my 14 again!

[mike g]

finally got the mad idea out of my head to sell my car and said i was going to keep it, it hasnt seen much road since last day out in mondello in november, said i was going to do abit to it and get a few more bhp outa it but i kinda went mad abit on bits i got but fuck it, its worth it,
anyway here is how my car looked last time i drove it on the road, 04-01-2010

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/as002Small.jpg

plan was engine out, sort few bits that needed to be done like broken engine mount and clutch wasnt 100% in mondello so was going to have a look at that aswell,

came across a bargin i couldnt leave then,

set of HKS Step 2 cams 264in and 272ex for €90, these cams only saw 4 events

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/cams.jpg

still hadnt fitted my z32 afm so got a trust greddy intake pipe and filter to fit it

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/as016.jpg

a set of HKS valve springs were next in line

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/mikespicsSmall.jpg

and here the bits i had gathered but the start of the new year,

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/as001Small.jpg

NGK's
Z32 AFM
HKS cams
HKS valve springs
Trust Greddy intake pipe and filter
Trust Greddy 1.2mm headgasket

next got a set of rocker arm stoppers

and a full engine gasket kit

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/as015.jpg

said id get a set of electric fans aswell seeing as i had the engine out

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0692Small.jpg

problem i had next was what turbo i wanted to use, was mad for a top mount and has all bit sorted bar the turbo and had my Trust turbo sold off but then after all the thinking said i wouldnt bother as i want good street/track response out of the car and i only had one turbo in mind to do the job for me!!

onto DW next for new braided turbo lines


http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/as022Small.jpg

and a set of aerocatch pins

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/as021Small.jpg

the following week got this box for japan

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0693Small.jpg

what was inside was the new heart

when engine was out i found out i had a OS GIKEN supersingle clutch and flywheel.
the clutch disk was badly worn

so got that sorted

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0695Small.jpg

seeing as one of my engine mounts were bust i got a swt of nismo mounts and gearbox mount

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0703Small.jpg

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0704Small.jpg

then i got around to open the new box and get a look at my new baby

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0700Small.jpg

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0701Small.jpg

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0702Small.jpg

a set of ACL bearings then would do the job the finest

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/DSCF0708Small.jpg

with a set of oversized forged pistons aswell for good measures

set the engine of to murphy's engine overhauls to get the block skimmed and cylinders bored to match oversize pistons and get the head skimmed and HKS valve springs put in

http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa79/glanza_v_1998/as001Small-1.jpg

sound, didnt plan on spending this much to be honest but at least its going to be 100% when back


love this car mike, glad to see ya keepin her

ya was only being offered swaps really and didnt really want to sell as i love it,

plan was to have it out and ready for mondello on 14th march but getting the car mapped by FC Tunning on the 13th of march so not really in the mood for 2 trips up the country in a short space of time,
wonder how long the gearbox will last:eek::eek:

[1-JAY-Z]

Some amount of work and money going into this fairplay, Can I be really cruel tho and say I much preferred it with the original front.

[mike g]

Can I be really cruel tho and say I much preferred it with the original front.

nope not cruel at all, i loved the other front, broken bumper and no chance of getting the bumper again and no paint match made me go s15, but for the price i got all the s15 parts it was worth it, i love it both ways tbh,

sound again for the ras
