Vturbo Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Well I thought after four years of ownership I should start I a build thread.It all started in 2010 when I found a completely standard example glanza with a load of jap service history.This is a picture of when I got it.It's been my daily in London so it's got a few scars. Spec it's being built to so far:Forged engine, Wossner 74.5 pistons and scat rods, JE MLS 1.3 head gasket,ARP head bolts and ARP main studs. Stock headTD04lWEPR mild steel manifoldInnovate scg-1 boost controller and wideband RW developments Decat screamerPlanning to map on a dastek uni chip ecu once all ran in Blitz nur spec cat backJperformance FMICK&n filter relocated to front bumper ORC clutchMagnecor leads Tuning developments fuel pump BC Coilovers Ebc front disksFull OEM recaro interior but with speed seats up frontRota grid V with parada spec 2's.But here's some pics of what it looks like at the moment.I had to roll the arches as the wheels where scrubbing on the drivers side.Made some seat covers for the time being aswellSo that's about it for now and il keep you guys updated!
