Since the new engine a turbo the car hasnt beeing running to its full potential so i am going to change that.

The car has been due a map since the new engine so she is booked in for the 13th of december at TD this should make such a difference and get her back to her full potential.

A few more things:

Poly bushed engine mounts

A new clutch

And the boost controler is going to be removed in its place the wastgate is going to be given a 1 bar spring so i can run just wastgate pressure should be making about 230/235 bhp which is plenty for me.

Some time soon:

Adjustable panhard bar

Full set of braided brake lines

😎

1 bar wastegate springs

A 6 puck stage 4 unsprung clutch

430cc tuning development injectors

I am glad to say I gave been able to get back Woking on my glanza.

It's been a while because of the cold weather and a change of jobs but it's time for some work again.

Starting the japfest 1 prep.

First of all my new spec stage 4 clutch is finally in the car and I was lucky as there was no grinding to the bell housing needed. It is a very snappy clutch either on or off but it feels brilliant to drive with.

Old one on the left new one on the right.

A few pics of it on the car

This rings me one step closer to a mapping session that is very much needed at the monet

I have new wastegate springs (1bar) and TD 430cc injectors to go in next.

So she will be in tip top condition for japfest 1.
