I want it to be an absolute sleeper.So far I bought a blitz nur spec cat-back exhaust , a td04 turbo and decat off one of my brothers friends and a greddy ultimate ecu a 3 bar map sensor and bc coiloversI plan to td04 it properly in the summer once I have other supporting mods purchased (injectors , fmic , clutch )This will be a slow thread as I'm a student and money is tight as I don't work many hours .

glanza ep91 23 Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Small update on my glanza i change the fuel pump to a uprated walbro pump After that i prepared my glanza for nct by putting bacl in the interior,legal plates etc and was perfect before the nct, when i sent her in tho the bollox in there sat on the limiter for literally 5 mins and got out smiling but she was blowing thick white smoke and he drove it out quickly and then he proceded to tell me "your car overheated laady and i couldnt finished the test" i was pissed because ive owned her over 2 yrs and nothing ever serious went wrong with her till this bollox went at it "testing" so now ive to delay my tdo4 plan slighty and now ive pulled the engine myself with the help of a few friends and my brother now ive to strip it and fix things and also do the oil pump,remove abs, tidy the loom by removing abs and aircon wiring Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bug679 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 What a bollocks doing that on the test in fairness I would of went through him. Don't like anyone even sitting in drivers seat let alone revving the dung out of it. On the up doh fair play for not letting it get to you and whacking on the td04 👍🏻Cracking job your doing keep it up 😀 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 If it was me I would have unhinged the salad. I'm sure it says on the disclaimer you sign the car is revved to 3000rpm for so long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Nice going how old are you now? Your insurance must be eye watering lol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanza ep91 23 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Im 18 now and its under fleet insurance and ya the irish nct system is a load of bollox because when you send your car in the nct wave any responsibility,theve done this to other cars and nothing has ever happen to them unless it was a crash or significant damage done Quote Link to post Share on other sites
