Erik Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) Hey. I'm new to this forum and like to introduse myself and my Starlet.I first bought a standard cheapest edition 99 mod SR.As it looked when I bougt it.I want to convert it into a Glanza, so the cheapest way for was to buy a donor car. I importet a Glanza fro Japan which had some of the specs I wanted. Don't shoot me as I'm going to part it out. We are not allowed by the gouverment to use j.spec cars on the road so need to put all the parts I want from the j.spec to my LHD car.The Glanza when I got itSpecs on the Glanza:BLITZ Front mounted intercoolerBLITZ Blow off valve,HKS air filter,NAGAI ULTRA spark plug cable,VARIS Carbon bonnet,TRD radiator cap,Earth wiring,TEIN Camber adjsutable coilover,CUSCO under bar,TRD stabilizer,APEX'i N1 SUS muffler,RAYS 16inch light weight alloysDifflock of unknown markI have also bought some carbon parts of Mc Chu:98 spec front lipRear lipRear spoilerFendersSome carbon partsStarted to transfer some parts. First the wheelsNext i put on was headlamps, sideindicators, 98 spec front, Varis CF hood and front seatsThe white one lookes a bit sad.Next was the coilovers and fendersBought some Cusco 40mm Diameter carbon shaft strut bar front and rear and mounted themAnd a litle picture of my other car, a Celica gt4Started to take the 4e-fte engine apart. Remove what I don't need like AC an IC. I ordered av TD04 kit and bought Power FC.Got my frontbumper modyfied and paintedThis is how it stands now. Only fitted wind deflectors afte picture taken.

Erik Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 I got both front and back waiting to be mounted. Also got the rear wing with brakelight, but to fit that I need to make holes inn my backlid. I'm fitting the Glanza speedo now. Is it a direct fit on the SR loom?

JAG Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Nice mate lookin wikid I have those wind defenders Cut the vision down on the passenger wing mirror a lil but worth the sacrifice for looks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Your car is more or less the same as mine Fenders, although mine are FRP ZEP ones, Carbon front and rear lip, Carbon spoiler, Cusco Carbon strut braces, you know the score mate Glanza clocks will be hard mate, I have Paseo white clocks in mine and that was a hard job, not seen any wiring diagrams for the glaza ones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Erik Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have to get my Celica up and running before I change the engine. I will take it out of the white soon to shine it up a bit. I'm not sure to go the way with forging or just leave it with stock internls. Also need to buy some 550cc injectors. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Erik Posted November 25, 2008 Author Share Posted November 25, 2008 Got my WEPR TD04 kit today. I got the wrong manifold so I'll se what he will do with that. I'm not sure which intercooler to go with. The one that followed the turbokit or the Blitz one I already got. The Blitz one is bigger.Parts waiting to be mountedIntercoolersIntercooler thikness.What intercooler to go for? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
