Chris_14a Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) I thought I would start a project thread as a few people have mentioned it and have been meaning to do one for a while.I ended up with my glanza when I swapped it for my 200sx last march ish. I wasnt sure about getting rid of the 200 but due to petrol cost etc I made the choice and it is a choice I am glad I made as the 200 would never have been able to kepp up with my glanza on track.So when I got the glanza home it wasnt in the best shape and needed a few bits finishing and tidying it up (no lambda probe etc). I dont know who had it before the previous owner or were it came from tho tried to track it down but no one knows.After a few weeks of tidying it up at the back of the house it looked like this Edited October 15, 2014 by Chris_14a Quote

morgey Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Nice mate, what front bumper is this? I dont recognise it :s Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 (edited) He told me what it was but i forget , it does look mint though ! Edited October 8, 2012 by Starbo Moorley Quote
Chris_14a Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 I will get some recent pics up soon mate and I will remember that when I out brake you at japfest next year I had been speaking to Nick and Mike at Tuning developments alot about the car and decided were I want to go with it and what I needed to do as they have been a massive help.I then decided the hole in the front bumper needed filling It wasnt long after that I took the car to japfest for the first time and took it on track and I couldnt beleave how well it did against more powerful and newer cars. Then this picture turned up Quote
Starbo Moorley Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Epic pic but equaly as epic body roll lol Quote
Chris_14a Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 The bumper is a Jam version 2 I think and I have never seen another one over here tbh.I then took it to a few more shows last year and enjoyed all of them and got to know the car abit more.Then changed my job and got a company car so I took it off the road at the beginning of the year and changed alot. The car came with a cusco lsd but this didnt suit the way I drove the car so after fitting a oem lsd (also had a spec clutch) which is less agressive I then fitted a rear arb and new panard rod. I have also since fitted new front arms with full polybushes and I really like the way the car handles now so looking forward to some track time next year. I sold the k24 and ordered one of Tuning developments new td04 kits with custom turbo really is a quality bit of kit (taken alot of abuse this year never missed a beat no pictures tho ). Quote
Chris_14a Posted October 8, 2012 Author Posted October 8, 2012 Yeah the bodyroll was bad lol wasnt bad on road tyres haha. I mite have forgotten to turn the coilovers up and It only had a trd antiroll bar and strut braces at the time no other chasis mods Quote

morgey Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Very nice mate, id like to see this thing in action!I stayed at the same place At the ring aswel Quote
Jack-CTR Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 haha I've not done combe yet, looked like a good track when went japfest Quote
Liam_D Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 Awesome Glanza mate properly love this car. Good to see it gets used properly too Posted in the wrong section though Quote
Chris_14a Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Cheers for the comments. I only realised it was in the wrong section today ha The nurburgring was probably one of the best places I have been tbh. Combe is a good circuit better for smaller cars Quote
Jack-CTR Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 ah my civics.not overly small pretty quick big power kind of track aint it? Quote
Amjad Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Very cool! I believe this is Seab's old car Quote
Chris_14a Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 Yeah it was seabs car before me no idea were it appeared from before that. Spent a lot ont it since then its changed a lot. Wouldn't of said it was big power I kept up with a lot of stuff last year. Quote
smobey_sutton2 Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 ah my civics.not overly small pretty quick big power kind of track aint it?Castle combe is all about power to weight ratio. If you have a light car that corners well with good power, then you will lap alot quicker than a heavy high powered car. Quote
Jack-CTR Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 Castle combe is all about power to weight ratio. If you have a light car that corners well with good power, then you will lap alot quicker than a heavy high powered car.should suit me then Quote
Chris_14a Posted October 10, 2012 Author Posted October 10, 2012 He said with good power haha you will do mate it will surprise you Quote
Jack-CTR Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) pft power isnt everything, man sized rev limit is!when we go fetch the engine/car back in a few weeks.time.from.TD ill let you take the torque less honda for a spin Edited October 10, 2012 by Jack-CTR Quote
Chris_14a Posted October 11, 2012 Author Posted October 11, 2012 Managed to get this from a mate as my current seat is getting abit old now and it has always been abit tight for longer journeys haha. Will be getting this fitted over the next few weeks but I am going to make custom rails due to my seat sitting high on its current rail.I also completed my collection of stri guages but have not got them all fitted back in yet due to having the dash out of the car because of a water leak that is now fixed so will get pictures of them when it is all back together. Quote
Chris_14a Posted October 28, 2012 Author Posted October 28, 2012 Just thought I would put up a few pics I found after looking through my computer.This was at japfest this year cant wait to get the car back on track next year.And this Is from the road to the nurburgring which is one of the best roads ever Will put up a few more later but got to go to work now on a sunday haha Quote
