sd075 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Updates!! Installed the gauges. Bought and installed a Greddy FMIC system. Bought a 2nd rocker cover, waiting to get welded (race spec cover). FMIC install Blitz! Upper mount fitted. Lower mounts fitted. Removed bumper lip and trimmed front bumper to fit FMIC. Sits all the way back. Cold side fitted. Hot side fitted. Fits! Just need to trim the bumper a bit more as it slightly hits the FMIC pipes. Been cruising with my mate and his EG5-b16a swapped. STRI gauges for oil temp and pressure. Scored some OEM amber corners. Been working on this 2nd rocker cover. Prolly gonna have the AN8 fittings welded this week. Next updates: Nicely trim front bumper lip to fit FMIC. Install the EBC. Rocker cover. Cheers, Jurr Edited February 11, 2013 by sd075 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sd075 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Nice update, progress coming along really well (y) Thanks! Have to get it ready with some major upgrades for the upcoming season 'start' meeting which is held on the 31st of March. Lovely build this, nice to see you're taking your time to get things done how you want them. Cheers buddy, as said as above. Want to get a few more things done before the 31st of March. Starting to look real nice now mate good work Yeah, I'm actually starting to like it. I have owned a blue '96 EK4 stuffed with JDM goodies which makes it kinda hard to build something better, but we're slowly getting there! There are still a few minor things that need to be fixed. I think there is an electrical problem with the gauges as they give weird readings (6 bar oil pressure and merely 70 on the temperature gauge after driving around for 2hrs) So need to check what's wrong, I think it's the GND. Also they're ductaped in atm so need to mount them properly aswell. The Defi/TRD boost gauge has to be placed back in the cockpit and I want to have it running trough my EBC which will be installed somewhere next week if I can find a moment or 2.

maddox710 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Whats the jfb ebc like? I've heard some good stuff about them, mighty car mods use there products Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sd075 Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 Don't know yet, haven't found the time to get it installed.But it seems pretty easy to install and to set the boost and gain, makes sense for a newby booster like me. ^^ I might get a shot at installing next sunday as I'm away for work the whole week.Will update with photos etc. and a quick review when the job is done ;). I bought this before it was MCM cool tho, so I have the older version (v1) than the one MCM uses on their Starlet Evo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sd075 Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Trimmed and refitted the front lip to suit the FMIC!Picture was taken @ the Assen TT-circuit for the Dutch season starter and round 1 qualification Time-Attack series. Also continued on the rockercover project which is at the welder atm.Can prolly pick this up this afternoon and get it ready for spraying! Oh by the way, some of you might think I hit Hello Kitty on the way there.She was actually hitchhiking along the way to Assen, completely undressed and all sore, bruised and worn out.Told her to sit right there, hold on thight and don't frikkin' move!

sd075 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thanks alot folks!Going to spray the purple/red-ish center caps of the Sprintharts also orange, gonna be awesome! Hopefully swap the rocker cover today, have to slightly mod the oil catch can as it needs another fitting for the breather filter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sd075 Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 I managed to install the freshly painted race spec rocker-cover and (modded) oil catch can last weekend!I'll just post up pics and talk them over ^^ Before installing: Removed original rocker cover and cleaned off the last few bits of the original gasket. Everything looked clean and oily underneath! Installed the rocker with the AN-8 fittings on, also cleaned the blue NGK ignition leads. Hung up the modded OCC (had to add a 3th nipple on top for the breather filter) Connected the rocker's AN-8 fittings to the OCC using a black hose, some clamps and fancy blue ty-wraps. Instead of a breather filter I connected the leftovers of the hose on the 3th nipple on top of the OCC and have it run somewhere under the gearbox to avoid dying from the oil fumes. Bay from a distance.Still have to paint the "Toyota" but will do this in time. I also picked up my orange silicone vacuum tubing so prolly going to install the EBC tomorrow, get rid of that fugly purple tubing.When that's done I will most likely install the short route kit which I recieved a few weeks ago from RW-Developments.

sd075 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Let's blow off some dust here! Have to confess that I have been neglecting the Glanza a bit for the past year, no inspiration, few minor setbacks and have been trying to sell the car since, without result.I have been discussing to swap the Glanza for a stunning Lancer EVO4, which is prolly going to happen soon. I killed my turbo the other day, been driving around without an airfilter and dumpvalve for quite a while now, well.. it's not exactly the most wise thing to do, altho the turbo flutter/chatter is kinda awesome.So I bought a replacing ct9 turbo off a totalled Glanza over here on this side of the pond. I replaced the turbo and installed back my long route FMIC piping so I could also install my SARD R2D2 BoV again.Have to say, I did kinda miss the sound of the loud sigh.. ^^Anyway, I bought an airfilter relocation kit off Conor, including a HKS shroom filter which is on it's way.Also reinstalled my rear interior and catalic/converter and set boost levels back to stock. In my search for parts I kinda got back on here and after walking trough this progress topic I do feel as if I let the car down, so I prolly will clean and polish it soon to make it up hehe.If for whatever reason the Glanza will not be swapped for this evo, I will most likely spend some more money and have it back in mint condition. Just a few recent random pics: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gainzy Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 You will need to upgrade your ecu if your want to push the boost up to 1 bar looks like another nice example! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
