Mikes 98 spec glanza....281HP TD04L forge build....European road trip completed

[Vturbo]

So today we started swapping the input shafts over, gears and synchros all look in good condition, going to install new input and output bearings too.

[Broony]

id price new syncros if i were you and change them while you have them out. they might look ok but could be worn. changed my 5th gear and the syncro looked fine, swapped it out and what a difference

It's worth a shout to be honest, dependant on price and how long they take to get here. The gearbox was very smooth though

[Broony]

they shouldnt be too much if i remember correctly

[fordie_glanzaV]

Think i prices up the syncros between £20-£30

If u get stuck with any bits I've got alsorted box of gearsets here. And a casing..

Cheers mate, I have two good condition donor boxes but both have broken casing so not short on bits

[fordie_glanzaV]

Thats ok then mate...

Hope u get it sorted then ;)

So gearbox is all repaired, just waiting for my clutch to arrive....also purchased a new front mount filter for the td04. Considering getting a civic rad to free up some space!

[Vturbo]

Well the clutch arrived safe and well. Hopefully going to fit it Wednesday and chuck the box back in

[Vturbo]

Well, gearbox is back in. Wasn't expecting the clutch to rattle that much lol also making some adjustments to the seat rail to lower the seating position by 2 or 3 inches

[RobSR]

They make a nice noise

[jayc-glanza17]

How it feel to drive mike?

[Vturbo]

Not driven it yet, finishing of the seat, should be on the road tonight

[Vturbo]

Clutch feels good to drive with, a lot easier than I thought! The low seating position now is good too. Feels so much better

[Vturbo]

Fitted an adjustable fpr today, set it just under 3 bar and getting good afrs, haven't been able to really out the boot in until now.Feels great at 0.7 bar....can't wait to get if mapped to 1.4-1.5

[jayc-glanza17]

Glad all going well buddy..

Hopefully i be back within 6 weeks

Took a drive up to Bristol, few pics from cheddar gorge

[jimmymac101]

[fordie_glanzaV]

Im down that neck of the woods aswell at the moment...

[Vturbo]

Yeah it's performing well. Only running 0.8 on an fpr and standard management. the gorge was epic though. I'm only down here till tomorrow then driving back

[jimmymac101]

If your staying in bristol the back roads between gorge qnd bristol are amazing at night!!

Glad to hear shes driving well

[Vturbo]

Not really much to update. Had to postpone mapping till the 5th of April due to work commitments. Gives me a bit of time to sort my dodgy wheel bearing and a few oil leaks..mainly sump and rocker cover. But other than that the miles are going on, up to 1700 miles. Just can't wait to get the thing mapped!

[Vturbo]

Small update, all the oil leaks have been fixed, resealed the sump and gave it a good clean out. Also sorted the rocker cover leaks and done the two front wheel bearings. So all is good and ready for mapping on Tuesday. Debating also wether to drive the car to southern Spain in a couple of months!

[Vturbo]

Made it to the mappers, just waiting on news!

[Vturbo]

Okay well, the car made 240 @1.4 bar, the mapper said the the actuator is weak, also there is a noise coming from the top end so they had to hold back. apparently it sounds like det but it's not. Happens past 5500rpm. Going to strip the head ASAP..: in the meantime any ideas?
