  1. Hi, Over a month ago I had the TDO4 kit off my Glanza for sale on here. Member "yaristurbo" PM'd me with interest in the kit and paid me deposit. As soon as the kit was paid for in full it was delivered to him promptly. Few days later, I got a text message saying that the turbo I sold him was defective and he wanted this sorted. He said the turbo was smoking badly. I am not the sort of person who would sell a turbo if I thought it was defective but the strange thing was I had it fitted to my Glanza and driving it for months with not one puff of smoke but yaristurbo claimed it is smoking badly and wanted money. I was 100% sure the turbo was perfect, even when I removed it from my car I checked it and there was no oil seeping or no shaft play at all. Still, I wouldn't wash my hands off this and I didn't tell him that it was "sold as seen" or anything like that I asked him to send me the turbo and I will get it checked / repaired and not charge him. - Only reason I offered this was because I knew the turbo had to be perfect and I was thinking that maybe there was an issue with his engine for the smoking but he said "his tuner" agreed with him it was a bad turbo. yaristurbo declined my offer of returning the turbo to me to get it checked with this PM: "Sorry can't do that all i want and are willing to do is have the turbo repair here and you send the money over" After many more PM's with him threatening to make a dispute via Paypal looking for his "turbo rebuild" cash I asked him to do one more thing for me - I asked him to take a video camera, go out to his car, start the car, open the bonnet and show me the turbo fitted, walk around to the rear of the car and show me the smoke. Now until this day he has never replied and no video to prove! From the time he sent me the PM saying he wont send the turbo back and will only accept my cash I knew the turbo was not defective as I checked it and tested it on my car for months! Anyway, as this is what the sales feedback forum is for, I though I would share my experience with you. Learn to be smart with these kind of people!
  2. Been a member on here I thought I would post up some pics of my new Glanza Bumper! Comments welcome
  3. 2 of them are now sold. Im keeping the white one!
  4. Hi all, I purchased my Glanza in Late April 2007. Unfortunatley I cannot get access to the pics I took of it back then. Basically, it came in from Japan (me been the first Irish owner) with red Sparco Crimsons alloys in 14 inch. It had 1998 spec clear front indicators, Blitz boost gauge, Blitz Air-Breather, HKS actuator, Fujitsbu Cat-Back exhaust, TRD Shocks with RSR lowering springs. It also had huge stickers on both drivers and passengers doors and on the bonnet with numbers "110" on it! First thing to do was to change the alloys. I bought a brand new set of Lenso RS5's in 16 inch. Then I came across the 1996 spec optional extra splitter. Git it fitted along with a set of eyebrows and an autobahn FMIC. Never was a fan of the Blitz sun-visor and it is still on lol! It will be coming off next week though. Standard seats had to go. Did not like them! Replaced them with a brand new pair of these: And harnesses: An Apexi Turbo Timer and an Apexi RSM were next installed: Engine bay after a de-grease: Replaced the 1996 spec rear lights with 1998 spec: Rear Strut Brace: After driving the Glanza for over a year I felt I was getting bored of it and bought a Skyline R33 last Summer (2008) I have not driven the Glanza since September 2008 so decided I would strip the aftermarket parts from it and flog them and then sell the Glanza as standard. By Christmas all the aftermarket bits were gone:( Sudden change of heart in January 09 and I wanted the Glanza back!:rockon: So the modifying began! I got the Glanza onto a lorry (Glanza was stripped - no intercooler / mani etc...) and transported it into my garage:) Into the Garage and it looking sad and neglected on 4th April 2009 - not for long though! It was also looking very intimidated by the 3 Skylines lol! First thing to do was get rid of the 1996 spec bumper / spoiler and skirts. New ones will be fitted next week - Watch this thread on how it progresses over the next week. I got stuck into the classifieds of TGTT and picked up alot of parts. - Emanage Blue - 2 New seats - Steering wheel - WEPR fmic - New EBC Greenstuff pads - SPS Mani - SPS decat New lights front and rear were fitted. Now I am just waiting for the bodykit to come back from spraying:rockon: haha the gay look: Finally got the bodykit fitted and the car washed and polished:rockon: Enjoy, All comments welcome:p
