  19. yeah man the armrest i got for a steal off ebay...... i got it for 20 quid ;) BOOM! bargain of the year for me that was ;) only problem is when i was fitting it, the 2 bolts that screw into the botttom of the car that hold the armrest in place have mis threaded and i cant seem to get the bolts back in now ;) so im guessing im gonna have to somehow re-tap the holes with a new thread? Dan

  24. heya there pal ;) Yeah the glanza is slowly but surely getting built up ;) got the power im happy with now so just need the looks to come this summer i hope ;) and handling mods ofc! Yeah that is true, i was looking at a supra..
  25. Heya guys i have been signed up here since before i even got a glanza and tbh i should have started this build thread the day i bought her but instead i have jsut been reading and posting really! So now im gonna have to kinda start a build thread even though there has been a lot of work done already but here goes! I bought the Glanza back in june time 2009 and tbh it needed a few things doing to it lemme see if i can find some pictures because i dont take many pictures but im gonna start!! So yeah that pretty much how i got it. i did a little bit of painting under the engine bay lol and i know yes its VERY colourful under there And obviously gave it a very good clean because the last guy didnt really look after the paintwork very well so there was and still are alot of bad points on the paintwork. also i fitted some d2 track coilies to here which are on in the first 2 pics but the rear was seized up hence why i could lower th rear but the front was pretty low.. When i bought the car, it came with some sort of back box but the rest of the system was standard, it came with a forge motorsport bov, some i 15" alloys which look like mr2 standard alloys lol, and a boost gauge and thats all so it was a pretty good base to start on as the car engine wise and looks was standard! This is really difficult because i didnt take any pics so i guess its just gonna be writing for ya all to read.. hope ya all dont mind! for the first year of ownership i only purchased a few things and just worked on keeping the car going lol. over the year i just Bought some lightweight enkie wheels (for sale atm) and a 98 spec front bumper with carbon canards and a laguna splitter off a member on here i think he is called danny.. Also purchased a air filter relocation kit with JR blue cotton filter and a HKS actuator. Just a few with the 98 spec bumper fitted Then one day i was at work and thought you know what i just want big power (not compared to some) so i just got on the phone to nick at tuning developments and after a month or so of chatting and exchanging PMs i had a list sorted of what i wanted doing and then i got her booked in. i dropped her off and she got the following done to her: Aircon removal JPerformance Front mount intercooler (massive) JPerformance CT9 manifold JPerformance full catback 2.5" exhaust system Tuning developments 255l/h Fuel pump G-Reddy Emanage Ultimate ECU with 3 bar map sensor Mapped on standard CT9 to 1bar So when i picked her back up it was safe to say that i was pleased with the result of the Glanza trip to tuning developments!! and the map was spot on however when i was there nick and mike noted that my clutch was slipping as the turbo was passing around 0.8 bar so anything passed that the clutch is slipping... which is annoying. lol. After a while i got annoyed with my coilies and then took a trip up to Zac in bradford? i think lol! and picked up some tanabe front dampers and springs and then standard dampers and TTe srpings on the rear and then sold my D2 coilies onwards. So now im rolling comfy but with no cornering ability whatsoever lol! Anywho!! Onwards! Just recently i developed a squeek coming from the pulleys and belts and after numeroud attempts at tightening these up with no avail i took it my trusty mechanic and he informed me that the crank seal was leaking and on its way out and was leaking oil onto the pulleys causing a constant annoying squeek... With this in mind i ordered a new crank seal and also a timing belt as this made sense to change it while that part of the engine was been worked on and also went all out and purchase a brand new SPEC 6 Puk clutch fron Tuning developments so there will be no problem with the slipping clutch in the future Currently the car is in the garage getting the crank seal, clutch and timing belt and flywheel skimmed done and should get that back in a few days with a hefty bill! So here are the recentish pictures of my glanza to show what she looks like nowadays compared to what it looked like when i BOUGHT (not BROUGHT! ;)) her! Alos just purchased some new shoes for her and will be fitted next week at some point but probably wont look to amazing just yet because of the ride height pics: They are a set of rota cups 16" with stretched tyres, also bought these off a guy on here! So yeah guys there ya go that my glanza for you guys to look at, now i know this isnt much of a build up thread because like i said i aint much of a picture whore but i will turn into one from now on and will be updating this whenever my car gets an update ;) next one should be with the wheels fitted next week some time! Let me know your opinions guys, good or bad i dont mind as long as its constructive critism ;) Thanks, Dan
