JDMfreak Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 well time for another little update after a few days of hardship with the gearbox swap finally have it with 5 gears turned out clutch was wanked so picked up a 5 speed box along with clutch flywheel and release bearing for €100 i did get to drive car before engine was pulled out so i knew box was good also passed its nct was a re test but only failed on small stuff the power bug is getting to me so that's next up some sort of engine upgrade the 4efe i was meant to buy has fell through he doesn't know what he is doing with it but for now the 1e will have to do more handling upgrades are getting done front arb and rear in the meantime a sneaky shot of it in my mates garage popped out the spots to give them a clean and noticed they are a 100w bulbs no wonder there so bright Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 very goood plan do al the handling and brakes first then go poooower i did it the wrong way round and has cost me plenty of parts !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 going to upgrade master cylinder as the 1.0 is tiny and then do all the brakes i don't really wanna swap out rear axles as handbrake is spot on 3 clicks and is locked solid fronts will get new hubs and bearings all round so i can run vented and grooved discs like my glanza had front anti roll bar will have to be beefy trd id say is best bet and rear anti roll bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5e colin Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 dont bother with front only as it will induce understeer if going hard my car is solid on the rear and soft ish on the front handles perfect also has to do with drinking style i mean driving style ha ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMfreak Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 how can i go hard in a 1e haha i can get front arb for nothing so may aswell fit it what anti roll bar on rear you running haha i only drink weekend saturday and cars isn't touched till Monday or Tuesday Quote Link to post Share on other sites
