Akyakapotter's Forged Glanza V

Sometimes you just have to take a step back to sort other things out it's a smart move imo

I have got a full hose kit arrived today From tuning devlopments so that will go on when i have a spare few hours.

Cheers nick.

[akyakapotter]

Got my full hose kit looks spot on will find time fit them at some point.

Cheers nick.

Went down to the shit Box Wednesday and fitted new rad hoses and water pump elbow hose hopefully it's stopped the leak now.

Still have the rest of the hoses to fit but ran out of daylight will get round to it at some point.

Gave it a run up for half hour after getting it started stupid flat battery alarm drained it as was left for to long all seams well now wasn't leaking when i left. I will check when i start it up next week.

I'm toying with the idea of sending it up to TD to have a few issues sorted as don't have time or can be bothered to do it my self.

New oil pump after I had to helix coil it due to sump bolts stripping threads

Sort the ksports out something is up vague pedal feel

Sort rear brakes out hardly work 

Sort oil leak out gearbox side think Crank is possibly warn.

Haven't 100% decied yet but I'm 80% sure it's going up.

Cheers nick.

[akyakapotter]

Still not sure yet. Gonna drive it for a bit see how it goes can't really afford to send it away at the moment Christmas and trisks stag doo and wedding have cost a small fortune lol. 

Cheers nick.

Popped up to hel this morning for them to measure up a line from master to slave cylinder on the clutch to help them out. So thought I may as well get one while I'm there. Will get it fitted up at some point.

Cheers nick.

In car view not sure how it came out due to the sun and it being a cheap knock off camera.

Not much going on with the glanza these days think my current gearbox is dying a death. So picked up a spare box. Took it to Guernsey last week for trisks wedding quite a cool line up of wedding cars it was a blast and good to use it for 5 days.

[akyakapotter]

Managed to get a video of the horrid sound my gearbox is making

That wedding looks epic. Really cool cars to see there..part of the attraction to be fair.

[akyakapotter]

Went down to the garage today to get ready to pull the box next thing I no this happened.

Clutch and flywheel are still mint happy about that. Leaking oil from somewhere but not quite sure where. So going to clean it all up and run a bead of sealant between the sump and seal. Then put my spare box in to see off the problem goes away. 

Cheers nick.
