tomfahy30 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just picked up my Glanza from Torque GT this morning and to say I'm in love is an understatement. Seeing the car in the flesh after months of waiting for it to come in was one thing, but then driving it and getting my eyes opened to just how good these little pocket rockets are was amazing. Darren in Torque GT was amazing and sourced me a gorgeous Glanza and done a few bits for me before I collected it like installing an alarm, full uderseal etc. Highly recommend these guys if anyone is looking to bring one in. Not the cheapest way of getting your hands on one I'm sure but you get a top notch service from start to finish and I am very glad of the fact I could literally go down take the keys and drive away. All import fees etc was taken care of by these guys making it a very stress free process for me. I had a lovely drive in mostly traffic back to London but it gave me hours and hours to get used to the car and its quirks and be totally smitten with it! Only thing I'm struggling with currently is getting the electric mirrors to fold back out? They retract just fine but can't get them to fold back out? Any ideas of what the issue is or if I'm just being a tool and just not foing something right? Any advise much appreciated! Thomas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomfahy30 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Thanks Nick! Hmm yeah they aren't going back out with the button so not sure what's going on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMX-RIG Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Great buy! Any plans? With regards to the mirrors, can you hear the motor trying to unfold them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomfahy30 Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Loads of plans, I think getting some bucket seats (sit so high in the standard ones) and suspension will be the goals by christmas! For now I want to just drive it and enjoy it and work out any of the weak points. Brakes need to be bled for sure and then I want to do leads and spark plugs just for the sake of doing them and peace of mind. Also no, I can't hear the motors going trying to unfold them, just retracting them. It did it once earlier in the day but nothing since so I'm unsure what's going on.

For a quick win, the EP82 GT Seats fit straight in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomfahy30 Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Will definitely look into the 82 seats as an option. Thinking of visiting gsm performance at some stage for a look to and get a feel for what I want. Quick update, day 2 of ownership - just as amazing as day 1! Always thought these cars were so cool since my neighbour had one when I was younger but I had never been actually in one so didn't realise how good they were! Loving every minute of driving and getting used to the car. Did some very small bits today, first off, got the rear tyres replaced by Torque with uniroyal rainsport 3s so rotated these to the front and put the toyos that came on the car from Japan in the back to help with some more grip at the front. There were 5mm spacers on the back but have just taken them off for now as one of the wheels seems to be slightly different specs to the other 3 and the lug nuts are not as recessed so want to make sure for now that everything is nice and secure. Might look at spacers in time but may end up with some new wheels altogether instead with better fitment. Removed the razo pedals as the brake one was missing and replaced them with some aluminium "trd" ones I got on ebay, I think they look the part. Snatched up some Status error mats in the last batch he did a few weeks ago as well so put the starlet ones away for safe keeping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
