Shorty's Cruise Kitted Glanza

[Amjad]

Nice work dude!

Good job on the LSD polybushes! In what way would they make a difference?

[Sanchez]

Nice mate, love the time, effort and MONEY lol that has gone into this, will be an awesome car!

Love the blitz leads, where did you get them? i thought i had thick ones (8.8 splitfire) but yours is bigger

[shorty]

Simlar to trd uprated bushes, but made of polyurathane so little to no flex meaning no loss of power though engine movement, and they wont wearout like rubber mounts do. The lsd bush has never been developed and looking at the oem mout they take a lot of strain from the lsd so will be fantastic to finaly put a poly mount on there ;-)

@ sanchez, found in japland mate, never seen em before for a starlet so had to have them. And bigger is better

Sorry im not big on shouting about my progress but i realy should learn to be. Ok well, just bought a vf24, roose hoses, got my disks for my ae111 brakes now, and some very very rare wheels that i love and had on my first v but you will have to wait for the refurb before you see them also she is up and running and has 600 miles on her from rebuild and im no fag so these hav been a mix of slow break in and now im at the boostin to .5bar stage and all seems well, need external set up then on with the vf and finaly a 1.4bar map on the dastek!! Ill clean her and upload some pics tomorrow.

[Dan507]

Good to see she's A-OK.

[Dan507]

PLEASE sell my your bonnet or let idrees use it for a mould. Can i bribe you with some HRF spats?

[SiCaln]

never ever do this, like the TTE lip - like it said in the Bible though shall not copy Cruise bodyparts

[Dan507]

had a look at getting a cruise Bonnet and bumper they wanted 1.8k for shipping!!

[Liam_D]

Totally agree the Cruise bonnet should not be replicated! Make rare parts just not rare anymore.

[MARC MOSS]

[shorty]

well tiny update, alternator belt snapped the other day! uber gay had to tow the V home with my mates s13 didnt get home till 3am not an easy tow lol. any how put it down to the persistant tiny oil leak and the cold, havnt used the car realy since the weather turned but she is off for the oil leak to be sorted, also ordered two new aux belts (alternator and pas) and a new power enterprise kevelar timing belt, notthat the old power enterprise is worn but can never be to careful with oil leaks on belts. the orc overhaul kit and orc lutch will be fitted at the same time too, oh and ordered up a nice new WEPR ram stayle mani for the VF24 to sit on should be ready for mapping around end of feb just in time for pod and the shows. should be on track a fair bit this year too. pics will follow when something worth showing happens lol.
