Hello all, My name is Jurriën and I'm from the Netherlands! I've done some reading up here in the past and I thought this should be time to introduce myself. About my car history, I started with a black 1.4iS Honda Civic which I had to break down and sell all the parts because it had been in a crash before. I didn't know that at the time when I bought it. After that I wanted something more reliable and faster, so I bought a Civic, again. This time it was an EK4, Europe's VTI. This one I bought bonestock and modded it till it suited my wishes. Stock: And in it's full glory: So after the last MOT I wanted to make this a project Civic, rebuild the suspension and stuff, make it a trackday Civic. But on the other hand, I wanted a Japanese import like a Skyline or Supra. It's just that they're so frikking expensive to keep (insurance, petrol) Then a mate of mine pointed out a Glanza V and I fell in love almost instantly. I think it will be cheaper to keep than the Civic and also it will use less fuel BUT will be as fast as the Civic or even faster. So I did some readups and got me some base knowledge about a Glanza. About 3 weeks ago I went to a Starlet meeting in Holland, there was 1 Glanza amongst the other starlets and I figuered that it really is a car which I can live with. Small, but fierce. So I sold my Civic last weekend and a local import shop in Holland showed me a nice Glanza V, also the price was right. So after 2 or 3 calls with them to make sure everything is ok with that Glanza I decided to buy it! It's on it's way to the UK now as we speak and it should arrive there in about 3 weeks. Then a couple of days later it will be on Dutch soil! Can't wait >< It's a white '98 (facelift) Glanza V which has some nice subtle mods already but it's engine is bonestock (I didn't want a build engine since I want to do that all by myself.) I sadly can't say any more about the Glanza because I've sworn to myself to make it public when I actually have it sitting in front of my doorstep. So you'll have to be patient but I think it rocks, already! So this Glanza is going to be the project that the Civic would have been. I've already started collecting parts to make about 180 hp @ 0.9 bar so I guess that's a good start. Also a BC-racing suspension set is waiting for it and the RAYS wheels which were on the Civic will be put on the Glanza. Guess that's all of it for now, I'll be reading some more projects here and hope to learn just a bit more! Cheers, Jurriën
