paul w Posted November 7, 2007 Posted November 7, 2007 Not that hard mate,bumper off you may need to remove the bumper bar too.Rad out an obviously the topmount + accosiated hoses/brackets. Won't take more than 2 hrs to do. Quote
ady Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 took me about 4 hours start to finish. on my own.you will need to remove the crash bar if you are fitting it to a glanza Quote
scotty Posted November 8, 2007 Posted November 8, 2007 i wood recomend gettin someone to giv u a hand because tryin to line up the pipes n join them is a bit awkward,the hardest part i thot was trimming the bumper so tht it fitted bk on Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 Ive got to be honest, the front brace bar on glanzas is only bolted on..So if you were to have an accident heavily, the bolts would just snap and the bar would give way.If it was a seam welded support brace, i would definately have a problem removing it, but seeing as its not.. i dont see the harm tbh.The bolts in mine were that rusty they almost snapped when i removed them any way lol Quote
Glanza_Ragger Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 I'll have disagree with that unfortunately mate. I have the offical documentation that says otherwise and some experience with the issue. The front bar is a major benefit in a frontal collision, it forms part of the safety struture of the EP91 chassis. Those chassis legs should stay together, it's a reinforced unit with strengthened bolts. Without it you lose strutural integraty and rigidity - the glanza in those pics suffered handling issues from the point of fitment until the point of impact.Just speaking from personal experience.Well i cant see how a brace that hasnt been seam welded would help, But you sound like you've read more documentation that me..So fair enough.How are GT's braced jay?

Glanza_Ragger Posted November 11, 2007 Posted November 11, 2007 Sounds fair, I was just wondering because when i was fitting a mates manifold and turbo to his gt, i noticed it didnt have the brace.Is there no other extra supports inside the chassis frame to help strengthen it? Quote
briggers Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 your scaring me lol. why did you have to say that when i got a gt turbo. lol Quote
