The Life Of My Car

[GeeUK]

Hello guys,

I won't bore you with the spec list, its too big! But there are some rolling road print outs amongst all of the below B)

So...when I first bought my Glanza, it started out like this (Don't laugh):

It came off the boat with some crappy side skirt, dodgy jap rusting exhaust, HKS filter, fuel cut defencer, HKS springs and Razo light weight 14" rims.

Well, next came along:

FMIC, Buddy Club 15" rims, D2 coilovers, rear struct brace, stainless steel exhaust including decat, uprated discs and pads amongst other things:

Things were OK for a while. I went through a few stainless manifolds, ran 1bar on the standard CT9 turbo.

I then hit a wall, crusing in the countryside at 3mph, lol. I was on low beam! Smashed some of my bumper, a fog light and water bottle.

So, out came the fogs, new water bottle in!

After stripped the interior, I thought: "Why do things by halfs?" and the car ended up like this!

Complete stripped out, no carpet and back to 14" light weight rims!

Well, as time went on and miles got higher, I eventually blew the thing up, lol. Bent a rod:

Well, bought a new engine and put the new turbo kit I had stored away on!

And paddle clutch:

Bloody hell fella its come a long way from when you bought, seems like youve spent a fair penny on it as well

But thats what its about i spose.

 

[edde]

What sort of boost is that TD04 running at any idea on what spec /trim it is? Shame you cannot hold the oque longer.
Still very quick car though.

Have you done any more track days in it?

 

[cK]

Not bad, looks like you've spent some time and money on the car.

When you bought the new engine did you uprate any internals or just leave them std?

 

[Dave S2K]

Very smart that, bet it fair shifts too.

 

[cat171]

Nice little motor that, rare as too - I bet it proper shifts
