jays glanza resurrection.. aka the phoenix

[jayc-glanza17]

Today the tps and idle maps were adjusted and a small tweak to bring boost in a little earlier.

Couldnt set the geo up as the ramp broke so couldnt get the lasers on it.

So be going back on 22nd for full geo set up.

But she is running faultlessly.

Mot is hopefully next week

Update..

Car passed its mot today.

And is now road ready..

Been a long journey, few little niggles 2 sort though..

Whilst at mot station car passed brake test with flying colours.

But tester who is a friend of family noticed the brake didnt seem to feel like they were stopping, yet were clearly doing the job.

But the initial depress isnt confidence inspiring.

Anyone had this?

I know pads have got to bed in, but i dont think this is the issue.

Sorted brake niggle out.

I bled the system again forgot how good my brakes were.

So i picked up a couple body parts recently.

A rear bumper with oem rear lip and livesport replica side skirts

Rear before

Rear now

Test fitting skirts

also new rad cap has arrived today so can refit the rad and get boosting again.

Attended tunerfest at brands hatch yesterday..

Managed to take it on track..

First track outing since accident last year..

Went really well once tyres warmed up..

Handles really well but will take time to get used too..

However it appears i have a brake servo related issue as my brake pedal went hard and had not a lot of feel so was braking really early..

Such a relief to be back out there again..

If any sees any pics etc on facebook let me know

[jayc-glanza17]

Sure theirs few pics on facebook mike.

11 months exactly since accident what a journey

[jayc-glanza17]

Heres few pics of cage install and from tunerfest.

still trying sort the brake issue which i will look into when time allows..

But handling wise very impressed with new set up.

[jayc-glanza17]

Brakes are now sorted.. my god there good again..

Done a day at brands hatch indy 2 weeks ago. Car has smashed my old glanza lap time..

Managed a 57.91

Car has run faultlessly mechanically only issue has been an electrical gremlin which the revs drop when fan kicks in and sometimes the ecu sees a signal to switch injectors off.

But over winter that will get sorted.

Plan for winter is..

Lexan windows. Repair the fibreglass cruise wings and bonnet. Then enjoy it.

[jayc-glanza17]
