well some off you maybe thinking what happened to this conversion where did all the updates go. lol
Well its had about 500 man hours put in to it, basically 3 engines, 2 clutches, wiring loom change over, gearbox removed about 4 times and now its up and running
Hats off to everyone who helped me with this. who are Idrees, 2 of my cousins and a few mates. They saw how angry i was a times towards the car and they helped me to venture on and finish it right till today, and im still going as i know it was worth it.
After hours of swearing, sweat and anger.
The first engine had a valve stuck open. (still to be investigated).
The second engine the bottom end started knocking the day after we got it started up and running, couldn't find the fault in what happened with that.
It was then rebuilt, with the bottom end off the first engine and the head off of the second.
We then found that the car wouldnt engage gear at idle 1st and reverse had to switch the car off just about get it in to gear then start it up. found the TRD clutch was buggered, so it was replaced with a standard one.
Then came along a set of wheels Idrees bought, to spray up and sell, but i gladly took them off his hands.
car went for MOT on tuesday, failed on a few little things, paid the garage to do these little bits as i felt i'd done enough hard work. and it passed. Here's a quick couple of pics, will get more soon and hopefully get the boost creep/fuel cut issue sorted and get a dyno run done before i get a hybrid.
i also have a carbon rear lip to go on.
(((This car is built not bought)))
Also had some fun against a 206 GTI, was funny seeing his face as i passed him. lol

Finally. :rockon:
So, yesterday me and my brother (Idrees) were cleaning out the garage and whilst we were at it we decided to fit my FMIC on to the car with the custom brackets etc ready for when I fit the engine and conversion parts. plans were to start in the next month or so.
Anyway, got the bumper off and we both looked at each other asking if we should just whack the engine in now...
And the results are below.
Fmic fitting (we didn't even fit it in the end!)
A messy garage which got cleaned up very fast once we got excited about the conversion!
The baby FE
The FTE
Glanza dash loom getting in place along with steering column
As it was sunday/bank holiday monday we had to work with no engine crane..
Getting there..
Two mounts on..
A list of parts/mods.
Glanza engine, gearbox and driveshafts
Glanza engine/dash loom
Power steering conversion using Glanza steering rack and steering wheel
Glanza indicator/wiper stalks, dials and heater controls
Engine fully serviced
Glanza radiator
CT9A turbo with wastegate ported
SPS mild steel manifold
Nightpager decat screamer pipe
HKS actuator
Nology HT leads with earthing points
NGK iridium plugs
Autofixed fmic
Powerflow exhaust system
SARD rising rate fuel pressure regulator
SARD fuel pressure gauge
Blitz supersound bov
HKS fuel cut defencer
Filter relocation kit (custom)
ZEP radiator cap
TRD/Exedi paddle clutch
Thats all i can think of, should be a nice step up from 87bhp!
