JDMginge Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) so basically ive owned the car for over a year now but when i bought it i had to put it in my mates garage till mine was sorted which meant i couldnt even see it for the first 3 months lol ive been meaning to make this since day 1 but never got round to it and have been moaned at by a few people for it so here it is in pictures from day 1 its a 1998 sr with loads of owners and mileage is at 125000 its been around on here ive seen it was pretty much standard just a full glanza interior even down to the low boost button haha i then a week later got some coilovers adjustable panhard rod and a front oem brace of jhandy whos a good mate of mine then i finally got it in my own garage and the work started 3 months later !!! my wheels needed some tyres and refurb so off they came too then jhandy asked me to come with him to pick a fpr up off a guy braking a glanza local who turned out to not know alot about what he had so i purchased a few things off him for cheap cheap, glanza bonnet, wings, bumper, lights, boot, jam spoiler, jam rear bumper,rear oem brace, rear axle front hubs glanza brakes all round, cup holders and oem wind deflectors and all for just over £300 and i werent even gonna do much to this car haha then my bay felt neglected so i treated it and these bad boys turned up and after a lot of thinking of going boost or not i decided to keep n/a and got thesethrottle bodies and apexi middle and rear system for a glanza which then meant making dean @rwd work his magic then that meant i had to get a half rad to fit theres still a few minor adjusments needed to get the itb's working fully and ive also decided i want the n/a look back so it will be going in for a full respray and all the old panels back on eventuallythats pretty much it i think thats as far as i am now i dont really know how far i am gonna go with this car all comments welcome good or bad im always willing to take people opinions and knowledge in Edited June 9, 2017 by JDMginge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Im so glad you said you're going back to the n/a look. I think the rep look should be reserved for tubbys imo.Get an emanage blue on there and get the most from them itb's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDMginge Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) yea i just kept looking at n/a threads and i fell for the look more and more but i will be keeping the wings and interior i might get a standard glanza rear bumper maybe side skirts and as for managment i bought the throttle bodies of chris on here and he also sold me his fpr and apexi neo so it should do the job for now unless i decide i want to go further with performance, i want to focus on the handling getting that perfect Edited December 7, 2014 by JDMginge Quote Link to post Share on other sites
