running for a bit now on the std injectors with no probs, so its all good. Just before xmas my 550cc injectors came,

which will be more than big enough for want i want. I sadly didnt take any as i fitted as the amount of fuel thats in the fuel rail is nuts.

a picture of the new injectors

right for completing that car i ordered a new catch can for it form hong kong and it came looking like this

i have to give them some credit for being christmasy !

right here we go as you all know now i not shy of getting my hands drity with the car, so i after have the car sat on the drive running, and as

close as i could get it being finshed. it was time to booked it for it frist remapp which was ment to at 8.30 this morning!!!

right so not sleeping last night i was up and ready, the car was already at Veysport waitting, so with a freshly charged battery and

al last

min cheak of the oil and water, she was sat idleing want for andy to take it, and put on the rolling road,

Then it went all to pot! the mapper didnt have the right data cable which ment a drive to harveys to grab his then back to the mappers. Sorted,

( i should be so lucky)

then they couldnt get the ecu to connect to the laptop! ( by this time i am not happy at all)

so we sorted that by updateing my ecu to the new softwere as its work spot on happy days,

first thing was to get it to idle better which it purs! Then on to the good stuff starting to see what it can do! on the frist run my luck

changed for the worrise when we found out there was no boost,

as we looked in to the turbo the finns on the compresser side where shot! i think it were the shaft has too much play and it beat it seft

to piceses so its a new turbo once again for it sadly,

on the plus side i did drive it down the track and it sound so nice, just cant wait to get it back now

i did get some pics of it on the rolling road for you guys

Here we go, it was mapped yeasterday at veysport and made over 200bhp at the flywheel which I am over the moon,

This time like very other the car wanted to fight all the way, frost by the blow off valve or dump valve not holding puressure,

so that was taken off then there was a problem with the boost controller not venting which was down a 1mm hole needing to be drilled.

Things to do now are

New rad

New wastegate

New blow off valve

New boost controller

Fit the srceamer pipe

Tax

Fit air filtter

having the glanza on the road was cut short sadly due to a oil leak, so on with finding out were the oil leak was it was down two bits,

crankshaft seals and sump gasket,

so with that in mind its easyer to remove the enigne and gearbox,

2 hours later the engine is on the floor,

gearbox was next to come off

then time to take the cam belt and bottom pully off to get to the seal on the camblet side

the camblet side is all done now and i time the engine back up just waiting on the gearbox side now to fit

also on the upside the postman turned up with my new alloy rad and new fan

Awesome, where abouts do you live

[Sparky]

Yea lets see an abs removal guide mines coming out, is there anything I need off a non ABS GT??

[mrkd5916]

dont spose you have any pics for a guide?!

right i there a spliter on the bulkhead that you remove and T the 2 rear lines in to, then then just run it to the master cylinder, use the hole on the top of the master cylinder, then do the same for the front brakes, using the hole on the side of the master cylinder,

i think you will have to make up your front lines in side the engine bay, because they run in to the abs unit but i 100% sure without looking

this one shows the 2 rear lines T together

and this one is the master cylinder to the T for the rear line

i hope this helps

[mrkd5916]

Awesome mate, alot of time and effort into this

NICEEEEEE build dude keep it going

cheers guys
