Looks clean Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

Avoid Jperformance manifolds, they are very cheap stainless and will give you more aggro. They crack very easily / quickly. Look at WEPR in the traders section, they are not particularly pricey for a ct9 replacement.

First of all thanks very much mate! I've read your build thread so many times lol that engine bay is just something of dreams!

Secondly I will definitely take that on board will take a look at them tonight when I'm done work!

Exhaust should be easily repairable plus SS can be cleaned up to look new.

I'd say don't be too rushed to td04.

An ECU upgrade along side an adjustable actuator is all you need to liven it up nicely!

You would think that mate but it's had plates welded on it before and it's had exhaust tape on it for god knows how long. I'm taking it round to my partners dads garage as he has a lift and a welder and will see what he can do! Will take photos so you can all see how rotten it is haha. I don't think there's any good solid metal to weld tbh and it's right on the mid pipe flange!

Thanks for the comments mate

Looks nice and clean.. Good purchase. Will always have a soft spot for a white V

Thanks very much mate. I love it! Ordered some wax this morning so it will be getting a full detail this weekend! You got a r32 skyline? Gtst or gtr? Way jealous lol

Did you buy this from Bedford way?

Got it from Hertfordshire mate! Tring to be exact

It was imported in 2007 as far as I'm aware but roughly 60000 miles so it's not too shabby! Found out today I have a crack in my exhaust manifold and a blow in my exhaust which isn't surprising as I'm pretty sure it's been on since it was imported, it certainly looks like it haha! Definitely has plenty of potential and I can't wait to get started with some nice mods! Next month is new manifold and cat back though! Going to go with the jperformance ones from tuning developments. They're stainless steel and nicely braced and have a year warranty so it should do nicely untill I can afford something slightly better. Who knows might even go td04 in the future! 😄 Haha

Thanks mate! Already been a member since April 2014 but only just bought my first V. They really are fantastic cars aren't they? Hope everything's good man! Hopefully going to make it to japfest this year aswell!

Thanks mate I shall have a look! Thought it might be something along those lines!

Also can someone please shed some light on what this switch could possibly be? Is it OEM or possibly something to do with my turbo timer? Thanks guys! 😊

Hi guys after what seems like an eternity I finally have my very own white 1997 V ! I've wanted one so badly! Any ways here she is in all her glory! I've started a build thread so make sure you all start looking and commenting new exhaust manifold and cat back to come next week as my hks hi power silent has seen better days lol!

So its been a long time coming. ( 2 years to be exact ) But yesterday I finally purchased my first glanza and I absolutely LOVE it. Boost is so addictive.

It's come with some small modifications to begin with and has the cleanest interior. I have relatively big plans for it in the future but for now I plan on just enjoying it ( famous last words lol )

Spec list:

HKS Hi-Power SIlent

HID conversion

TRD carbon clock surround

OEM LSD

Front and rear strut braces

HKS mushroom filter

HKS SSQV BOV

HKS turbo timer

Unsure on brand of wheels

KYB Shocks and apex lowering springs

Blitz 60mm boost gauge

Anyway heres some pictures of it!

First on the agenda was a good clean

Look forward to your comments!

Lovely car mate. I'm originally from Inverness and I'm so sure I've seen this little jem about. Keep up the good work will be a beaut when it's done.

Yeah man pretty much just wanting to see what the scene is like down that way

Moving down to Windsor in the next couple of months.. Wondering what the starlet scene is like down there. Any meets or that happening let me know I've been into starlets a while now planning on getting one for next summer cheers lads
