  • akyakapotter changed the title to Akyakapotter's Forged Glanza V

Engine has been stripped down it's not good news. Something happened to the crank which inturn has worn a groove into the block flywheel end and also chipped bits of the crank off I'm gutted as the rest of the engine is mint can even still see the hone marks on the bores. So I'm now in need of a block and crank.

A year on still haven't had the new engine built back up yet. life seams to get in the way put away most of the cash to get it built back up now so that's good. Really missing it now hopefully have it back to working condition by summer next year fingers crossed. 

 

cheers nick. 

 

Have a throw back pic of the last time it worked Yakushi 2019281014324_10166235669890305_390216014039660268_n.jpg.2bd1afbdfd59b88f924248cedcb88d59.jpg

NICK!

haha nice to see you still have the V man.

Have you looked at spacing the front wheels out? I used to run 20mm hub centric spacers with my cruise wings on the old black V.

Handled nice with the slightly wider front track.

Hey dude glad to see you back. I have 20mm hubcentric spacers currently think I'd need to get 40mm ones made up for it to look good I'll see when I get round to being bothered. Still waiting on engine to be built up hopefully after winter it's ready for me to pick up.

Yea man, started lurking again. May be back in a starlet shortly too all being well.

Ah I'm sure you will be in love again when the engine is ready and back in. Nothing happens fast when you have a family to prioritise. I know that feeling mate.

Sorted out the front coilovers today one was free and the other wouldn't budge for anything so out came the grinder to cut it off replaced both lower mounts and a few of the collars as they were chewed up lick of copper slip to keep them free.

Decided that today was the day I was getting the engine back in. I've put my broken but working box on just so I can run the engine in. Manage to get in the bay today. Next week I'll button every thing up. Won't be long till it's first start.
