Glanza Mac Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) Bought this White Glanza V after owning a Red Starlet Glanza Replica N/A.Saw it on Ebay and just thought it has my name all over it , Travelled 400 Miles in total to get the car and it was worth the 8 hours driving to have it back at my door step. As soon as me and my dad arrived at the old owners house in Essex, he arrived in it from just freshly cleaning the car... it sounded so sweet especially when that dumpvalve went tishhhh, i fell in love at that moment before i had even given the car a once over.Had a good look round and it did have a few little bits to attend to but to be fair the lad had listed them so i was pretty pleased all in all.Took it for a test drive.. nearly stalled it mind as it has a paddle clutch for you who dont know is either On or Off which i wasnt really used to, got out to the open round and opened her up a little, from having a 1.6L Ford Fiesta Zetec S (100-110 BHP) then owning a 1.3L Starlet N/A (86.2 BHP)too driving this (150-170 BHP) Pocket Rocket was just scary (BHP Quoted By previous owner), was really suprised how pinned i was to the seat as i wasnt expecting it to be as powerful as it was.Took it back to the guy and handed over the money ...

Glanza Mac Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 well my plans is to do the engine bay orange and blue , interior red and white and outside white and carbon fibre bits Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 well that lasted long, was perfectly enjoying my car when yesterday i put my car down my drive, half an hour later i went to reverse out my drive, put my foot down on the clutch and this horrible squeeling/scraping sound appeared ;)slowly reversed it out my drive and took it up the street, car drives fine but the sound isnt healthy, all last night i was up looking for the answer, didnt really get a definate answer were someone has experience this kinda noise before but the majority thought it was the clutch release bearing.took the car to a local garage today and the guy said the same, so its gonna be a good £400 in labour im guessing...but luckily i did my work experience there from college and it turns out i know have a little job doing 3 days a week so ill be working on my own vehicle next week and the wages ill be getting will be taken of the bill so win win ... some things that are one day so depressing and terrible that the next it all turns out good since the car wont be driven about i might aswel crack on with painting a few more items, maybe paint my inner archs etc updates will be posted shortly.

Glanza Mac Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 soo now my car is off the road for a bit i thought i would start doing some more bits removed my ducktail spoiler to check the condition of the boot as the colour around the spoiler was going a bit beige when i removed it my face just dropped the fact it was so so dirty!got my trusty tar remover which works wonder and cleaned it up the remains is the old glue or whatever Also removed my badge as it was beige inbetween the badge and couldnt get to it so i got a very very thin small flat headed screwdriver and pealed it offAll clean soo didnt quite no what to do next at that point so i had a look in my garage to give me some ideas and i found a tin of black hamerite which i used to underseal my Fiesta with (prone to rust), so i thought i would paint my inner archs to protect them from rusting as i hear these dont come coated in anything at the factoryso on the jack she goesremoved the wheel and i came across this baby!Had a look on the other side on my car because i couldnt see a make on this side and they are infact Tein Coilovers! WIN! just very tired and not wound down ;)What the inner arch looked likeTooLooks pretty good and its just nice to feel safe that your archs wont go rusty any time soon ... Touch wood!unfortunatly my dad came back after i had finished this one and he wanted me to build up his 125cc Rotax Max kart so i had to down tools Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikey b Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Be careful the rear Tein sus you have the adjusting/ locking rings are dead. At the moment it's prety dangerous to be driving about on. You can see the locking ring is only half there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 what could actually happen then ? "/, they will just drop to the bottom or? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glanza Mac Posted September 20, 2011 Author Share Posted September 20, 2011 My car is now back on the road it wasnt the release bearing at fault it was that the previous owner who had a new clutch and lsd put in the gearbox had not tightened all the bolts up connecting the engine and bellhousing together properly. One bolt was completely missing and one bolt with less than finger tight, so i put a new bolt in and tightened the other bolt up (FT) and started the car up and pressed the clutch....Bingo no more noise!it was making the squeeling/scraping noise because the gearbox had moved slightly and the fly wheel was scraping on a metal plate on the gearbox bell housing which protects dirt and water getting inside.while the car was up on the ramps i took a few pictures 1st of all LSD Gearbox Tein Rear Coilover (horrible condition)Actually on the ramp Turbo (shiney oil return pipe)After work i thought i would spray a few more little bitsRad StayBonnet propBattery clampAll Quote Link to post Share on other sites
